Chapter 1701 - Crossing swords (2)

Originally, Leng ruoxue didn’t want to take out this token. However, seeing how overbearing third elder was, she couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on him. Hence, she immediately took out the token that represented her identity as the family head. If third elder still insisted on going against her, then he shouldn’t blame her for pulling the Tiger’s skin and raising the flag!

“This, this token, where did you get it from?” After being stunned for a while, the third elder couldn’t help but ask in a trembling voice.

“Of course it’s from my Godfather. Do you think I stole it? Or was it stolen?” Leng ruoxue said with a hint of mockery.

“Miss Leng really likes to joke. The old ancestor is a God venerable, no one can snatch anything from his hands.” At this time, the second elder, who was also shocked, said. He had not expected that the family head would give his personal token to Leng ruoxue. It seemed like the master had a lot of trust in her! However, Leng ruoxue had never revealed this to any of them, nor had she thought of using this token to force them to submit obediently. When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but have mixed feelings. If he had known that Leng ruoxue had the clan head’s token, these elders would have followed her orders obediently. It was a pity that Leng ruoxue had no intention of using this token to subdue them. This fact made him think even more highly of Leng ruoxue.

This little girl was not simple! The second elder couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The opportunity was obviously extraordinary, but she had no desires or demands. If it were any one of them who had been given this token representing the identity of the family head, they would not be as calm and composed as she was. In reality, what he didn’t know was that Leng ruoxue had treated this token as an ordinary token. In fact, from her point of view, this token could only be used to scare the ning family and didn’t seem to be of much use to anyone else. Hence, unless it was a critical period, she wasn’t willing to use it to intimidate others!

“Do any of you think that this sign is fake?” Leng ruoxue nodded her head slightly after hearing second elder’s words, then asked.

Leng ruoxue’s question caused the elders present to wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads. They were all thinking, who would dare to lie through their teeth? As soon as the token was shown, they could sense it. If they insisted that the token was fake, would the family head spare them if he knew?

“Third elder, do you think this token is fake?” Seeing that none of the elders answered her, Leng ruoxue had no choice but to call out names personally.

“This brand is real,” The third elder suppressed his anger and cursed in his heart. What did Leng ruoxue mean by this? There were so many elders present, why did they only ask him? Did he think that he was easy to bully? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. His expression also turned gloomier. As for the other elders, other than occasionally giving him a look of pity, they did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would attract Leng ruoxue’s attention.

“Are you sure, third elder?” Leng ruoxue asked worriedly.

“I’m sure!” The third elder gritted his teeth as the veins on his forehead throbbed. This was enough to prove that he was on the verge of exploding.

The elders looked at third elder, who was suppressing his anger, then at Leng ruoxue, who was calm and composed. They kept praying in their hearts that third elder would not be provoked. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“Since third elder is so sure, then I can be at ease!” Leng ruoxue glanced at the elders ‘expressions and laughed in her heart. She then asked,””I heard that this family head token has great power in the ning family. Seeing the token is like seeing the family head, right?”

“Do you really not know, or are you just pretending?” Hearing Leng ruoxue’s words, the third elder roared in anger. F * ck! He didn’t believe that Leng ruoxue didn’t know what this token represented. If that was the case, why would she show them this token to scare them?

“Of course I know, but I’m asking you guys now.” Leng ruoxue said in an infuriating manner.

“That’s right! Seeing the token is the same as seeing the patriarch. ” The third elder’s face was as black as ink as he replied in an unpleasant tone.

“Then with this, you all have to listen to me, right?” Leng ruoxue continued to ask.

“What … What’s with this score! After all, this is a critical period, and we have to be responsible for the ning family. ” The third elder had wanted to say “of course,” but he changed his mind when he remembered that the master’s whereabouts were unknown.

“In that case, even if I have this token in my hand, it’s not of much use to you?” Leng ruoxue said with a half-smile.

“It’s not useless, but it depends on the matter. If the matter involves too many people, please forgive us for not being able to follow orders!” The third elder said in a righteous manner.

“Third elder! Do you even know what you’re saying?” Leng ruoxue asked with a cold smile.

“Of course I know.” The third elder said without fear.

“Do you all think the same as the third elder?” Leng ruoxue laughed, then looked at the other elders with her eyes half-closed.

“Miss Leng! The ning family’s rules state that seeing the master token is the same as seeing the master himself, so we’ll definitely act according to miss Leng’s instructions. ” The seventh elder said after receiving the second elder’s signal.

“Seventh brother! Don’t you know what’s going on? How can we listen to an outsider when the master is not here?” The third elder roared in jealousy and anger.

“Third elder! Miss Leng is not an outsider. She is the goddaughter of our master, which means she is our sister. Moreover, her status is recognized by the old ancestor. If we don’t acknowledge it, then we are going against the master! I can’t afford to bear the consequences. ” The seventh elder said fearfully. His words received the support of many other elders. Of course, most of them were elders who had gone to the godly mainland with them and had gone through many hardships together.

“You …” The third elder looked at the seventh elder in exasperation, while the seventh elder glared back at him fearlessly. The two of them stared at each other for a long time. In the end, it was Leng ruoxue who interrupted their affectionate gazes.

“Third elder, I know that you’re doing this for the ning family wholeheartedly. Moreover, please don’t worry. The master of the ning family is my Godfather and has always loved me. I will never do anything to harm the ning family. So, instead of having time to go against me, you might as well go back to the forbidden land and cultivate. After all, you Hierarch elders are the pillars of the ning family. Only if you live well will the future of the ning family be more promising.” Leng ruoxue chuckled. She had first praised third elder before revealing her motive. Her following words had also infuriated third elder.

F * ck! Third elder cursed in his heart again. He finally understood what Leng ruoxue was trying to say. She clearly wanted him to get lost and return to the forbidden land, and not interfere with the ning family’s Affairs. Hmph! How was this possible? Since he had already come out of seclusion, he naturally wouldn’t easily go into seclusion to cultivate again. Not to mention, the ning family’s current situation didn’t allow him to leave it alone.

“Miss Leng! Since you can come to the divine world, you must already know the ning family’s current situation. Do you think it’s appropriate for me to go into seclusion now? Or do you think that you can solve the ning family’s internal and external problems with your own strength?” The third elder sneered as he questioned, throwing the question back to Leng ruoxue.
