4057 Appoint the young master
After sending LAN Xinyu off, Ling Chuxi and her group continued to rush to the Ling family’s residence.
Because they had spent too much time in the pillcloud Valley, it was already late at night. Their flying speed was also much slower than during the day. By the time they returned to the Ling family, it was already noon of the next day.
“Young miss, you’re back?” The moment he saw Ling Chuxi and the rest approaching from afar, a middle-aged man with a long sword hanging from his waist came forward to welcome them.
This man was called Xu Zicheng, the former leader of the guards of the Ling family. Because the third elder was nepotism, Ling huaixin had taken his position. However, the third elder’s plan had failed, and Ling mofeng had regained control of the family. He had expelled Ling huaixin and the others from the Ling family, and he had also regained his position.
At that time, Xu Zicheng was not present. He only found out the whole story later on and also knew that the reason why he was able to return to his original position was all thanks to Ling Chuxi causing a scene at the Ling family and beating up Ling Huaxin and the others. Therefore, he was especially respectful towards Ling Chuxi.
“Big brother Xu, why are you so quiet today?” Ling Chuxi asked curiously when she saw that the house was completely silent and unusually calm.
“The Lords have important matters to discuss today, so they ordered early in the morning that all disciples of the Ling clan are not to make a loud noise.” Xu Zicheng replied.
“Another important matter to discuss. Could it be that third elder is up to something again?” Ling Chuxi asked. In any case, everyone in the Ling family knew about third elder’s ambitions, so she didn’t try to hide it.
“This has nothing to do with third elder. The great clan’s ruling council sent news yesterday that the selection will be brought forward and informed us that the Ling family will send people to participate in the selection. Thus, the family head has gathered all the elders and the branch family heads here to discuss the selection of a young master.” Although Xu Zicheng didn’t have a good impression of the third elder, he didn’t deliberately pour mud on his head and spoke the truth.
“Choose the young master! Then let’s hurry and take a look. ” Ling Zhongyu said excitedly.
No matter which family it was, appointing a young master was a major event. The young master that had been publicly chosen by the elders of the family was often the next family master. Even if something happened to the current family master, this would not change.
This time, no one dared to stop them from entering. Ling Chuxi and the others quickly walked towards the meeting hall.
“Lord family head, our Ling family has never mentioned the matter of selecting a young master. Why is it that Ling Chuxi has only returned for a short while and you are already suggesting it?” Before they even reached the meeting hall, they heard the third elder’s sarcastic voice.
There was obviously a hidden meaning behind her words. Everyone stopped in their tracks and subconsciously looked at Ling Yixuan. Ling Yixuan’s face was red from embarrassment. Although her grandfather didn’t deliberately stir up trouble this time, his tone still didn’t seem to be one of peace.
“Weren’t you not in a hurry to become the family head before? didn’t you also cause such a scene a few days ago?” Ling mo Feng said without holding back.
“Uh …” Hearing Ling mo Feng bring up the past again, the third elder choked.
Although he didn’t say it clearly, everyone could see that third elder wasn’t willing to choose a young master so early. It was no wonder. Everyone had selfish motives. The third elder’s selfishness was very serious. Not only did he want to become the family head, but he also wanted to help his precious son to the position of young master. It was a pity that he had failed the last time when he was on the verge of success. Ling Chuxi’s return had angered Ling mofeng, ruining his plans, and Ling Ziyun had stupidly fallen into the chai family’s trap. When faced with Chai kezhou’s challenge, his performance had been even more unsightly. Even he felt that he could not lift his head.
