"What about the other nine families? The nine families of Yunlu City, Xiao Jiu, do you know anything about them?"
Mingmei remembered that there was another family that had been wiped out, so she couldn't help but ask about that family that had been destroyed, but Mei Jiu shook her head.
She genuinely didn't know that.
It's unbearable.
She's not omnipotent.
"I heard that the Nine Families were on good terms with some local sect, but when something happened, that sect didn't dare to utter a single word."
Although Mei Jiu didn't know, Lu Xiaoyao raised her hand and talked about what she knew, but what she knew was also told to her by Merita.
The relationships between cultivation families are even more complicated than those between sects. They usually befriend or attach themselves to some cultivation sects.
As Lu Xiaoyao knows, for example, the family her character comes from is not very large. They also want to establish a relationship with Jingyun Mountain by having Lu Xiaoyao and the others become disciples of Jingyun Mountain, and then eagerly seek their protection.
The clan system to which Merita belongs is much larger and stronger than some of the smaller sects in Tiannan.
Therefore, their family did not belong to the kind of sect that depended on the immortal cultivation sect, but rather had a friendly and mutually beneficial relationship. However, once the nine families were wiped out, the previous relationship of equal dialogue no longer existed.
Immediately after the incident, Merita took the Seven Sea Anemones, gathered the remaining treasures of the family, and went into hiding, without even bothering to seek out the sects or other aristocratic families that had once been on good terms with the Nine Families.
I witnessed quite a show from the shadows.
Therefore, when Merita spoke to Lu Xiaoyao and the others, her tone was extremely sarcastic.
Merita even couldn't help but think of herself in the game, remembering her grandfather.
Her grandfather had been in federal politics for so many years. If he were to die a violent death one day, what would happen to his family and relatives, including her, who were protected by him?
To be kicked when you're down, or to be beaten when you're down?
Fortunately, she realized it in time.
Sometimes she even recalled the insults and curses she received from some of the families who had been unwittingly used by the Zerg after she and Julian had worked together to uncover the Zerg's spies in the Federation.
On the one hand, they were surprised by Merita's transformation, and on the other hand, they were furious that the arrogant and brainless girl they usually looked down on but had to coax had tricked them.
So when he was caught, he went from loudly proclaiming his innocence to becoming hysterical after the evidence was irrefutable, venting all his powerless anger on her.
Merita was so impressed by their ability to change their expressions that she had to praise their acting skills!
It's a waste that he didn't become an actor.
[If it weren't for your grandfather, someone with your personality would be dead long ago! Who do you think you are? Without your grandfather, would you still be so arrogant?!]
While living a life of hiding and dodging in the game, Merita pondered those things over and over again. Even though she had learned her lesson during the eight-school exchange, there were very few opportunities like this, with a long period of time to reflect on herself.
Once she understood many things, Merita's transformation became quite evident.
Lu Xiaoyao's feelings about not seeing him for so long were very obvious.
With a cold tone and sharp words, the other party had indeed toned down their previous arrogant and boastful demeanor in some aspects, but in others, they had become even more prominent.
For example, when you want to curse someone, you might be so sharp that you wish you could curse them to death.
Even Lu Xiaoyao felt that the person in front of her was not Mereta, but the cold and aloof senior who had already joined the Legion.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao was lost in thought, Mingmei held up a sesame ball and waved it in front of her eyes: "Snap out of it."
"Huh? What is it?" Lu Xiaoyao blinked, looking completely bewildered, not knowing what Mingmei wanted to do.
What were you thinking about just now?
"Oh... well, I was thinking that time is such a magical thing." Lu Xiaoyao touched her nose, thinking about Merita's transformation.
Because he thought the person in front of him was an NPC, he slightly altered Merita's past and mentioned the changes to Mingmei.
Upon hearing this, Mingmei immediately remembered who the other person was talking about.
According to Lu Xiaoyao, the other person has also changed a lot.
However, Mingmei thought about it and it made sense. If things hadn't changed much, given how annoying Merita was when she first appeared in front of her, who would have thought that they would end up playing together?
"You have such a wide network of connections!" Mei Jiu, who had been engrossed in eating, suddenly said to Lu Xiaoyao, "How do you know people from all over the world?"
"Ah... actually, your interpersonal skills are also quite impressive." Lu Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly. She couldn't very well say that everyone was a player working together towards the same goal, could she?
"As for me... it's because there are connections between sects. Otherwise, how would I know so many people? When I grow up, I'll travel around like everyone else, and I'll definitely become even more powerful."
Mei Jiu spoke candidly about her future plans and explained why she knew so many people.
Mingmei, who was listening nearby, suddenly remembered something.
【Gui Gui, isn't it already pretty obvious?】
What's so obvious?
Gui Gui was stunned when she suddenly heard Ming Mei speak.
[In fact, Xie Chen's collusion with the Zerg is already quite obvious; it just lacks concrete and compelling evidence to prove it.]
How to say it?
Some of Xie Zhen's divination skills are quite famous; you can find out about them with a little inquiry. Others, like the incident at Fengyu Pavilion, how many people do you think know about them? Very few people know, unless Xie Zhen himself has told someone.
