"Your Highness, it's Gan Pei. He said that the head of the Gan family invites you to go to the banquet."
Long Tianhao's face softened a little after hearing his servant's reply, but he was still dissatisfied.
Lin Mengya got out of his arms and sorted out her chaotic breath.
"Let's go and have a look first."
On the day when Long Tianhao had his first heat treatment, Gan Pei specially came to deliver the invitation.
But the couple on the invitation was Childe Tu and his fiancée.
It was obviously a banquet with a trap, but they decided to attend it for the time being after careful consideration.
However, they would not go to the banquet without any preparation.
It was still the old master's yard, but this time, the atmosphere between Second Elder Gan and the old master was much better than before.
Although it was not harmonious to the extent of talking and laughing, they were calm.
It seemed that the life-and-death situation that day was just a dream.
"My young friend Murong, you're here. Sit down."
Now the old master of the Gan family treated him as a distinguished guest. As for the others, they were all polite and respectful to Long Tianhao after being instructed by Steward Gan Pei.
Long Tianhao nodded and moved from the wheelchair to the chair.
The Old Patriarch looked at his leg and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm much better."
Lin Mengya didn't hide the true use of the dragon sand.
Therefore, the old master realized that he had been treating pearls as fish's eyes for so many years, which was a pity.
Fortunately, they knew how to use it in the future.
Of course, they also credited Long Tianhao with this credit.
"That's good. You're still so young and have a promising future. Of course, you should be cured. Don't worry and use it. No matter what you want, as long as you ask, I'll definitely get it for you. "
Long Tianhao lightly thanked him for his kindness.
After a few words of greeting, the old master covered his mouth and coughed. Then he got to the point.
"My young friend Murong, do you have any idea about the wedding between the Tu family and the Sheng family?"
The Tu family was nothing.
What was troublesome was the Sheng family, the real backer of Childe Tu in the Elders' Assembly.
Long Tianhao looked down and thought for a moment. Then he said, "About the Sheng family, do you have any specific information, Master Gan?"
"About that."
The old patriarch thought about it and helplessly said, "This Sheng clan is one of the great clans of the Upper Flux Clan. Among the ten great elders of the Upper Flux Clan, the Sheng clan occupies at least one seat. This elder of the Sheng family was also Young Master Tu's father-in-law. His power and prestige were quite good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been promoted to the position of substitute elder so quickly. What a pity … "
He glanced at his younger brother beside him and couldn't help but sigh.
"I heard that apart from Young Master Tu, there's another strong candidate for the acting elder position. The faction behind that person was at odds with the Sheng family. Therefore, the failure of Young Master Tu this time would very likely lead to him being captured by another person. When that happens, the Sheng family won't let it go. "
Although the Elders Guild was powerful, the main authority was in the hands of a small number of people.
Needless to say, the ten great elders were definitely the most powerful figures in the ancient clan.
Behind them stood the most powerful family in the entire Ancient Clan.
In fact, the power struggle within the Elder Council was also very intense.
That was why every elder's position in the Elder Council was extremely precious to these families.
This time, the Sheng family had finally gotten such an opportunity after much difficulty, only to have it ruined because of Second Elder Gan's selfishness.
The Sheng family's thunderous rage would probably be vented on the Gan family.
That was also why the old patriarch of the Gan family was almost worried to death over the last few days.
What the hell was going on?!
"I'll take responsibility for what I've done. When the time comes, I'll go to the Sheng family and apologize. I'll let them kill me or torture me. "
Things had already reached this point, but the Gan Family's second old master didn't feel the slightest bit of regret in his heart.
He was already satisfied to be able to see Yu Hua again.
He wouldn't hesitate even if he had to die right now.
Beside him, the old patriarch was almost choking on his anger, and pointed at the stubborn old man and scolded, "You're a hero now! Would the Sheng family let us off even if we delivered ourselves to their doorstep for them to trample on? Second Brother, are you stupid?! "
In all fairness, Lin Mengya believed that Second Elder Gan wasn't suited to be the leader of a family.
He was certainly a man of affection and loyalty to his wife and daughter.
But for the entire family, with such a thing around, why would they worry about not having their family destroyed?
Likewise, she was dissatisfied with some of the old patriarch's actions.
Even so, the old patriarch did it for the entire Gan family.
She believed that the Gan family wouldn't have ended up like this if the old patriarch was still in peak condition.
It couldn't be helped. It was all a coincidence that caught them off guard.
"Second Elder Gan, you should think about Miss Dandan."
Lin Mengya lowered her head and spoke slowly.
"She has lost her mother. Do you want her to lose her father, Second Elder Gan?"
Dandan was a taboo in Second Elder Gan's heart.
He lowered his head, clenching his fists.
"What can I do?"
Targeting Young Master Tu and taking his place was all part of his own plan.
He did think that Young Master Tu would notice something if he was discovered.
Still, he was secretive, and no one would be able to find out about it apart from those in the divine realm.
So what if Young Master Tu was angry then?
He could simply bluff his way through.
Unfortunately, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
No matter how much he resented the old patriarch, he didn't want to push the Gan family into an irrecoverable situation.
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at him calmly.
"Both the old patriarch and the Temple Master are trying their best to think of a solution. Second Elder Gan, the old patriarch is trying to save your life. No matter what you think, you shouldn't give up your life so easily. "
Lin Mengya's tone was a little harsh when she said this.
Second Elder Gan didn't expect that he would be lectured by a young child. He felt a little embarrassed at that moment.
But he had to shut up because of the current situation.
Long Tianhao gave him an appreciative look.
She was indeed his wife. She was becoming more and more like a leader. Not bad.
"You're right."
The old patriarch took over the conversation and said to his younger brother sincerely, "I've promised Yu Hua to keep an eye on you for her, so I won't let you do those stupid things. Besides, it's just a wedding. We can prepare more gifts and be more cautious. I don't think they will attack us openly. "
Long Tianhao thought for a while.
"You're right, Patriarch Gan.
Perhaps you should thank the heavenly fire. All the evidence has been burned and Young Master Tu has returned to normal. Even if the Sheng family wants to make trouble, they won't be able to get any concrete evidence. "
That was probably why the Sheng family would specially send them an invitation.
But Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao weren't so optimistic.
Big families had many ways to deal with small families.
Even if the Sheng family suffered a loss on the surface, they would secretly want to get back at them.
Moreover, this matter was related to the real interests of the Sheng family.
They were silent for a moment. Long Tianhao asked, "Why did Young Master Tu come to the Gan family?"
Second Elder Gan raised his head with a frown on his face.
"He came to get an antique kept in the Gan family."
"What antique?" Lin Mengya couldn't help asking as curious as Long Tianhao.
The old patriarch seemed to remember something and his face became much more serious.
"It's a fragment of an unknown object."
It seemed to have existed since the Gan family was founded. But none of the patriarchs of the Gan family could tell where it came from. They didn't know who gave it to them or if they already had it.
They only knew that the rule passed down from their ancestors was that if the Gan family decided to pledge allegiance to someone, they would hand over the antique to that person.
The Elders Council had thought about it before, but they didn't have as much power as they did now.
So it had always been in the Gan family.
Second Elder Gan had tried to befriend the Elders Council behind the old patriarch's back to seize power.
That was why the Elders Council thought that taking the fragment of the Gan family was a sure thing.
But who knew that there would be more complications.
It was no wonder that they were annoyed.
"Can we have a look?" Long Tianhao asked casually.
The Old Patriarch hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
Not long after, Gan Pei personally carried a tray and respectfully presented the things they wanted.
"This is the antique. Please help yourself, my young friend Murong."
As he spoke, Gan Pei carefully placed the object in front of Long Tianhao.
Lin Mengya handed a handkerchief to Long Tianhao.
Long Tianhao immediately unfolded it and gently picked up the fragment through the handkerchief.
This thing should be old. It was black, half the size of a palm and as high as a little finger.
And the edge was irregular, as if it had been smashed by someone.
But judging by sight and touch, this thing was not as fragile as jade or porcelain. Instead, it was more like some kind of metal.
He turned it over and over for a long time. In fact, he deliberately slowed down his movements to show all the details of the fragment to his wife.
Lin Mengya naturally memorized all the details and then nodded at Long Tianhao subtly.
He knew that she had seen it clearly, so he put it down.
"You really don't know what this fragment is?"
The Gan brothers shook their heads at the same time, especially the old patriarch.
"To tell you the truth, our ancestors couldn't figure it out for generations, so we treated it as an inheritance."
After all, there were clan rules. Families like the aboriginals, who lived in a relatively closed environment, would not easily violate them.
Therefore, even if they didn't know the origin of this thing, they still treated it as a treasure.
Lin Mengya didn't quite agree with such a family inheritance.
