3934 Make things difficult for him
Usually, in front of his own family, the third elder would address Ling mo Feng as second brother, but this time, he solemnly addressed him as the family head. It was clear that he was dissatisfied.
“Go ahead,” Ling mofeng was not angry and said calmly.
“You said that Ling Chuxi is Fenghua’s daughter. Although I did not know about this, judging from her appearance, she is indeed a descendant of my Ling family. However, she has been away for many years and has not entered the ancestral hall to acknowledge her ancestors. Isn’t it a little too early to acknowledge her family now?” The third elder said.
“I would have forgotten if you didn’t mention it. Let’s go to the ancestral hall first. When Chuxi returns to the clan, she will pay her respects to the elders.” Ling mo Feng knew that the third elder’s words were not that simple, but he still nodded his head without changing his expression.
Ling Chuxi could also tell that this third elder was not very convinced and was still thinking of some evil tricks. However, even her grandfather did not care, so she had nothing to worry about.
“Lord patriarch, I’m afraid this is not very appropriate. Although Wu yude and the others had bad intentions, what they said made some sense. Fenghua’s unmarried birth is a disgrace to the family. If we let her daughter return to the family so easily, wouldn’t our Ling family become the laughing stock of the Qing-Yun realm?” The third elder said as he shook his head with a difficult expression.
“What third elder said makes sense. This … This Chuxi’s identity doesn’t sound good no matter how you put it. If word gets out, I’m afraid it’ll be bad for the reputation of our Ling family.” The other family heads of the Ling family’s branches also said hesitantly.
It wasn’t that they were in cahoots with the third elder, but that they were really thinking about the Ling family’s reputation. No matter what, they were still an ancient family. For the single beloved daughter of the family head to actually give birth before marriage, it wouldn’t be good if news of this got out.
As for the other young disciples, although they did not have the right to interrupt, the gazes they used to look at Ling Chuxi were also filled with hostility. The reason why the Ling family had fallen to such a state was because of Ling Fenghua’s dispute with the Shangguan family. Due to the family head’s prestige, they did not dare to discuss this matter openly, but in their hearts, they blamed Ling Fenghua for it.
As the saying goes, the son pays the debts of the Father. Ling Chuxi was Ling Fenghua’s daughter, so this debt naturally fell on Ling Chuxi’s head.
“Hmph, Chuxi is my, Ling mofeng ‘s, granddaughter. Whether or not she has acknowledged her roots and ancestors, she is still my, Ling mofeng’ s, granddaughter. She is a descendant of the Ling clan. I would like to see who dares to make irresponsible remarks!” Ling mo Feng coldly snorted, his body once again exuding a tyrannical aura.
“Master, you’re a venerable level master. No one would dare to say anything in front of you, but what can you do to them if they talk behind their backs?” Seeing Ling mo Feng once again reveal his overbearing side, the third elder felt a little guilty. However, this matter involved the reputation of the Ling family. No matter how overbearing Ling mo Feng was, he couldn’t possibly make a move on his own family. He felt that he was in the right, so he continued to grumble.
In any case, he had already made up his mind. If Ling mofeng refused to let him have his way, he would not let Ling mofeng have an easy time. Even if he could not do anything to Ling mofeng, he would still make things difficult for his granddaughter. Otherwise, he would not be able to vent the anger in his heart.
“Third elder, just tell me. What do I need to do to return to the Ling family?” Ling Chuxi could not help but ask.
When it came to her own identity and the reputation of the Ling family, even those who had originally supported her grandfather had some qualms about it. Even if her grandfather could use absolute strength to stand up against the opinions of the masses, he was still not convinced in his heart. Ling Chuxi did not want to destroy her grandfather’s prestige in the family.
