C441 Conversation

Just as Shang Zhiqing had expected, when she rushed to the side room of the Xie Qingrong trio, she was stopped by someone. The person blocking the door was the Great Clan Elder's second disciple, who was also her junior brother.

"Senior sister, the grand elder has ordered that no one is allowed to interrupt his conversation with the distinguished guests, otherwise, the punishment will be in accordance with the clan rules."

Second junior brother blocked the door. Even when facing his eldest senior sister, he still looked respectful and did his duty.

Shang Zhiqing pursed her lips, her face showing signs of getting angry. Just as she returned to the Shang Clan, a series of annoying things happened, the emotions in her heart were being suppressed too much.

His usually gentle face turned ice-cold. It was so cold that it seemed to be unfeeling. He said coldly to his Second Junior Brother, "Get out of the way."

If he really were to fight with the eldest senior sister, he would definitely not be a match for the eldest senior sister. However, he could not not not follow the orders of the Great Clan Elder.

Gritting his teeth and just as he made a defensive gesture, he heard the voice of the Great Elder from the room, "Let her in."

The Second Martial Brother stopped his actions and made a gesture of invitation. He lowered his head and said, "Eldest Martial Sister, please come in."

Shang Zhiqing had originally already prepared to fight with Second Junior Brother, but who would have known that the Great Clan Elder did not blame her, and instead allowed her to enter the room.

The atmosphere in the room was strange.

The Great Clan Elder sat on a chair and drank his tea. Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen stood facing the Great Clan Elder with complicated expressions on their faces, as if they were trying to endure something.

"The time it takes to make a cup of tea has passed. Have the two of you considered it yet?" The Great Elder closed the tea cup gently and placed it on the table beside him as he asked indifferently.

With a serious face, the gaze that he looked at Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Chen with was filled with sincerity.

Xie Qingrong clenched her fists under her sleeves and quickly relaxed. She smiled coldly.

"Great Elder, you are joking. I already know the truth of the conditions you are holding. Why did you sell yourself out in exchange for this unfair transaction?" Furthermore, my sister Shang Zhiqing is the Saint Daughter of the Shang family, this is already a certainty for the Shang family, in the future, it will definitely be recorded in their family tree. "Why do you need to waste time on this?"

Hearing Xie Qingrong's words, the Great Clan Elder's eyes darkened, as he stared at Xie Qingrong with his eyes. He had's records of what he had done in the past few years, but had always thought that it was because Xuanyuan Chen had helped him from behind his back.

Even then, he knew that it was Shang Zhiqing who had done it, so he did not put Xie Qingrong in her eyes. But today, Xie Qingrong had completely overturned all of his beliefs.

Just the fearless aura and icy temperament that he possessed in the face of danger was enough to make him look at him in another light. A person's speech could change, but the temperament and aura of her body could not be faked.

Then, all the deeds that he had gathered regarding Xie Qingrong had come from her. If that was really the case, then I am afraid that Xie Qingrong and Shang Zhiqing's abilities are equally matched.

Shang Zhiqing had been nurtured by the Shang family for many years, but Xie Qingrong's talent could be said to be exceptional.

The Great Elder had already judged which was more important.

Xuanyuan Chen was extremely displeased with the Great Elder seeing the expression in Xie Qingrong's eyes, as if he was sizing him up. The displeasure in his heart caused him to subconsciously stand in front of Xie Qingrong, blocking the Great Elder's line of sight.

The Great Elder chuckled as he saw Xuanyuan Chen move in front of Xie Qingrong, and sighed, "The affection between your highness the crown prince and the crown prince's consort is really deep. "Although you haven't changed your surname, you are destined to be a merchant."

"In that case, I don't want to hear it a second time. Since a cup of tea's time is not enough for you to think, then I will give you one more day to think. I hope to hear your good news when I return tomorrow. "

After the Great Clan Elder said this, he knocked the ground with his walking stick and turned to look at Shang Zhiqing, who was shouting that she wanted to take action.

His eyes were filled with disappointment!

Shang Zhiqing pursed her lips, not daring to speak. Although the Great Elder doted on her very much, she had indeed crossed his bottom line when she was outside the door.

At that time, the situation was urgent and she thought that the Great Clan Elder would do something bad to Xie Qingrong.

But the arrow had to fly.

The Great Elder looked at Shang Zhiqing and asked coldly, "Why aren't you saying anything? Wasn't it extremely noisy outside? You still want to attack your second junior brother? Have you eaten all the courtesy and shame I've taught you all these years? "

If not for the fact that this disciple was a disciple whom he had raised and which he had taught since he was young, the Great Elder would have already thrown Shang Zhiqing into the torture chamber.

Shang Zhiqing remained silent, her heart full of guilt.

Xie Qingrong looked at Shang Zhiqing's aggrieved expression and sighed in her heart. She walked out from behind Xuanyuan Chen and defended him.

"Great Elder, our feelings did not mean to barge in. I presume you also know that love is only due to being worried about me, and that's why you lost your manners in a moment of desperation. "

The Great Clan Elder looked at Xie Qingrong with some astonishment, as if he did not expect Xie Qingrong to stand up and speak up for him. He was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled, "Since the Crown Princess is pleading on my disappointing disciple's behalf, this time, I can let this go for the time being."

He was polite to Xie Qingrong, but in a blink of an eye, his gaze fell on Shang Zhiqing, blaming him a little, "Do not do it again, do you hear me?"

Although he berated Shang Zhiqing harshly, everyone present understood that the Great Clan Elder was only going down the stairs. If they really wanted him to punish Shang Zhiqing, he wouldn't be willing either.

Shang Zhiqing listened to the Great Clan Elder's words, which seemed like reprimands, as his eyes reddened, and he nodded his head silently.

"In that case, I will take my leave first." The Head Elder leaned on her walking stick and slowly stood up. Shang Zhiqing immediately stepped forward and supported the Great Clan Elder by the arm, supporting him as he slowly walked.

Shang Zhiqing had already determined that the Great Clan Elder and Xie Qingrong did not have any conflict, and thus, she did not have any plans to stay. Otherwise, for no reason at all, she would leave some clues for the people in the Shang clan to use.

The Great Clan Elder heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shang Zhiqing being sensible. No matter what, at a critical moment, Shang Zhiqing still knew what she should do.

After sending the Great Clan Elder and Shang Zhiqing off with his eyes, Xie Qingrong finally sat down and poured himself a cup of hot tea, taking a shallow sip.

His mind was constantly replaying the requests and conditions that he had received from the Great Elder.

Not to mention whether or not his own blood could make the metazoan flower blossom. If his own blood could really make the metazoan flower blossom, then the Shang family's other faction might not be able to tolerate him.
