Upon hearing that Dongfangzi Mo was willing to stay, Hong Qi laughed heartily three times. Although the man in green robe was puzzled by his intention, he did not suspect him.
"My dear nephew, please order someone to prepare a banquet. I will treat Zimo well later."
The green-robed man responded and left the place, leaving only Dongfang Zimo and the elders of the Hong clan in the room.
"I'm afraid Zimo's injury will not be cured for a while. Although I am not talented, I know several ways to treat internal injuries, so let me help you recover as soon as possible." Hong Qi's expression suddenly turned serious, and he stared at Dongfang Zimo's injuries and said.
.
"This little injury will be healed soon, so why bother Elder Hong." Dongfang Zimo smiled lightly, not knowing what the other party meant.
"Hey! Zimo, please don't see anyone outside." Hong Qi's expression softened and he showed a smile.
Seeing this, Dongfang Zimo no longer shied away and said, "Then there is Elder Lao Hong."
When Hong Qi heard this, his eyes lit up and he reached out to grab Dongfang Zimo's wrist. The smile on his face gradually faded.
Dongfang Zimo felt that the other party's grip was a little tight, but he didn't care. However, the next second his face turned a little shocked.
I saw a faint aura floating around Hong Qi's body. Although it was very weak, it was indeed such a thing.
"Elder Hong..."
Dongfang Zimo couldn't help shouting, but the other party turned a deaf ear. Seeing this, Dongfang Zimo had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and wait until he was healed before asking again.
After nearly a cup of tea, Dongfang Zimo suddenly felt much more comfortable, and all the previous aches and pains were gone.
"ah!"
Hong Qi suddenly yelled, and his whole body was ejected and hit the wall as if he was hit by someone.
Soon several disciples heard the sound and came over, and were horrified to find Hong Qi lying on the ground.
"How dare you hurt Elder Hong!"
Several disciples saw Dongfang Zimo on the side, thought it was him, and immediately drew their swords to block Elder Hong.
Dongfang Zimo didn't know what was going on, but when facing these people, he suddenly drew his sword and confronted them, and his face immediately turned gloomy.
"How presumptuous! If you don't hurry up, please step back!"
Hong Qi's voice suddenly sounded from behind these disciples, full of majesty, leaving no room for doubt.
The few disciples who rushed in didn't know the reason, but when they saw the elder being angry, they were so frightened that they immediately left the house.
"Don't be offended Zimo, it was just something wrong when I was healing the injury." Hong Qi coughed a few times. Although he appeared to be fine, in fact he had already suffered internal injuries, which were only temporarily suppressed by his internal strength.
But what happened just now really frightened Elder Hong.
After simply helping Dongfang Zimo recover from his injuries, he planned to use his own magic power to find out whether the other party was the person he was looking for.
But he didn't expect that his mana would suddenly be taken away by an overbearing force. That force was like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing Hong Qi's mana.
In order to prevent himself from being sucked up, Hong Qi forced himself to break free, but he was also knocked out by the backlash.
"I originally wanted to test this man's magic power, but I didn't expect that he made a joke and ended up seriously injured." Hong Qi smiled bitterly in his heart.
But even so, this also made Hong Qi more determined that the other person was indeed the person he was looking for. Although his skin and flesh hurt, his heart was filled with joy.
Dongfang Zimo stared at him solemnly, feeling that Elder Hong seemed to be hiding something from him.
"Thank you, Elder Hong, for helping me heal my wounds, but what happened just now..." Dongfang Zimo asked curiously.
"Nothing happened. It was just that I was a little uneasy when I was doing my exercises and almost went crazy, which led to the embarrassing scene. Zimo is going to take offense, haha!" Hong Qi dealt with the matter lightly.
.
"I wonder what Zimo's plans are after that?"
Dongfang Zimo glanced at the other party in surprise. After thinking deeply, he said, "I don't know yet."
Hong Qi seemed to be very happy with his answer, and his mood also rose, saying: "Why don't Zimo stay in the Hong clan first and become a minister?"
"This..." Dongfang Zimo didn't expect that the other party would actually say these words, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"With Zimo's talent, he will definitely be valued if he stays in the Hong family. Although he is only a minister, there are many benefits. Many outsiders are vying to become the minister of the Hong family, but they are all rejected one by one.
From the outside, it can be seen that its benefits are high."
"Thank you Elder Hong for your kindness, but I don't intend to stay for a long time." Dongfang Zimo still felt that something was wrong after thinking about it.
Hong Qi was a little surprised, but he still didn't give up his intention to win over. After thinking for a moment, he said: "As long as Zimo is willing to stay, how about I recommend you to sit on the position of the Keqing elder? Although you are the Keqing elder, his annual enshrinement
But like us elders, the Hong family's children are at your disposal."
After Hong Qi finished speaking, he was very sure that the other party would agree, so he found a stool and sat down in a happy mood.
"Zimo once again appreciates the elder's kindness, but I don't like to be restrained, so I'd better avoid this matter." Dongfang Zimo hesitated again and again and chose to refuse. Although the benefits of Elder Keqing are unimaginable, he doesn't understand the other party.
I'm afraid it would be a scam to accept it rashly.
Hong Qi looked a little unhappy when he heard this, but he did not continue to press and found an opportunity to change the topic.
After the two chatted for nearly a cup of tea, Hong Qi left.
But before leaving, he specifically asked Dongfang Zimo to come over for the banquet tonight.
That night, Dongfang Zimo came on time as expected.
Dongfang Zimo looked around and couldn't help being a little stunned.
In addition to the uncle and nephew present, there were actually five more men who also had the aura of a master.
Although he was a little out of sorts, Dongfang Zimo's expression immediately returned to its original state.
"I've met you all, Dongfang Zimo. I hope you won't blame me for disturbing you." Dongfang Zimo clasped his hands and gave a salute.
When Dongfang Zimo appeared, everyone in the hall stared closely at him, as if they wanted to see through him inside and out.
Dongfang Zimo turned a blind eye to these strange looks, and his face remained calm and calm.
"It turns out to be little friend Zimo. I am the head of the Hong family, Hong Quan, and this is..." Seeing Dongfang Zimo arrive, a middle-aged man in his thirties greeted him with a smile, and introduced the others one by one.
An elder.
Dongfang Zimo glanced at the other four people, and everyone nodded in salute.
After these elders saw that Dongfang Zimo was an ordinary person, they ignored him.
Dongfang Zimo took a seat at the table at the instruction of Sect Master Hong.
After the banquet, at night, only two people were seen discussing something in the Hong family hall.
"What does the sect master think of this son?"
The speaker was Hong Qi, who had brought Dongfang Zimo back.
Sitting on the main seat in the lobby was Hong Quan, the leader of the Hong clan.
After hearing Hong Qi's words, Hong Quan burst out laughing and said, "I think this guy is just ordinary. Where does he get his magic power?"
