âWell ... He did it because he didnât know your identity,â Ning Dong stammered. In fact, even he felt that this reason was unreasonable, but he finally knew the reason for the second elderâs anger. Thinking of this, he secretly glared at his subordinate. Useless thing, he had long been warned to be careful in the ning familyâs main residence, but he still caused such a thing for him.
âYou donât know my identity? What is my status? Iâm just a clan member who has been demoted, sigh! Arenât many people good at kicking people when theyâre down?â The second elder sighed, his face filled with disappointment.
âYour strength is clear for all to see! No one in the ning family would dare to disrespect you. â Ning Dong said with a smile.
âDonât give me that! I wonât let this thing go even if you say all the good things you want to say. â The second elder said stubbornly.
âThen what will it take for you to let him go?â Ning Dong asked carefully with a bitter face.
âIâve already said that I donât intend to let him off!â The second elder was getting impatient. Was he not clear enough? He actually asked again!
âSecond brother! Why get angry with a servant?â At this moment, another voice was heard.
The second elder and Ning Dong both knew who the owner of the voice was. Instantly, a hint of joy emerged in Ning Dongâs heart, but the second elder did not even raise his head.
âSecond brother! Give me some face and let him off!â The third elder pointed at the muscular man who was lying on the ground and unable to resist.
âHow much is your face worth?â The second elder said in an unpleasant tone.
âSecond brother!â The third elder walked over and pulled the second elder to the side. He whispered,ââSecond brother! Give me some face! Ning Dong is still in the trial stage, and that man is his confidant. If we lose him, wouldnât it be letting others have their way?â
âWhat does that have to do with me?â The second elder didnât think much of it.
âSecond brother! Iâm begging you! I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just say the word and Iâll do my best. â The third elder lowered his posture and tried to please him.
âDonât tell me heâs going to let me off just like that for the crimes Iâve committed and the beating of my clansmen? Oh right, he also asked me to kowtow and apologize to Ning Xi âerâs attendant. Is Ning Xi âerâs servant worthy of the same treatment as our ancestor?â The second elder complained.
âSecond brother! Iâll get him to kowtow to you as an apology, and I can also hand over Ning Xi âerâs attendant to you. What do you think?â The third elder stated his conditions.
âThird brother! Iâm not here to look for trouble. Iâm here to get my food, but after waiting in line for more than an hour, itâs still not my turn. Those behind me have already gotten their food. What do you think this is? âI didnât get these dishes for myself. Theyâre for that damned head. Itâs almost noon. If I delay her meal and cause her to go hungry, I donât know if sheâll say something to the head of the family.â Also, if Iâm not mistaken, that substitute Butler Ning Dong is one of your men, right? Do you think he can pass the trial with his work efficiency?â The second elder said with a smile that was not a smile. In the eyes of the third elder, his smug look was a threat, a Fox exploiting the Tigerâs might!
âSecond brother! Iâll ask Ning Dong to bring the food to you immediately, and you donât have to come to pick up the food in person from tomorrow onwards. Iâll ask Ning Dong to send it to the back of the mountain for you. Is that okay?â The third elder coaxed him while secretly scolding the second elder for being a sly old fox. He had actually used Leng ruoxue to shut him up! Even though he was the third elder, he really couldnât afford to offend Leng ruoxue, who had been given special privileges by the great ancestor. Think about it, because of that woman, even the second elder was fired. If he really offended Leng ruoxue, how good would his end be? Moreover, his cultivation was not even as high as the second elder âs.
âDo you think the back mountain is your own back garden? Is that a place where anyone can enter? Besides, taking the food is one of my jobs, you canât take it away from me. â The second elder sneered.
âUh!â The third elder didnât expect his second brother to be so difficult to deal with today. Did he take the wrong medicine?
He had wanted to say that he could hand the food over to the guards at the entrance of the forbidden area, but the second elder insisted that he could not deprive him of his job of collecting food. What else could he say?
The third elder fell silent. His shrewd eyes seemed to be filled with hidden bitterness as he stared at the second elder.
Just as they were looking at each other affectionately, Leng ruoxue brought along some grapes and lotus seeds. She walked over slowly and elegantly from the small path.
In that instant, second elder and third elderâs hearts were in their throats. Under such circumstances, they did not wish to see Leng ruoxue, but they could not pretend that they did not see her.
Although the rest of the people present knew Leng ruoxueâs identity, they were not very clear about how much power the master had given Leng ruoxue. This was something only the higher-ups of the ning family knew.
Leng ruoxueâs beautiful eyes flickered as she scanned the current situation. She then smiled and said,ââSecond elder, why do you take so long to collect the food?â
âI, Iâm in line! There are too many people!â The second elder was extremely embarrassed and resentful. Wu.....Why did this damned girl come?
âYouâre not done?â Leng ruoxue laughed lightly, a cold glint flashing across her beautiful eyes.
âIâm done! Ning Dong! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and give the food to the second elder!â The third elder spoke before the second elder could. He just wanted to send this young lady away as soon as possible. Otherwise, someone would be in trouble.
âOh! Yes!â Ning Dong noticed third elderâs eye signals and knew that he could not afford to offend this woman. Therefore, he wanted to send Leng ruoxue away as soon as possible as he could already guess her identity.
In an instant, Ning Dong ran into the kitchen and came out again. Then, he put the storage ring in the second elderâs hand and quickly stood to the side, trying to keep his presence as low as possible. He kept muttering in his heart,âjust pretend I donât exist!â Iâm begging you ...
