âYup! Miss, please donât make things difficult for us. â An elder took the lead to speak.
âMiss, please show me your token.â Another elder chimed in.
âDo you really want to see my token?â After a long while, Leng ruoxue finally spoke calmly.
âWe just want to confirm your identity. We have no other intentions. Please donât misunderstand us.â Ning Xiang quickly explained.
âActually, itâs for your own good that I didnât let you see it. But since you all want to see it, then letâs see it together!â Leng ruoxue smiled faintly. After she finished speaking, she took out a black token from her ring and waved it in front of the elders ...
In an instant, all the elders were dumbfounded. After they came to their senses, they knelt on the ground and shouted,ââGreetings, patriarch!â
Looking at the ning family members kneeling on the ground, Leng ruoxue did not let them get up immediately. She looked at the token in her hand and said to the ning family members,ââDo you guys want to personally verify the authenticity of this token?â
âNo... No need! That brand is real. â An elder stammered in fear. They had sensed it the moment the token was shown, so they didnât dare to doubt that it was fake! Sob ... Now they really regretted it to death. Why did they have to see his identity token? If they didnât know that she was representing the family head, their lives would have been better. But now, they could only worship this young lady as if she was their ancestor!
âDo you all admit that itâs true?â Leng ruoxue asked with a smile. Her beautiful face was filled with worry.
âYes, yes.â Everyone in the ning family nodded like pounding garlic.
âGet up!â He said. Leng ruoxue only spoke up when she saw that most of them were already kneeling.
...
âThere are two people by my side. They have been locked up by young master Cai from your branch of the ning family ...â Leng ruoxue continued. However, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an unknown elder.
âActing patriarch, release him immediately.â The elder quickly said.
âI did, but he refused to come out.â Ning Fei said helplessly.
âUh! Why?â The elder was puzzled.
âI donât know,â Ning Fei felt helpless. He had already said that even if Ning Cai went to beg for forgiveness, he would not come out. So, he had no choice.
âMiss, what do you think we should do?â The elder asked with a fawning expression.
âYouâre the ones who locked him up. Youâre asking me, but who should I ask? Moreover, I can also tell you that one of those two is the armament Guildâs Grand Elder. â Leng ruoxue laughed evilly.
âAh!â The ning familyâs elders were collectively dumbfounded. The armament Guild headquarters âgreat elder was actually locked in the ning familyâs prison. What should they do?! All the ning familyâs descendants knew about the relationship between the great elder and the master! Iâm finished! This time, they had stirred up a hornetâs nest. For a moment, even the elders who were close to Ning Xiang couldnât help but blame Ning Xiang and his son!
âMiss, you have to put in a few good words for us!â Ning Fei said with a bitter face. He had long seen that the two old menâs identities were not ordinary, but he did not expect that one of them would actually be the great elder of the craftsmenâs Guild headquarters. If the main family found out about this, the good days of their line could be considered to be over.
âDonât worry, those two are people who clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges. They wonât involve the innocent. However, you still have to perform well. Otherwise, I canât guarantee that they wonât settle the score after this. â Leng ruoxue reminded him with a smile. In fact, her hint was very obvious, but she was not sure if ning Fei could hear it.
âDonât worry, miss. I know what to do. â Ning Fei quickly said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf thatâs the case, then you can go back first! If thereâs nothing important, donât bother me. â Leng ruoxue asked him to leave.
âMiss, youâre a member of the main family. You should stay in the main residence when you come to the divine mainland. How can you stay in a hotel? If news of this gets back to the main family, theyâll blame us for not being able to host you well. Why donât you come with us to the main residence?â The first elder said carefully. He still could not figure out this young ladyâs thoughts, so it was better to be more cautious.
âNo need, itâs good to stay at a hotel.â Leng ruoxue rejected.
âUh! Alright then! Weâll take our leave first. â Seeing how insistent Leng ruoxue was, first elder was helpless and left with his men.
After leaving, the ning familyâs first elder and the others went to the prison to see the two old men who were locked up. However, they didnât give them any good looks at all, so the ning family could only return to the main house resentfully.
The next day, the great elder of the ning family took Ning Cai to the prison again, but the two old men still only left them with their backs. After this incident, Ning Xiangâs status in the ning family plummeted, and even the elders who were usually won over by him didnât dare to have any contact with him ...
Ning Xiangâs courtyard.
In the room, Ning Xiang was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face. No one knew what he was thinking about, but none of his close friends dared to disturb him.
After a long time.
Seeing that Ning Xiangâs expression had softened a little, his beloved concubine dared to come forward and act coquettishly.
âOld master, donât be like this! Itâs quite scary, young master Cai is a good person and will be fine, donât worry. â His beloved concubine consoled him.
âHow can there be no problems? this time, Cai âer has offended the main family. Those old things who see the wind and sail with the helm are not willing to help Caiâ er.â Ning Xiangâs brows were tightly furrowed, and he was in a dilemma. Although he had many women, he only had one son. So, no matter what, he had to find a way to keep his sonâs position. Otherwise, wouldnât there be no one to inherit his family?
âMaster, since youâve offended someone from the main family, Iâm afraid those elders wonât be able to help even if they want to. In my opinion, you might as well go to the main family to mediate! Who knows, we might even be able to save young master Cai!â His concubine suggested.
âItâs easy to go to the main family to negotiate peace! With just the token in that young ladyâs hand, Iâm afraid no one from the main family would be willing to stand up for us!â Ning Xiang said gloomily.
âOld master, how would you know if you donât try! However, if you want to solve this matter, Iâm afraid that you can only ask the main familyâs direct line to come forward. If you can invite the young master, there might be room for this matter to turn around. â Said his beloved concubine after some thought.
