Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

Murong Hou's words surprised everyone, and then various reactions appeared on everyone's face.

There are surprises, doubts, questions, joy, and fear.

But no matter what their expressions were, almost everyone had the same thought in their minds:

"It looks like things are going to change a lot."

Someone asked curiously: "Excuse me, clan leader, is it true that the eldest lady and the holy son have returned safely?"

Murong Hou snorted, confidence returned to his face again. He glanced at the man indifferently and said coldly: "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

The man quickly said "I don't dare", but he was basically convinced in his heart.

This clan leader has this problem, and it is easy for villains to get their way. It's just that my dear daughter has returned safely, and she actually poses like a master.

But until this time, almost everyone had not connected the "future son-in-law" mentioned by Murong Hou with Tang Fei. Because in many people's minds, Tang Fei is already a thing of the past.

At the request of the clan leader, the members of the Murong family immediately received Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian with the highest treatment. Tang Fei didn't think anything of it. When he was the Holy Son, this kind of treatment was common. It was Murong Pianpian who felt a little awkward, because this place was obviously her home, but she felt like she was being treated as an outsider.

She was not happy at all, but a little sad.

Tang Fei saw Murong Pianpian's thoughts, but he didn't say anything. There are some things that she has to adapt to in advance, and others can't help her.

Qiao Yan and other Tiangang Sword Sect disciples also received warm reception.

Not long after, Murong Hou led a group of tribesmen to the lobby and met Tang Fei and others. Except for Murong Hou, everyone else could not help but open their mouths when they saw Tang Fei.

Why is it him?

Murong Hou did not look surprised. Instead, he smiled and said to Tang Fei, "My future uncle has been here for many years, right? When I see you today, my nephew Tang is even more charming than before. I'm really happy and congratulated!"

Tang Fei stood up, bowed his hands respectfully to Marquis Murong, and said, "Uncle Murong is too complimentary. My nephew was so involved in worldly affairs that he couldn't spare the time to visit my uncle. I hope your uncle won't be surprised."

Murong Hou nodded with satisfaction, waved his hands and said, "Easy to say, easy to say!"

Previously, the Murong family couldn't wait to terminate the engagement between Murong Pianpian and Tang Fei after Tang Fei's cultivation was deposed. Although this was mainly done for the purpose of self-protection, now that Tang Fei, the suffering master, appeared in front of them, the Murong family I still feel a little ashamed. Fortunately, Tang Fei didn't seem to be serious about this matter, which made Murong Hou feel relieved.

But when the other tribesmen saw this scene, their hopes that had surged were dashed again.

Why is it you, Tang Fei, who is here? Where is Liang Wei? Where did Liang Wei go?

Liang Wei is the great elder's personal disciple. Although his qualifications are not as good as those of Tang Fei, he has a big backer! If Liang Wei and Murong Pianpian can do good things, maybe the Murong family can successfully escape the current disaster, and maybe even reach a higher level.

But now it is Tang Fei who appears here, so Liang Wei is in danger. If Liang Wei dies, then the only connection between the Murong family and the First Elder will be completely severed.

But some people think a little more. It doesn't matter that Liang Wei is dead, isn't Murong Pianpian still alive? Murong Pianpian has outstanding qualifications, which are rare among the younger generation. The Great Elder could definitely accept another direct disciple and then marry Murong Pianpian to that person. In this way, Murong Pianpian is still on the other side of the First Elder, and the First Elder can still treat the Murong family differently.

Thinking of this, some people looked at Tang Fei with a somewhat unkind look.

This guy is really an eyesore!

Tang Fei noticed other people's gazes, but he just pretended that he didn't see it and kept talking and laughing with Murong Hou. He first briefly introduced Qiao Yan and others to Murong Hou, and then said: "In addition to visiting Uncle Murong, this junior came here mainly to report that he is safe. After all, Junior Sister Murong was trapped in Qiankun Palace for many days. , I think you must be thinking about it very much, right?”

Of course Tang Fei didn't come here to report that he was safe. But there are so many people talking now, so he can only say this. However, he first introduced Qiao Yan and others to everyone, which was equivalent to telling everyone that he had the support of the Tiangang Sword Sect behind him. With the Tiangang Sword Sect as a backer, no matter how powerful the Great Elder is, there is no way he can take action against him.

Sure enough, after listening to Tang Fei's introduction, the eyes of Murong Hou and others looking at Qiao Yan and Tang Fei suddenly changed. Some members of the Murong family who were originally very cold became even more eager to look at Tang Fei.

Murong Pianpian felt sick when she saw the change in everyone's eyes.

I really can't believe that these people who follow others' influence are actually the same tribesmen that I have been trying my best to protect even though I have to compromise.

She suddenly lost interest and didn't even want to listen to the conversation between Tang Fei and his father.

Murong Hou was also a smart man, so he knew that Tang Fei didn't come here just to chat with him. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "My nephew and all the Tiangang Sword Sect disciples have come a long way. They must be very tired, right? If you don't dislike it, please allow us to take care of you!"

Tang Fei immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "If so, it will trouble uncle."

"No trouble, no trouble!" Murong Hou smiled.

Whether it is the Ziqing Holy Land or the Tiangang Sword Sect, the Murong family is the kind of person who must be fawned over if they have the opportunity, so the specifications of this reception feast are naturally arranged at the highest level. At the banquet, everyone drank and exchanged glasses, changing glasses, creating a scene of great joy.

Tang Fei and the disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect all looked polite and polite, fully demonstrating the dignity of the famous sect. But Murong Pianpian had a cold face and a look of lack of interest, as if she was not at all interested in what was happening in front of her.

She was clearly in her own home, but she felt more like an outsider.

Murong Hou was very enthusiastic towards Tang Fei. From the looks of it, he really seemed to be entertaining his future son-in-law. He completely forgot that the engagement between Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian had been cancelled, and he did not show any embarrassment at all. As for the other members of the Murong family, they were insinuating themselves against the disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect, hoping to find out what the relationship between Tang Fei and the Tiangang Sword Sect was.

In this regard, the disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect did not directly answer this question, but Qiao Yan always showed his admiration for Tang Fei and his head's appreciation for him, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. He seemed to have said a lot of nonsense, but no one here was a fool, and they could certainly hear the hidden meaning in his words.

So some people who were originally thinking about advising the clan leader to quietly kill Tang Fei and then dedicate Murong Pianpian to the elder began to change their minds.

Perhaps, supporting Tang Fei is a better choice.

Such a reception banquet ended amidst various temptations and hints.

After the reception banquet, Murong Hou arranged a room for Tang Fei and others to rest. He seemed to have unintentionally arranged Tang Fei's room next to Murong Pianpian's boudoir, and the intention was self-evident.

After Murong Pianpian returned to her room, she locked the door. When she returned home this time, she felt very depressed. The warm feeling before was completely gone, leaving only the intrigue and indifference.

This made her feel disappointed and sad.

Just when she was lying on the bed and was so sad that she wanted to cry, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Murong Pianpian said in a sullen voice: "Who is it? I'm going to bed. Let's talk about anything tomorrow!"

After the knocking on the door stopped for a moment, a faint sigh came from outside the door. It was none other than her father, Murong Hou, the patriarch of the Murong family.

Just listen to Murong Hou whisper: "Pianpian, are you still blaming your father?"

Murong Pianpian snorted coldly and said in a sinister tone: "How can a daughter dare to blame her father? After all, the daughter is a member of the Murong family and will eventually devote herself to the family. As for the daughter's happiness, it is not important at all!"

She said "it's not strange", but in fact she felt extremely wronged. She had the urge to burst into tears when she thought that ever since Tang Fei was deposed, she had been used by the family as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits and pushed towards the great elder.

Murong Hou smiled bitterly and said: "Pianpian, father has no choice. Since the Holy Lord went into seclusion, the situation of our Murong family has been getting worse and worse. For the continuation of the family, father has to take this step."

Murong Pianpian said angrily: "Then what else do you say to me? I can't be my own master anyway! Just say it straight, what do you want me to do now? Do you want me to recommend myself to my senior brother?"

Murong Pianpian was not stupid, and of course she understood Murong Hou's intention of arranging Tang Fei's room next to hers.

In the final analysis, I am still a bargaining chip.

Murong Hou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when his daughter called him out on his plans. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Pianpian, father wants to ask you, how do you feel about Tang Fei?"

Murong Pianpian frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to ask? If you have something to say, you might as well just say it!"

Murong Hou could only sigh and said: "Pianpian, I'm telling you the truth. Ever since the first elder and the second elder fought in the Purple Purity Holy Land, the situation of our Murong family has become extremely dangerous. The first elder may send people to attack us Murong at any time. The family is taking action, so we must find a backer we can rely on as soon as possible. Pianpian, I know that I have wronged you by doing this, but father, please help me for the sake of the lives of more than a thousand members of the Murong family. Family! Father, please!”

As he said that, Murong Pianpian heard a "plop" from outside the door. Murong Pianpian was startled, and quickly stood up and opened the door, only to see Murong Hou kneeling in front of his door.

Murong Pianpian stared at her father dumbfounded, and the last trace of expectation in her heart had disappeared.

After she was silent for a long time, she nodded slowly and said, "I understand, father."

With that said, she closed the door again.
