Chapter 781: The Elder Arrives (4)Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I know. I’m just reminding you that it’s been twenty minutes. Those two elders are probably anxious from waiting,” Empty said with a light smile.
“Oh, in that case, I’ll go take a look!” Leng Ruoxue stood up reluctantly. The freak and the others followed closely behind, but she was the only one who entered the living room.
Leng Ruoxue heard angry complaints as soon as she stepped into the living room.
“That Leng Ruoxue is too much. She’s only from the lower realm, but she actually dares to put on airs in front of our main family! Hmph! I have to tell her the rules of our Leng family properly later.” The tenth elder sitting in the chair had never received such treatment, so he had nowhere to vent his anger!
“Okay, then you have to tell me in detail,” Third Elder echoed with a chuckle, but he couldn’t help snickering in his heart!
“Don’t worry, I know the clan rules well. I won’t miss a single one,” the Tenth Elder promised.
“Elders, do you want to see me?” Leng Ruoxue asked after listening for a while and walked slowly into the living room.
“You are Leng Ruoxue?” The Tenth Elder narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, stunned. Well! No wonder Rumei was so afraid of her. Leng Ruoxue really couldn’t be left alive!
“Yes, I am. I’m from a small place. I don’t know any manners, so I won’t bow to the two elders.” Leng Ruoxue sat down directly on the main seat after speaking.
The tenth elder was so angry when she sat down. He had never been looked down upon by a junior like this in all his years as an elder!
“Leng Ruoxue! You really don’t know the rules. How can a junior like you sit here in front of me? Hmph! Hurry up and kneel down. Today, I’ll teach you the clan rules!” The Tenth Elder roared with full force, his muddy eyes even revealing a disdainful expression.
“Kneel? I’m sorry, I don’t kneel to the sky or the ground. Apart from my parents who died early, only my grandfather is qualified to make me kneel now. You are not qualified!” Leng Ruoxue’s cold voice reverberated in the living room, but it also angered the Tenth Elder half to death.
“You… You are just a servant of our Leng family. I’m willing to let you kneel because I think highly of you. Don’t be ungrateful, and don’t blame me for not reminding you. Defying the elders and not differentiating between seniors and juniors is a serious crime in our Leng family. It would be a light punishment even if we exiled you. In serious cases, we would kill you directly!” the Tenth Elder said proudly.
“Thank you for your reminder! However, I don’t need you to think highly of me. Moreover, I want to know when did I become a servant of your Leng family? Do I have a indenture contract?” Leng Ruoxue said with a face full of question marks. Her beautiful eyes kept looking up and down at the old man in front of her, her beautiful face full of surprise!
“You’re from the lower realm. You should be grateful that our Leng family is willing to take you in. We think highly of you by making you servants. Not just anyone in our Leng family can do it.”
“Moreover, you don’t have much contribution to the family. We can’t let the family raise you for nothing, right? And you’re from a small place and have not seen the world. The family really doesn’t have any work suitable for you except to be servants. Therefore, from tomorrow onwards, you will be the Eldest Miss’s maidservant. As for your elder brother, let him serve the Fourth Young Master! Your grandfather will follow by my side and serve me closely,” the Tenth Elder said with a benevolent appearance. As he spoke, he had already arranged all the work for Leng Ruoxue, her grandfather, and her granddaughter.
“Do you mean that we can only be servants after returning to the family because we came from the lower realm?” Leng Ruoxue asked uncertainly.
“Of course, the family can take you in, but we can’t raise you for nothing,” the Tenth Elder said with disdain.
“Then can I think that all the Leng family members who come from the Ling Feng Continent have to be servants after returning to the family?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“Of course. Hmph! What can the Leng family from such a small continent do if they don’t become servants? It’s already good enough that our Leng family is willing to take you in. How dare you pick the third and fourth!” the Tenth Elder said angrily.
“But I don’t want to be a servant. What should I do?” Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful face was full of difficulties.
“Leng Ruoxue! Do you still want to be the young lady of the Leng family if you don’t want to be a servant? Let me tell you, don’t be delusional. Be a good girl and be the maidservant of the Eldest Miss. Don’t forget that you’ve humiliated Miss Rumei before. Hmph! Do you think you can still sit here unscathed if Miss Rumei wasn’t kind-hearted and didn’t fuss about it with you? One has to know how to repay favors and not be ungrateful!” The Tenth Elder’s pompous big hat was directly placed on Leng Ruoxue’s head. Hmph! He didn’t believe that Leng Ruoxue would not be afraid of the Leng family’s punishment.
In fact, he couldn’t be blamed for being so confident. If he had to blame, he could only blame Leng Ruoxue’s reputation for being too small and her limelight not being loud enough. Moreover, it had already been two years ago since the last time she showed off. There were many mystics who became famous in one fell swoop every year in the Boundless Heaven Continent. However, many of them were short-lived and would be drowned by history very quickly. A night-bloom like Leng Ruoxue naturally couldn’t enter the eyes of the super families. After all, they had never really seen Leng Ruoxue’s strength. Therefore, even if they had heard Leng Ruoxue’s name, they had long thrown it to the back of their minds.
Moreover, Leng Ruoxue and the others liked to hide their strength, so it also led the Tenth Elder and the others to make the wrong judgment!
Leng Ruoxue was very speechless after hearing what the Tenth Elder said because she really couldn’t understand what favor someone had given her. She had to repay kindness with gratitude. Wouldn’t it be ungrateful if she didn’t? Could it be that the brain structure of an elder was different from ordinary people? Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to another old man. Well! That old man had no other reaction except to drink tea!
“Old Man, our entire family is not interested in being a servant of the Leng family. Give this honor to others!” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently after a while.
“Leng Ruoxue! Do you really think you’re the Leng family’s young miss? Hmph! I really don’t know which improper Leng family gave birth to a bastard from your side branch! Do you think it’s so easy to hug the thigh of our Leng family? Since the family took you in, you have to work to the death for the family! Don’t be ungrateful! You have to do whatever the family arranges for you obediently! Do you still want to live on the Boundless Heaven Continent if you dare to go against the family?” The Tenth Elder roared while blowing his beard and glaring.
