Unexpectedly, the inside looks bigger than the castle that looks outside.
Dongfang Bupo heard this and immediately said, "I have seen all elders."
After the fire was completely clear, several old men suddenly appeared in the attic of the second floor of the castle. Their white hair was blocking their faces, and they couldn't see their appearance clearly. Moreover, they were covered with blue cloth shirts. No matter how they looked, they were all dressed like beggars. If they weren't standing here, they would really look like a group of beggars.
Dongfang Bupo looked at the old men who seemed to be disheveled, his eyes full of awe and uneasiness.
Dongfang Bupo said, "Elders, I have something to discuss with you today. I hope I can discuss it with you."
One of the old men who took the lead stepped forward and said, "Okay, just tell me if you have anything."
So Dongfang Bupo stood there without any slacking off and said, "Great Elder, that's it. I mentioned it to several elders a long time ago that our family has always had a behind-the-scenes boss. This time he gave me a task to find a jade pendant for three months. If he didn't find it in three months, he would destroy our family. Now two and a half months have passed, which means we only have half a month left."
When several elders heard this, they all started whispering there, not knowing what they were saying.
The elder said: "Why didn't you tell us earlier about such an important thing? Since its establishment, our Dongfang family has a history of hundreds of years. I never knew there was a boss behind the scenes, or something. You said he would destroy the Dongfang family. I don't believe that he has such strong strength. He is really a arrogant maniac."
Seeing that several elders did not believe in him, Dongfang Bupo continued to explain: "I know that all elders are strong, but his strength is still above several elders. When I was willing to promise the Dongfang family to be his internal family, he promised that as long as the Dongfang family was in danger, he would rescue him in the future. However, when he needed to use our family, we must not refuse, otherwise we would be retaliated by him. At that time, I thought he was strong, so I agreed. Moreover, our family has been smooth sailing over the past few years, thanks to his help, so we must help him find the jade pendant this time, otherwise our Dongfang family will not be protected."
When several elders heard this, they stopped whispering. The elder said, "Why have you never mentioned this in the past few years, and we don't know at all. Now there is a boss behind the scenes. I have discussed this matter with several other elders, but what's going on with you this time?"
Dongfang Bupo thought for a while and said, "Actually, I came here this time to hope that all elders would agree to send family guards to assist in this matter. I have sent Tomorrow to find the Jade Pendant. However, although he has found it, because the Jade Pendant is in the hands of someone else, the strength of that person is comparable to that of Tomorrow. The last time they fought both sides, I hope that all elders would agree to my request this time."
The Great Elder and the other elders looked at each other, and saw that the other elders shook their heads at her, so they turned their heads and looked at Dongfang and said, "This matter may not be as strong as your wish. We don't know how powerful the boss behind the scenes you are talking about is. Putting aside this, even the family guards can't be sent out casually. You know, if the family guards come to the secular world, it will cause a bloody storm. We cannot guarantee whether other families will be involved. If other families ask about it, our family will probably be in trouble by then, so we cannot agree to your request."
Dongfang Bupo heard this. He knew that several elders would not easily send guards when they did not see the strength of the boss behind the scenes. However, the boss behind the scenes has always been looking for him. Now he is looking for him. He never knows his contact information. If he wants to see him, he will only wait half a month later. But at that time he didn't know whether the boss behind the scenes would listen to his explanation or would directly destroy his family. He couldn't guarantee this.
Dongfang Bupo said, "Several elders, I don't know how you can agree to my request. Now is also the time for our family to die. If several elders do not agree to sending the guards, I think the boss behind the scenes will not let our family go. Please think twice."
At this time, one of the old men came up and snorted coldly, "I think our family has been established for hundreds of years. Few people dare to say that we will destroy our family. If you ask the boss behind the scenes to come to see us, I will see if he has such strong strength and dares to be so arrogant and destroy our family by one person. Humph..."
Dongfang Bupo knew that things would be like this. As long as they had not seen the strong strength of the boss behind the scenes with their own eyes, they would not send family guards. So now he has no hope. He just hopes that the boss behind the scenes will listen to his explanation in half a month. There is no way, so he has to take him to see these old men.
Since there was nothing to do, Dongfang Bupo said, "Since that's the case, elders, I'll leave first." After that, he bowed and retreated.
After Dongfang Bupo left, the elder said, "Three, what do you think about this? The unsightly look like you don't seem to be telling lies. Do we really want to ignore it?"
The man named the third brother said, "Brother, I have never believed that anyone alone has such great strength. In the secular world, who dares to say that he can have the strength to destroy our family alone, I want to see who it is. It is better to let Bupo find the boss behind the scenes and let us fight him, and I don't believe it."
The elder waved his hand and said, "Three, don't be impulsive. I think it's better to be careful about this matter. After all, there are people outside the world, and I believe that in half a month, Bubo will bring his so-called behind-the-scenes boss to us. Then we will finish it."
When the other elders heard this, they nodded, and they had to do so first.
...
Dongfang Bupo soon called Dongfang Tori and told Dongfang Tori to not act rashly, and don’t be anxious about this. Just keep an eye on Yao Yu and don’t let him run away.
Dongfang Mingri didn't expect Dongfang Bupo to apply for the request of the guard, so he couldn't exclaim. Although Dongfang Mingri was dissatisfied, he had to nod and agree.
...
Soon, fifteen days passed. Although Dongfang Bupuo did not look for the jade pendant anymore, he had been spending the past few days in a state of fear, always imagining whether the boss would listen to his explanation when he came. Finally, this day came, which was the day when the boss behind the scenes asked him to hand over the jade pendant.
