C55 Struggling with Reason
Ling Xiao's words were very emotional. Many elders could not help but nod their heads in agreement when they heard his words. The way they looked at the chief of the Lee family was obviously filled with hatred. They were all elders of the number one family in Meteor Rock City. How could they endure being insulted by a junior? They could only shift their hatred to Lee Zhongqian.
"One side of the story. You can say whatever you want." Lee Zhongqian said in a bad mood.
"Whether it's a side of the story or not, we'll know later. Third Uncle, have you brought him here yet?" Ling Xiao answered firmly and called out to the door.
"He's here." Ling Tao replied, then walked in with four people.
Everyone looked at Ling Xiao in confusion. No one knew what Ling Xiao was going to do.
"This is the manager of the fabric shop. Do you remember her?" Ling Xiao pointed at an old man in his fifties and said. He was the manager of the cloth shop yesterday.
The manager looked at Bai Yuxi and nodded. "Yes, yes. She came to my shop to buy cloth yesterday. When she went out, she accidentally bumped into Miss Qing and was beaten up by her. In the end, Miss Qing and Young Master of Lan family took her away.
The shopkeeper felt bitter in his heart. Whether it was the Ling family or the Lee family, he didn't dare to offend them. It was very easy for them to destroy him, but he had no choice but to come out and testify. Fortunately, Young Master agreed to be under the protection of the Ling family in the future. He believed that business would be better.
After that, Xiao Mei, Bai Yuxi, and Du Ying came out one after another to testify that Lee Qingqing had indeed committed evil deeds first. That was why she received Ling Xiao's revenge. All of this was caused by Lee Qingqing.
After listening to everyone's testimony, Lee Zhongqian was so angry that his beard was blown high. On the other side, Lan Zhenfeng's expression was extremely ugly.
"Chief Lee, the Lan family Chief, everything is clear now. Lan Young Master is an accomplice and Miss Li is the main culprit. You said that the people of Ling family will be bullied by them. Do you want me to watch my godsister be treated like a prostitute?" Ling Xiao took two steps forward and questioned Lee Zhongqian and Lan Zhenfeng.
Both of them just snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.
Ling Xiao looked at Second Elder and the Fifth Elder again. Do you still think I killed the wrong people? Do you still think that I'm harming the Ling family's interests?
Second Elder and Fifth Elder's expressions were extremely ugly, but they did not reply. They indeed did not understand the whole story from the start. They thought that after Ling Xiao became Grand Elder's new disciple, he would do whatever he wanted. He had offended both the Lee family and the Lan family at the same time, so he wanted to seize the opportunity to capture Ling Xiao. At the same time, they wanted to attack Ling Cang's faction. Unfortunately, they had no idea what was going on. They had never thought that Grand Elder would come to the inner pavilion to protect Ling Xiao. It was just as Ling Xiao had said. It was the Lee family's fault. On the other hand, the people of Lan family were accomplices. As members of the Ling Family, they had reached this point. Of course, they wouldn't help outsiders bully their own family anymore. Even if they had a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to do so. If they lost the support of the other elders, their plan to seize the throne would be... It's harder.
"Since the matter has been explained clearly, Chief Lee, Lan family Chief, do you have anything else to say?" Ling Cang asked.
"Chief Ling, sorry to bother you. Lan family Chief, let's go." Lee Zhongqian knew that they were not in the right. Besides, he had already prepared himself for failure today. He had only come to see Ling family's attitude. Now that they had a quick understanding of the internal conflict in Ling family, as long as they could make use of it, it was only a matter of time before they could eliminate Ling Xiao.
Just as Lee Zhongqian and Lan Zhenfeng were about to leave, Ling Xiao spoke again. "You two, don't you plan to give me any gifts to compensate godsister? She was frightened yesterday.
Ling Xiao's words almost made the two of them fall down together.
You have already killed her, yet you still dare to ask for a gift? This bastard is too shameless.
"Before tomorrow, each of you will deliver something no less than Second Middle Rank. Otherwise, I will personally come and ask for it." Grand Elder said indifferently.
Hiss!
All the elders of Ling family sucked in a breath of cold air. This Grand Elder doted on Ling Xiao too much!
This time, Ling Xiao offended both of them at the same time, and also made Second Elder and Fifth Elder lose all face. His future path was even more difficult.
However, would he be afraid of these obstacles?
The answer was no!
After such a long time, the patriarch of Lee family and the patriarch of the Lan Family left the Ling family.
"Brother Li, are we going to let this matter go?" Lan Zhenfeng asked Lee Zhongqian unwillingly.
"What do you think? As long as that old man from the Ling family is still alive," Lee Zhongqian said. We can't fight the Ling family for a day! Lee Zhongqian also responded unwillingly. He paused for a moment and said, "That guy might have already broken through to that level. If that's the case, no one in the Ling family will dare to provoke him for at least 20 years.
"Are you saying that the old man from the Ling family has already broken through that step?" Lan Zhenfeng was shocked.
"If it wasn't for that, how could he have forced both of us back at the same time?" Lee Zhongqian asked with a serious expression.
Lan Zhenfeng recalled that they had been shaken by the old man's Qi in the inner pavilion of Ling family. His strength was truly unfathomable. He couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"However, this trip wasn't for nothing. I've long heard that there was an endless internal conflict in the Ling family. It seems like today is not for nothing. As long as we capture the main point, we can further intensify the internal conflict of the Ling family and cause them to collapse on their own, the Ling family will naturally be nothing to be afraid of." A smug look flashed across Lee Zhongqian's eyes.
"Brother Li, you're right. In that case, in the future, the Lan family will treat the Lee family as their leader. I hope you won't mind it." Lan Zhenfeng took the opportunity to express his thoughts to Lee Zhongqian.
At this moment, it was a good opportunity to curry favor with the Lee family. Of course, Lan Zhenfeng couldn't miss this opportunity. If he could form an alliance with the Lee family, they would be able to gain some fame in the future. It wasn't impossible for them to step into the ranks of big families.
Lee Zhongqian laughed and said, "Haha, with Brother Lan's help, of course I welcome you.
After the two leaders of the Lee family and Lan family left, the inner pavilion of the Ling family held a meeting for more than an hour. After the meeting ended, Second Elder and Fifth Elder returned to the secret room with ugly expressions on their faces.
"Big Brother, I can't hold it anymore. I want to personally get rid of that small bastard!" The moment they returned to the secret room, Fifth Elder immediately complained to Second Elder.
"If you can't bear it, it will be a huge mess. The last time you tried to assassinate that small bastard, you already alerted the enemy. Now, he rarely leaves the family. It won't be easy to get rid of him!" Second Elder said indifferently.
"Are you going to let him continue being so arrogant? If we don't get rid of him as soon as possible, it will be even more difficult for us when he becomes successful in the future." The Fifth Elder said snappily.
"He won't grow much in a year's time, but we should get rid of him first if we have the chance. Without him, Grand Elder might not stand on Ling Cang's side. Maybe he will take a liking to Ling Kuang when the time comes. This way, our chances of winning will be even higher," Second Elder said clearly.
"Big Brother has a good opinion, but who should we send to kill that bastard? I heard that he can even kill the Profound Master of Low Rank, and he has two close friends from the Beast Guard. Why don't I personally send him on his way?" The Fifth Elder suggested.
"Killing a chicken doesn't require a butcher's knife. Besides, there are people who want to kill that bastard more than us. As long as we send someone to keep an eye on the movement of that small bastard, we will release the news. " Naturally, someone will take his dog life! " Second Elder's old eyes flashed with a dark killing intent.
When Fifth Elder heard that, he thought for a moment and could not help nodding. "Good plan. Unless that bastard doesn't leave the house, he's dead for sure.
"Alright. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. How's the progress on Old Ghost's side going?" Second Elder changed the topic.
Speaking of this, The Fifth Elder slightly moved. "I don't know what the Green Wolf Group has been up to recently. They didn't provide any supplies. That old ghost keeps shouting that he doesn't have any more poisonous herbs for him. If he doesn't cultivate anymore, it will really infuriate me.
"You don't have to be angry, brother. That old man's temper is just like that. Besides, it's useless without poisonous grass. You can get people to spread some news and purchase those poisonous grass. I believe that many mercenaries and adventurers will be able to solve our problem for the time being. Anyway, it's not hard to find poisonous grass," Second Elder said.
"I know. However, the success rate of that old ghost is too low. He only succeeded five times after providing fifty sets of herbs. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to last more than half a year! " The Fifth Elder said.
"What can we do? In the entire Meteor Rock City, only Old Ghost can refine it. Bear with it for now. As long as the pill is enough, it will be the time for us to seize back the family business!" Second Elder said faintly.
Ling Xiao withdrew from the inner courtyard and returned home once again.
Originally, Ling Cang had something to say to him, but Luo Qingshuang was still staying in his house. He had to greet this girl first. The person who came was a guest. Moreover, she cared so much about him. He had to thank her. Otherwise, he would be letting her down too much.
Ling Xiao had already thought it through. He didn't have anything to give her, so he had to repay her with his body. No matter what she did to him, as long as it was light, he would endure it.
He walked into the hall. Luo Qingshuang was chatting happily with her mother, Meng Xiyun.
"Xiao, you're back. You've really worried mother to death." Meng Xiyun immediately went up to Ling Xiao and said when she saw him. She kept touching Ling Xiao's body, as if she was afraid that Ling Xiao would be hurt.
Ling Xiao felt warm in his heart. He immediately comforted her, "Mother, I'm fine. Everyone is reasonable. I explained everything clearly and they went back. They even promised to give Yuxi gifts tomorrow to apologize. Don't worry.
If Lee Zhongqian and Lan Zhenfeng, who had just left, heard this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood on the spot. He had killed her and made them apologize. How could this be called reasonable? Who would believe it if he said it out loud?
Even Bai Yuxi who was at the side could not help laughing when she heard it.
