Chapter Forty-six Conspiracy

  Dongfang Lei looked at the envious expressions of the younger generation around him, and sneered in his heart, "Foolish people who don't know how to take advantage of opportunities, now you're just realizing your envy, it's too late." He waved his hand, brushed off some dust from his clothes, and slowly walked towards Guo Ming, standing three feet away from him. With a faint smile, he said, "It's still not too late to admit defeat."

  He pretended to be calm, letting everyone see that he didn't take this fight seriously. Now winning a reputation for the Dong family is equivalent to adding a guarantee for his own future prospects, which he deeply understands. Guo Ming also clearly understood, and after calming down, he began to think about the next issue.

  It's extremely unwise to confront the Ye family head-on, and one wouldn't be foolish enough to take on a large family like that unless they had similar backing themselves. The purpose of speaking loudly at first was to make the Dongfang family wary, making them think that he had a powerful background supporting him; otherwise, Dongfang He would never have allowed his own grandson to confront him.

  The relationship between the two parties should not be too stiff, otherwise once the old guy gets angry and takes action against himself, forcing his own elders to come forward, everything will be over. Guo Ming is still far from being arrogant enough to confront a generation of family masters. Guo Ming's current strength is four-star, if he uses all his means, he can compete with five-star young masters, but this old guy looks like six-star, and if he runs away, he can run, but if he resists, there is no other way except defeat.

  Guo Ming shook his head and said: "The current problem is not this, what you are concerned about is also not this."

  "Hey kid, what are you talking about? Dongfang Lei was furious at Guo Ming's irrelevant answer and shouted loudly."

  "Fool! When it comes to the life and death of Ming in the water, Dongfang Jian couldn't help but sneer."

  Humiliated in public, Dongfang Lei felt his face burning with shame. He glared fiercely at Dongfang Jian and turned back to say, "Just fight if you're going to, what's the point of spouting all this nonsense?"

  This kid is clearly blinded by his utilitarian desire to show off, doesn't he even know how to look at the master's eyes? Guo Ming smiled helplessly, facing this idiotic opponent, and didn't know if it was a kind of sadness.

  Dongfang He's face showed a hint of disappointment when Dongfang Jian spoke sarcastically to Dongfang Lei, and now that he heard the other person say something like this, his voice was low and solemn as he said, "Lei'er, step down."

  Dongfang Lei sensed a hint of dissatisfaction in the master's tone and immediately woke up, retreating respectfully behind Dongfang He.

  Dongfang He gazed at Guo Ming, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light, but his face showed no unusual color as he said calmly, "What suggestions do you have?"

  "A celebrity doesn't speak in riddles, your goal is set on Meng Yao, I don't believe you'll really drive her father to death, time is running out, are you going to drag it out again?" Guo Ming said coldly.

  Dongfang Lei's eyes flashed with surprise, then he looked back at Dongfang Lei and shook his head slightly, saying in a low voice: "What you said is not wrong, but all of this was disrupted because of your appearance. If you leave now, I will go to rescue immediately." Dongfang He's plan was simple, using Shui Ming's life to force Shui Meng Yao to surrender. People who had never learned martial arts could not understand the infatuation with martial arts for ordinary people. Once Shui Meng Yao learned the Fa Jue, she would be trapped in it, and others would use their relationships to plot against her gradually, and Shui Meng Yao would certainly serve the family. But all of this was derailed because of Guo Ming's appearance.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo heard a glimmer of hope from the Eastern Crane's words and hastily stood up, filled with hope: "You can save my dad."

  "Watch your words, I am your grandfather," Dongfang He said sternly. The person who had been calling the shots in the Dongfang family was now being addressed by his own granddaughter as "you", rather than with a formal title, and this made the proud Dongfang He feel a surge of resentment.

  Shui Mengyao's expression suddenly changed, and she burst into a loud roar, pointing at Dongfang He: "Are you worthy of being my grandfather? I, Shui Mengyao, will never acknowledge your identity. Maybe you think you have great power, but that's the business of the Dongfang family, it has nothing to do with the Shui family. If you want to save my father, then go ahead and save him, don't use this matter to threaten me." Shui Mengyao was gentle on the outside but firm on the inside, her father's unexpected injury had already driven her mind into chaos, if it wasn't for Guo Ming's appearance, who knows what she would have done. Now Dongfang He was using this matter to threaten her again, and she naturally couldn't keep her composure anymore.

  The Eastern Crane was furious and his large palm was about to come down, but the Eastern Sword hastily stepped forward and said: "Grandfather, please spare her, Dream Yao is a Xuan Yin body after all." No matter what, Shui Meng Yao was someone else's rare woman, such a delicate and lovely girl like her, Dongfang Jian naturally couldn't bear to see her die in front of him.

  Guo Ming's face turned cold, his body flashed strangely, and in an instant he was standing in front of Shui Mengyao. His eyes shot out a shocking light, and the strong fighting spirit on his body tightly locked onto Dongfang He. As long as the opponent's big hand pressed down, Guo Ming would definitely explode with endless divine power to counterattack. Shui Mengyao was his first love, he wouldn't allow her to suffer even the slightest harm. If it weren't for his inferior strength, Guo Ming would have struck directly when he came, and what was the point of talking about propriety and morality? All of this was based on the foundation of strength.

  The atmosphere in the field suddenly became oppressive, a feeling of impending doom that left everyone almost breathless. Almost all the young masters of the Eastern World's aristocratic families looked at Guo Ming with shocked faces, this youth who they had thought was not too powerful just now, yet he stood unflinchingly in front of the family head, even daring to openly defy him, who exactly was he? And what kind of astonishing abilities did he possess?

  The Eastern Crane's eyes narrowed, and his gaze finally took Guo Ming seriously. Earlier, Guo Ming might have only caught his attention, but now he had to reevaluate him. The opponent's identity was a mystery, and even with his own mid-six-star strength, he couldn't see through his true power. Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to think that his strength surpassed his own - that was impossible. Even the Martial Saint of back then couldn't reach seven stars at this age, right? And the Martial Saint was a legendary figure, who would dare say they could surpass him? Yet the young man in front of him shouldn't be underestimated either; he must have some unknown quirk that allowed him to evade his aura's probing.

  Facing a six-star strongman, he remained calm and composed, responding with ease. Dongfang He had no doubt that if he were to press down his massive hand, he would inevitably suffer a frenzied counterattack from the opponent. While he himself was not afraid, everything around him would certainly be destroyed in a terrifying manner. The martial arts world has its own rules, and although he had boasted of challenging the law, he wouldn't expose all his secrets to so many students. Rumors can spread quickly, and the saying "three people make a tiger" is often true; if something unimaginable were to happen as a result, it would be disastrous.
