Chapter 310 Temporary
Sang Lin appreciated his nervousness and slowly sat down on the chair opposite the desk.
He leaned lazily against the back of his chair and said coldly, "I'm here to give you a message that will help you get the position of Young Patriarch."
When Dongfeng Linyuan heard that he could be the young master of the family, his eyes lit up and he almost forgot about the palm strike.
Since they were here to discuss cooperation, he wouldn't be in any danger, so he put away his anxieties.
The Dongfeng family can be said to be one of the most prominent families in the Cangwu world. Anyone who can sit on the position of young master of the family will become the head of the family in the future if nothing unexpected happens. Who wouldn't want such glory?
Moreover, with his own identity and cultivation level, two years ago, everyone looked at him as if he were the young master of the Dongfeng family.
If Dongfeng Xiyue hadn't interfered, I would be the one sitting on the throne of the young master of the family now.
He asked with interest, "Oh, what's the news?"
He understood the principle that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Any information that would allow him to obtain the position of Young Patriarch must be worth a lot of spirit stones! He just didn't know if he could afford it.
He paused and said, "What benefit do you want?"
Sang Lin sneered: "What benefits can you give me? The most you can do for me after you gain power is a few things!"
Dongfeng Linyuan frowned, "I won't do anything that is against the will of heaven. Besides, I don't know if I can get the position of Young Patriarch!"
"Are you really so unconfident?" Sang Lin sneered.
"You said it was a sure thing last time, but it didn't get done." Dongfeng Linyuan retorted.
"The last incident was all because you didn't plan well enough," he said casually. "It's up to you. If you don't want the position of Young Patriarch, then forget it."
The last time he fought Xuanhuo and Gandu, he suffered serious internal injuries, which weakened his momentum.
He had no fighting power to attack Gu Liyue at the moment, so he had to attack from Dongfeng Linyuan's side, purely to make things difficult for Gu Liyue. Unexpectedly, he was worried about failure and didn't want to cooperate.
He stared at Dongfeng Linyuan intently, then said lazily, "I know you claim to be righteous cultivators, and you're most afraid of doing things that harm heaven and earth, worried that you'll be struck by lightning when you encounter the great calamity of ascension. I won't ask you to do these things, you just need to help me gather some information, that's all."
The position of the young master of the Dongfeng family was still tempting to Dongfeng Linyuan. When he heard that he just wanted to get some information, he felt that the transaction between the two parties was quite equal, just information in exchange for information.
So he agreed, but also said that if he didn't get the position of young master of the family, he would not be able to help him find out the information.
Sang Lin just gave him a cold look, which made him flinch, then curled up the corners of his mouth in pleasure.
Approaching Dongfeng Linyuan, he revealed the relationship between Dongfeng Xiyue and Gu Liyue.
Dongfeng Linyuan's eyes widened after hearing this, and he subconsciously said, "Really?"
Sang Lin said with a serious expression: "Even pearls are not that real!"
His eyes were tired behind his hood. He said, "You can use this information to your advantage. I'll get back to you with anything else."
As he spoke, he turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared into the air.
Dongfeng Linyuan was left sitting in the study, in a trance.
He forced himself to calm down and think about how to use the information.
…
Dongfeng Linyuan put away his thoughts and recalled what had happened in the Dongfeng family recently.
He had to admit that under Dongfeng Xiyue's governance, the Dongfeng family was strict and orderly, and everything was in good order. He could only get limited information from the head of the family.
I heard that Dongfeng Xiyue walked out of the master's room angrily yesterday.
Although I was unable to find out what was going on in the patriarch's study, it was obvious that the conversation between the patriarch and the young patriarch was not pleasant and there was a sign of a breakup.
But when he saw that the head of the family had not taken any action this morning, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Just when he was getting angrier and angrier and couldn't stand staying in the study any longer, Dongfang Wen appeared at the door of Nanyuan's study.
At that time, Dongfeng Linyuan was walking out angrily. When he saw Dongfeng Wen, his thoughts changed, but the emotions on his face could not be controlled freely, and he was stiff for a moment.
He wanted to put on a smiling face, but unexpectedly his face didn't look like a smile, just the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Brother Wen, why are you here?"
Fortunately, although Dong Fengwen thought his expression was weird, he didn't care too much. After all, the head of the family was planning to use him.
He said, "The master asked me to invite you over."
Dongfeng Linyuan forced himself to suppress his response, straightened his neat robe, and followed Dongfeng Wen away.
When we arrived at the master's study, he didn't seem to want to say much.
"In the coming days, you will handle the affairs of the Dongfeng family first. Let me see what you are capable of."
With a wave of his hand, Dong Fengwen handed him the seal of the young master of the Dongfeng family, some account books and a handful of warehouse keys.
He was delighted and replied respectfully, "Yes."
He took these heavy things, and it seemed as if he had taken over everything of the Dongfeng family.
At this moment, he seemed to be honored, standing on a high place, with people looking up to him below.
For the next period of time, he represented the Dongfeng family outside.
When people outside saw the Dongfeng family's actions, it seemed to confirm Dongfeng Xiyue's unbearable behavior.
The discussions in teahouses and taverns were endless.
"Did you know that the young master of the Dongfeng family has been replaced?"
"Really? It seems like we haven't received any external notice from the Dongfeng family. It's just temporary at most." Cheng Ruicong from the Cheng family, one of the four major families in Suzaku City, said disdainfully.
"Looking at Dongfeng Linyuan's posture, it seems that he has great power."
"It seemed that the Dongfeng family hadn't made any moves, but unexpectedly, the Young Patriarch's power was taken back. Has the Dongfeng family given up on them?"
"So, the previous rumors are all true. I still can't believe it. After all, Dongfeng Xiyue is a famous prodigy in the Cangwu Realm."
Someone sarcastically said, "Isn't he more famous now? Hehehe!"
“I don’t know if she will be kicked out of the Dongfeng family, and I don’t know what it feels like for her to taste like that.”
"I see this brother is drunk. Even if she is kicked out of the house, she is a cultivator in the Spirit Severing stage. What can she have to do to you?" Cheng Ruicong said.
He and Dongfeng Linyuan have always been at odds, even though they were both once playboys in Suzaku City.
Cheng Ruicong is the second child in the Cheng family. He has an older brother, Cheng Ruiming, who is outstanding in both cultivation and management. Although he is also talented, his brilliance is completely overshadowed by his older brother.
This made him dislike the person who was ranked first and was likely to inherit the position of the family head, especially someone like Dongfeng Linyuan who had mediocre cultivation skills.
He didn't want Dongfeng Linyuan to take the position of the young master of the Dongfeng family, otherwise he would be ridiculed and suppressed when they met in the future.
