“What right does she have to be related to you?” The master of the ning family asked with a cold smile.
“The old ancestor belongs to our ning family. She’s just an outsider. What right does she have to be the old ancestor’s goddaughter?” Ning Xi ‘er said unhappily.
At this time, Ning Yuan, who was sitting at the main table, felt like dying after hearing Ning Xi ‘er’s words. However, he hated his niece even more for not knowing what was good for her. She actually dared to question the old ancestor in public. Wasn’t she looking for trouble for herself? If she were to anger the old ancestor because of this, even he would not be able to save her!
“Whether I have the right or not is up to me, not you!” The master of the ning family suppressed the anger in his heart and said,” Was this brainless descendant really from the ning family? The ning family’s face had been completely lost by her. Great, now the great elder had another excuse to laugh at him.
“Forefather, I’m also doing this for the good of the family. Our ning family is one of the eight great divine regions. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be associated with our ning family.” Ning Xi ‘er said very seriously.
“Well said! The ning family is amazing to have a descendant like you! You’re even interfering with your own ancestor. ” At this moment, the first elder said with a smile.
“Who are you? Our ning family’s matters don’t need an outsider like you to interfere. ” Ning Xi ‘er glared at the first elder, her beautiful face full of displeasure.
“Alright! I’m an outsider! I’ll shut up!” The great elder said helplessly. However, he was in a good mood. He also wanted to see how old man ning planned to deal with this meddlesome descendant.
“Forefather, isn’t there a family gathering today? Why are these random people here?” Ning Xi ‘er continued to question the first elder when she saw that he had stopped talking.
“Great elder, we seem to have come to the wrong place.” After hearing Ning Xi ‘er’s words, Leng ruoxue chuckled as she spoke to the first elder.
“Mm! Why don’t we leave this place?” First elder suggested with a smile.
“None of you are allowed to leave!” Hearing the conversation between the two, the master of the ning family couldn’t bear it anymore and roared.
“Godfather! Calm down, the great elder and I just didn’t want to make things difficult for you. ” Leng ruoxue consoled him with a smile.
“MMH! We don’t want to make things difficult for you!” The great elder nodded in agreement.
Rolling his eyes at the gloating first elder, the master of the ning family turned to Ning Xi ‘er. “I’ll give you two choices. Either you sit down obediently, or you leave this place immediately!”
“Xi ‘er! Hurry up and sit down!” When Ning Yuan heard the old ancestor’s words, he quickly growled in a low voice. At the same time, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and thought to himself,’fortunately, the old ancestor did not blame Xi’ er!’ Otherwise, the consequences would be hard to deal with.
Now, he only hoped that Xi ‘er would be more sensible and not offend the old ancestor.
Actually, it wasn’t that the master of the ning family didn’t blame Ning Xi ‘er, but with his status, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with a junior. Thus, he left this opportunity to Leng ruoxue. However, up until now, Leng ruoxue had no intention of making a move.
Ning Xi ‘er had to listen to Ning Yuan’s words. In fact, she didn’t mean to annoy the old ancestor. It was just that when she saw the old ancestor introduce the woman she hated to the clan so seriously, she was madly jealous. That was why she had lost her composure in front of the old ancestor.
Seeing that Ning Xi ‘er had sat down obediently, the first elder smiled and said in surprise,””It seems that the substitute Master’s words are more effective than yours!”
When Ning Yuan heard this, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said,””Old ancestor, Xi ‘er has always been very obedient. She, she didn’t mean it. Please forgive her this time!”
“Hmph!” The master of the ning family snorted and ignored Ning Yuan.
“Acting clan head! If Godfather wanted to argue with miss Wu, would he still give her two choices? Right! Godfather!” Leng ruoxue raised her head and asked with an innocent look.
“Xue ‘er! This banquet was specially organized for you, so we’ll ignore those irrelevant people for now. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk after the banquet. ” The master of the ning family said indifferently. From the meaning of his words, it seemed that he still wanted to settle the accounts after autumn.
When Leng ruoxue heard this, she laughed nonchalantly,””Godfather! Fifth miss is also doing this for the good of the ning family, please don’t be angry with her!”
Hearing Leng ruoxue plead for fifth miss, master ning smiled indifferently. However, before he could speak, fifth miss ning could not help but shout,””Who needs your fake kindness!”
As soon as she said this, Ning Yuan felt cold sweat dripping down his body. He secretly raised his eyes and looked at his old ancestor, but he did not dare to say a word.
No one could figure out his ancestor’s temper until now. Logically speaking, if it were another family’s ancestor, they would have already punished Xi ‘er with the Family Law for what he had done. However, his ancestor did not have much of a reaction and allowed Xi’ er to cause trouble. Moreover, the ancestor did not say anything, and he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the ancestor. Therefore, he could only be anxious.
Unfortunately, no matter how many looks he gave Xi ‘er, his niece was unmoved. Although he was angry, there was nothing he could do. Although he was the acting head of the family, with the old ancestor around, there was no room for him to speak.
“Little girl! I don’t appreciate it!” The master of the ning family didn’t say anything, but the great elder spoke up, hoping that the world would be in chaos.
Ning Yuan was extremely depressed when he heard the first elder’s words. However, he did not dare to reprimand the old man. After all, the old man’s seniority and status were above his!
“It doesn’t matter!” Leng ruoxue said nonchalantly, her beautiful eyes looking at Ning Xi ‘er with a faint smile.
Ning Xi ‘er was flustered by Leng ruoxue’s stare. In a moment of desperation, she shouted,””I want to challenge you!”
As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned, and they looked at Ning Xi ‘er in disbelief.
Ugh! Did they hear wrong? How did it become a challenge? However, many people still thought that Ning Xi ‘er had gone mad. Otherwise, why would she challenge Leng ruoxue?
“Big brother! Fifth young lady wants to challenge big sister ruoxue. What should we do?” Ning Shan, who was sitting in an inconspicuous position, asked softly with a worried look. According to the rules of the ning family, everyone had the right to challenge and also the right to reject. However, if one rejected someone’s challenge, it would be regarded as a sign of cowardice and would be looked down upon. Although he had not known Leng ruoxue for long, he did not want her to be looked down upon.
“Don’t worry, our ancestor is still here!” Ning Hai replied with a smile. He wasn’t worried about the fifth young lady’s challenge at all because her strength wasn’t on the same level as ruoxue ‘s. If the weaker party challenged the stronger party and the stronger party didn’t agree, they would definitely be looked down upon. However, the current situation was the exact opposite. The fifth young lady was a deity while ruoxue was only a mid-stage deity. Even if ruoxue refused, no one could say anything. Not to mention, she still had the old ancestor’s support!
