“I think it’s very appropriate for you to go into seclusion right now. Besides, I’m not arrogant enough to think that I can solve the ning family’s current problem.” Leng ruoxue laughed lightly and said in a calm manner.

“Since you can’t solve it yourself, what makes you think it’s appropriate for me to go into seclusion now?” The third elder roared in anger. From his point of view, Leng ruoxue was clearly here to cause trouble. To think that Ning Yuan and ning haolan had agreed to let someone inform Leng ruoxue of this matter. Now, he was glad that he had stopped their decision. However, who knew that Ning Yan would secretly run out and bring Leng ruoxue to the divine world? however, he did not agree to this. Therefore, if something really happened to the ning family, he would not be the one to be the sinner of the ning family!

“It doesn’t matter if I can’t solve it myself. Don’t I still have the help of the second and seventh elders? They’ve been in contact with the ning family’s Affairs for so many years, so their ability to handle things must be above yours. With their help, what are you worried about?” Leng ruoxue asked indifferently.

“Second elder is no longer an elder of the ning family, so naturally, he can’t interfere with the ning family’s Affairs.” Gritting his teeth, the third elder took a few more deep breaths before replying. Right now, he could only make an issue out of the second elder.

“Oh, really? Then I’ll restore the position of second elder right now. Do you have any objections?” Leng ruoxue’s beautiful eyes swept across the elders present as she asked in an extremely cold tone.

At this moment, the second elder’s deep eyes swept across the elders, scaring them so much that no one dared to make a sound.

Actually, they were in a difficult position. If they agreed with Leng ruoxue’s words, they would definitely offend the third elder. If they disagreed with Leng ruoxue’s words, the person they would offend would be Leng ruoxue. Leng ruoxue might be a powerful Dragon, but third elder was a local tyrant! Since ancient times, it had been difficult for a powerful Dragon to suppress a local snake. Hence, it was difficult for them to answer this question. After all, it was not a wise move to offend Leng ruoxue or the third elder. Hence, they could only remain silent.

“Since no one objects, that means they agree!” Leng ruoxue nodded in satisfaction.

“Wait! They didn’t even say anything, how could they agree?” The third elder quickly stopped him.

“But they didn’t object, did they? Moreover, everyone knew that silence meant consent. Did he want to treat their silence as a silent protest? If that’s the case, I’ll have to make them give me a reason!” Leng ruoxue said stubbornly.

“Elders! The third elder has an opinion, so don’t keep silent! Tell me your thoughts!” Leng ruoxue urged again.

“I don’t have any objections,” The seventh elder was the first to speak.

“I have no objections either!” The elders who had returned from the godly mainland with them all expressed their opinions. These elders made up about half of the elders present, so their words carried a lot of weight.

“What about you guys?” Leng ruoxue’s gaze then swept towards the other elders. These elders who were left behind in the ning family were basically the type who would only listen to orders. Their strength was that they were obedient! However, its biggest weakness was that it was obedient. To put it bluntly, it didn’t have its own opinions and just followed the crowd.

Hearing Leng ruoxue’s question, a few of the more timid ones immediately expressed their agreement. As for the elders who had yet to express their agreement, when they saw the situation and received the message from the second elder, Qiu Bo, they nodded their heads like pounding garlic.

When the third elder saw this, his heart was filled with hatred. However, he was even angrier that these elders were fence sitters. Under Leng ruoxue’s threats and promises, all of them had agreed. In this case, if he were to object, he would have offended the second elder badly.

Knowing the second elder’s vengeful personality, the third elder was naturally unwilling to face the second elder’s anger directly. Therefore, he had no choice but to agree,””Since all the elders have agreed, then I have no more objections.” As he said this, the third elder was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. It seemed like Leng ruoxue really lived up to her reputation! He was really a troublesome fellow.

“Second elder! All the elders present have agreed. From now on, your position as the second elder is restored. ” Leng ruoxue immediately announced the moment the third elder finished speaking. She had not expected that restoring the second elder’s position would be so much easier than she had imagined. However, she was well aware that this was definitely not due to her efforts.

“Miss Leng, now that the ning family is in a critical period, I should take on the responsibility as the second elder of the ning family. However, the elders present are only a part of the ning family, after all. Some of them have not returned yet, and the master has not truly agreed to this matter. I think I’d better take over the position of the second elder for the time being and wait for the master to come back to make a decision!” The second elder thought for a moment and said. It wasn’t that he was being unreasonable and didn’t want to restore his position as an elder, but he didn’t want to leave others with a chance to gossip. Therefore, he also played hard to get!

“Second elder is really reasonable. Let’s do as second elder says! However, even though the second elder is only a temporary substitute, his power and status are still above yours. The second elder will still be in charge of the elder Council, unless the great elder returns. ” Leng ruoxue chuckled as she added.

“Yes!” The elders did not have any doubts about this. In fact, they were used to being controlled by the second elder.

“Third elder! I don’t know how much you know about Godfather and the others, but you should report it to us!” After the second elder’s matter was settled easily, Leng ruoxue turned her gaze towards the depressed third elder.

“Didn’t Ning Yan already tell you?” The third elder was a little angry. F * ck! His position in the ning family, besides the master, was second only to the first elder and the second elder. This kind of small matter of reporting actually had to be done by him. Just thinking about it made him feel angry! This Leng ruoxue was clearly treating him as a Messenger!

“Ning Yan said what he said. Now, we want to hear what you have to say. You know, the same words come from different people, and they have completely different meanings. So, we want to hear your opinion.” Leng ruoxue laughed evilly.

“What’s wrong? Have you forgotten, third elder?” Leng ruoxue asked with a smile when she saw third elder not uttering a word and only frowning at her.

“I didn’t forget!” The third elder gritted his teeth in anger. This woman was really more than just detestable. He had lived for so long, but he had never been angered to the point of being speechless! Yet, Leng ruoxue had done it.

“Then tell me!” Leng ruoxue picked up the teacup on the table beside her and took a light sip.

“I’m not the first one to know about this. If you want to hear it, I’ll repeat it to you.” The third elder said. His words were said with great skill and were also very cunning. This was because he had also heard it from someone else. If Leng ruoxue wanted to find fault with him, she would naturally not be able to find him!

“If you’re just repeating it, then you’d better not say it. However, I’d like to know how third elder, who is in seclusion, found out about this?” Leng ruoxue asked curiously.

“Of course, someone informed me.” The third elder’s face turned red with anger as he huffed.

“Which one of you informed third elder?” Hearing third elder’s words, Leng ruoxue did not directly ask him who that person was. Instead, she asked the other elders present.

“Does it matter who it is?” The third elder roared in anger. He couldn’t understand what Leng ruoxue meant. He was confused.

“It’s not that important. I’m just curious.” Leng ruoxue explained indifferently. Actually, this matter could be said to be important or not important. It all depended on how she saw it. The reason why she wanted to get to the bottom of this was because she felt that third elder’s exit from his closed-door cultivation was a little strange. Among the elders who were in closed-door cultivation, only third elder had come out. No one had informed the other elders. This was a little unbelievable and illogical!

“Miss Leng! We didn’t inform third elder!” At this time, an elder spoke.

“Oh! Why didn’t you send someone to inform them?” Leng ruoxue asked in confusion. Furthermore, she was referring to them.

“Because the patriarch once said that unless it’s a matter of life and death for the family, no one is allowed to disturb the elders who are in seclusion. Although two elders have died and the patriarch’s whereabouts are unknown, the patriarch and the others have not died, so we can’t panic. More importantly, if they all come out of seclusion, it will cause panic and suspicion in the family. We can’t take that risk.” The elder explained, and at the same time, he secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. It could be seen how nervous he was at this time.

“So that’s how it is! Third elder, what do you say?” After hearing the elder’s words, Leng ruoxue asked about third elder.

“I have nothing to say. They were not the ones who informed me, but I will not tell you who it was.” The third elder said directly. He finally understood Leng ruoxue’s meaning. However, he would not let her have her way.
