Chapter 045: Inner Court Tongue Battle (I)
Chapter 045 Inner Court Tongue Battle (I)
The inner courtyard of Lingyuan!
In the cabinet, the Ling family patriarch and his eight elders were sitting here in the hall, and there were two strange elders who were nearly seventy years old in the VIP seat. Everyone's faces were not good-looking, and the two strange old men were even more indignant, obviously something very unpleasant had just happened here.
In the VIP seat, the old man dressed in gray said to Ling Cang, who was sitting in the center of the hall, "Patriarch Ling, I came with the head of the Lan family today just to seek justice, our two families have always been well water and do not violate river water, although your Ling family is strong, but we are not vegetarians, if you don't give us a satisfactory answer today, then ...... We can only be broken jade than broken tiles."
This old man is Li Chongqian, the contemporary patriarch of the Li family, and the old man sitting next to him is Lan Zhenfeng, the head of the Lan family.
Ling Cang squinted, changing his usual appearance and Hexi, the momentum of the superior was fully opened, and he definitely couldn't weaken his momentum in front of these two people.
"Patriarch Li, the head of the Lan family, this matter has its own public opinion when Ling Xiao comes, if the two of you don't have the patience to wait, our Ling family won't send it, please" Ling Cang said lightly.
"Hmph, the murderer pays for his life, otherwise there is no negotiation," Lan Zhenfeng on the side snorted coldly.
"The Lan family master is right, our Ling family will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation," the fifth elder Ling Yan replied.
"Are you going to give our Ling family away!" the third elder, Ling Yuan, said in a strange voice.
"What are you talking about!" Fifth Elder Ling Yan said with a frown and glaring at the Third Elder.
"Hmph, what do I say, you know it yourself, the people of our Ling family are not something that others can kill casually," Third Elder Ling Yuan said faintly towards Fifth Elder Ling Yan.
"Do the people of our two families deserve to die?" said Li Chongqian, the head of the Li family, with an aura exuding all his body.
The whole audience was a first-class master, but there was a sense of suffocation in the face of the momentum exuded by the Li family patriarch.
Second Elder Ling Mo waved his hand lightly and said, "I believe that our patriarch will not cover some murderers, for the sake of the peaceful development of the three families, we will definitely make the right decision and give you a satisfactory answer." The Second Elder's words were insinuating, first raising Ling Cang, and then placing him in the air, so that he could not get off the stage.
"If Ling Xiao kills someone for no reason, I will execute him with my own hands" Ling Cang's anger finally broke out, and after saying a cold word, the teacup in his hand was directly pinched into powder by him.
At this moment, the momentum on Ling Cang's body was in full swing, and a momentum that was even more domineering than the Li family patriarch instantly enveloped the hall, and then he was heard to say, "If someone dares to take my grandson as a sacrifice without permission, even if I am not the patriarch, I will screw his head off."
Ling Cang really hadn't enjoyed any family fun since he became the patriarch, he worked hard for the development of the family every day, and he was angry all day long when he was being carried by the second elder and the fifth elder.
He has never fulfilled his grandfather's responsibilities in the face of his own grandsons, but almost let one of his sons and grandsons be victimized by adulterers, and made them suffer for many years, he, as a father, as a grandfather's patriarch, has really endured it for a long time, and now someone wants to ask for his grandson's life in person, he finally broke out of his long-suppressed anger.
He Ling Cang can't bear it anymore, whoever wants my grandson's life, even if he is not the patriarch, he will screw off his head.
For a while, the two or three elders who were standing on the side of the second elder were so frightened by Ling Cang's momentum that they didn't dare to breathe, and at this moment they finally realized that their patriarch was not a puppet at the mercy of others, but he was just not usually inconspicuous.
"Patriarch Ling, it seems that you don't plan to hand over the murderer to us? Since this is the case, the Lan family master, let's go, I don't believe that your Ling family can cover the sky with one hand" The Li family patriarch stood up and shouted angrily, and was about to flick his sleeves away.
At this time, Second Elder Ling Mo stood up and said, "Patriarch Li, slow down", then he turned his head to Ling Cang and said, "Patriarch, I know that Ling Xiao is your grandson, but please distinguish between public and private, and don't put the interests of the family in disregard!"
"Second Elder, are you teaching me how to do things?" Ling Cang said faintly as he looked at Second Elder Ling Mo.
Ling Mo's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Ling Cang to ask him like this, in his impression, Ling Cang was still so strong for the first time! However, would he be afraid of Ling Cang? The answer was no!
For so many years, he and Ling Cang have been against each other, everyone knows his ambitions, the previous patriarch was his father, and now he just wants to regain his father's throne, what's wrong with this?
For a while, the entire hall was cold again.
At this moment, there was finally the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Ling Tang came to the pavilion and saluted everyone sitting and said, "Patriarch, all the elders, Deacon Ling Xiao brings it."
Fourth Elder Ling Wei waved his hand to let Ling Tang retreat.
Ling Xiao swaggered in, with a faint smile on his face, and bowed to Ling Cang, who was sitting in the middle, and said, "Ling Xiao has seen the patriarch and the elders."
"You are Ling Xiao?" Lan Zhenfeng, the head of the Lan family, asked faintly as he glared at Ling Xiao, his eyes revealing a strong murderous aura.
"Who is this old man?" Of course, Ling Xiao could guess that the two old men sitting on the side must be the contemporary heads of the Li family and the Lan family, but he didn't know if he was surnamed Li or Lan.
Lan Zhenfeng snorted coldly, "You are not qualified to know who the old man is, today you will kill yourself in front of us, forget about this matter, otherwise you will wait to be the sinner of the Ling family."
Ling Xiao pinched his chin and looked at Lan Zhenfeng, and said very disdainfully, "You old guy, I respect you for calling you an old man, and you actually let me die when you open your mouth, I* your grandma, why don't you kill yourself in front of me, Lao Tzu will go to your grave to pee and honor you."
Ling Xiao's words were really lacking in morality, and Lan Zhenfeng was so angry that he was almost about to make a move.
Ling Cang, who was sitting up, opened his mouth and said, "This is the head of the Lan family, and the other is the head of the Li family, they all said that you killed their family's grandson and granddaughter, Ling Xiao, did you do this?"
Ling Xiao still had a lot of respect for Ling Cang, who was sitting up, and immediately replied honestly, "I killed a few cats and dogs yesterday, but I don't know which one is the grandson of the Li family or the granddaughter of the Lan family."
"Bastard!" Li Chongqian, the patriarch of the Li family, heard this, and immediately shouted, shattering the coffee table on the side with one hand, and the momentum of his whole body shrouded towards Ling Xiao.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao only felt as if an invisible hand was holding his throat, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe, and just when he was about to use the three-point return vitality to resist, Ling Cang, who was sitting up, waved his hand, and the momentum of the Li family patriarch dissipated.
"This is the person of your Ling family, so cultivated, so arrogant, we can be regarded as knowledgeable, Brother Lan, let's go" Li Chongqian glanced at Ling Xiao and Ling Cang, and then said to Lan Zhenfeng.
"You just wait to start a war with the two of us," Lan Zhenfeng nodded, and then said harshly.
If it was just their Lan family, Lan Zhenfeng would definitely not dare to provoke the Ling family's majesty so much, but now that he is in the same boat as the Li family, are the two families still afraid that they will not be able to deal with the Ling family when they join forces?
"Wait"!
"Wait"!
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was shouted by Ling Xiao, and the other was shouted by the second elder.
"What else do you have to say?" said Li Chongqian.
Ling Xiao ignored Second Elder Ling Mo, looked at Li Chongqian and said, "Are you planning to leave like this?
"What? Do you have the ability to leave the old man behind?Or do you Ling family plan to bully more and less?" Li Chongqian looked at Ling Xiao, he really couldn't figure out why this kid was so arrogant, was he so arrogant just because he became the immortal successor disciple of the Ling family?
"Ling Xiao doesn't have anything to talk about here, shut up for me," Second Elder Ling Mo snorted coldly at Ling Xiao.
"What are you asking me to come over for nothing, then I'll go, don't send it" Ling Xiao had already seen through the ambition of the second elder Ling Mo, so he looked like he was leaving.
The second elder's face darkened, and he shouted loudly, "Presumptuous, are you talking to the elders like this? Yesterday you killed the granddaughter of the Li family patriarch and the grandson of the Lan family master, are you guilty!"
Ling Xiao turned around, looked at the second elder with a playful expression, and then looked around at the expressions of the elders around him, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha!
"Xiao'er, don't be impulsive, say it clearly, grandpa will always stand by your side" Ling Cang looked at Ling Xiao lonely and helpless, and his heart was strongly impacted, he absolutely couldn't let this kid have any more accidents. After that, he left the patriarch's first seat and came to Ling Xiao's side in an instant, afraid that Ling Xiao would not be able to stand the pressure and commit suicide.
Hearing that Ling Cang was defending him regardless of him, Ling Xiao's heart warmed, and he secretly thought that this old man was still a little humane. In the past two years, Ling Cang had never been to their house, and Ling Xiao had a grudge against the old man in his heart, but now that bit of mustard had disappeared.
"Don't worry, grandpa, you can't think about it," Ling Cang, who Ling Xiao was watching, replied movingly, and then he looked at the second elder and said, "Second elder, I know that you and the fifth elder both don't like our family, and they both want to take my grandfather's place, right?"
The second elder was stunned for a moment, and then said with a deep murderous aura in the old man's eyes, "Yellow-toothed child, you dare to slander the old man?"
Not only was the face of the second elder ugly, but the faces of all the elders of the Ling family present were constantly changing. Everyone knew that the Second Elder wanted to replace Ling Cang's position, but no one had ever dared to say it, and now that Ling Xiao actually said it in public, did this mean that Ling Cang and the Second Elder were going to tear their faces?
"I slandered you, hehe, okay, then I ask why you helped outsiders deal with me, don't you know that I am the grandson of the patriarch?" Ling Xiao looked at the second elder squarely, and his body was running with the momentum of resisting the second elder.
"Can the patriarch and grandson do whatever they want? No matter who makes a mistake in our Ling family, we must bear the mistake, you killed the people of the Li and Lan families, and you want to provoke a war between the three families, you are the sinner of the family" The second elder stared at Ling Xiao and sneered.
"Haha, then you are going to punish me without asking right or wrong? Then if the people of the two families arrest your old wife and daughter for prostitution, will you be indifferent to loyalty, let others humiliate, and fight for the sake of the so-called family interests?" Ling Xiao laughed and asked, saying in a sonorous and powerful manner, not afraid of the second elder at all.
"You are looking for death" No matter how good the cultivation of the second elder is, he has been touched by Ling Xiao again and again, and he wants to kill Ling Xiao with a slap.
What this kid said was simply slapping his old face, even Ling Cang, who was the patriarch, didn't dare to speak to him like this, which made him endure it any longer.
