When Hong Qi heard this, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained: "You can't be wrong. I personally used magic to test this person. He should be the same as us."
"Same? Do you think this person has magic power?" Hong Quan glanced at him, looking unconcerned.
"this……"
"Haha, even you can see that he doesn't have any mana fluctuations, why waste your time on this person." Hong Quan didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
"But there is indeed a domineering force in this person's body. It is because of this force that I was injured by the backlash today." Hong Qi said with a sigh.
"Is this really true?" Hong Quan was a little surprised when he heard this, but the look in Elder Hong's eyes was doubtful.
"It is indeed true. Although this person is a bit weird, his power is something that even I am afraid of. Otherwise, how could I dare to recommend this person to be the guest elder of the Hong clan?"
After hearing this, Hong Quan just remained silent, seeming to be thinking about something.
Seeing Hong Quan's hesitation, he said again: "In my opinion, even if this person does not exist like us, he is not much different. I have personally experienced that power."
"But even if we exist, we can't escape the eyes of the elders, right? From the look in the eyes of the other elders, this man is clearly a martial artist. Besides, can't I see it too?" Hong Quan obviously doesn't believe that he has it too.
When he looked away, he could tell whether there was any mana fluctuation at a glance, so he doubted Hong Qi's words.
"If you don't believe it, Master, you can try it yourself." Hong Qi said with his fists clasped.
"I will naturally look for opportunities to test this matter myself."
"That's good, but in the meantime, we must find ways to keep this person here." Hong Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other party tests Dongfang Zimo, he doesn't have to waste time.
In the past few days, Hong Qi went to Dongfang Zimo as a guest whenever he had free time, and the two chatted all afternoon.
Gradually, the relationship between the two became closer, and even things about Dongfang Zimo began to spread outside.
One day, Dongfang Zimo was too bored in his residence, so he planned to go out for a walk to relieve his boredom.
Although he is an outsider, under the care of Elder Hong, he can still wander around the Hong Mansion.
Of course, no one will restrict his freedom except in some forbidden areas.
While passing by a square, five or six groups of people suddenly appeared blocking the way.
When Dongfang Zimo frowned and was about to borrow it, the group of people immediately surrounded him.
"It seems that some of you are looking for me for something, but I don't know why I need to drain the water around me. Is it because I'm afraid I'll run away?" Dongfang Zimo said in a heavy tone, staring coldly at the obese man in front of him.
"Haha, I heard that your Excellency once killed more than a dozen people from the Meng family with one sword, and was recommended by Elder Hong as the guest elder, so I came here to ask for some advice. I hope you can give me some advice." The fat man crossed his arms and stared at Dongfang Zi proudly.
Mo had a sneer on his face.
"Elder Keqing? I'm afraid some of you may have misunderstood. I am not the elder Keqing of the Hong clan. I don't take it seriously when giving advice. I am just an ordinary person. I had already fainted when the incident involving a dozen people from the Meng family happened.
It's not like they were killed by any hero, they must have recognized the wrong person." Dongfang Zimo didn't want to say anything more to these people, so he explained and left alone.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Dongfang Zimo was about to run away, the fat man appeared in front of Dongfang Zimo with a few moves.
"Even if you are not the elder Keqing now, you may not be able to do so in the future. It is just a matter of time. But before that, I want to see what the abilities of the people brought back by Elder Hong are!" The fat man said that he was about to take action, but not yet.
As soon as he started, he was frightened by a voice and stopped.
"Brother Zimo?"
That voice was particularly familiar, it was the young man in green robe.
"Brother Zimo, why are you here?" The young man in green robe also noticed the fat man and others, but just glanced at them and ignored them.
Those people were a little wary of the green-robed man's appearance, so they clasped their fists in salute and left quickly.
Dongfang Zimo couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this. He didn't expect that this person would save him today.
After those people left, when the man in green robe was thinking about the purpose of these people's coming, he happened to see Dongfang Zimo's helpless expression, and then he understood.
"I wonder what my dear brother wants from me?" Dongfang Zimo said with his expression returning to normal.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot about this. My uncle is at the pavilion and wants to ask Brother Zimo to come over to cook wine and enjoy the flowers, so he specially asked me to inform you."
"Then please ask my dear brother to lead the way." Dongfang Zimo smiled. Elder Hong has indeed been getting closer to me recently, so it's no wonder that he is jealous.
However, the fact that Dongfang Zimo was recommended as the elder of the Keqing was not only spread among the Hong clan's disciples, but even outsiders began to spread the matter everywhere, and the rumors became more and more evil. Regarding Dongfang Zimo's life experience, it was even said that he was Hong's son.
A collateral bloodline of the family was given the position of elder of the guest minister because of its importance.
Of course, this incident was widely spread among the people in Hongfu County, and even directly reached the ears of other sects.
Somewhere some distance away from Hongfu County, dozens of people were sitting in a hall discussing matters, and one of the things they discussed was related to Dongfang Zimo.
"A person from the Hong family just appeared not long ago. I heard that he will be named the elder of the guest family. Who is this person? Do you have any details about him?"
An irresistible and majestic voice sounded, and the person who said this turned out to be a gray-haired old man.
Although he is an old man, he is tall and strong with piercing eyes. If it were not for the wrinkles on his face, it would be difficult to believe that he is an old man.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Sect Master, this man is just a man!" A middle-aged man with a big body and a round waist said with a laugh.
"Oh? Is that true? Then why do the people of the Hong family use him so highly? In my opinion, this person must be investigated carefully."
"No matter how capable this person is, he is at most a martial artist. I heard from spies that there is no power fluctuation in that person, so why should the sect master bother to investigate this person." The middle-aged man said indifferently.
"Hmph! What Elder Peng said is a pedantic opinion. If this person can be appreciated by Elder Hong and brought back to the Hong sect, there must be some reason for it. The sect leader needs to send a capable person to sneak into the Hong sect to investigate clearly.
It's safe." The speaker was an old man with a snow-white beard. The man glanced at the middle-aged man with a big waist and a round waist, and said with a sneer.
"You!" The tall, round-waisted middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw this man humiliating himself so much.
"Okay! Just follow what Elder Yun said and immediately arrange for someone to sneak into the Hong clan to investigate the matter." The old man on the main seat ordered in a tone that left no room for doubt.
After Elder Yun saw that his strategy was adopted, he glanced at Elder Peng with a smile in his eyes. The two looked at each other. Elder Peng knew that the other person was mocking him, and he couldn't help but get angry.
