Chapter 2715 Just Looking, Not Saying! Word (3)
"Then release it? Is it worth calling all of us back for such a small matter? Guild leader, I still have important matters to attend to!" One of the elders said in dissatisfaction.
"My matter is more important than yours! All of you must give your opinions. " "Shut up!" Miao Jie shouted angrily when he heard that.
"Alright! Who asked you to be the president! Of course we have to listen to you. Now, can Mr. President tell us what the mission is?" The dissatisfied elder said in a strange tone.
Leng ruoxue saw this and knew that some of the elders were not convinced by Miao Jie. She could not help but feel glad that she had summoned all the higher-ups back. Otherwise, it would be troublesome!
When Miao Jie heard the elder"s words, although he was also very angry, he still held it in and said to everyone present,""Young lady Leng wants to put a bounty on G.o.d Lord fogripple!" Zhao Feng said.
As soon as he said that, the entire meeting hall fell silent. Even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
The crowd was obviously petrified by his words.
"Now, Tell us your opinions. Are we going to accept this mission or not?" Seeing that everyone was shocked, Miao Jie finally felt better. Otherwise, it would be unfair if he was the only one who was shocked!
"President, this mission ..." The elder who had a bad opinion of Miao Jie wanted to reject the mission immediately. However, he suddenly remembered that Leng ruoxue was here as well, so he swallowed the words "can"t accept" back into his stomach. Then, he looked as if he was constipated, and his face turned red.
"Elder Qi, can I accept this mission?" Seeing this, Miao Jie knew what was going on, but he still asked this on purpose.
"No, you can"t take it!" Under everyone"s gaze, elder Qi, who had been called out by Miao Jie, braced himself and said.
Sob ... What a bully. Why did he only ask him and not the others? Elder Qi secretly complained to himself. At this moment, he had long forgotten that he was the one who provoked Miao Jie first.
When Miao Jie heard this, he only smiled faintly and said,""But miss Leng insisted that we accept this mission. I can"t make the decision myself, so I called back your Guild"s higher-ups to discuss this matter. Do you still think I"m making a mountain out of a molehill now?"
"I ... I never thought that way." Elder Qi said in a low voice.
However, Miao Jie obviously did not care about what he said. He only emphasized that he wanted them to come to a conclusion after a serious discussion so that they could give Leng ruoxue an explanation.
Everyone present, other than the branch presidents who had been subdued by Leng ruoxue, had long faces. They truly felt that their President was making things difficult for them. In reality, if Leng ruoxue wasn"t here, they might be more at ease when they discussed this matter. However, when they thought of how Leng ruoxue was sitting by the side and watching them discuss, they didn"t dare to speak carelessly! It would be a wonder if he wasn"t hated by that demon!
As a Mission a.s.sociation and an organization that was known for gathering information, they understood Leng ruoxue more than anyone else. In addition, the mission a.s.sociation was under the jurisdiction of the Divine Master"s estate. They had the advantage of time, location, and people. Hence, almost every elder in the mission a.s.sociation knew that Leng ruoxue was not someone to be trifled with. As such, no one was willing to stand out and be the villain!
However, if they didn"t want to be evil, they had to pretend to be deaf and mute. For a time, many elders decided to be completely mute to avoid getting into trouble.
Seeing that the elders didn"t say anything, the branch president and the priests felt that there was no room for them to speak, so they pretended to be mute with peace of mind!
"You guys should say something!" Seeing that everyone was silent for a long time, Miao Jie shouted angrily. In his heart, he was cursing the people in front of him! Tras.h.!.+ A bunch of tras.h.!.+ They wouldn"t be able to see them at the critical moment!
"Guild leader, it"s up to you to decide. We"ll all follow your lead!" Seeing Miao Jie"s anger, one of the branch presidents, who had received Leng ruoxue"s eye signal, immediately said in a fawning manner.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone agreed with him. Miao Jie was so angry that he almost pa.s.sed out.
Miao Jie"s old face was red as he pointed at the elders in front of him with a trembling finger. He stammered for a long time and did not say a word. In the end, perhaps it was because of anger, his eyes suddenly rolled back and he fainted.
When everyone saw this, they were all frightened and rushed forward in a hurry, trying to wake Miao Jie up with all kinds of means! d.a.m.n it, why did he faint at such a time?
The elders were panicking, while Leng ruoxue was completely speechless.
Did he think that she didn"t know that Miao Jie was pretending to faint?
Standing up, Leng ruoxue shouted,""Get out of my way! I"m the best at treating unconscious patients!"
Upon hearing this, the elders who had surrounded Miao Jie immediately dispersed to both sides like a tide, giving way to Leng ruoxue.
Leng ruoxue took elegant steps and slowly walked to Miao Jie. Then, she took out a handful of silver needles that were twice as thick as chopsticks and shone with a beautiful l.u.s.ter.
"What thick silver needles!" Someone exclaimed in surprise.
When the elders around Miao Jie saw the silver needle, they all subconsciously swallowed their saliva and took a big step back. At the same time, they thought to themselves,"if this needle were to be inserted, would the president still be able to stand it?" Please don"t take his old life!
Just as he was thinking about this, the elders saw Leng ruoxue waving the silver needle in front of Miao Jie"s eyes. Then, she gestured on his body, as if she was looking for a place to lower her hand.
The silver needles cast a shadow on Miao Jie"s body. Miao Jie, who was pretending to be unconscious, was so scared that his heart trembled.
Even though his eyes were closed, he could clearly feel the waves of cold air coming from the surroundings and the elders "cries of surprise. From this, it could be seen that the silver needles in Leng ruoxue"s hands were definitely not good things.
"Where should I start?" Hearing Leng ruoxue"s mumbling, Miao Jie was so scared that he could no longer pretend. He opened his eyes and sat up straight.
"I, I"m already fine!" Looking at the thick silver needle in front of him, Miao Jie, who had just opened his eyes and did not dare to pretend to be unconscious, was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
What a thick needle! That was close!
Silently wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Miao Jie"s heart was still fluttering with fear. If the needle were to be inserted, there would definitely be a hole in his body!
This was not a joke!
Miao Jie carefully put on a smile and looked at Leng ruoxue with a fawning expression. He was as obedient as a little beast.
Leng ruoxue, on the other hand, was worried and asked,""You"re really done?"
"Alright, I"m done!" Miao Jie swallowed his saliva and answered Leng ruoxue"s question cautiously.
"Are you sure?" Leng ruoxue asked again.
"Yes, yes." Miao Jie nodded his head furiously, afraid that Leng ruoxue would stab him if he answered too slowly.
"If that"s the case, you guys can come up with a conclusion within half an hour!" Leng ruoxue said with a smile. She no longer wanted to continue playing hide and seek with them. In any case, now that everyone was in a neat formation, it was a good time to make a move.
"Half an hour?" When Miao Jie and the other elders heard this, their faces turned ugly. It was obvious that half an hour was too short for them.
"Just half an hour! Not even a minute more! From now on, I want to know your opinions after half an hour!" Leng ruoxue"s att.i.tude was very firm.
"Miss Leng, half an hour is not enough!" As the president, Miao Jie couldn"t just stand by and watch. He had to stand out even if he didn"t want to!
"Half an hour isn"t enough? What about half a year?" Leng ruoxue asked casually.
"Half a year ..." Miao Jie was about to say that half a year was more like it. At least it would buy them some time. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was immediately interrupted by Leng ruoxue.
Leng ruoxue"s voice was extremely cold,""I"ll give you half an hour, but you think it"s too short. I"ll give you half a year, and you"ll definitely find all kinds of excuses to delay it! So, don"t waste everyone"s time and quickly decide!"
Faced with Leng ruoxue"s non-negotiable expression, Miao Jie and the rest were so conflicted that their intestines were about to be tied up. However, Leng ruoxue did not care about their feelings and only reminded them indifferently,""It"s been five minutes. You have 25 minutes to discuss!"
"……"
Leng ruoxue"s unyielding att.i.tude made Miao Jie and the others at a loss. However, they had been in high positions for many years, so they quickly adjusted their mentality and communicated privately.
Some elders suggested asking for help from the divine lord"s estate. After all, the divine lord"s estate looked like it was about to start a fight. However, Miao Jie regretfully told him that he had sent someone to the Divine Master"s estate a few days ago to report this matter to the Divine Master, but there had been no news from the person he had sent!
When the elder heard this, he immediately wilted!
At this moment, elder Qi jumped out again and sent a voice transmission in anger,""Guild leader, I don"t understand why we are so afraid of Leng ruoxue. She"s only one person while we have so many people! Can"t you take her down?"
"What if she doesn"t only have her own?" Miao Jie reminded as he glanced at the brainless elder Qi.
This time, elder Qi did not dare to say anything! And secretly complained, that"s right! Legend had it that Leng ruoxue was extremely cunning. She shouldn"t have the guts to venture into The Tiger"s Den alone! Could it be that there was really an ambush outside the city? But when he returned to the city, he didn"t sense any stranger"s aura. Of course, he didn"t dare to say this out loud because he really didn"t dare to take the risk. If his words caused everyone to lower their guard against Leng ruoxue, wouldn"t he become the sinner of the mission a.s.sociation?
It had to be said that all the elders present had their own thoughts. None of them were willing to take the lead, and half an hour"s time pa.s.sed in a flash.
"Time"s Up, give me an answer!" Leng ruoxue smiled faintly.
"Miss Leng, can we have a proper talk?" Miao Jie didn"t dare to strain the relations.h.i.+p between the two parties, so he asked with a smile.
