Chapter 1582: Hierarch-level bodyguard (2)
Translator: 549690339
“As for the second elder, remove him from his position as an elder for now. From now on, he will be Xue ‘er’s bodyguard.” The master of the ning family said again. His decision was like an atomic bomb that exploded among the elders.
All the elders and Ning Yuan looked at each other. No one dared to say a word, but their sympathetic eyes followed the second elder, making his face turn darker and darker.
“Master! Why did you revoke my position as the second elder? What did I do wrong?” The second elder’s face was full of disbelief, his eyes wide as he stared at the master of the ning family.
“As an elder of the family, I don’t expect you to treat everything equally, but excessive selfishness and jealousy are taboo among the higher-ups. Do you think the chief butler would dare to do all these things without your support? And now that things have come to this, you still want to clear his name! Hmph! Our ning family doesn’t need such a selfish elder. You should reflect on yourself for a while! From now on, you’re Xue ‘er’s bodyguard. ” The master of the ning family said firmly.
After the second elder heard the words of the master of the ning family, he was completely stunned.
“G.o.dfather! I can’t afford to use the second elder. ” At this moment, Leng ruoxue pouted her pink lips and spoke with slight dissatisfaction. She was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement because she was very clear that she could not command the old fogey second elder.
“Xue ‘er! Since he’s your bodyguard now, you can do whatever you want with him. Whether you hit him or scold him depends on your mood. I won’t interfere. ” Master ning smiled and tried to please her. He knew what Xue ‘er was afraid of, but he would never give Leng ruoxue a chance to reject him!
“G.o.dfather! This kind of thing can’t be one-sided, I don’t want a disobedient subordinate. ” Leng ruoxue looked at the dark-faced second elder. No matter how she looked at him, she was not satisfied.
“Xue ‘er! Didn’t G.o.dfather say it before? You can do whatever you want to him, be it scolding or beating. ” Master ning’s voice was pleading.
At this moment, the second elder had also regained his senses. He knew that the family head’s words carried enormous weight and no one could go against them. Even though he was unhappy, he had no way of rejecting her. However, he did not expect that Leng ruoxue would not want him either. This had hurt his pride.
“You, wretched girl, you dare to despise me!” The second elder’s brows furrowed as he pointed at Leng ruoxue and roared in anger.
“Don’t you also despise me? We’re the same. Since we don’t see eye to eye, why force ourselves to be together? A melon that is forcefully twisted is not sweet, there will be no happiness if you force it. ” Leng ruoxue raised her brows slightly. A smile flashed across her bright eyes, so fast that no one could catch it.
However, Leng ruoxue’s words … Left everyone at the scene at a loss for words. There seemed to be something wrong with her words, but they could not put their finger on what it was. Furthermore, other than the family head, second elder, and Leng ruoxue, no one else dared to even breathe loudly. They were afraid that the family head would target them and throw them to Leng ruoxue to be her attendant or something. If that happened, how could they still face others?
“Uh!” Second elder was speechless. Leng ruoxue was right. He was a thousand times, ten thousand times, unwilling to be her bodyguard. However, what was the use of his unwillingness? Could he resist the master? Although he was already a reverent-G.o.d, he was as fragile as a child in front of the master. As a member of the ning family, he had a natural wors.h.i.+p for the ning family’s ancestor. This wors.h.i.+p came from the blood and was innate. Therefore, they were born with the mission of protecting the ning family’s honor, which had been deeply embedded in their bones. Therefore, even if he was unwilling, he could not resist the decision of the ancestor.
“Little girl! Wouldn’t it be a greater sense of accomplishment to turn an unwilling melon into a willing melon?” The master of the ning family reminded him with an evil smile, a hint of slyness quickly flas.h.i.+ng in the depths of his dark eyes.
“Alright then!” Leng ruoxue nodded. She knew that G.o.dfather was determined to give this inflexible second elder to her. Hence, no matter what reason she came up with to reject him, G.o.dfather would go back on his word. Since that was the case, she would accept it reluctantly!
“Wretched girl! I’m a reverent-G.o.d!” Looking at Leng ruoxue’s reluctant expression, the anger in second elder’s heart surged to his head. This wretched girl had hurt his pride. Although he was not willing to do so, he would not allow others to despise him!
“What’s wrong, divine Lord?” Leng ruoxue did not think much of it. Even though reverent-G.o.d level cultivators were considered top-notch cultivators in the G.o.d World, even top-notch cultivators would not be able to withstand being surrounded and attacked! She had so many Beastie in her hands, and one spit from each of them would drown him.
“You …” The second elder was so angry that he pointed at Leng ruoxue, unable to speak.
“You what? I’m your master now! You can either call me master or young lady. If you dare to call me wretched girl again, I’ll punish you!” Leng ruoxue’s clear and beautiful eyes glared angrily as she threatened him.
“You …” The second elder stammered for a long time, but he couldn’t say a word.
“Grape! Discipline him!” Seeing that second elder was talking about her again, Leng ruoxue turned around and instructed grape without hesitation.
“Yes! May I ask miss, what kind of family discipline should we use?” Grape asked in a low voice. She had followed the young miss for so long, why didn’t she know that the young miss had family laws?
“Didn’t I give you so many pills? You can give any one of them to the second elder. ” Leng ruoxue said with a smile. The smile on her face was as bright as a Hundred Flowers blooming.
“Understood!” Grape nodded. Then, he smiled at the terrified second elder, took out a pill and threw it into his mouth.
In an instant, the second elder was rendered speechless. His entire body was stiff, and he could not move at all. However, his eyes were fixed on Leng ruoxue.
Seeing this, Leng ruoxue wasn’t angry. If second elder didn’t have any reaction, then it would be quite boring!
However, when the other elders saw the second elder’s appearance, they were a little bewildered because they didn’t know what had happened to the second elder. He had only taken one pill, so why couldn’t he speak or move? This was really too strange.
Actually, the reason why second elder could not move was because Leng ruoxue had given him a drug that made his entire body stiff. After all, his opponent was a reverent-G.o.d level cultivator! With grape’s strength, there was no way she could do anything to him. After that, grape gave the second elder a pill that made him temporarily mute. Hence, the second elder ended up in this state.
The second elder stood there unmoving. Even though the crowd pitied him, no one dared to speak up for him. Leng ruoxue turned her head to the arena, not even bothering to look at him, treating him like air.
Today was the second day of the finals of the family compet.i.tion. The compet.i.tion was divided into two parts, and the rules were the same as the previous day.
As for Leng ruoxue, she only paid attention to the match between Ning Shan and Ning Hai.
