Chapter 36 (2/2)

Pulling this stuff again. Ren Jie knew what tricks they were trying to play once he heard that. It wasn’t the first or second time either. As the family head of the Rens, when there were important events, important guests to be received, there were set rules.

For example, with the Fang’s family head, Fang Tianen, making an official visit, Ren Jie had to receive him with ceremony accompanied by the elders. By then, he would just be a piece of decoration. Of course, the Ren Jie these days was different from before, he would not spare the useless effort to get entangled with the elders in such matter that didn’t have any benefits for him.

“Tell Fang Tianen, seeing that he’s anxious to save his daughter, I will rush to the Fang residence now. Get Fatty and have Uncle Beast get ready,” Ren Jie said and was already up and walking out.

“I will gather the people now.” Tong Qiang replied and prepared to go gather the personal guards.

“There’s no need.” Ren Jie stopped him and said, “You people are uncomfortable wearing those armors too, and if you don’t wear it, your mental state could be observed even more easily by people with motives, and it’s difficult to avoid slip-ups. It’s better if all of you remain at home and continue working hard in cultivation. Besides, it’s not like I’m going to some dragon’s lair and tiger’s cave. You can supervise everyone in cultivation, no slacking off.”

At the entrance of the Ren’s Conference Hall, the guards around were commanding. Ren Junyang led Ren Hanlin and Ren Wenxu as they stood at the entrance. Looking right out, several miles ahead was the main gates. From afar, they could faintly see the entourage of the Fang’s family head steadily approaching.

“Hmph, the person’s about to arrive and he’s actually still not here.” Ren Hanlin commented with extreme displeasure.

Ren Wenxu watched Fang Tianen’s entourage that was coming from afar. “It seems Fang Tianen is also a drowning man clutching at a straw, he has really run out of ideas and is in a disarray. Previously, that side had sent Fang Yan over. He spat blood and left after being humiliated by that great family head of ours. Today, he’s actually here personally, we really don’t know how this will end. A poison that the entire Fang family can do nothing about, the imperial physicians are at a loss, and even a middle-grade Life-preserving Panacea cannot save from, he actually said he had a solution for it. If he fails to deal with this, the Fang family might become the next Gao family.”

“It’s coming to the end of the year. I think there’s a need to convene a full Elders’ Meeting to discipline him. If we allow him to continue wreaking havoc like this, by then, everyone in Jade Capital will become enemies of the Ren family.”

Even if it was back when Ren Tianxing was the family head, it was impossible that he wouldn’t give them this bit of respect and dignity. If there was an issue, it could be settled internally. But he actually made it so big.

This wasn’t only about Ren Qiancheng’s issue, but that he, Ren Hanlin, had been thoroughly embarrassed too.

“We’ll see. In a short while, we better have him make it clear, exactly what ultimate treasure of an antidote the old family head left behind. If it can really remedy the poison that Fang Qi is suffering from, then this treasure is very important to the entire Ren family.” Ren Junyang refrained from commenting, more of it was pondering over this matter.

Ren Hanlin and Ren Wenxu immediately understood what Ren Junyang meant once they listened to him. The two quickly nodded.

“Hmm, why has the entourage stopped. Who is that?” All of a sudden, they saw that the entourage only three, four hundred meters from them came to an abrupt stop. Ren Hanlin was slightly stunned.

“Tong Qiang, what is he doing here?” Ren Junyang was also frowning.

“Let’s go.” Unexpectedly, the entourage of the Fang family head that was not far from them suddenly turned around, the last team became the front team, then they sped up and disappeared in the blink of an eye, spurring away from the main gate.

What… what was going on?

Leaving behind Ren Junyang and the two other elders in a daze, utterly embarrassed, unsure of what had happened.

They were waiting to receive him, now the person had actually suddenly turned around and left. What was this?

When they’d wanted to stop Tong Qiang, they realized that he’d also left after giving them the message. At last, Ren Hanlin could only give orders for the guards beside them to come over. Fortunately, Tong Qiang hadn’t whispered or used any voice transmission earlier, so the guards at the side knew what had happened.

He’d gone directly to the Fang’s residence, it was no wonder Fang Tianen had instantly turned around and left.

“Boom… Detestable, isn’t he fooling us?” Ren Hanlin was already really furious. Knowing that he had been fooled, he stomped and the thick stone beneath his feet was reduced to powder.

“What is he becoming, virtually… virtually absurd.” Ren Wenxu looked to Ren Junyang and said, “Second Elder, we’ve got to properly discipline this family head of ours. If he goes out like this, the Ren family will be destroyed by him.”

“This is his personal matter, how are we to interfere. We will just guard the Ren residence and prevent him from acting recklessly. Everything will wait until the full Elders’ Meeting.” Ren Junyang’s expression was dark. He left directly after replying.
