Chapter 2231



2231 Eight families gathered (3)

Hearing this, Zong Yun immediately chose to leave. The master of the ning family didn’t ask him to stay, but as soon as Zong Yun left, the master of the ning family’s face immediately became serious. As for the elders of the three families, as soon as they entered the living room, they saw the master of the ning family’s cold face and unkind eyes staring at them. Suddenly, the three elders “hearts tightened, and they didn’t know how to say it.

After a long time.

The elders of the three families almost knelt down under master ning’s sinister gaze. In the end, master ning was kind enough to look away from them and asked indifferently,””What’s the matter, three elders?”

“Master ning, this time you must give us Justice! You’re a good friend of my family’s old ancestor. Since he’s not here, you’re our backbone, so you have to support us!” A certain elder of the Cheng family said with tears and snot in his eyes after he came back to his senses.

When the other two elders heard this, they quickly chimed in.

When the master of the ning family heard their words, he said with a puzzled face,””I wonder what the three elders want me to support you with? As far as I know, the patriarchs of your three clans should be arriving soon, right?”

“Master will only arrive in a few days, so master ning, we’re all counting on you now!” A certain elder of the Cheng clan hurriedly said.

Master ning couldn’t help but laugh at her words.

“You only asked me to back you up, but you didn’t say what it was. I can’t help you!” The master of the ning family reminded.

“The Yao family is really going too far! “It’s like this …” The Cheng family elder’s face was filled with righteous indignation, and then he told them in detail how elder Yao Jiu had found them. Before he finished, he didn’t forget to add that they thought the Yao family had already looked for the ning family’s patriarch, only to find out later that elder Yao Jiu had only looked for their three families.

“AI! Should I say that you guys are too stupid, or that you guys are too naïve?” After hearing the Cheng family elder’s words, the ning family head couldn’t help but sigh.

“Uh!” The ning family Master’s words made the three elders speechless, because these two adjectives didn’t sound good, and the meaning was similar, so they didn’t want to hear either. But with the current situation, it seemed that they couldn’t get rid of the big hat of being stupid or simple.

Then, the three elders heard the master of the ning family continue,””The Yao family is famous for its snobby nature. Although we are all from the eight great divine domains, our positions are absolutely different in the Yao family’s heart! Just like this time, why did the Yao clan look for you first? Didn’t they think that you were easy to deal with? I’m afraid you’ll listen to me and make the Yao family bleed. As the saying goes, pick the soft persimmons and pinch them! That’s exactly how important you are in their hearts!”

“As for the nings, if we don’t deal with you first, he won’t come to me. But I’m not in a hurry. The Yao family won’t dare to kick us out anyway. Otherwise, I’ll never let them off!” After saying this, master ning’s imposing manner immediately rose, almost scaring the three elders to sit on the ground.

Master ning’s words were sharp and made people feel uncomfortable, but the three elders couldn’t deny that he was speaking the truth. In master Yao’s heart, the other six masters were indeed not as important as master ning. This was an indisputable fact. As for the elders, they were even less important!

AI! Master! When will you arrive! At the thought of this, the three elders couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. At the same time, they were thinking that if the family head was here, no matter what, the Yao family wouldn’t treat the family head the way they treated them! More importantly, the family head could make the decision directly, but they couldn ‘t! Otherwise, why would they swallow their anger and compromise?

In fact, the patriarchs of the Cheng, Yin, and Lu families had not arrived yet. Other than the long journey, it was also because the patriarchs of the three families had met by chance halfway. After meeting, they naturally had to discuss this matter in detail in secret, so it had taken some time.

As a result, the elders of the Cheng, Yin, and Lu families were a little anxious from waiting. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to the master of the ning family time and time again. But in the end, the master of the ning family could only tell them not to agree to anything with the Yao family before their master arrived. If the Yao family asked, they would all reply with four words: ‘no comment’!

The elders of the three families were very obedient. When the ninth elder of the Yao family wanted to talk to them again, they directly told him,”we’ll wait for their family heads to come and talk. They have no comment!”

This fact drove the ninth elder of the Yao family crazy.

Three days later, the elders of the three families finally saw their family heads.

Coincidentally, the patriarchs of the Chi, fan, and Yu families also arrived at the Yao family at the same time.

Seeing this lineup, elder Yao Jiu, who was in charge of receiving them, immediately had a headache!

Originally, he thought that he could settle the matter of the poisoning before the other three families arrived, but now, it was obviously not possible. Perhaps the poisoning incident a few days ago would rise to the level of a meeting between the Eight Families, and become a topic that must be discussed among them. If this continued, the Yao family would have to face the collective blame of the other seven families!

For elder Yao Jiu, this was definitely the worst situation and the one he didn’t want to happen. Thus, after some consideration and obtaining the permission of the family head, he arranged for the guest courtyards of the Chi, fan, and Yu families to be on the west side of the Yao family’s main residence, while the other four families ‘residences were on the east side. One East and One West didn’t sound like much, but the distance was definitely not close. At least, if one had nothing to do and wanted to have a small chat, it would take at least three hours to go back and forth.

The ninth elder of the Yao family, who was quite proud of his own creativity, didn’t know that his unnecessary action made the other seven family heads laugh.

In fact, if they wanted to chat, they wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble and go to someone else’s place. Did the Yao family forget that there was a tool in the world called the voice transmission Jade tablet? Of course, it was also possible to send a message directly. This was not difficult for reverent-god level cultivators, but it would consume divine power. They rarely used it unless it was an emergency.

Just like that, the seven family heads simply communicated through the voice transmission Jade plate. The two family heads of the Cheng family and the yin family, who had a better relationship, directly stayed with the ning family’s master. The Lu family, who was in the same boat as them, also did not want to be isolated, so they also came to disturb them from time to time.

Elder Yao Jiu felt helpless in the face of all this! Because he could not stop it at all!

In the living room of the ning family’s guest house.

The Cheng clan head hadn’t even warmed up his seat when he asked about Leng ruoxue’s situation in front of the guest house’s butler, who had yet to leave.

“Why didn’t that girl come with you? I really miss her food!” The head of the Cheng clan said expectantly.

“Me too!” The yin family’s master agreed as he glanced at the housekeeper, who looked constipated.

“It’s an unusual time and troubled times, how could I dare to bring Xue ‘er here? if she really came, wouldn’t the Yao family eat her? I’m also afraid that you’ll join forces to kill my adopted daughter and get the reward from Rime!” The master of the ning family glanced at the two people who wanted to see the world in chaos and said with a smile that was not a smile.

Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the Lu clan broke out in a cold sweat. As for the guest house’s butler, who wanted to leave but realized that his legs were weak, his body was already shaking like a Fallen Leaf, teetering on the verge of collapse! He regretted not leaving immediately just now. In the end, he had let him hear such a thing. Wu … He wouldn’t be killed by master ning, would he? He couldn’t help but imagine!

Of course, the master of the ning family didn’t know what he was thinking. Otherwise, he would have told him that he was overthinking it! Even if they wanted to silence him, it wasn’t just a small housekeeper like him!

“Hahaha! How could that be! I don’t dare to provoke that girl!” Hearing this, the only two people who didn’t change their expressions were the master of the Cheng and Yin families.

The two of them were willing to come here not only because someone in their family was poisoned, but also because they felt that they might run into the little girl. So, they put down everything they were doing and ran over.

When they heard that the little girl didn’t come, the two of them were quite disappointed! However, they would never think that this was a sign of fear from the little girl!

“You’re all wise!” After a deliberate pause, the master of the ning family revealed a proud smile.

Seeing him like this, master Cheng and master Yin really wanted to beat him up. Did he have to be so smug? It was really too detestable!

Not wanting to see the old man of the ning family continue to be smug, the master of the Cheng family changed the topic.””By the way, what are your plans for the poisoning incident? Why don’t you all share your thoughts so that we can consolidate our opinions before telling old man Yao?”

“Old man Yao was afraid that we would do this, yet you still dare to brazenly discuss this matter with us!” Master ning said with a smile.

“What’s wrong? He’s afraid of us, so we’re not discussing it? Who does he think he is!” The head of the Cheng family said disdainfully. Hearing his words, a certain Butler wanted to just faint. Otherwise, he was afraid that his heart wouldn’t be able to take it. Sob … The person they were talking about was their own ancestor! Was he going to listen or not? Obviously, the other party had no intention of avoiding him!

A certain Butler was very conflicted.

However, the head of the Cheng clan obviously didn’t take him seriously and continued to add oil to the fire,””I’ve decided that if the Yao family doesn’t give us a satisfactory explanation this time, my Cheng family will be the first to not let this matter rest!”
