“Oh, tell him when the freak returns. I’m going back to my room.” Leng Ruoxue returned to her room after speaking.
The freak returned not long after she returned to her room.
“Where did you go?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“I’m going to prepare a gift for the Tenth Elder,” the freak confessed.
“What gift?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help asking.
“Hehe!” The freak smiled evilly and then whispered something in Leng Ruoxue’s ear.
“You’re too evil, but I like it,” Leng Ruoxue praised.
“Hmph! How can I let him go if he dares to bully my woman!” the freak said resentfully, the killing intent in his eyes flas.h.i.+ng for a moment.
“Freak, I won’t let him die too easily,” Leng Ruoxue said. Well! Who knew who the Leng family would be lured out by beating up the Tenth Elder this time? She was really looking forward to it!
“Yes.” The freak nodded.
On the other side, Third Elder had already returned to the Leng family’s main residence with the Tenth Elder.
“Third Elder, what are they carrying? Why is it so stinky?” They happened to meet the Fifth Elder who had just returned after entering the Leng family’s main residence.
“Oh! It’s the Tenth Elder,” Third Elder said speechlessly. He didn’t know whose beast it was, but it actually got a pile of feces and collapsed on the Tenth Elder, so the Tenth Elder became like this stinky appearance. Alas! It was really too pitiful. He felt some pity for the Tenth Elder now even though their relations.h.i.+p was not good.
“No way! Did you make a mistake?” The Fifth Elder covered his nose and said in disbelief. At the same time, he was a little puzzled. Why was the Tenth Elder carried back? What happened! He was so curious!
“I saw it with my own eyes. How can I be mistaken? That is indeed the Tenth Elder.” Third Elder promised.
“But what happened to the Tenth Elder?” The Fifth Elder’s face was full of gossip as he probed reluctantly.
“Beaten up,” Third Elder gloated.
“Uh! No way? Who’s so powerful! How dare they beat up an elder of the Leng family in our Proud Cold City?” the Fifth Elder said abnormally excitedly.
“Leng Ruoxue and her subordinates,” Third Elder whispered.
“Oh! The younger generation will surpa.s.s us in time! However, they will probably be in trouble if they dare to attack in Proud Cold City,” the Fifth Elder said with a sigh. Then he was a little worried, but he was more excited because Leng Ruoxue and the others had done what he had always wanted to do but hadn’t done!
“Erm… It’s hard to say. I’ll go see the patriarch. Fifth Elder, help me gather the elders,” Third Elder said to Fifth Elder. Then he ordered the guards carrying the Tenth Elder behind him, “Go and do whatever you need to do after sending the Tenth Elder back to his residence!”
“Yes!” the guards answered and then carried the stinky Tenth Elder to his residence.
In the meeting hall.
The huge living room was soon full of elders and offerings as the elders arrived one by one.
“Third Elder, tell me what happened!” Leng Yimin said speechlessly when he saw that everyone was here. Alas! He really didn’t expect this to happen. This… made him a little at a loss for what to do.
“Okay.” Third Elder nodded. Then he stood up and embellished the story of the tenth elder being beaten up. Anyway, according to him, what he said implied that the tenth elder handled the matter improperly, so the other party couldn’t take it anymore and beat him up.
After hearing what the Third Elder said, Leng Yimin, the elders, and the Guardians didn’t say anything for a while, and the atmosphere instantly became depressed.
“Why aren’t you talking anymore?” Third Elder said knowingly to the advisor. He couldn’t deny that he was a little dumbfounded at that time! However, he had to pretend to be mute if he didn’t speak!
“Patriarch, this Leng Ruoxue is really too much. She actually dared to beat up an elder of the Leng family. We have to punish her severely. Otherwise, how can we convince the public in the future!” A Consecrator who had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Tenth Elder was the first to speak.
“Patriarch, this matter was indeed handled improperly by the Tenth Elder. As an elder of the Leng family who was virtuous and respected, how can he look up to the Leng family from the lower realm! His behavior is so disappointing! Oh! Oh right, I think everyone must want to know who the improper Leng family the Tenth Elder mentioned is, right?” the Fifth Elder said softly.
“Fifth Elder, how can the Tenth Elder say such things? It’s up to you not to listen to the wind,” an old man said again.
“Does Eleventh Elder mean that I’m framing the Tenth Elder? Why don’t we invite the Tenth Elder and Leng Ruoxue to confront each other! Familiar or not, I believe everyone’s eyes are clear,” Third Elder said calmly.
“Third Elder, you’re mistaken. I didn’t say that you framed the Tenth Elder,” the Eleventh Elder said hurriedly.
“But that’s what you mean!” Third Elder said stubbornly.
“Stop arguing. I called you here to discuss something, not to let you bicker,” Leng Yimin said uncontrollably. Many of these elders were of higher seniority than him, so it was really difficult to manage!
The elders tactfully shut their mouths after hearing Leng Yimin’s words.
“Grand Elder, what do you think we should do about this?” Leng Yimin turned to the young man beside him.
“You are the patriarch. You can decide what to do,” the Grand Elder said irresponsibly. Then he drank his tea and ignored Leng Yimin.
Leng Yimin was depressed. What could he do? Would he still be worried if he knew? Alas! If he had known earlier, he shouldn’t have sent the Tenth Elder to arrange for Leng Ruoxue and the others. That old man kept causing trouble for him. He was really incompetent!
“Patriarch, you have to uphold justice for my father!” A sobbing woman’s voice drifted in just as Leng Yimin was feeling abnormally depressed. Immediately after, a white-clothed woman stumbled into the meeting hall.
“What are you doing here? Hurry up and go back.” Leng Yimin’s head immediately hurt when he saw this teary and weak woman.
“Patriarch, you have to seek justice for my father. Otherwise, I’ll kill myself in this meeting hall,” the white-clothed woman threatened with tears in her beautiful eyes.
