“Arrange for him to enter the forbidden area? Second elder, you’re no longer an elder of the ning family. Do you still have this right?” Leng ruoxue asked curiously with a smirk on her face.

“Wretched girl! You’re trying to anger me, right?” When second elder heard Leng ruoxue’s words, he was so angry that he glared and gritted his teeth.

“What do you think?” Leng ruoxue pretended to be mysterious. That’s right, she was doing it on purpose to anger him!

“Do I need to say it? You’re clearly trying to anger me!” The second elder roared in anger. Actually, he did not think that he was a hot-tempered person. However, every time he faced Leng ruoxue, he would be angered to the point of stomping his feet. Who asked Leng ruoxue to have the ability to anger people to death?

“However, even if I’m not an elder of the ning family, I’m still one of the few reverent-god level cultivators in the ning family. No one dares to look down on me!” The second elder added in anger.

“I can see that.” Leng ruoxue agreed. If this old man wasn’t a reverent-God, he wouldn’t have been removed from his position as an elder. Those elders would still treat him as the second elder. Of course, this was with the exception of some short-sighted servants in the ning family.

“Then you don’t have any doubts about my words, right?” The second elder said proudly.

“I didn’t doubt your words at first!” Leng ruoxue blinked her beautiful eyes and said with an innocent look.

“You ...” Second elder was so angry at Leng ruoxue that he could not speak. He could only open his large eyes and glare at her fiercely.

“Second elder, do you want to restore your position?” At this moment, Leng ruoxue released another bait and whispered.

“Of course I want to! But the master isn’t here, and it’s not even certain if he’ll restore my position!” The second elder said unconfidently. He had experienced the so-called fickleness of human relationships in the first few days after he was dismissed. However, it had been so long, so he was much calmer.

“Have you forgotten? Godfather once said that what I say is equivalent to what he says.” Leng ruoxue reminded.

“You’re saying ... You’re going to restore my position?” After second elder heard Leng ruoxue’s words, he was extremely agitated and grabbed Leng ruoxue’s wrist tightly. However, when he felt an icy cold gaze shooting towards him, he let go of his hand in embarrassment.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just a little excited.” The second elder explained in embarrassment.

“Hehe! I do have that idea, but I’m afraid that some of the elders will oppose it. Of course, I’m not against you, but I’m afraid that my words won’t have that much of an effect on some of the elders. ” Leng ruoxue said calmly. She was giving second elder a heads-up in advance. After all, with the current situation in the ning family, she really needed someone with weight to stand on her side. Even though they didn’t have to listen to her every word, they couldn’t go against her and drag her down.

“That’s a big problem. ” The second elder said with a frown. The ning family had been passed down for a long time, and there were naturally many elders. Furthermore, they were involved in many interests, and not all of the elders were of one mind. Thus, it was easy to imagine how much weight Leng ruoxue’s words held in the hearts of those elders. If the family head was here, some of the elders might not dare to oppose Leng ruoxue’s words too obviously. Unfortunately, the family head’s whereabouts were unknown. However, this matter concerned his position in the ning family. Therefore, he would never allow anyone to secretly sabotage him!

“Second elder! As for how to communicate with those stubborn elders, that’s your problem. Moreover, I’m not afraid to tell you clearly that after you’re restored to your position, you must be in agreement with me on this matter. Other than that, you can do whatever you want. ” Leng ruoxue thought about it and decided to say the ugly words first. This would be good for both parties.

“I understand! I’ll definitely listen to you. ” Second elder promised. Although he didn’t dare to say that he completely trusted Leng ruoxue, at least he wouldn’t deliberately go against her. In other words, Leng ruoxue was slowly subduing him. It was just that he hadn’t realized this yet.

“Then you should settle them first!” Leng ruoxue used her eyes to signal to the elders who were not far away.

“They don’t need to be settled!” The second elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself,”you’ve already dealt with those old fogeys, so why would I need to go out?” He believed that out of all the elders by Leng ruoxue’s side, none of them would dare to oppose her words directly!

“Since you’re so confident, let’s go back to the main residence quickly! When the time comes, we’ll wait and see. ” Leng ruoxue said softly.

“En!” The second elder nodded. Then, everyone quickened their pace and walked in the direction of the ning family’s main residence.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the main house, third elder came out with some of the ning family members to welcome them.

“Second brother! Long time no see. ” The grey-robed third elder said coldly.

“Third brother! I didn’t expect you to come out of seclusion. ” The second elder said, pretending to be surprised.

“Yup!” The third elder nodded and turned to look at Ning Yan. He glanced at him coldly and then turned to look at Leng ruoxue.

Was this little girl the adopted daughter of the master? She was indeed a rare beauty. However, she was too weak. He couldn’t understand why the master would acknowledge such a weak goddaughter and give her such a high status. This fact made him extremely jealous. After all, he was the master’s son! However, in the family head’s heart, he definitely could not compare to this girl who had no blood relations with the family head. At the thought of this, his gaze towards Leng ruoxue became colder and colder. There was even a hint of hostility in it.

While third elder was sizing up Leng ruoxue without any restraint, Leng ruoxue was also sizing him up without restraint.

This old man was also a Hierarch, but his aura was obviously weaker than the second elder ‘s. As for now, his strength was even less comparable to the second elder’ s. However, his shrewd eyes were very similar to her Godfather ‘s, but when her Godfather looked at her, his eyes were gentle, while this third elder’s eyes were quite unfriendly. Had she offended him before? Leng ruoxue’s heart was filled with doubt.

“Little girl! Ning Shan ‘er is his descendant, and he dotes on her a lot. So, be careful when you’re alone. ” The second elder suddenly sent a voice transmission to Leng ruoxue.

“I know.” Replied Leng ruoxue. Then, she turned to look at third elder. Could it be that this old man had only listened to Ning Shan ‘er’s one-sided story and had already blacklisted her? If that was the case, she could only say that the third elder was an elder who liked to act on his emotions. One had to know that there were different things to protect one’s shortcomings. Blindly protecting one’s shortcomings would only pamper arrogant and domineering descendants. As time passed, this family would not be far from destruction.

“You’re Leng ruoxue?” Third elder said to Leng ruoxue after examining her.

“Yes, I am!” Leng ruoxue nodded and did not continue.

“I heard that you’re quite capable to be able to coax the master to listen to your every word.” The third elder said with jealousy.

“Who did third elder hear this from? How come I didn’t know that Godfather always listens to me?” Leng ruoxue’s beautiful face was filled with astonishment. Her beautiful eyes widened as she asked in disbelief.

“Isn’t this something that all the ning family members know?” The third elder’s mouth twitched as he spoke in an unfriendly manner.

“Second elder! Did you guys hear that too?” When Leng ruoxue heard third elder’s words, she turned to ask second elder and the rest.

“I’ve never heard of it. ” The second elder said very seriously.

“We’ve never heard of it either. ” The other elders hurriedly echoed and looked at the third elder with a hint of resentment. They thought in their hearts,”isn’t the third elder trying to harm us?” This wretched girl was very vengeful. If they didn’t stand on her side, who knew what she would do to them after this! Sob ... They were afraid!

“Have you all been bribed by her? What benefits did she give you to make you speak up for her?” When third elder saw second elder and the rest speaking up for Leng ruoxue, he could not help but roar in anger.

“Third elder! We’re telling the truth! When we left the ning family, we really didn’t hear of such a thing. ” The seventh elder said with an aggrieved expression. Even though it was true that the family head was biased towards Leng ruoxue, it was not to the point where he would listen to her every word, right? Moreover, based on his understanding of Leng ruoxue, he knew that this girl wasn’t someone who didn’t know her limits. It was impossible for her to make unreasonable requests of the family head. More importantly, the family head wasn’t a fool. How could he allow others to manipulate him?

“You didn’t hear it, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t hear it!” The third elder gritted his teeth in anger. Then, he continued,””You’ve come back just in time. The ning family needs you now. ”

After that, he turned around and walked into the main residence.

Seeing this, the second elder and the others sighed and followed him into the main residence.

After some slight adjustments, the elders gathered in the meeting hall.

However, when third elder walked into the meeting hall and saw Leng ruoxue, his stern face revealed a trace of dissatisfaction.

“Our ning family’s elders have important matters to discuss, what is she joining in the fun for?” The third elder pointed at Leng ruoxue and said impolitely.
