Chapter 776 The Grand Elder (3)
“Haha, of course I’m happy. You have no idea how bored I am staying here every day,” Leng Jingmu complained, his handsome face full of bitterness.
“Grandpa, you were the one who said you wanted to cultivate quietly. Now you find it boring,” Leng Wudi said speechlessly. Alas! He was really becoming more and more willful since Grandpa stopped being the patriarch.
“Cultivation is very boring! Brat, tell Grandpa why you brought your friend to live in the Plum Garden. That place is not open to the public! Don’t tell me you don’t know that even people from our Leng family are not allowed to stay there?” Leng Jingmu asked doubtfully. Hmph! Would he not know his grandson? This boy had been cautious since he was young, and it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. Therefore, if anyone wanted to see his most beloved grandson make a fool of himself, that would really be a mistake.
“Grandpa, how did you know about this? Did Rumei complain?” Leng Wudi guessed. He knew that Rumei would definitely complain, but he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
“Okay.” Leng Jingmu nodded.
“Young Master, I saw Leng Rumei bringing the Grand Elder to the Plum Garden. You better think of a good excuse. Otherwise, no one can help you if the Grand Elder becomes angry,” Third Elder reminded worriedly. He saw that the Grand Elder had no reaction in the meeting hall just now and thought that the Grand Elder would ask for the reason. However, he didn’t expect the old man to actually go to the Plum Garden personally, which couldn’t help making him nervous.
“Oh, it’s okay. The Grand Elder won’t blame me,” Leng Wudi said with certainty.
“Wudi, are you that confident?” The curiosity on Leng Jingmu’s face became stronger.
“Yes, the people I brought should be from the Leng family from the Ling Feng Continent,” Leng Wudi said after some thought. He didn’t intend to hide this matter from his grandfather anyway. “Are you sure? We’ve lost contact for so long. I really didn’t expect there to be someone from the Leng family there,” Leng Jingmu said with a face full of surprise. “Patriarch, what are you talking about?” Third Elder’s face was full of question marks.
“Third Elder, I told you not to call me Patriarch anymore. Well! It’s like this. The ancestor of the Leng family once left a trace of his bloodline on the Ling Feng Continent. However, not many people know about this. Moreover, no one has been able to come to our place for thousands of years, so we’ve always thought that there were no more Leng family there,” Leng Jingmu explained simply.
“Oh, since they are also from the Leng family, the Supreme Elder shouldn’t make things difficult for them, right?” Third Elder said uncertainly. “No, the Grand Elder should treat them well because the Grand Elder is also from the Ling Feng Continent,” Leng Jingmu explained, relieved.
“Ah! The Grand Elder also came up from below?” Third Elder said in surprise. He only knew that the Grand Elder was very mysterious and liked to be alone, but he didn’t know that the Grand Elder was actually from the Ling Feng Continent.
“Third Elder, what’s there to be surprised about? In fact, all the ancestors of our Leng family came from the Ling Feng Continent. However, after staying in this world for a long time, many clansmen thought that they were born and raised. In fact, to be precise, our roots are all in the Ling Feng Continent,” Leng Jingmu said thoughtfully.
“Okay.” Third Elder nodded in agreement. However, he knew that the younger generation of the clan would definitely not like to hear such words. After all, in everyone’s eyes, the Ling Feng Continent’s level was lower than the Boundless Heaven Continent.
“Wudi, arrange for some people to protect and take care of them since they are staying in the Plum Garden. Don’t let them think that we are rude,” Leng Qingmu ordered.
“Grandpa, there’s no need. Let’s not let anyone disturb them.” Leng Wudi refused directly without thinking because he knew that Leng Ruoxue would not use it even if he sent people. Moreover, she had many subordinates, so he didn’t need to do anything unnecessary. “How can that do? We have to treat the Grand Elder well on account of him. Otherwise, no one can bear his anger unless we invite the Old Ancestors,” Third Elder said hurriedly.
“Wudi, Third Elder is right,” Leng Jingmu echoed.
“Grandpa, I understand them. There’s really no need,” Leng Wudi said helplessly. “Alas! Alright then! You brought her back anyway, do as you deem fit!” Leng Jingmu rudely became an arm-flinging shopkeeper. He was not the patriarch now! He naturally didn’t have to worry about these things.
“Okay.” Leng Wudi nodded. Then he chatted with his grandfather for a while and left the side yard.
Outside the Plum Garden.
The man stood outside the yard and looked for a long time, deep in thought.
“Grand Elder, shall we go in?” Leng Rumei couldn’t help asking after waiting for a long time and seeing that the Grand Elder didn’t say anything.
“Yes.” The man nodded.
Then Leng Rumei pushed open the door of the Plum Garden and walked in, with the man following behind her.
With the support of the Grand Elder, Leng Rumei walked vigorously. After entering the Plum Garden, she brought the Grand Elder straight to the main yard because she guessed that those people would choose to rest in the main yard. After all, the rooms there were the best in the Plum Garden.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. Leng Ruoxue and the others didn’t choose to stay in the main yard at all, so she had to bring the Grand Elder around the yard to search. Finally, she found their traces in the yard closest to the garden.
“Grand Elder, it’s them.” Leng Rumei pointed at Leng Ruohan and Empty, who were drinking tea on a stone bench in the yard.
The Grand Elder didn’t say anything and just kept looking at the two handsome men in front of him. Uh! These two men could be described as dragons among men, and one of them actually looked a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before!
As for the other, he could sense a trace of bloodline connection between the two of them, so he was immediately sure that this person should be his descendant. However, what puzzled him was that logically speaking, the generation between them had already emerged for five generations, and their bloodlines should be very rare. However, the bloodline he felt from this young man was very strong. What was going on? He was really puzzled!
