Chapter 1021: Chapter 501: Temporarily Holding Back the Collapse of the Mountain_4

Is there such a drama where parents favor the younger brother here too? Li Ang sighed inwardly.

The journey to the guest room was exceptionally quiet, a quietness that nurtured another kind of unbearable feeling.

He really didn’t expect that the first thing that would make everyone difficult to deal with was not a strong enemy, but Elaphia’s family affairs.

They entered a spacious corridor about twenty or thirty meters long, where Elaphia signaled to everyone that these were the guest rooms, open for anyone to freely choose. Sunlight poured into the corridor, and looking out through the intricately carved rock windows, one could realize they were inside the mountain body of the First Sword Peak.

"Please rest for a while, everyone. I will handle some affairs. Regarding preparations for the next phase of the Martial Extreme Trial, we will discuss after dinner."

Elaphia hurriedly departed again.

After she left, Farlonio sighed deeply: "Oh dear, it’s really unfortunate running into Lady Lisa, Mr. Li Ang, let’s head into the room."

Falo beckoned Li Ang and the others to enter the room for a chat.

As soon as they stepped inside, Liluliss stretched lazily. Even she could sense the strange atmosphere just now, as if her body had stiffened. Diao also commented: "The family atmosphere of the young lady seems a bit..."

"Indeed there is a problem,"

Farlonio did not hold back at this moment: "Everyone has already encountered Urbian, you can more or less guess something."

Li Ang nodded: "Urbian shows no respect for his sister. I found it strange. Initially, when I heard you discussing the traditions of the Weapon Race, I thought he was just deeply influenced by the environment, with certain rigid ideas ingrained."

"That is part of it, but not the main issue. Those left in the household are not clear-minded, naturally becoming the weapon for others to bring them down."

Farlonio pointed towards the center of Sword Platform Island: "Within the Weapon Race and on Sword Platform Island, it’s also a small country. All sorts of old ideas and customs accumulated make it no better than the mundane relationships in other towns and villages. Moreover, standing in the corresponding position comes with tangible benefits."

Now that Li Ang began to encounter the complex relationships within the Weapon Race, Farlonio indicated that certain matters could be further explained, such as why Urbian appeared outside representing the Empire.

Since each race wants to vie for power, naturally, they seek various forces to enrich their own influence,

In the past, when Elaphia joined the Sky Knight Guild, although no substantial relationship was established with the Guild, it represented the First Family standing on the side of the Guild.

Of course, establishing cooperation is not easy; the Weapon Race and many deep-rooted forces of Nebis are similar — they have some displeasure towards the Guild’s strategy to connect the entire sky and gradually influence the world.

"Aifei wanted to establish a window, after all, the Guild indeed represents Nebis’ leading force in progress," Falo said.

However, cooperating with the Empire, which opposes the Guild, is also a direction aimed at the First Family.

"The Weapon Race, after all, has a long history. Some of the old things within it are very cunning and sly. They wouldn’t truly collaborate deeply with the Empire, but dispatching some vanguards is possible. And Aifei’s own family isn’t satisfied with her, to the point of standing together with outsiders."

Speaking of the elders from other families, Falo was not polite, starkly different from her business demeanor. Her intention was that Urbian was being used as a tool and didn’t even know it.

Lily frowned and said, "If it were me, if my younger brother misbehaved, I would break his limbs. Though I don’t have a younger brother."

Diao nodded in agreement at the side.

Li Ang could completely imagine, if these two had younger brothers, their degree of violence would be beyond control. Diao’s wild nature is usually hidden under the Ancient Witch Robe, making her look like a delicate girl. In her dreams of old memories, she’s rampant and untamed in the wilderness.

"Why did things become this way in her family? She may have a weaker physical constitution, but her strength is evident. Is the problem so great?" Li Ang wondered.

"Coming here, you should gradually understand that person’s past, Mr. Li Ang."

Farlonio smiled meaningfully: "I can only say that strength is not achieved overnight; she has moments when she is too weak to defeat anyone. The respect she gained later was won step by step. She is not bargaining with a colossal entity named family or tradition; she’s merely holding off the collapse of a mountain temporarily."

"I hope you can strive to understand why she persists until now. She won’t show this to anyone, but I know there’s only one exception."
