I became a villain in a book. Why did the heroine turn evil first?

The next morning, the person who came to guide Mu Wuyi and the others changed from Dongfang Yu to Dongfang Lingli. It was unknown whether it was Dongfang Yu's arrangement or Dongfang Lingli's whim.

But Dongfang Lingli did not mention the marriage again, which made Mu Wuyi feel relieved. Su Yunyao still kept a close eye on Dongfang Lingli, because she did not believe that Dongfang Lingli was the kind of person who would give up after failure.

For a genius like Dongfang Lingli who has always had a smooth life, facing failure will often only make her fighting spirit burn stronger.

Mu Wuyi and her friends had originally planned to stay for only two days before setting off, but ended up delaying their trip for another three days because the Dongfang family had a caravan heading to Yunlai Prefecture. Although the Dongfang family couldn't afford the huge immortal boats of the thirty-six major clans, they did have a few small immortal boats of dozens of square meters.

Although this kind of immortal boat is small, its speed is not slow. Just traveling from Dongling City to the trading city of Yunlaizhou where the Dongfang family is going this time can save nearly a month compared to Mu Wuyi and the others traveling by themselves.

Dongfang Lingli suggested that they take a ride on the immortal boat for free, and Mu Wuyi naturally agreed happily. If it could save a month of boring travel time, of course she would take a ride on the immortal boat.

On the day of leaving, Dongfang Qian actually came to see her off in person. Judging from his attitude, he obviously had not given up the idea of ​​having Mu Wuyi marry into the Dongfang family. Mu Wuyi also deeply admired the old man's persistence.

After Mu Wuyi and the others left, the Dongfang family held a meeting of elders that night. In addition to the twelve elders of Dongfang Ji's generation, all five elders of Dongfang Ji's generation also came out. There was only one thing they wanted to discuss, which was Dongfang Lingli's failure to find a husband.

The Dongfang family is now divided into three factions. One is the faction of the three Dongfang Ji brothers, led by Dongfang Qian. There is also a pair of brothers who are neutral, and their father is also an old man in the Xuanxian realm. The remaining seven elders are from one faction, and there are three old men in the Xuanxian realm behind them.

The seven elders originally belonged to two factions, but because Dongfang Qian's two granddaughters were too dazzling, one was accepted as a personal disciple by a powerful spirit fairy in the Bishui Palace, and the other had an unparalleled business mind. This made them feel a deep crisis and formed an alliance.

"Tell me, Old Eight, how do we resolve the farce at the marriage-seeking meeting a few days ago? It would be fine if the marriage-seeking meeting failed, but Lingli actually announced in public that she wanted to marry a woman. Is she trying to disgrace the Dongfang family?"

The one who was speaking was the great elder of this generation. The "Old Eight" he called was Dongfang Lingli's father, Dongfang Qiren.

It was they who put pressure on the three Dongfang Ji brothers to let Dongfang Lingli hold a marriage-seeking meeting. Dongfang Lingli is a woman after all, and as long as she marries an outsider, the family will not give her too much decision-making power, hoping to weaken Dongfang Lingli's control over the Dongfang family's business.

Unexpectedly, the neutral Seventh Young Master who joined in the fun succeeded in marrying someone else, but this allowed their target, Dongfang Lingli, to escape successfully.

In fact, they also made another plan, that is, the father and son Wang Linyu who came to cause trouble were secretly invited by the Great Elder. If the Wang family wins in the end, Dongfang Qian will definitely not agree to let his granddaughter marry the Wang family. In this way, because Dongfang Lingli has damaged the face of the Dongfang family, it can also weaken Dongfang Lingli's control over the Dongfang family's business.

They calculated everything and thought that they were foolproof this time, but Mu Wuyi suddenly appeared and shattered their plans. However, Mu Wuyi happened to be the one favored by the Bishui Palace, and they couldn't afford to offend him, so they had to hold Dongfang Ji and the others accountable.

For the elders, the only good result was that Mu Wuyi did not really marry Dongfang Lingli. Otherwise, a girl with terrifying talent joined Dongfang Ji's faction, which would be very bad news for them. After all, the Cangyun Realm respected the strong, and compared with a genius, that little bit of business rights was not enough.

Facing the great elder's questioning, Dongfang Qiren smiled and laughed.

"Haha, it's just a kid's joke, the Great Elder wouldn't take it seriously, right?"

The three Dongfang Ji brothers had already made up their mind before they came. They would just play dumb to the end at this elders' meeting. Anyway, the Great Elder and the others would not have the nerve to ask Dongfang Lingli to hold another matchmaking meeting. As for what they wanted to scold, they could just let it go in one ear and out the other.

Just as some people were trying to hold someone accountable and others were laughing it off, half an hour passed and in the end, nothing was discussed. Dongfang Qian sat behind the three brothers and took a nap.

At this time, the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came in was Dongfang Lingli. The elder was already very angry because of the attitude of the three Dongfang Ji brothers, and when he saw Dongfang Lingli barging in without paying attention to the family rules, he took out all his anger on her.

"What kind of place is this? How dare a junior like you break in? Do you want to be punished by the family rules?"

Facing the aggressive Great Elder, Dongfang Lingli didn't care much and spoke.

"My dear uncles, there is no need to argue about the marriage conference anymore. I am here to propose a solution. I will no longer be the boss of Zuiyunlou!"

When these words came out, even Dongfang Qian was startled awake. The Great Elders showed joy on their faces, wondering how Dongfang Lingli had figured it out. Dongfang Qiren jumped up from his chair, came to Dongfang Lingli's side, and asked in a low voice.

"Lingli, what are you trying to do again?!"

"Don't worry, Dad, just listen to me."

Dongfang Lingli signaled Dongfang Qiren to stay calm, and then continued.

"I have already drawn up a management plan for Zuiyunlou for the next 100 years, and will hand it over to my grandfather for safekeeping. As for me, when Zhiyun's master came to recruit disciples, didn't he want to take me with him? Now I have figured it out. I want to go to Bishui Palace and practice with Zhiyun."

These words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Great Elder's faction.

Even if Dongfang Lingli is good at business now, she is still a member of the Dongfang family and is still under their jurisdiction. If she goes to the Bishui Palace, it will not be a problem for her to become a direct disciple with her talent. The direct disciples of the thirty-six major sects have a different nature, and they are not something that the Dongfang family can control.

In this way, Dongfang Ji's school will have two direct disciples of Bishui Palace, and their status in the Dongfang family will become extremely stable.

In the end, I thought I had a good abacus, but in the end, the beads broke on my face.
