Chapter 4563 I won"t take this blame.
Not to mention the other elders and family heads, even Ling mo Feng was frowning. Ling Chuxi"s words did not seem to be wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, wasn"t it just nonsense? if they could really cope with all changes by staying the same, with their current momentum, the Ling family would one day be able to trample the Shangguan family under their feet. No matter what Shangguan Yunxiao"s plot was, what did it have to do with the Ling family? The problem was, would the Shangguan family give the Ling family a chance to grow stronger? Not to mention anything else, just Shangguan zhenhe"s challenge alone was enough to give them a headache.
Looking at the stars in the third elder"s eyes as he shook his head, they really could not understand when this old man"s admiration for Chuxi had become so brain-dead.
"Shangguan zhenhe"s challenge to me this time is actually a very good opportunity. Shangguan Yunxiao"s biggest hope now is Shangguan zhenhe. If he fails again, Shangguan Yunxiao will be driven to desperation. " Ling Chuxi continued. She didn"t know whether to laugh or cry at third elder"s reaction. Of course, she wouldn"t say any nonsense. The last sentence was the main point of her words.
"Chuxi, you want to accept his challenge?" Ling mo Feng asked.
"Not bad." Ling Chuxi nodded her head.
"But as far as I know, Shangguan zhenhe has already reached the half-venerate realm. Are you confident?" Ling mo Feng asked.
"This enmity has already been going on for twenty years, and it"s time for it to come to an end. It"s not good for either of our families to drag this on. This matter can be considered an opportunity. " Ling Chuxi said.
This matter was not only a chance to settle the Ling family"s grievances, but it might also be a release for her. Being afraid of her own hands and feet, hiding under the wings of others, struggling to survive, was not in miss Ling"s character. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely aggrieved.
"Chuxi, are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to explain to Shangguan zhenhe?" Ling Xuantong asked.
Ling Chuxi nodded her head.
"But from what I know, that old man is extremely stubborn. I"m afraid he won"t believe you." Ling Xuantong said worriedly.
"Whether he believes it or not, he still has to explain." Ling Chuxi said. This was not a show of weakness to Shangguan zhenhe. It was clearly not the Ling family"s fault, so why did they put the blame on them and let the villains get what they want?
"Why don"t we forget about it? Shangguan zhenhe will most likely not believe you. The risk is too high." One of the elders advised. The other elders also had the same worried look on their faces. They were obviously not willing to let Ling Chuxi take such a risk.
"Elders, please be at ease. Since I dare to accept the challenge, I naturally have a certain degree of confidence." Ling Chuxi said.
However, she had her own plans in her heart. She also knew that it was very difficult for her to survive the battle with Shangguan zhenhe. What she really wanted to do was to make Shangguan zhenhe believe what the two masters of the Huang family had said. However, if she were to put herself in Shangguan zhenhe"s shoes, even she would find it hard to believe. So, how could she make him believe her?
"If that"s the case, then we"ll do as Chuxi says." Ling mo Feng hesitated for a moment before making his decision.
The Ling family would be handed over to Ling Chuxi sooner or later, so this compet.i.tion could be considered a test for her.
……
Early the next morning, Shangguan zhenhe"s letter of challenge was sent to the Ling family. The Ling family did not show any weakness and replied, accepting his challenge.
In no time, the news of Shangguan Zhen and Ling Chuxi"s upcoming battle spread throughout the ancient aristocratic families. Even some well-informed aristocratic families outside the ancient aristocratic families had received the news.
