Chapter 156 - The First Elder's Condition (6)
She walked to Feng Moran’s room, knocked on the door, and entered with Freak.
“Xue’er, why are you here?” Feng Moran was surprised to see them.
“Your parents went to the general’s mansion this morning,” Freak said in a peculiar tone with a very unhappy expression.
“Xue’er, don’t listen to them. I really don’t want to be the young master,” Feng Moran explained anxiously.
“Big Brother Feng, I know. I’m not here to persuade you. Bring me to see the Feng family’s first elder!” Leng Ruoxue interrupted Feng Moran.
“Do you really want to see him?”
“Yes.”
“Alright. But don’t agree to any of the first elder’s conditions for my sake,” Feng Moran said with a warning look in his eyes. He owed Xue’er enough.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Feng Moran brought Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen to the first elder’s residence. No one stopped him on the way…
“All of you wait outside. Only Miss Leng is allowed to enter,” the first elder in the house instructed.
“Xue’er…” Freak grabbed Leng Ruoxue, who was about to enter the house, and glared at the dirty old geezer in the house with displeasure. Hmph, this old pervert actually only wants Xue’er to see him alone!
“Be good and wait for me outside,” Leng Ruoxue said as she walked into the house.
“First Elder, what are your conditions? Tell me!” Leng Ruoxue said bluntly.
“Miss Leng, to tell you the truth, our Feng family currently lacks reserve strength, and many of our descendants do not have good aptitude. Moran is the best in our younger generation, so under Moran’s lead, our Feng family will definitely become more prosperous,” the first elder said earnestly, his face full of anticipation.
“First Elder, if Big Brother Feng wants to be the young master, I will certainly support him. But now, he doesn’t want to do it himself, and I don’t want anyone to force him.” Leng Ruoxue told the first elder her thoughts. She hoped that everyone under her protection could live happily.
“The Feng family is the second Great Family. How honorable is it to become the young master of the Feng family? How did it become forcing him?” The first elder was a little angry as he spoke. If such a thing happened to others, they would be overjoyed, but there was actually someone unwilling. He really couldn’t understand.
“First Elder, this might be an honor for others, but it’s nothing for people who don’t value fame and fortune.” What Leng Ruoxue implied was that Feng Moran was someone who didn’t value fame and fortune.
“He will regret it in the future!” the first elder roared. It wasn’t easy for him to finally favor a junior of the family.
“That’s his own choice,” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. Since he had chosen, there was no need to regret. After all, everyone had to be responsible for their choices. There was no medicine for regret in the world.
“Since you call him Big Brother, shouldn’t you plan for his future?” the first elder questioned with a glare and released a slight trace of his might.
“I am planning for his future. Big Brother Feng is a person who yearns for freedom. I can’t let him be bound in this mansion and yard to lead a depressed life unless it’s his own choice,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently, not at all afraid of the first elder’s might.
“It’s fine if he doesn’t want to be the young master. I still have the same condition,” the first elder said without relenting.
“First Elder, why make things so difficult for Big Brother Feng? You just want to find a young master for the Feng family,” Leng Ruoxue said.
“No one in the Feng family is more suitable than Moran,” the first elder said stubbornly, his thoughts remaining unchanged.
“But Big Brother Feng doesn’t want to do it. First Elder, your condition is a little too much for Big Brother Feng. How about this, let’s negotiate a deal?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the first elder with a face full of mystery.
“What deal? Unless my Feng family can produce a genius young master, there’s no need to negotiate,” the first elder said without any room for negotiation. This was already his lowest requirement. He also knew that a divine beast was a little unrealistic.
“What if I have a way to make the Feng family produce a hundred geniuses?” Leng Ruoxue threw out big bait. She didn’t believe that this cunning old fox wouldn’t take the bait.
“A hundred? Are you joking? How is that possible?” The first elder didn’t believe Leng Ruoxue could do it at all.
“I’m not joking. Nothing is impossible. I just don’t know if First Elder will agree or not.” Leng Ruoxue waited patiently for the first elder’s decision.
“If you can really do it, then I’ll agree to it,” the first elder said resolutely after thinking for a while and steeling his heart.
“First Elder is a straightforward person, so I won’t say anything unnecessary.” Leng Ruoxue took out a small jade bottle and handed it to the first elder.
“What are these? Pills?” The first elder opened it to take a look. There were about a hundred pearl-like pills inside.
“These are remolding pills,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“Remolding pills? Miss Leng, do you think I don’t know about pills? Everyone knows that remolding pills are the most useless pill on the Ling Feng Continent and don’t have good effects,” the first elder said sullenly.
“First Elder, how can you be as short-sighted as ordinary people? Since I said I would give you a hundred geniuses, why would I lie to you?” Leng Ruoxue said with slight displeasure. She knew very well that when dealing with people who had been in high positions for a long time, it was absolutely impossible to be too weak.
“Could it be that your remolding pills are different?” the first elder asked with a puzzled look.
“These are true remolding pill. Otherwise, how do you think Big Brother Feng became a genius?” Leng Ruoxue explained lightly.
“You’re saying…” The first elder quickly stopped talking. His face was full of excitement as he held the jade bottle tightly in his hand. If this was true, then the Feng family… He simply didn’t dare to imagine how powerful the Feng family would be in the future.
“First Elder, there are a hundred remolding pills inside. But I suggest you choose some descendants with good character to consume them. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if there are too many geniuses,” Leng Ruoxue suggested very kindly.
“Thank you for your reminder, Miss Leng. I will choose wisely,” the first elder said gratefully. To be honest, he did intend to choose some with better aptitudes to remold. After all, this was an unwritten rule of every family. But after hearing Leng Ruoxue’s reminder, he couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. He couldn’t imagine that if he really chose people according to his original plan, it would probably be nothing but a disaster for the Feng family.
