Chapter 788 - The Depressed Leng Father And Son (3)

“Leng Xiong, today is the welcome banquet I’m holding for my sister. I asked you to participate because I hope you can get to know each other so that unnecessary misunderstandings won’t happen in the future. Therefore, if you have any doubts, tell me after the banquet ends. Now, shut up!” Leng Shuang reminded.

“Yes.” Leng Xiong was not stupid. He knew that he had gone too far, so he hurriedly returned to his seat.

“Sister, I’m sorry to have embarrassed you.” Leng Shuang turned her head and said to Leng Ruoxue apologetically.

“It’s okay. Justice is in the hearts of people. I believe that the Leng family isn’t all stupid. I beat up the Tenth Elder because that old thing deserves to be beaten up!” A cold voice emerged gently from Leng Ruoxue’s pink lips. The voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.

Moreover, for some reason, the Leng family felt even more stressed after hearing Leng Ruoxue’s words.

“Haha, what a good one! Lass, you’re really arrogant. As expected of our Leng family.” Leng Jingmu laughed and walked out of the hall to the table where Leng Ruoxue was. He happened to hear Leng Ruoxue’s words when he entered and couldn’t help but interrupt.

Everyone in the Leng family fell silent after seeing Leng Jingmu.

“Sister, he is my father-in-law, the former patriarch of the Leng family,” Leng Shuang reminded softly.

Leng Ruoxue nodded. Then she looked up at the middle-aged man in his early fifties and said calmly, “Old man, you’re mistaken. I’m not from the Leng family.”

“Uh! You’re from the Ling Feng Continent, how can you not be from the Leng family!” Leng Jingmu’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he couldn’t help muttering in his heart, This girl is holding a grudge! She actually doesn’t admit that she’s from the Leng family. This won’t do! Such an outstanding descendant can’t be left outside. If that’s the case, the Grand Elder probably won’t let them go.

“Everyone from the Ling Feng Continent has to come to the Leng family as servants. I’m used to being free and slow, so I can’t do the work of others, so leave the Leng family’s thigh to others! I won’t participate. Anyway, the Leng family doesn’t lack the three of us. Moreover, I can tell you very clearly that there’s no one else in the Leng family on the Ling Feng Continent other than the three of us. Therefore, you have to nurture the Leng family’s servants yourselves in the future. Uh! There’s no longer any supply on the Ling Feng Continent,” Leng Ruoxue said very seriously.

Leng Jingmu couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat at Leng Ruoxue’s words. He was so aggrieved! Boohoo… He didn’t ask the Tenth Elder to say this, so why did it have to be on him! Moreover, he knew that the Old Ancestor and the Grand Elder already knew this. However, not reacting now didn’t mean that they wouldn’t settle the score later. Therefore, someone would definitely pay the price for this. Boohoo… Hopefully, he wouldn’t be implicated!

“Lass, this is all a misunderstanding. The Leng family won’t let you be servants,” Leng Jingmu promised. Boohoo… As long as this girl was willing to return to the family, it was fine even if he had to worship them! Who dared to let them serve others? One had to know that there were only a few people in that line, and Leng Ruoxue and the others definitely had a much stronger background than them. After all, he still knew the principle that rare things were precious.

“Doesn’t the Tenth Elder’s words represent the Leng family? Don’t tell me he’s spouting nonsense! I’ll be very disappointed if that’s the case.” Leng Ruoxue smiled nonchalantly.

“Lass, do you believe me or the Tenth Elder?” Leng Jingmu asked instead of answering. Well, this girl was so smart, she would definitely understand what he meant. He was very confident about this, but he guessed wrong this time because Leng Ruoxue had never played according to the rules.

“Me! Of course I believe the Tenth Elder!” Leng Ruoxue deliberately paused and then said with a smile.

“Uh!” Leng Jingmu was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong. Then he asked again for confirmation, “What did you say?”

“I said… I believe the Tenth Elder’s words,” Leng Ruoxue said very clearly to prevent this old man from pretending not to hear her.

“Why? Lass, have you forgotten my identity?” Leng Jingmu couldn’t help reminding her.

“I didn’t forget. You are the former patriarch of the Leng family,” Leng Ruoxue said very clearly and deliberately emphasized the first word.

“Then why do you believe the Tenth Elder and not me?” Leng Jingmu said gloomily. Boohoo… This girl was too difficult to deal with.

“Isn’t it obvious! You are the former patriarch while the Tenth Elder is the current elder. Who do you think I should believe?” Leng Ruoxue asked in return.

“Lass, I might not be the patriarch now, but I still have a high status in the Leng family. They have to listen to me as long as I say it,” Leng Jingmu reminded her. What he implied was that he was just a decoration!

“Old man, I’m a good child and don’t like to spout nonsense, so I have to remind you that it’s better to manage it on the spot than to be an official. The current patriarch of the Leng family is your son. Even though those elders will also listen to your orders, it’s unavoidable to obey openly but disobey in secret! As for your son, the current patriarch of the Leng family! He’s still too young. I’m afraid he can’t completely control those slippery elders!” Leng Ruoxue looked at the uncomfortable man beside Leng Jingmu and said understandingly.

“Uh!” Leng Jingmu and Leng Yimin were even more depressed when Leng Ruoxue said this because they knew very well that what Leng Ruoxue was talking about was the current situation of the Leng family. This was also a situation that most of the new and old power alternations would happen. As for the elders present, they couldn’t help shrinking their necks when they heard Leng Ruoxue’s words, trying to reduce their presence lest they accidentally became cannon fodder. At the same time, they were muttering in their hearts, ‘I didn’t disrespect the patriarch!’

“What an arrogant little girl. According to you, all of us old ancestors are just decorations?” Suddenly, a slightly gloomy voice interrupted, and its tone was obviously displeased.

Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help looking up at the source of the voice when she heard this. She saw a middle-aged man standing at the door of the hall. The man was very tall and thin, but his temperament gave people a slightly dark feeling. His strength was Mystic Supremacy. Well! Could this person be the Old Ancestor Leng Wanqiu found? She guessed.
