Hearing this, the third elder’s anger was stuck in his chest. He couldn’t breathe it out or swallow it down. His heart ached, and the veins on his clenched fists were visible. One could imagine how angry he was.

“Didn’t I already ground Ning Shan ‘er? What’s not safe?” The third elder took a few deep breaths and said while suppressing his anger.

“There are many young ladies in the ning family. Ning Shan ‘er won’t be the only one who has designs on my man, so it’s safest for him to stay by my side.” Leng ruoxue said with a smile.

“Don’t worry! Our ning family’s young lady wouldn’t have such bad taste to take a fancy to your man!” The third elder gritted his teeth as he cursed in his heart. What did Leng ruoxue take the daughter of the ning family for? The young lady of the ning family would not be so bad at judging people. She would not give up so many outstanding men and only take a fancy to a pretty boy who lived off a woman.

“That’s not for sure! Isn’t Ning Shan ‘er the best example?” Leng ruoxue smiled calmly. She knew that this old man was no longer calm. Her objective today was to make him lose his cool so that she could fish in troubled waters.

“She’s an exception!” The third elder glared at her and roared. Ning Shan ‘er was a descendant of his bloodline, yet Leng ruoxue was using her as a handle against him. This fact made him both angry and hateful! The love he had for Ning Shan ‘er had also decreased.

“She has a criminal record, and she’s not only wooed my man. The young master of the Cheng family was also wooed by her until he didn’t even dare to return home. From this, it can be seen that the ninth miss of the ning family’s skills in wooing men have reached the peak.” Leng ruoxue chuckled as she teased.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xuan, who was resting at ning haolan’s place, sneezed a few times. ‘Who’s talking bad about me?’ he thought to himself. He suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

When third elder heard Leng ruoxue’s words, he felt embarrassed and angry at the same time. It was as if there was a ball of fire burning in his heart, and a suffocating feeling was stuck in his chest, causing him to have no way to vent it. Although he really wanted to argue, his short interaction with Leng ruoxue made him very clear that what Leng ruoxue said was most likely the truth. Otherwise, she would not have brought this up! When he thought of this, his resentment towards Ning Shan ‘er grew even deeper.

“Third elder, don’t you want to express your opinion?” Seeing that third elder was silent, Leng ruoxue took the initiative to provoke him.

“I have nothing to say, let’s start the meeting!” The third elder took a few deep breaths and pretended to be calm.

“Then let’s start the meeting!” Seeing that the third elder was suppressing his anger and no longer mentioned the matter of letting the evildoer leave the assembly hall, Leng ruoxue decided to stop while she was ahead. After all, she couldn’t push this old man into a corner, or it wouldn’t do her any good.

As soon as they heard that there would be a meeting, all the elders put away their expressions of watching a good show and became serious.

“Third elder! I heard that you’re planning to bring some of the elders to the secret realm?” The second elder cleared his throat and said straightforwardly. The reason why he had come straight to the point was because he knew the third elder too well. If he beat around the bush, the third elder’s rebellious heart would only grow bigger. Therefore, he could only speak the truth.

“Yes, I am!” The third elder nodded and did not say anything else. However, he was secretly pondering the second elder’s intentions.

“Third elder! I have a different opinion on this. ” The second elder glanced at the third elder and said.

“What is second elder’s opinion?” The third elder sat up straight and spoke with an expression of being taught. Although he would usually call the second elder second brother, at times like this, they would usually address each other by their identity as a sign of respect.

“I don’t agree to you going to the secret realm.” The second elder deliberately paused for a moment before expressing his thoughts. The reason why these words came out of his mouth was because of his high status and prestige in the ning family. If these words were said by Leng ruoxue, then third elder would definitely be very disgusted. Thus, he could only be the bird that stood out in the direct confrontation with third elder.

“Second elder! The whereabouts of the patriarch and the others are unknown in the secret realm, how can we just leave them be?” The third elder stood up from his seat in anger when he heard the second elder’s words. His face was ashen as he coldly said,”

“How can you call this nonchalant? Although patriarch and the others have gone missing in the secret realm, not many people in the divine world know about this, so we must take precautions in advance. Our main task is to protect the clansmen of the ning family in the domain of the gods, so that people with ulterior motives don’t have an opportunity to take advantage of them. Otherwise, if something happens to these clansmen, we won’t be able to explain it to patriarch when he returns. ” The second elder explained very carefully.

“Second elder, are you afraid that someone will come to the ning family to make trouble? You’re being too careful. Our ning family is the leader of the eight great divine regions. If anyone dares to come, I’ll make sure they won’t be able to return. ” The third elder said confidently.

“Third elder! With so many top forces trapped in the secret realm, we have to be more vigilant! Therefore, I absolutely don’t approve of you going to the secret plane. ” The second elder said worriedly.

“Second elder! You’re overfiltering it. ” The third elder didn’t think much of it. He was extremely confident in the strength of his clan. He didn’t think that anyone in the divine realm would dare to come to his ning clan to cause trouble. Wasn’t that the same as courting death?

“Whether or not I’m overfiltering, I won’t allow you to go to the secret realm.” The 2nd elder said stubbornly. His words caused the 3rd elder to frown.

The third elder did not expect the second elder to be so insistent on this matter. Although he did not know why, he felt that this was not his second brother’s usual style. If it was in the past, he would probably be the first elder to suggest bringing people to the mystic realm after knowing that the family head and the others had gone missing. But now, he was strongly opposed to this matter. This was really abnormal. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t think of a reason. Thus, he decided to wait and see. He wanted to see how tough his second brother’s attitude could be.

However, the second elder’s following words were far beyond his expectations.

“However, I know that you are all worried about the master and the elders of the ning family, and I am also worried about them, but you’d better think carefully. Even with the master’s strength, he was able to go missing inside. If you go, do you have the confidence to bring them out? Let’s not talk about whether we can find them or not. If you’re also trapped inside, then there’s no one left in the ning family. If someone were to launch a sneak attack at this time, have you thought of the consequences?” The second elder said earnestly.

His words made all the elders fall into deep thought, and third elder’s jaw almost dropped. F * ck! The person who was full of reason was his second brother? This was really too inconceivable. It should be known that his second brother had always given him the impression of being overbearing and impulsive. But now, he was telling them such a reason, and it was impossible for them to refute it. Was this person really their ning family’s second elder? Could it have been switched?
