Chapter 4172 Making Things Difficult
Ling Chuxi also had the same doubts. Could it be that this Elder Gong was really that selfless? However, what was that telepathic signal just now? could it be that he had guessed wrong? That was impossible. How could things be so simple?
"Then many thanks to Elder Gong, elder ding, and elder w.a.n.g. Elder Gong is selfless, worthy of being a role model for us juniors to learn from." Ling Chuxi was also too lazy to think about it. She first got her hands on these few quotas before thinking about anything else. She then gave away a few big hats.
"Wait, I haven"t finished." Elder Gong waved his hand.
Ling Chuxi"s heart sank. She could tell that her guess was right. This old fellow was indeed not that kind-hearted. He must have some other tricks up his sleeve that he had not used.
"Forty years ago, the allocation of the spots for the great families was based on their strength. Over the years, the strength of each family has also changed, but because of the worries of the domain Lords, they have not been redistributed. I"m sure all of you know about the Ling clan"s situation over the past few years. It"s fine if you want these four spots, but your Ling clan has to show a corresponding amount of strength. Otherwise, it"ll be hard to convince the ma.s.ses. " As expected, Elder Gong continued.
What did this old man mean? In terms of the Ling family"s strength, Ling mofeng was already at the peak of the immortal level. Si kouye, who had recently become a consecrator, was also at the immortal level. Although uncle Tong and uncle Qin, the two immortal level experts, had yet to return to the Ling family, they were still consecrators. That was already a total of four immortal level experts. Moreover, after Ling MoYou and the others had taken the spiritual pills that she had personally concocted, it was only a matter of time before someone advanced to the immortal level. When it came to the Ling family"s strength, Ling Chuxi was confident that they could still take it out.
However, in order to prevent the family"s strength from being exposed too early and attracting the attention of the Shangguan, Yuwen, and other families, these things were kept a secret.
Ling Chuxi thought of another problem. On this trip to the city amongst the clouds, her grandfather had handed everything over to her. He had not even sent any of the elders to come along. It was obvious that he did not want the family"s strength to be exposed too early.
Furthermore, Elder Gong"s words might not be referring to the Ling family"s strength. After all, it was far away and there was no way to verify it. Furthermore, the Ling family was not willing to reveal their hidden strength too early.
Ling Chuxi frowned as she thought of this. This old fox was probably trying to test her strength to embarra.s.s her or pretend to hurt her unintentionally to affect her future compet.i.tion.
What kind of joke was this? to become a ruling elder, which one of them wasn"t an old monster that had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years? this time, there was no spirit lightning marrow cleansing, so she wouldn"t ask for a snub. If it was any other time, losing was fine and there was nothing to be embarra.s.sed about. However, when the time came, people would say that with this bit of strength, he actually dared to come out and embarra.s.s himself, and even dreamed of taking five spots in the great judgement election. He simply didn"t know the immensity of heaven and earth. If that happened, not only would he lose face, but he would also lose the face of the Ling family.
"Elders, you are famous in the Qing-Yun realm. I am too weak to show my face in front of you." Having guessed the other party"s intentions, Ling Chuxi would not fall for it so easily. She said with a smile.
"Hehe, that"s true. However, I can"t just give four of the slots to the Ling family so easily. Give me some time to think. " Seeing that Ling Chuxi had seen through his intentions, Elder Gong said this with a fake smile.
Seeing the old man"s malicious smile, Ling Chuxi"s heart was filled with an uneasy premonition. This old man was definitely up to no good.
