However, before Dongfang Mian could think of a way to break the awkward silence, someone else came to her door.
The fifth elder of the Meng family came this time, and his attitude was completely different from that of the Ren family. The fifth elder of the Meng family didn't even give them a second glance from the moment he entered.
Yan Lin suddenly felt that he was more accepting of this attitude. At least they wouldn't make a move on Dongfang Mian if they looked down on her, right?
Just then, the Fifth Elder said, "You must be Master Dongfang. Our young master told us about you after he returned. Our clan has decided to give you this opportunity to join the Meng family. Being recruited by the Meng family at your age is a great honor for your family."
Dongfang Mian was speechless. Did your ancestors know that you were speaking to the future deity in this manner?
"Our Meng family will provide you with all kinds of resources, including taking care of your marriage. We have already selected ten outstanding core bloodline disciples for you to choose from. We will definitely not shortchange you on the betrothal gifts. Only our Meng family in the entire Immortal Realm can afford such a generous gesture," the Fifth Elder said proudly.
Yan Lin behind Dongfang Mian: ...
Dongfang Mian looked at the self-satisfied Fifth Elder with a speechless expression. After the Fifth Elder finished praising the Meng family, Dongfang Mian quietly asked, "I wonder how your Meng family's ten core disciples compare to the young master of the Ren family?"
The Fifth Elder glanced at her sideways and said, "Our Meng family head refines weapons, and our Ren family head refines pills. They are both core disciples with similar talents. It's just that the young master of the Ren family has a more prestigious status."
The implication was that if it weren't for his status as the young master, Ren Qingyun would be no match for the disciples of the Meng family.
"They're almost the same, which means there's still a gap. You said the young master is more distinguished, so I have nothing to hesitate about. Ah Ju, see the guest out! And go tell the Ren family that I've agreed to their conditions," Dongfang Mian said.
Aju agreed and immediately started shooing the Fifth Elder out. The latter had never been treated like this before. He glared at Dongfang Mian with a red face and thick neck, but something quickly flashed through his mind.
"Has the Ren family already come looking for you?" the Fifth Elder asked.
Dongfang Mian nodded, "The conditions offered by the Ren family are much better than yours. I didn't realize it until I compared them, and I was shocked. Tsk tsk."
Seeing the look of disgust on Dongfang Mian's face, the Fifth Elder slammed his hand on the table and said, "Tell me, what are the conditions of the Ren family? Our Meng family will double them."
"Double?" Dongfang Mian shook her head. "I have no designs on your young master."
"What does this have to do with our young master...! The Ren family agreed to your relationship with Ren Qingyun?!" The Fifth Elder suddenly realized.
"I didn't say that, you just guessed it yourself. But the second elder of the Ren family said that as long as I agree, he will pluck the stars from the sky for me. He also said that in the future, he will rely on me to lead the Ren family to unify the Immortal Realm. You can see how much they value me," Dongfang Mian said casually.
"Second Elder of the Ren family! That old scoundrel, I knew the Ren family had ill intentions. Sure enough, hmph, they want to unify the Immortal Realm and trample my Meng family underfoot. Bah!" The Fifth Elder was furious.
However, compared to the young master of the Ren family, his ten core disciples were not attractive at all. Even if he gave twenty of them to Dongfang Mian, they would still not be as good as the young master of the Ren family.
The Fifth Elder stared at Dongfang Mian for a while, then suddenly calmed down and said, "If you agree to our request, I will go back and persuade the head of the family to marry you. Anyway, the head of the family's wife has been gone for a long time, so your seniority will be higher than that of the young master."
