Chapter 2706 Reasons and Observations
Han Chengye, as the third elder of the Han family, is naturally powerful and has great power in the family.
Therefore, he naturally had a clearer understanding of many things about the Han and Ouyang families.
Regarding the Qian family's expedition this time, in fact, when the Han family was invited, they discussed and came up with the idea of weakening the Ouyang family's strength during the family meeting.
After all, the Han family had long received news that Ouyang Jing had handed over all the power of the family patriarch to his daughter Ouyang Ruoxi, and then went into seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough. They actually found this news very difficult to accept.
Although the Ouyang family and the Han family are both martial arts families that belong to the Northwest, in terms of geographical location, both families are closer to the northwest. So in fact, in many places, they overlap with the Ouyang family in various things, and naturally there is competition.
Normally, the two families would get along well on the surface, but they would fight with each other secretly.
So when the Han family heard that Ouyang Jing was in seclusion and advancing to the Xiantian realm, they naturally did not want him to succeed. However, they could not interfere in such matters, because after Ouyang Jing's seclusion, the Ouyang family withdrew all affairs and waited for Ouyang Jing's seclusion to end.
Therefore, even if the Han family wanted to find something, they couldn't find it. Moreover, in many local businesses, the Ouyang family did not compete with the Han family and withdrew from them. However, this made the Han family cautious and did not dare to go too far.
What if Ouyang Jing successfully advances to a congenital master after his retreat? Then he finds the Han family to suppress and swallow up the interests of the Ouyang family. Wouldn't that mean the Han family will be liquidated at that time?
Therefore, Ouyang Jing could not succeed in his retreat. In addition, even if he could not intervene, he would still consume the resources of the Ouyang family.
Unexpectedly, the Qian family's invitation to explore gave the Han family a glimmer of opportunity, so they thought of stopping the Ouyang family's event from happening.
Not only do we have to stop the Ouyang family on the road, it would be best if we could make them lose some manpower, and it would be best if we don't let them participate in the expedition.
After all, this expedition involves some advanced innate treasures. If the Ouyang family gets them, wouldn’t that increase the strength of the Ouyang family?
But they didn't expect that the blocking was unsuccessful, and this happened twice. In addition, the temporary change of the leader of the Ouyang family also caught the Han family off guard. They originally thought that Ouyang Ruoxi, a girl with the strength of the sixth level of the acquired realm, would definitely make them unable to return when leading the team.
But they didn't expect that it would be Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Min, both of whom were post-natal tenth-level warriors. So for a while, the blocking mission naturally failed.
Because of this, the matter of defrauding the Ouyang family fell into Han Chengye's hands.
This is also the origin of the hint of hostility in Han Chengye's eyes after meeting Ouyang Nan.
The group moved towards the base. When Ouyang Nan heard Han Chengye mention the Zhou family, a relatively unfamiliar family, he became thoughtful. Could it be that the ones who attacked our convoy were this Zhou family?
Of course, this is just her inference. In the absence of any clues, it is just a suspicion.
Besides, although she had heard of the Zhou family before, she didn't know much about them. After all, one was a northwest family and the other was a southwest family, thousands of kilometers away. The Han family was actually related to the southwest Zhou family by marriage, which was a good card to spread the relationship so far.
In fact, the Ouyang family and the Han family were originally related by marriage. If Ouyang Jing had not opposed it, Ouyang Ruoxi would have almost married into the Han family. The network of relationships is really like a spider web, with relationships everywhere.
However, Ouyang Nan also yearns for such a relationship, and feels that it would be better if his own family could be like this.
Fortunately, several families in the northwest are almost all related by marriage, so they can take care of each other.
Because of this, Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Min did not notice the slightest hostility in Han Weicheng's eyes.
Thinking about the fact that the Ma family, the Qian family, and the Zhou family all have innate masters, while the Han family and my own family do not have any innate masters, then in this meeting, my family may just be there to make up the numbers.
Even thinking about the future exploration, his family might be marginalized by the other three or even four families, because the Han family and the Zhou family are related by marriage, so they will naturally be taken care of. Or, if the other families unite and make their warriors consumables, what should he do?
For a moment, Ouyang Nan had a lot of thoughts. Fortunately, he thought that the people he brought this time were almost all the direct descendants of the Third Elder, so if he lost some people, it would not be a big deal. Anyway, these were all strategies that had been decided long ago.
However, these people are all descendants of the Ouyang family after all. The power of these descendants is consumed, but the benefits go to the other families, which makes them feel helpless.
While having a headache, I thought of my niece who appointed me as the escort before leaving, but she was kissing me and being intimate with that man named Li Mo. I felt helpless and angry.
If they lose too many people in this expedition, how will they report to the family when they return? In addition, what if they don't gain anything this time? After walking for a while, they arrived at a place with many tents. Han Chengye pointed to the tent area and said, "This is a temporary rest area built for your Ouyang family. You should hurry up and arrange the people, and then follow me to meet the leader."
Unexpectedly, he did not receive any response to his words. He looked sideways and found that Ouyang Nan was looking forward without any response. It seemed that this girl was not thinking about this.
He was already over a hundred years old, so there was nothing wrong with him calling Ouyang Nan a girl. Seeing Ouyang Nan's situation, she understood what she had just said, which might have made her guess that the situation facing the Ouyang family was not very good.
But from the bottom of his heart, he had to leave the Ouyang family here for this expedition. At most, he would let one of them go back to report the news. He even thought that it would be best to leave Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Min here.
Thinking that the Ouyang family was supposed to lead the team this time, it was Ouyang Ruoxi who was going to trick that girl. But they didn't expect the Ouyang family to make a temporary change. It was good that both Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Min were tenth-level warriors, and their cultivation talents were not bad, otherwise they wouldn't have been tenth-level warriors in their fifties.
In that case, it would be nice if both of them were killed in the expedition.
Then he smiled slightly and called out to Ouyang Nan a few more times. When she came back to her senses, he repeated what he had just said. He naturally didn't care about Ouyang Nan's rudeness. After all, they were both about to die, so why bother about so much?
Little did he know that his expression had long been seen clearly by Chen Mo, who was following behind him, using his spiritual sense, and he naturally paid attention to this old guy. Looking at Ouyang Ruoxi's expression, he found that she was not paying attention to Han Chengye, so he pulled her hand and whispered, "Pay more attention to that old man Han, there is something wrong."
Ouyang Ruoxi was a little surprised after hearing what Chen Mo said, but she didn't show it. Instead, she nodded slightly and then paid attention. She couldn't transmit sound. This kind of skill requires innate talent, and acquired martial artists can't do it.
Even if a martial artist learns it after birth, they still need to use other techniques or special abilities to achieve the skill of transmitting sound into secrets. But it is different for the innate. They can transmit sound into secrets naturally by using the power of heaven and earth.
For Chen Mo, it was easy, and he could also transmit sound more advancedly, directly using his spiritual consciousness to transmit sound into other people's sea of consciousness. However, he had not used this ability yet. After all, using spiritual consciousness to invade other people's sea of consciousness to transmit sound would definitely arouse others' defense. The importance of spiritual sea of consciousness was clear to even warriors, let alone cultivators?
After Chen Mo's reminder, Ouyang Ruoxi followed behind the team and quietly observed Han Chengye. She even walked to the side and back intentionally or unintentionally to observe him from a distance.
She knew that Chen Mo would not look for trouble, and with his strength, he would naturally be able to find more things wrong. Therefore, she wanted to see what was wrong with Han Chengye.
As expected, she found that Han Chengye gave her an inexplicable feeling after following him all the way. He was smiling, but when she looked closely, it seemed a little fake. Considering the relationship between the Han family and the Ouyang family, he should not have such a strange expression.
But because it was night, in this desolate Gobi Desert, the night was already very dark, and the flashlight used for lighting and the back lights near the tent could not illuminate Han Chengye's face clearly, so she had no way to use her spiritual sense to see Han Chengye's expression clearly like Chen Mo did. She could only use her eyes to distinguish some of Han Chengye's movements and expressions.
After hearing the conversation between Ouyang Nan and Han Chengye, she turned to look at Chen Mo with a questioning look on her face.
Chen Mo shook his head, but did not explain. Instead, he sent a voice message again: "Observe more first. You can't see anything for now. When we go on an expedition, you will be able to see something after a long time. However, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. You should remind our aunt to be careful."
Ouyang Ruoxi's face suddenly turned red. Even in the dark, with the help of the light, one could see her red cheeks. She rolled her eyes at Chen Mo and said, "That's my aunt."
"It's mine too." Chen Mo added.
"Bad guy!" Ouyang Ruoxi had no choice but to despise Chen Mo, but she was happy in her heart.
Sometimes, I like things that cannot be concealed, just like now, the corners of Ouyang Ruoxi's eyes, even with the disguise mask covering them, can still be seen full of spring.
Chen Mo smiled slightly and held the hand tighter, making Ouyang Ruoxi's cheeks even redder.
The two of them kissed each other, but did not interfere with Ouyang Nan's arrangements.
After hearing Han Chengye's words, she arranged for Ouyang Min to lead the Ouyang family members to enter the tent area to rest. She then took two other ninth-level acquired masters of the Ouyang family and went to meet the team leader with Han Chengye.
After all, Qian Ying of the Qian family was a master she had heard of since she was a child, but she had never had the chance to meet him. Since she had the opportunity this time, she naturally had to go and visit him in person. It was not only a matter of courtesy, but also a wish she had since childhood.
