Xi Nianmo stood up as she took out a green token to slap it on the stone table in front of her, ”This is the Lightning Sword Manor Lord’s token left behind by my father. Could it be that even this token is not allowed to sit here?”

Without waiting for the beardless elder to speak, a youthful looking middle aged man stood up. ”Nianmo, that seat is yours so there is no harm in you sitting on it.”

Xi Nianmo heard this sentence and instantly bowed towards this middle aged man with slightly reddish eyes as she sat back down.

The beardless elder no longer had any objections when he heard the words of the middle aged man.

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart at how difficult this must have been for Xi Nianmo. There was finally someone willing to speak out for her. Moreover, this middle aged man didn’t seem to be any weaker than Xi Baren.

Xi Baren stood up and said with a clear and concise voice, ”A few months ago, little miss Nianmo left the Lightning Sword Manor and the manor had no manor lord in charge for that period of time. That was the reason why we chose Xi Sui to be our temporary Manor Lord…”

The middle aged man, who spoke for Xi Nianmo earlier on, replied, ”Elder Baren, Xi Sui is merely chosen to deal with the few guests in the Lightning Sword Manor for that period of time. He shouldn’t be considered as a temporary manor lord.”

Xi Baren chuckled, ”It is no longer important if he could be considered a temporary manor lord or not. Now that little miss has returned, we should elect our new manor lord. Back then when Old Manor Lord left the Lightning Sword Manor, he didn’t indicate his preference on who should be the next manor lord. Fortunately for us, even though Old Manor Lord didn’t return, he left behind two blood related descendant. Nianmo and Xi Sui…”

”Elder Baren, my father would return sooner or later. You shouldn’t be spouting nonsense about some things.” Xi Nianmo’s slightly icy tone interjected Xi Baren’s words.

”Fellow elders, little miss Nianmo should be the next manor lord. I’ve let down Sui’Er’s father, I…” A weak sounding female voice was heard and before she could even finish her sentence, she started sobbing in front of everyone.

Mo Wuji saw the woman speaking and was praising this woman’s beauty in his heart. Not only did she possess an exceptionally gorgeous face, she even had an extremely tender looking skin.

Beside this woman was a man and another woman. The man looked young and ugly with a thin and gloomy eyes. The woman had her head lowered and appeared to be pregnant.

”Sister-in-law, you wouldn’t need to care about this matter anymore. Regardless, the fact that you could raise young master into an adult in silence was already something difficult.” The previous beardless elder sighed as he comforted the sobbing woman.

Xi Nianmo was so furious that she started trembling slightly. She knew that this woman had absolutely no relations with her father but she was unable to prove it.

Xi Jun, who was seated beside Xi Nianmo, said lividly, ”A b*stard like him is also worthy to be the Lightning Sword Manor Lord?”

”Who are you calling a b*stard?” The thin eyes youth suddenly stood up in fury.

Xi Baren said with a stern face, ”Elder Jun, Young Master Sui had been through the Xi Clan’s blood test about a month ago. Results proved that he was indeed Old Manor Lord’s son. Even though both female and male are qualified to be the manor lord of our Lightning Sword Manor, everyone knows that Xi Sui is slightly more apt for the position. I would also prefer Nianmo to be the manor lord but I cannot lie that Xi Sui would be more suitable.”

Mo Wuji looked blankly at Xi Baren and instantly concluded that it must take some skills to be as horrible a human as Xi Baren was.

”Aunt Jun, there’s no need to say anything else. Since this is the case, let’s carry on with the selection of the Manor Lord.” Xi Nianmo said with a calm tone but her heart was trembling in fear.

This was because she knew that Fan Sui never had her father’s blood but Xi Baren actually said that he was also a blood descendant of the Xi Clan. Even so, Elder Xi Yibo didn’t actually step out to object. This proved that Xi Baren’s test was actually true.

”Nianmo, the Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor has to be…”

Before Xi Baren could continue, Xi Nianmo raised Mo Wuji’s hand as she said, ”Let me introduce him to everyone. This is my husband, Mo Wuji, and he would be a member of my Lightning Sword Manor in the future. Because of some reasons, his brain suffered a shock but he is as interested as me in the affairs and well-being of the Lightning Sword Manor.”

”Nianmo…” Hearing that Xi Nianmo actually called Mo Wuji out to be her husband, the youthful looking middle age man with thin eyes could no longer contain his anger anymore.

The beardless elder stood up once again, ”Nianmo, we can understand your frustrations. You should know that to enter the clan’s meeting hall, one had to bear the rinsing of the clan’s meeting hall lightning pond right? Otherwise, even a blood descendant wouldn’t be qualified to enter this place.”

”Elder Xi Ti, what do you mean by this?” Xi Nianmo’s face started turning pale. Without mentioning the fact that Mo Wuji had his spiritual roots blackened, he shouldn’t be rinsing himself in the lightning pond even if his spiritual roots were not blackened.

So this person was called Xi Ti. Mo Wuji was certain that this beardless elder was working for Fan Sui. Only at this moment did Mo Wuji finally understood what was the purpose of this lightning pond.

”What I meant to say is that if one is unable to rinse himself in this lightning pond, he wouldn’t be qualified to be the uncle of my Lightning Sword Manor.” Xi Ti said with a cold tone.

Mo Wuji had no idea how powerful this lightning pond was but he was certain that he would be able to bear with it. However, he would definitely not step out to say he could rinse himself there at a point like this.

”Big Brother Yibo, what are your takes on this?” Xi Jun saw that Xi Nianmo was speechless so her eyes landed back on that youthful looking elder.

Xi Yibo said slowly, ”Everyone here are members of the Lightning Sword Manor and a few months ago, Xi Sui’s wife was also unable to rinse herself in this lightning pond. Only after she cultivated our Lightning Sword Manor’s cultivation technique, she managed to rinse herself there. Why don’t we let uncle cultivate here in the Lightning Sword Manor for a few months before putting him through the test.”
