C54 The Inner Court's Verbal War
C54 The Inner Court's Verbal War
"You guys just wait to start a war with our two families." Lan Zhenfeng nodded. Then he made up his mind.
If it was just the Lan family, Lan Zhenfeng would never dare to provoke the dignity of the Ling family like this. But now, he was standing on the same boat as the Lee family. Could it be that the two families were afraid that they would not be able to deal with the Ling family?
"Wait!
"Hold on!!
Two voices sounded at the same time. One was from Ling Xiao, and the other was from Second Elder.
"What else do you have to say?" Lee Zhongqian asked.
Ling Xiao ignored Ling Mo. He looked at Lee Zhongqian and asked, "Do you plan to leave just like that? It doesn't seem right. "
"What? You don't have the ability to keep me here. Or is the Ling family planning to use a lot of people to bully me?" Lee Zhongqian looked at Ling Xiao. He really couldn't understand why this kid was so arrogant. Could it be that he was so arrogant just because he became the disciple of the elder of the Ling Family?
"Ling Xiao, you don't have the right to speak here. Shut up!" Second Elder harrumphed coldly at Ling Xiao.
"If I don't have the right to speak, you guys shouldn't have called me here. " I'm leaving. You don't have to see me off. " Ling Xiao had already seen through Ling Mo's ambition. He pretended to leave.
Second Elder was unhappy. He said loudly, "Impudent! How dare you talk to your elders like this! Yesterday, you killed the granddaughter of the patriarch of Lee family and the grandson of the Lan family's patriarch. Do you know your crimes?
Ling Xiao turned around and looked at Second Elder with a playful expression. Then, he looked at the expressions of the elders around him and suddenly burst into laughter. "Ha! If you want to punish me, you don't have to worry about not being able to find a crime. " You all want me to kill myself in front of these two old men!
"Ling Xiao, don't be impulsive. Tell me clearly. I will always support you." Ling Cang saw that Ling Xiao did not have any help. He felt a strong shock in his heart. He could not let Ling Xiao be in any danger anymore. After saying that, he left the chief seat and came to Ling Xiao's side in an instant. He was afraid that Ling Xiao wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and would commit suicide.
Ling Xiao felt warm in his heart when he heard Ling Cang protecting him without caring about anything. He thought that Ling Cang still had some humanity in him. In the past two years, Ling Cang had never been to their house. Ling Xiao had a grudge against master in his heart. Now, that grudge had completely vanished.
"Don't worry, grandpa. I don't want to kill myself." Ling Xiao looked at Ling Cang and said emotionally. Then he looked at Second Elder and said, " Second Elder, I know you and Fifth Elder don't like our family. You all want to replace my grandpa."
Second Elder was stunned. Then, his eyes revealed a deep killing intent as he said, "Boy, you dare to slander me?
Not only did Second Elder's expression turn ugly, but all the elders of the Ling family on the scene had their expressions constantly changing. Everyone knew that Second Elder wanted to replace Ling Cang, but no one dared to say it out loud. Now that Ling Xiao had said it out in front of everyone, did this mean that Ling Cang and Second Elder were going to have a falling out?
"I didn't slander you. Let me ask you why you helped outsiders to deal with me. You clearly know that I am the patriarch, grandson." Ling Xiao stared straight at Second Elder. He circulated the Trisection Origin Returning Qi in his body to resist Second Elder's Qi.
"Can the patriarch's eldest grandson do whatever he wants? No matter who made a mistake in the Ling family, he has to take responsibility for it. You killed the people of the Lee and Lan families, and you want to start the war between the three families. You are the sinner of the family." Second Elder stared at Ling Xiao with a cold smile.
Haha, then you want to punish me without asking right or wrong? If the people from the two families catch your wife and daughter to prostitution, then... Will you not take any action and allow others to humiliate them? And for the sake of the so-called family interests, do not act arrogantly?" Ling Xiao asked with a laugh. His words were forceful and forceful, and he didn't fear Second Elder in the slightest.
"I'm going to kill you!" No matter how well-educated Second Elder was, Ling Xiao had touched his bottom line again and again. He wanted to kill Ling Xiao with one palm strike.
What this kid said was like slapping his old face. Even as the patriarch, Ling Cang dared not speak to him like this. This made him unable to bear it any longer.
Ling Xiao quickly hid behind Ling Cang. He even raised his head to shout. "Murder!
Everyone present was an elder of the Ling family. They all looked at Ling Xiao speechlessly. He was too bold. He dared to insult Second Elder in public.
At this time, the Fifth Elder spoke. Ling Cang, you have heard it. Ling Xiao actually insulted Second Elder in public. He is clearly looking down on the elders. Fourth Elder, how do you think you should punish Ling Xiao?
Fourth Elder pondered for a moment. He stole a glance at Ling Cang and said indifferently, "Change his arm and warn him that if he committed another crime like this, he will abolish his profound strength and expel him from the family.
"Heh, what a big crime. Didn't you all hear that just now? I only said 'if', but I didn't say it was the truth. This is not looking down on the elders." Ling Xiao said with a smile. He didn't look scared at all.
"You can't just say 'if'. Fourth Elder, do you want to punish Ling Xiao first?" The Fifth Elder urged, clearly not taking Ling Cang seriously.
Recently, Second Elder and Fifth Elder had been having a hard time. It was mainly because Ling Xiao had been accepted by Grand Elder as a new disciple. The faction led by Ling Cang was quite proud of themselves. Every time they met in the Elders' Meeting, they would always suppress them. Now was the time to attack Ling Cang's faction. Of course, it would be best if they could get rid of this Stinking Brat.
"Bah! I can't say 'if' to the elders. Do they only allow the elders to sentence me randomly? This is ridiculous!" Ling Xiao spat and said, unconvinced. Then he said, "And you, Fourth Elder hasn't even opened his mouth yet. You rushed out to give the order. Do you think you are the chief? Or do you think you are Fourth Elder? Why don't you change your position?"
These words made Fifth Elder angry. Cold sweat appeared on his palms. Ling Xiao was too direct. He immediately explained. "I am only speaking the truth. Is that okay?"
"Yes, of course. It's just that the way you gave the order just now was really impressive. Fourth Elder and the patriarch are going to stand aside." Ling Xiao took the opportunity to ridicule Ling Xiao.
"You..." Fifth Elder was so angry that his beard curled up. His old eyes were wide open, but he did not say anything to refute Ling Xiao.
"Ling Xiao, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and explain the matter clearly." Ling Cang coldly interrupted the two of them. In his heart, he was really breaking out in cold sweat for Ling Xiao. Even at this time, he still dared to speak nonsense.
At this time, everyone quieted down. Lee Zhongqian and Lan Zhenfeng cast a vague look at each other. The two of them waited quietly for Ling Xiao to speak, waiting for his explanation.
Ling Xiao stopped smiling. His face gradually turned serious. He looked at Lee Zhongqian and Lan Zhenfeng and said, "Did you bring gifts today?"
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, countless questions appeared in everyone's mind. Why did Ling Xiao ask so many irrelevant questions? They came to take his life, but Ling Xiao actually asked them if they had brought gifts.
The two of them didn't say anything. They just snorted coldly.
"I see that you guys don't have any gifts. Then today you guys won't be able to leave this place." Ling Xiao said indifferently.
Arrogant! " The two masters instantly stood up and shouted. Their Qi immediately pressed down on Ling Xiao. These two Qi were different from just scaring people just now. They were real existences, and even Profound Master Rank warriors would be severely injured from the impact.
Just as Ling Cang was about to protect Ling Xiao, an old voice sounded from outside the house, "Who dares to bully my disciple?
"great-grandfather, if you don't come, I will be killed by them." Ling Xiao shouted.
Grand Elder came!
Everyone in the Cabinet had this thought.
Lee Zhongqian and Lan Zhenfeng's Qi disappeared in an instant. On the contrary, they were forced back a few steps.
When everyone saw this scene, they were shocked. Grand Elder had made his move!
"Welcome, Grand Elder!" Ling Cang was the first to speak respectfully. Following that, all the elders of Ling family called out as well.
Grand Elder put his hands behind his back and slowly walked into the inner pavilion. His old eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked around and finally fixed them on the patriarch of Lee family and the patriarch of the Lan Family.
The patriarch of Lee family and the patriarch of the Lan Family looked at each other. Their bodies trembled and showed a timid look. Finally, the two of them braced themselves and greeted Grand Elder, "Ling master.
Grand Elder snorted and didn't say anything. He went to the seat next to the patriarch's seat and sat down. Then, he said faintly, "If anyone dares to hurt my disciple, I will kill his entire family.
After saying that, Grand Elder didn't speak again. He closed his eyes and closed his eyes to rest.
At this moment, the elders who were led by Second Elder lowered their heads guiltily. It was their first time seeing Grand Elder's protective measures. Their hearts began to waver and they didn't want to continue supporting Second Elder.
Second Elder and Fifth Elder also did not dare to make a sound and sat back in their seats.
Only Ling Cang finally smiled faintly. In his heart, he finally let out a sigh of relief for Ling Xiao.
The one who was most pleased with himself was Ling Xiao. He had already sent someone to inform Grand Elder from the beginning. Although Ling Cang would protect him, if he could not withstand the pressure, he would be in big trouble if he was executed by them. The reason why he had dragged on the tiger skin for so long was to wait for Grand Elder to appear. Only then did he calm down.
"Everyone, sit tight. Now let Ling Xiao tell us what is going on." Ling Cang seized the opportunity to speak.
After everyone had settled down, Ling Xiao finally told them the whole story. Of course, he had to add more details to the story.
"Patriarch, elders," one of the elders said. My godsister is the great-granddaughter of the Great Master. She was captured to prostitution by them. " I can't stand this. Could it be that the people of Ling family are cowards? Of course not. So I went to persuade the young lady of the Lee family to release her. I said that I am from the Ling family. However, the young lady of the Lee family said that even if the elders of the Ling family came, she wouldn't let them go. Moreover, she even asked Young Master, whose surname was Lan, to come and kill me. In order to protect myself, I had no choice but to do so. As for Young Master of the Lan family, he was a Profound Master Rank warrior. How could I kill him? As you can see, I am only a Profound Warrior of Intermediate Rank! If Hu Liu and Hu Qi hadn't rushed over, I would have died long ago. It's impossible for me to still be here and tell everyone about my sad past. " Ling Xiao held his hands behind his back. He spoke like a scholar. He shook his head from time to time.
"Nonsense! You killed Kuangsheng with your own hands!" Lan Zhenfeng naturally wouldn't believe Ling Xiao's nonsense. There were many witnesses at that time, which was obviously different from what Ling Xiao said.
