The three of them sat at the table, and Gu Liyue signaled Xuanhuo that he could speak.

"In the Cangwu Realm, the people who know about your relationship are basically our own people. It won't do them any good if it gets out, and they don't bother to spread such rumors."

Gu Liyue thought about it and felt that no, the person who knew the relationship between her and Dongfeng Xiyue best must be Sang Lin.

"And Sang Lin."

Xuanhuo nodded and said, "Yes, that devil was indeed behind this."

Gu Liyue said, "I didn't expect that after being severely injured by you and the ancestor last time, he still had the energy to stir up trouble, and even brought it to the cultivator's city."

She paused and said, "Tell me, who did he cooperate with? Who from the Dongfeng family?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that spreading rumors is the work of those wealthy families. A powerful evil spirit like Sang Lin would never do such a thing.

Xuanhuo had to admire Gu Liyue's intelligence, as what she guessed was exactly the same as the truth.

Just as he was about to answer, he heard Gu Liyue say, "I guess it's Dongfeng Linyuan!"

Xuanhuo widened his eyes and asked, "How do you know?"

"Because he's the one who benefited from this." Gu Liyue asked again: "Do you have any evidence?"

Xuanhuo was annoyed: "There is no evidence that can be put on the table. I found the scent left by the evil spirit in his study. Their meeting must have taken place in his study."

"How blatant! Wasn't Sang Lin seriously injured? How could he have evaded the Dongfeng family's defenses?" Gu Liyue asked curiously, "Are the Dongfeng family's defenses really that weak?"

Xuanhuo said: "Sang Lin's cultivation is unfathomable. Although he is injured, he should have a magic weapon on him that can cover his aura. The defense of the Dongfeng family is like entering an empty space for me."

Gu Liyue: "..."

I didn't expect that the strength of the top families in Cangwu Realm would be so vulnerable in front of these big guys.

She sighed and was glad that she had the two divine beasts, Xuanhuo and Qingxiao, by her side.

I think the direction my mother is looking for is correct.

She said, "I'll send a message to my mother and see if she needs any help."

After listening to their conversation, Aunt Yu realized that it was Dongfeng Xiyue's eldest brother who had plotted against her. She was indignant and said, "What a despicable person! He even tricked his own little sister and said such harsh words."

"Some people will not care about brotherhood for the sake of profit."

During the few days Gu Liyue had been in Suzaku City, rumors circulated about Dongfeng Linyuan becoming the Young Master of the Dongfeng Family and his effective management skills. He was constantly praised as a worthy Young Master. There were also many attempts to build momentum for him to take power.

Dongfeng Linyuan was very satisfied with the commotion outside. Although he felt that managing the affairs of the Dongfeng family was tedious and boring, and it delayed his own cultivation, the feeling of being honored was very good.

A few days later, he heard that Dongfeng Xiyue met with the master in his study again, and Dongfeng Xiyue's face was as dark as ink when he walked out of the study afterwards.

He thought to himself, this is a good thing for him!

The thing is, Dongfeng Xiyue took the initiative to ask to see the head of the family. The head of the family thought that she came to him to surrender, and he couldn't help but feel proud of his judgment.

So what if she has a stubborn temper? She can still see her situation clearly. Although it is many days later than she expected, it is late but it has arrived!

He was going to temper her temper. It was absolutely impossible for her to interfere in the family affairs as soon as she gave in. Although Dongfeng Linyuan was not as good as Xiyue in this position, he could still do a passable job.

Some things still require him as the head of the family to take the lead. As the temporary young head of the family, he is still satisfied with Dongfeng Linyuan.

When Dongfeng Xiyue takes over in the future, he won't have to keep an eye on it all the time and can concentrate on practicing again.

He never intended to replace the young master of the family. He just felt that she was too disobedient and wanted to control her.

He sat behind his desk, straightening his collar. He planned to enjoy the process of controlling this extremely stubborn female cultivator. Unlike the two previous times he met Dongfeng Xiyue, he was in a very good mood today.

After hearing Dong Fengwen's announcement, he deliberately made Dong Fengxiyue wait at the door of the study for a while before instructing Dong Fengwen, "Go and call the Second Young Lady in!"

Although Dongfeng Xiyue's position as the young master of the family has not been removed, he still calls her the Second Miss.

Dong Fengwen raised his eyelids and glanced at the master. He walked to the door of the study and said, "Master, please let the second young lady in."

Dongfeng Xiyue, who had been standing at the door of the study for a while, responded and walked into the study calmly.

She saluted, and the head of the Dongfeng family looked at his young master and waved his hand for her to stand up.

"I wonder why you came here today?"

Dongfeng Xiyue said calmly, "Master, I see that my eldest brother has been having trouble getting things done outside recently because his name is not right and his words are not in order."

The Dongfeng family head felt amused in his heart. Sure enough, he went straight for the position of young family head as soon as he arrived.

It just made people feel that her excuse was too far-fetched, but he still cooperated with her and said, "Oh, in your opinion, what should we do then?"

Xiyue said seriously: "The title of Young Patriarch is of little use to me now, so why not let my eldest brother be the Young Patriarch!"

The Dongfeng family's eyes sharpened, and he thought: Is Xiyue playing hard to get? Isn't she afraid that I will take advantage of the situation?

While observing Dongfeng Xiyue's reaction, the Dongfeng Patriarch said, "Since that's the case, then give the title of Young Patriarch to Dongfeng Linyuan! From now on, you are no longer the Young Patriarch."

He waited for Dongfeng Xiyue to refute him, but instead he watched her say goodbye and leave.

So, this wasn't just her playing hard to get; she genuinely didn't want to be the Young Master anymore? But why? He was still thinking about getting out of the Dongfeng family's chores as soon as possible and spending his days cultivating.

He originally wanted to enjoy the process of controlling her, but why didn't it happen? His face couldn't be any darker.

None of them are worry-free.

He thought about it with regret, then angrily ordered Dongfeng Wen, "From now on, Dongfeng Xiyue is no longer the Young Master of the Dongfeng Family. The Young Master is now Dongfeng Linyuan. Make a public announcement about this and inform the entire city."

Seeing Dong Fengwen about to turn around and leave, he shouted again: "First notify the Dongfeng family and the whole city to hold off for now."

Dong Fengwen glanced at the head of the Dongfeng family. He found that he was becoming less and less able to understand the head of the family. What was going on?

Of course, he only dared to complain in his heart, but on the surface he still carried out his mission respectfully.

For Dongfeng Linyuan, today is a good day because the head of the family finally announced that he is the young head of the family. Although it was only announced within the Dongfeng family, he is very satisfied now.

The Dongfeng family also held a family dinner for this purpose.

At the dinner, when the head of the family announced that he would give up the position of young master of the family to Dongfeng Xiyue and let Dongfeng Linyuan become the young master of the family.

He saw Dongfeng Xiyue's intriguing gaze, and also saw his second brother Dongfeng Linfeng's jealous but aggrieved look that he dared not say out loud.

The third brother looked indifferent, perhaps he was not interested in this position.

He was in a great mood.
