“What? Are you mute? Weren’t you pretty sharp-tongued just now?” the middle-aged man couldn’t help mocking Leng Ruoxue when she didn’t say anything for a while.
“Isn’t that so? Let’s take you as an example! Perhaps your seniority is higher than the person sitting here, but what about your strength? Many people here are about the same strength as you, right? If I remember correctly, this world seems to speak of strength. It’s useless if you don’t have extraordinary strength and only want to use seniority to pressure others. There will probably be more people who obey but disobey in secret. Of course, if you have the aura of an outstanding b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I believe no one will dare to disobey you. However, do you have it?” Leng Ruoxue said calmly. Hmph! Did she really think she would be afraid just because she found an old ant? It was just a Mystic Supremacy. She and the freak could deal with him without anyone needing to do anything.
Everyone present, including Leng Jingmu, couldn’t help taking a deep breath after hearing Leng Ruoxue’s words because none of them expected this young girl to be so bold. One had to know that the middle-aged man who spoke just now had a very high seniority in the clan, so even though that person’s character was not good, Leng Ruoxue was absolutely the first person among the younger generation to dare to speak to him like this. And with that person’s character of taking revenge for flaws, Leng Ruoxue was probably going to be unlucky.
Immediately, everyone looked at Leng Ruoxue with pity, pity, and something indescribable.
“Okay! Okay! La.s.s, I hope you can always be so bold! Hmph!” The middle-aged man suppressed the anger in his heart and then looked at Leng Jingmu with an unfriendly gaze.
“Uncle, why are you here?” Leng Jingmu braced himself. He had always hated this uncle, but he didn’t want to provoke him. After all, one shouldn’t offend a hypocrite even if they wanted to offend a real despicable person. His uncle was a hypocrite, so he had always avoided him if possible and never went head-on with him!
“Hmph! Of course you want me to never appear. If I didn’t come, who knows when our Leng family would have such an unfilial descendant!” the middle-aged man said coldly, the light in his eyes shooting at Leng Ruoxue like a sharp sword.
Leng Ruoxue sat down directly as if she didn’t see it. The middle-aged man’s gaze became even more obscure when she sat down.
“Uncle, why bother with me?” Leng Jingmu advised helplessly, large drops of sweat flowing down his forehead.
“Jingmu, let me ask you, what crime is it to disrespect your elders in the Leng family?” The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and asked lightly.
“Erm…” Leng Jingmu was in a dilemma. He knew that his uncle wanted to use his seniority to suppress Leng Ruoxue, but he was helpless because there was indeed such a rule in the Leng family’s rules.
“Rumei, tell me!” The middle-aged man turned his gaze to Leng Rumei in the corner.
“In response to Old Ancestor, those who are disrespectful to their elders will be exiled or expelled from the clan,” Leng Rumei said proudly. Hmph! She knew that getting the Old Ancestor to settle Leng Ruoxue was a trivial matter. Her so-called expulsion naturally referred to death!
“Did you hear that? Yimin, do you need me to teach you what to do?” The middle-aged man’s venomous gaze landed on the current patriarch, Leng Yimin.
“Erm…” Leng Yimin looked at his father, conflicted.
“Haha! Old Man, I think you’re mistaken. I’m not from the Leng family, so your family rules are useless to me,” Leng Ruoxue said with some amus.e.m.e.nt. Alas! What kind of people were these! How could they be so self-righteous! However, she finally gained knowledge today.
“How dare you disown your ancestors as a member of the Leng family! Guards, arrest this unfilial junior and await your punishment!” After the middle-aged man roared, many guards ran in, and the guards who entered were naturally his guards.
“Uncle, I’m afraid that’s not appropriate!” Leng Jingmu reminded with a frown.
“What’s wrong with that? It will probably be difficult to explain to the people in the clan if we don’t deal with Leng Ruoxue today,” the middle-aged man said resolutely.
“Old Man, what reason do you want to deal with me?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a light smile. Well! This welcome banquet was really lively! She was very satisfied.
“Isn’t it enough that you disobey your elders and don’t respect them?” the middle-aged man said.
“Of course not. Seems like you’re really old. You forgot what I said so quickly. I told you, I’m not from the Leng family!” Leng Ruoxue reminded with a smile.
“It’s a capital crime not to admit that you are a member of the Leng family,” the middle-aged man said fiercely.
“What? Only the Leng family can deny us, but we can’t deny the Leng family? What kind of logic is that!” Leng Ruoxue asked with a smile.
“By the way, do you want to add the crime of me hitting the Tenth Elder?” Leng Ruoxue reminded again.
“That’s right. You also injured an elder of the De Gao w.a.n.g family, so you will be punished with several crimes!” the middle-aged man said with a nod.
“Leng Xing! You’re really becoming more and more promising. You even bullied a little girl.” At this moment, another voice sounded in everyone’s ears.
Everyone’s jaws almost fell to the ground when they saw this. Uh! What day was it today! Why did it alarm the Grand Elder who never partic.i.p.ated in any banquet? This fellow was of a higher generation and was more difficult to deal with than the previous one.
“Leng Qianye, what are you doing here!” The middle-aged man named Leng Xing had a headache when he saw the Grand Elder.
“Leng Xing, how dare you call me by my name! Guards! Arrest this disrespectful fellow and await punishment!” Leng Qianye also shouted out of the hall in the same way, and then more guards ran in than before.
“Leng Qianye, how dare you!” Leng Xing roared furiously.
“How dare you? Why wouldn’t I dare? Did I bully you?” Leng Qianye’s face was full of innocence, and tears seemed to be flowing in his eyes.
“Okay, I was wrong. I won’t let anyone capture Leng Ruoxue,” Leng Xing admitted defeat. Leng Qianye was obviously on Leng Ruoxue’s side. He really couldn’t understand how Leng Ruoxue caught Leng Qianye’s eye after only coming to the clan for a few days. He really didn’t dare to touch Leng Ruoxue with this fellow backing her up. Alas! He was depressed! He miscalculated!
