Chapter 16: Forced Abdication!
Trouble’s brewing!
The entire Ling Fa, the two rarely seen elders, by Du Jiaolan’s side They realized that so was about to happen
The reason that Du Jiaolan had bided her ti the intricacies of the tunnels at Herb Mountain was solely for today!
She wanted to wait for an occasion where all of the Ling Faether so that she could execute her plan of deposition in the presence of everyone!
Ling Chengye felt a sudden chill down his spine
Ling Xiang and Ling Bo were both eneration that had er Due to so injuries, they had chosen to live in seclusion and never bothered inquiring about the happenings of the clan
As such, he gradually began to disregard the two elders He didn't expect that the two of them would actually side with Du Jiaolan without any prior notice
“No wonder both the elders’ grandsons had a few extra spirit artifacts and a sudden surge in their cultivation Seems like these two elders struck a deal behind the scenes for the sake of their grandsons’ futures”
The coht, co doubts from the crowd
This very azes, coldly fixating upon Ling Feng
Ling Feng scoffed
“Does it even concern you? Do not interrupt theed at his shi+rt in an atterievance against hi you can do so easily” Ling Kangan was an elder who had always supported Ling Chengye because he knew that the patriarch was the one who toiled the hardest for the family and had never harbored any sort of selfish motives Hence, he loudly proclaier to our clan through his errors or has abused his power for personal gain, sha the clan’s success, can the elders even discuss about deposing hi towards the other two elders, his expression grew cold and he said with a hmph, ”The physical health of you two brothers has always been lacking, but it had never been a pressing concern However, have your brains started to fail you as well? Have you really been unable to see the efforts that Chengye has put in for the fa Bo both felt guilty and did not dare totheir heads
“In this case, I shalleveryone’s attention back to her
Froye and faced hi an aura not the least bit weaker than his and harshly stated, ”The various spirit plants and herbs on our Herb Mountain have always been our Ling Family’s number one priority We are required to pay a yearly tribute of spirit plants to Nebula Pavilion in exchange for their protection As per your arrangement, this has always been brother-in-law’s responsibility However, the spirit plants are all withered now The people fro us to pay our tributes, yet our Ling Faradually losing patience…”
With regards to theFa Du Jiaolan’s beratehtly
The Ling Family was a vassal of Nebula Pavilion If they were to continue deferring their payment of spirit herbs for an extended period of tier receive the protection of Nebula Pavilion, theythe entire Ling Family into a serious predicament
Du Jiaolan’s words silenced everyone as they started to contemplate the possible repercussions
“And that, is but only the first issue!”
After planting doubt about Ling Chengye’s capabilities in everyone’s hearts, Du Jiaolan spoke again, ”Big Brother, please make it clear, what exactly is up with the tunnels in Herb Mountain? Heng’er went to take a look a few nights ago, can anyone here guess what he saw?”
Ling Chengye’s face fell in horror as she pressed on coldly, ”There are now several hundred tunnels within Herb Mountain! The nureatly increased, whichhad never even soBrother, you reat a But why is it that I have yet to see a single piece of ore in our Ling Faoes, ‘a tossed stone raises a thousand ripples’ Her words further shook the Ling Fa valuable within Herb Mountain, ould there be such extensive tunnels? If precious ores were discovered, where did they go? Did big brother take it all for hi her sarcastic save the inner portion of Herb Mountain to Qin Farandson pair, it had actually been a well thought out plan! Further on your orders I’ure out what it is that you want to conceal!”
“Chengye, shouldn’t you give us an explanation regarding the inner portion of Herb Mountain?” Clan Elder Ling Xiang raised his head at this ation as he too suspected that all the spirit stones froye
Even though the re Chengye, now, they couldn’t help but start to suspect hied onto him
“I only discovered the situation within Herb Mountain recently, andthis matter and have yet to coood as confessing to all of Du Jiaolan’s accusations A coo, after I allowed Qin Farandson pair to use the inner portion of the mine within the mountain, I have not set foot in there I am just as unaware and perplexed about what happened as you are”
After his statement, he turned to look deeply at Qin Lie The audience too turned, yet no one could guess what really happened even after staring at hi to fool?” Du Jiaolan’s face turned even colder “If you had no part in it, how is it possible for just the two of the Fa a few dozen of those tunnels, yet you are saying that they outdid us so many times over in just five years? Moreover, Qin Shan passed ao years ago Who would believe you?”
Ling Chengye looked at the surrounding clantheir heads in obvious disbelief
“If Qin Shan’s cultivation level had reached the Fragmentation Real Destroying Herb Mountain itself would be no ye helplessly replied
“Haha, what a total joke! Even if aour Ling Family?” Du Jiaolan sarcastically spat out
The surrounding people continued shaking their heads in further disbelief
“Also, I don’t understand the rationale behind the betrothrown e? Our clan’s Little shi+ is so pure and pretty like a flower Of all the people to betroth her to, you chose this fool?” Srâce ”Could it be that you and Qin Shan struck so Yushi+? What could this fool possibly give Little shi+? I aift he has prepared Uncle Fu, open up the bridal gift for all of us to see!”
