4100 Break off the engagement?
Those who were selected were naturally in high spirits, while those who weren’t were not disappointed. This time’s aristocratic family adjudication meeting was the first step for the Ling family to once again rise to fame as an ancient aristocratic family. It was of great significance to the Ling family. Whether it was the five people participating in the selection, or the other dozen or so people, all of them represented the Ling family. Only the strongest descendant of the Ling family had the right to participate, so they had nothing to be jealous of.
Besides, they were still young, and the aristocratic family judgement committee’s selection was held once every ten years. Most of them still had a chance, and as long as they worked hard to improve their strength, they could go next time.
“Lord patriarch, the fifth elder of the OU family requests an audience.” At this moment, a guard came in to report.
Ou Yulu’s expression was clearly a little surprised. Second uncle, what was he doing at the Ling family?
The fifth elder of the OU family, who was also ou Yulu’s second uncle, was called ou Lanting. In terms of seniority, he was only a second-generation disciple of the OU family. He was not qualified to be an elder. However, ou Lanting’s cultivation realm and alchemy skills were extraordinary. He was also capable and skilled in management, so he was promoted to an elder by exception. He had some prestige in the OU family.
Of course, to ou Yulu, none of this was important. She was just an unruly little princess who would cry and make a fuss whenever she encountered something. What happened to ou Lanting had nothing to do with her.
However, the problem was that among the OU family, the one who opposed the marriage between the OU family and the Ling family the most and repeatedly proposed to break off the marriage between ou Yulu and Ling Zhongxiao was ou Lanting.
Ou Yulu had a bad feeling in her heart.
“Let him in,” Ling mo Feng said. Even though ou Yulu had not married Ling Zhongxiao yet, the OU family and the Ling family were considered to be half in-laws, so he had nothing to hide.
Soon, an elegant-looking middle-aged man walked into the martial arts practice field. He was the fifth elder of the OU family, ou Lanting. Behind him was a thin young man. It was his son, ou Yulu’s cousin, ou danchen.
“Greetings, Ling clan head, greetings, Lords.” As soon as they entered the martial arts field, ou Lanting saluted Ling mofeng and the others.
“Lanting, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you’re coming? I didn’t send anyone to pick you up. I’ve neglected our honored guest.” Ling mo Feng laughed.
“Hehe, I’m a junior. How can I have the nerve to ask the Lord patriarch to send me? isn’t that humiliating?” Ou Lanting said with a smile, but his expression was a little unnatural.
“Lanting, did you come here today for something?” Ling mofeng asked as he noticed ou Lanting’s strange expression.
“Yes, I do have something to discuss with you, Ling family head.” Ou Lanting said, as if he was embarrassed to say it.
“Speak, we’re all family, what’s there to be afraid of?” Ling mo Feng laughed.
“This … Why don’t we let the juniors leave first? I’ll discuss this with the family head and the elders alone.” Ou Lanting didn’t expect so many people to be gathered in the Ling family today. Not only were the elders present, but almost all the juniors were also present. It was even more difficult for him to speak.
“It’s fine. We’re all family. If it’s not something confidential or important, there’s no harm in saying it.” Ling mo Feng said.
“This, in fact, is not a top secret or important matter, but … Forget it, why don’t we let the juniors disperse first?” Ou Lanting wanted to say something but hesitated.
Ling Chuxi’s heart sank slightly. Ou Yulu had once said that there were many people in the clan who opposed her marriage to Ling Zhongxiao. Among them, her second step, ou Lanting, was the most opposed. Seeing ou Lanting’s troubled expression, could it be that he had come for this matter?
