4062 Full of pride
“What’s an envoy?” Ling Chuxi continued to ask.
“You don’t even know who the messenger is?” Ling Yitong gave Ling Chuxi a strange look and suddenly remembered that she had just returned from the human realm. She had never returned to the Ling family before this, so it was normal for her to not know much about the aristocratic family’s ruling council. Thus, she patiently explained.
The aristocratic family adjudication meeting was different from the other aristocratic family suzerain. There was no president. The highest-ranking person in the meeting was the region master. Of course, there was more than one region master in the Qing-Yun realm. Therefore, the important matters were decided by them together. However, as a zone leader, the most powerful cultivators in the Qing-Yun realm were usually mysterious. Therefore, the ones who were in charge of the Council were the ruling elders.
However, these elders were all legendary figures in Qing-Yun realm. Most of them were in closed-door cultivation. They rarely interfered in the matters of Qing-Yun realm. After they made a decision, the judges would carry it out.
From a certain perspective, the adjudicators were the ones who had real power in the aristocratic family adjudicators.
However, there was another problem. Those who could become judges were usually the rising stars of the major ancient families, and all of them were geniuses. They were even the disciples of a Dominator. It was impossible for them to put all their energy into the trifles of the world.
After all, the Council’s main task was to maintain the balance between the great clans and suzerain, to resist the heavenly Tribulation and keep the realm safe. They didn’t have to deal with trivial matters.
As a result, the daily affairs of the Council fell to the lower-ranked Messenger.
Although their positions were not high, they had a lot of power.
Kong fanglin was originally an outer Deacon of the aristocratic family’s Arbitration Council. He was lucky enough to get close to the Huang family. With their secret support, his strength had increased greatly over the years and he had become an inner Deacon step by step. Some time ago, he had even been promoted to an order emissary. He was responsible for supervising the aristocratic families within a hundred thousand miles of Hezhou city and coordinating the relationships between them. Even if they didn’t have the power to control life and death, they still had a great restraint on these ancient aristocratic families.
After listening to Ling Yitong’s explanation, Ling Chuxi finally understood that the Huang family had such a backer. It seemed that if she did not satisfy the Huang family today, they would definitely not let the matter rest. However, Ling Chuxi did not regret it. It was fine if she did not return, but since she had already returned to the Ling family, she would definitely not allow anyone to bully the Ling family’s disciples. No matter what kind of backing he had, it would not be allowed!
Very quickly, the group arrived at the door, where over a hundred people were standing. A dozen or so of them were from the Huang family, while the other half were from the Council. Ling Chuxi’s guess was right. This time, the Huang family was serious. They did not hesitate to expose their relationship with Kong fanglin and mobilized so many people from the aristocratic family’s ruling council. If they could not help Huang Huali vent his anger, they would definitely not let this matter rest.
“I’m Kong fanglin, the head of the aristocratic family’s worldly judgement Committee. It’s been a few years since we last met, but you’re still as elegant as ever, patriarch Ling.” A middle-aged man with a fair complexion stepped forward and cupped his hands. He was Kong fanglin.
“Emissary Kong, please forgive me for my delay, but the Ling family is currently selecting a young master today, so I won’t be inviting you in. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Ling mo said in a calm and confident voice, his entire being filled with pride.
Seeing Ling mofeng’s haughtiness, not even inviting him in for a cup of hot tea, Kong Fangling was furious. Ever since he had become the emissary, the other ancient families had to give him some face. This old man didn’t even let him in. He really didn’t give him any face.
