There was something wrong with my past life

"Bah bang bang!"

In the silent meeting hall, crisp applause suddenly sounded.

Many clan elders turned their heads in surprise, wanting to see who was so rebellious and dared to support Dongfang Qingyue at this time. You must know that the marriage with the Nangong family has been approved by most of the elders in the family. Moreover, the current meeting hall is full of elders who advocate marriage.

Then, these people saw the person sitting there applauding. It was Dongfang Wuwei, the current head of the Dongfang Family, whose temples were stained pale by time.

"Wuwei! What are you doing?!"

The senior one among the clan elders, who was also the former head of the Dongfang Family, immediately reprimanded Dongfang Wuwei, a junior, and was very dissatisfied with his behavior.

Although the soul lamp of the deceased ancestor of the Dongfang Family has been extinguished, unlike the other three major families where all family rights are controlled by the ancestors, the core rights of the Dongfang Family have always been controlled by a group of clan elders, and the head of Dongfang Wuwei is also He only holds a small part of the family power.

As the head of the family, Dongfang Wuwei slowly stood up and looked at the group of highly respected elders in the family in front of him with a calm expression: "As the head of the family, I just think that Qingyue's words are indeed quite reasonable. For a family that has begun to rot from within, any attempt to restore the family to its former glory is just a joke."

"What a bastard!"

If Dongfang Qingyue's previous words had already touched the sore point of these clan elders, then Dongfang Wuwei's words as the current head of the family were just adding fuel to the fire, and they were immediately scolded by the clan elders. .

These clan elders never thought that Dongfang Qingyue, who was usually taciturn and obeyed all the family's arrangements, suddenly lost her mind and chose to disobey. Even Dongfang Wuwei, who had been the head of the family for nearly a hundred years and had always obeyed the decisions of the elders in the family, chose to fall out at this time.

Dongfang Wuwei was not actually called by this name before, but ever since he changed his name, he has always lived up to his name, mediocre and inactive.

Many years ago, there were actually many talented people from the Dongfang family who competed for the position of the new head of the family. Among them, there were many talented and well-educated people. However, the one who finally ascended to the position of head of the family was one of them, both in terms of cultivation and temperament. Dongfang Wuwei appears to be mediocre and inconspicuous.

Rather than saying that he defeated other competitors and ascended the throne of the family head, it is better to say that the clan elders chose him after making a decision and bestowed the position of family head on him.

At the beginning, the reason why the clan elders chose him as the new head of the family was because he was mediocre and incompetent. He would not be like some aggressive competitors who were always thinking about drastic changes in the family. .

And soon after becoming the head of the family, he changed his name to Dongfang Wuwei.

This inaction is naturally the inaction of doing nothing.

In the following decades, just as the clan elders expected, the new head of the family never acted arbitrarily and had no objections to the decisions discussed by the clan elders. This was like this time with the Nangong family. He never stood up to speak out against the marriage and remained silent.

But I didn't expect that at such a time, he would actually stand up and say such treasonous words in public...

The so-called family has rotted from within. Isn't this a direct mockery of the youngest members of the clan?

Dongfang Wuwei looked at the clan elders in front of him calmly. If he was asked to describe his mood at this moment, how could it be a word like "shuang"?

After all, these words have been held in my heart for decades. Now that I can say them in one breath, it feels so good!

Originally, he had thought that these words he was holding in his heart would never be spoken in this life, and would be taken into the grave with him and buried deep under the Nine Springs.

If there was a reason, it was probably because he was awakened by the look in the eyes of the junior Dongfang Qingyue.

Because this look in his eyes looked so much like his old self.

I used to have many ambitions, ideals, and passion, and I thought about restoring the glory of my family in the future. However, these things eventually disappeared without a trace in front of the cold reality.

To put it nicely, it was Dongfang Wuwei who learned to think rationally and realized that the Dongfang family, controlled by this group of self-proclaimed clan elders, had begun to rot from the inside, and any attempt to cure it was a fool's errand.

If something cannot be done, why should it be done?

In this case, it would be better to do nothing...

To put it more harshly, Dongfang Wuwei was timid and did not have the courage to fight, so he chose to retreat, tolerate, and obey.

He actually knew all this in his heart, but he kept pretending that he didn't know anything.

But today, when I saw Dongfang Qingyue, a little girl from the younger generation, she knew that something couldn't be done but she still couldn't pretend that she didn't know anything.

At this moment, he looked at the shining green moon in the east standing under the light, and couldn't help but think of those elders who were willing to sacrifice everything and pave the way for her with their lives more than ten years ago...

I also remembered the relieved smiles on the lips of those clan elders when they expired and died.

That night, Dongfang Wuwei stood alone in front of the tombstones of these clan elders, looking at the names on the tombstones, and remained silent for a long night.

Because these clan elders are the last remaining light among the many clan elders who are greedy for life and afraid of death in the Dongfang family that is currently in turmoil. They are willing to sacrifice everything for a seemingly illusory goal, so that the family can regain its life in another way.

The so-called living towards death is probably like this.

But now, the last light has been extinguished...

Originally, Dongfang Wuwei thought so.

But not long ago, the dazzling light he saw again rekindled in Dongfang Qingyue.

So, he laughed and clapped, almost crying.

In an instant, he understood a lot of things and figured out a lot of things.

If you know something can't be done but don't do it, then the thing will never be done. Only if someone does something that can't be done first, can it be possible to create something that can be done.

Therefore, he stood up for the first time in his life.

"A bunch of old immortals..."

Looking at the clan elders in front of him, Dongfang Wuwei said.

As if he was afraid that they didn't hear clearly, he repeated it again with a louder voice: "I'm talking about you, a bunch of old idiots!"

The whole hall was silent.

Everyone stared at the current head of the family with frost-white temples in stunned silence. They never expected that he would say "silly x" in public, an extremely vulgar word that was widely circulated in the secular world.

Because this reality is completely different from his identity and the calm image he displays.

"It's so damn comfortable! I've long wanted to scold you old fools to death. I have to have a good time today! Ah bah!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Dongfang Wuwei spat on the ground, and then spoke fearlessly.

He doesn't look like an old man who has been the head of the family for many years. He looks exactly like the kind of little scoundrel who hangs out on the streets.

So there is a saying that goes well, if you don’t break out in silence, you will die in silence, and now this old man broke out.

"Whether you agree or not, I must leave today!"

On the other side, Dongfang Qingyue, who had been silent, also walked towards the outside of the meeting hall.

"Catch these two!"

The leader of the clan also reacted and took the lead in giving orders.

"Yes! Let Dongfang Wuwei be kicked out of the family as the head of the family and thrown into prison for punishment! As for Dongfang Qingyue, after catching her, just use the Lost Soul Curse to make her obey and get married smoothly!" Another clan elder also said.

The so-called Lost Soul Curse is a technique that can make people lose their sense of autonomy and act like a puppet at the mercy of others. It seems that this time the two sides are completely at odds.

Immediately, several clan elders with advanced cultivation levels stood in front of Dongfang Qingyue and wanted to capture him.

Dongfang Qingyue stopped, looked at the blocker in front of him, and then slowly drew out the Qingyue Divine Sword from his waist.

"Anyone who stops me will die!"

She turned to him and said coldly.

Perhaps it was because she used to live in Jianfeng when she was young and was with the sword master as her master. Today, after the sword master passed away, as a disciple, she even speaks like the sword master in the past.

But these words seemed extremely ridiculous to others.

Everyone knows that Dongfang Qingyue's cultivation level can only give a glimpse of the Nascent Soul realm. There are several elders in the field who are in the Dao realm. There is absolutely no chance of defeating him. The death of the so-called blocker is just a joke. That’s all.

However, at this moment, between Dongfang Qingyue's eyebrows, the green lotus mark that was born with her when she was born suddenly shines brightly.

The phantom of a flawless green lotus, with a strange and simple grand power, appeared in her body. Even the surrounding void could not withstand such power, and the space seemed to be shattered inch by inch.

What is even more frightening is that Dongfang Qingyue's own cultivation level is also rising steadily. In an instant, he has entered the realm of inquiry, and is still rising endlessly.

Moreover, it seemed that she had broken through some inner shackles of cultivation, and the Qingyue Divine Sword in her hand seemed to come to life. The sword spirit around her was so awe-inspiring that the sword's light shot into the sky, making the sun eclipse under the blue sky.

"What kind of monster are you?"

An elder was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. He backed away in fear. He had never seen such a weird thing in this world. He could reach several cultivation levels in an instant and reach the peak in an instant.

Moreover, this kind of sword intention is truly terrifying, just like the man who is called the sword master in the world is still alive.

Dongfang Qingyue ignored this person, but looked down at the Qingyue Divine Sword in her palm, and whispered to herself: "Is this... the clear heart of the sword that Master once said?"

Ever since she made this decision today and said those words, she had already vaguely felt that when she made the decision, it was as if a certain mental barrier had been broken, and her whole person had regained a new lease of life and became comfortable.

As for this green lotus, she didn't know why.

Ever since the master struck out that shocking sword that night, causing changes in the world, she saw this green lotus in her dream that night.

Although she had dreamed of this green lotus before, it had never been as clear as last night. It seemed that she could touch it easily. She even had some strange illusions, as if this green lotus was closely connected to her, just like herself. .

But...none of that matters now.

The important thing is that she can get out of here and find her sweetheart.
