"Elder...Elder, Gong Liangyi ran away, ran away!" Seeing so many elders, the young man tremblingly said.

"What, ran away?" The other elders were surprised.

The young man was afraid that they would not believe him, so he hurriedly said, "I saw Gong Liangyi leave Lancheng with my own eyes, and I don't know where he went."

"Because there are few people outside, I dare not follow."

Even if he wanted to follow, he couldn't.

In the city, Gong Liangyi was very slow.

But outside of the city, with all connections, the other party is a dragon-level powerhouse, how could he possibly catch up?

"Gong Liangyi went out of the city under such circumstances, it seems that he must have escaped." Wang Yue said in a deep voice.

The other elders looked at me and I looked at you, all at a loss.

They couldn't figure out why Gong Liangyi wanted to run away.

Even if the task is not completed, the worst thing is to return the origin stone and make an apology.

Would they eat him up because he didn't complete the task?

In the eyes of the elders, the Wang family just doesn't have a patriarch, and they don't take it seriously.

Lancheng was too calm, which made them lose their due vigilance.

Without the Patriarch, it's no big deal to discuss another one.

...

"What now?" someone asked.

Gong Liangyi thought for a while, and said, "Qin Ming's matter must be resolved, otherwise everyone's hearts will be unstable."

"In this way, let's postpone the matter of choosing the head of the family first, and we will visit the major families in batches."

Qin Ming's bounty is like a stick in their throats, and they must be resolved first, so that they can choose the Patriarch with peace of mind.

The servants below are now in chaos, and the auction house has also stopped, so it can't go on like this.

Their offerings for next month can only be earned after the Wang family gets on the right track.

Everyone agreed with Gong Liangyi's proposal.

This time no one was raising an argument, and they all realized in their hearts that this time it seemed that it was not that simple.

When it comes to danger, as long as they are not fools, they still know how to unite.

...

So, the meeting ended like this, and all the elders began to visit the families in Lancheng, hoping to get them to come forward to stop Qin Ming's behavior.

Whether it is a big family or a small family, they don't choose.

A day passed, and the visiting elders all returned to the meeting hall, sitting in chairs with their heads downcast.

They didn't succeed, and the top families didn't help them. They were polite on the surface, but when it came to serious business, they found all kinds of excuses to shirk.

Some family elders celebrated their birthdays, some sons died, and some even pretended to be ill.

"I didn't expect that my Wang family has been operating in Lancheng for so many years, and there is no one who is willing to help when we encounter difficulties."

"It's really chilling."

Wang Yue looked at the sky with his eyes and sighed.

Besides, there are worse.

After the visit, two elders behaved well and left Lancheng directly like Gong Liangyi.

They didn't even take away the concubine they placed in the Wang's mansion.

It seemed that he was in great danger and ran away in a hurry.

This puzzled him a lot.

Could it be because of Qin Ming?

Wang Yue shook his head.

He felt impossible.

The forces behind Qin Ming have always been hiding their heads and showing their tails. This scares them, which is too timid.

All the elders are strong in the Flood Dragon Realm, it's impossible that they don't even have the guts.

"What should we do now?" Seeing that everyone had arrived, one of the elders asked.
