Chapter 109 - Supreme Great Ancestor (2/2)

Ni Xueming was stunned, and he could not help but laugh. “Little girl, don’t cause any trouble!”

“First Grandfather, do Elder Brother and I look like mischievous people?” Ni Yinghong blinked.

Ni Xueming and many elders were startled, and they quickly began thinking. ‘Ni Yunhong and his younger sister clearly knew that the suggestion won’t be accepted, yet they stuck to their opinion. There must be a reason behind it.’

Just as Ni Xueming wanted to question the siblings after some hesitation, a hoa.r.s.e voice was heard. “Hehe, it’s so lively here…”

The faces of the elders who were present changed right away, and they stood up at the same time to greet respectfully, “Welcome, Great Ancestor.”

An elder paced slowly out of the inner hall, and nodded after seeing everyone. “Sit down.”

The Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors were the real pillars and masters in the clan. Although Ni Jingtong was the only one who came, his pressure was so enormous that everyone in the room found it hard to breathe.

Ni Xueming quickly approached him to apologize, “Great Ancestor, I’m truly unfilial to have alarmed you, I deserve to die.”

“I wanted to be more active after resting for a long time, so I’m out for some exercise, it’s fine.”

“Second Great-grandfather!” Ni Yinghong had a cheerful smile on her face, and did not look surprised at all.

The other elders were immediately shocked. It was no wonder the siblings were so fearless; they had already contacted the great ancestor before they returned. That said, the fact that the great ancestor had personally come to support them was out of their expectations.

Ni Jingtong showed a satisfied smile when he saw the siblings. “Yunhong, Yinghong, come sit next to me.”

The Yang Grade powerhouses were envious, and they looked at the siblings in a more friendly manner than before. Even the two elders who were the most displeased with them earlier were full of smiles at the moment.

Nevertheless, n.o.body knew what exactly the two elders were thinking.

Ni Yinghong beat Ni Yunhong to it, where she quickly went over to Ni Jingtong and said, “Second Great-grandfather, you’re out from isolated cultivation.”

“You quirky little girl, I came out because I’ve missed you.” Ni Jingtong smiled with his eyes so squinted that they could almost not be seen.

Ni Yinghong pouted her lips and complained, “Second Great-grandfather, you’re lying again. If it wasn’t for Elder Brother’s letter, would you have come out?

The other Yang Grade powerhouses looked at each other and lamented. The only person in the entire Ni family who could be so unrestrained in front of the great ancestor was probably the little sprite who was deeply doted on by the three great ancestors.

“Oh no, does the princess not trust me anymore?” Instead of being mad, Ni Jingtong actually laughed out loud. “I’ve really missed you, and I wanted to hear your voice, so I came out of isolated cultivation.”

Ni Xueshu cleared his throat. “Great Ancestor,

you…”

“Alright, your business is important, I won’t be nagging.” Ni Jingtong waved his hand, then continued after a pause, “I’ll only be sitting here to watch, and I won’t interfere. Do what you need to do, and just pretend I’m not here.”

The other elders gasped. ‘You make it sound so nice, but if you don’t actually want to interfere, why are you still sitting here? Pretend you’re not here? That’s what you say, but if we actually do that, what will the consequences be?’

Upon having the thought, even Ni Xueshu’s temper rose.

“Uhm.” Ni Xueming straightened his skinny body and said righteously, “Actually, I think Yunhong and Yinghong have their reasons to request the pills and to open the Testimony Path. I believe that the eldest son of the clan’s eldest son and his first wife will never do anything to harm the clan, so I agree.”

The rest of the elders were dumbfounded. They cast strange looks at him, and secretly cursed the two-faced man for bullying the weak but fearing the strong.

Despite feeling unresigned to the outcome, n.o.body dared to object to Ni Yunhong’s suggestion anymore because Ni Jingtong was present.

Hence, the elders began having contrasting views.

Just as they fought to give their opinions, Ni Jingtong, who had been resting with his eyes shut, coughed out of the blue. It was an extremely soft cough, but the room fell dead silent in an instant such that n.o.body dared to take another breath.

“Yunhong and Yinghong sent me a letter to say that they have something to report about our ancestor’s legacy,” Ni Jingtong announced slowly and said with fiery eyes, “I’m not aware of the exact situation, but I’m sure they won’t fool me with something like that.”
