Cancel the allocation? Didn’t that mean that there wouldn’t be any food for him today? This can’t do. This dish wasn’t what he wanted to eat. If he didn’t take the dish back and let that wretched girl starve to death, that wretched girl might find some excuse to punish him! He couldn’t afford to take the risk.
“When did I offend my superior and beat up my clansmen?” The second elder narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.
“You hit fifth young lady’s attendant.” The brawny man said as he looked at the fifth young lady’s attendant who had not gotten up.
“Hit him? I just threw him to the back of the line, how is that considered hitting him?” The second elder was speechless. Wasn’t this accusation too far-fetched? If a three-year-old child heard this, he would probably laugh his head off.
“Of course!” The brawny man nodded, a hint of pride in his bull eyes.
“Alright! I’ve hit him! Then what was the situation of insubordination? I hope you can clear my doubts!” The second elder said seriously.
“He’s miss Wu’s servant. His status and position are naturally above yours. You’ve offended your superior.” The burly man said.
“Uh!” The second elder was flabbergasted and speechless. Servants were also divided into high and low ranks? did this silly big guy think that they were all people who served the ancestor?
In the ning family, only the people around the old ancestor would receive special treatment from the clan. No one else had that right, let alone an attendant of the fifth miss who was born of a concubine.
However, when beating a dog, one should look at the owner. However, as an ancestor-level figure of the ning family, he could not accept the face of a fifth miss born of a concubine. As the saying goes, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Although he was dismissed from his position as the second elder, his strength was still there! The immortal realm was a world where the strong were respected. Thus, there was no way he would give fifth young miss any face!
“Hmph! You’re afraid! Fifth young lady is someone you can not afford to offend. Quickly go and kowtow and apologize to her attendant. Perhaps if I’m in a good mood, I will help you put in a good word. ” The burly man said smugly. Of course, if the second elder wanted him to say something good, he would have to give him enough benefits. Otherwise, he would not speak.
After the second elder heard what the burly man said, he grabbed the burly man’s collar and pulled him in front of him.
“You said that I went against my superiors and beat my clansmen, right? And you want me to kowtow and apologize to the servant of a concubine’s daughter? You still want to get benefits from me? I’m telling you, dream on! Not to mention beating up an attendant, this old man will also beat you up!” After the second elder finished speaking, he threw the brawny man to the ground again.
The brawny man was just about to curse when he suddenly saw the frightening Shen power in the second elder’s hand and the pressure coming from the second elder. He was instantly dumbfounded.
How ... How could this be possible? Although he couldn’t tell the level of the person in front of him, he didn’t expect the other party to have such terrifying strength. In an instant, he even felt the threat of death so close to him.
Just as the brawny man was tongue-tied and unable to speak, the second elder suddenly retracted his divine power and increased the pressure.
Hmph! To deal with such a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong, it was enough to just use pressure. It would be a waste to even attack!
And the reality was just as the second elder had thought. The frightening pressure had already made it hard for the strong man to breathe. Blood was even seeping out of his seven orifices. Not only that, but the fine blood vessels in the strong man’s eyes had also completely burst, causing his eyes to be red and swollen. His eyes were swollen until they were a line.
The other clansmen were shocked to see this. However, no one was willing to plead for mercy on behalf of the strong man, because none of them dared to provoke the second elder. Fortunately, the pressure released by the second elder was only directed at the strong man. Otherwise, they would also be implicated.
At the thought of this, everyone took a few steps back subconsciously. They were afraid!
“Second elder! Please show mercy!” Suddenly, a man’s voice rang in the second elder’s ears.
The second elder raised his head unwillingly and glanced at the man who had spoken. He then said indifferently,””Who are you, state your name!” At the same time as he spoke, he also withdrew his pressure. Otherwise, that snobbish fellow’s little life would not be guaranteed.
“Second elder! Your subordinate, Ning Dong, will temporarily take over the position of head butler. ” The man who spoke was around 30 years old. He had good facial features and clear eyes. He looked like a refreshing man.
“Oh! So, you’re the new substitute Butler! However, I’m no longer the second elder of the ning family, so don’t call me the wrong person. ” After a long while, the second elder slowly opened his mouth.
“In this subordinate’s heart, no one can replace second elder’s position.” Ning Dong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said carefully. He had heard from his clansmen that the second elder liked to hear people flatter him, so he could only choose what the second elder liked to hear.
“Oh, really? You sure know how to talk, but what a pity! If you think I’ll let your confidant go just because of a few nice words from you, then you’re gravely mistaken. ” The second elder laughed coldly. As a person who had lost his power, his feelings for others were naturally different from the past. Therefore, Ning Dong’s words not only did not gain the second elder’s good impression, but also made things worse.
“This subordinate didn’t mean it that way. Old forefather has misunderstood.” Ning Dong cried bitterly in his heart. This second elder seemed to be different from what he had heard. What should he do? besides, he was not allowed to call him second elder, so he could only call him old ancestor. In terms of the second elder’s seniority, this was quite true.
However, the second elder was still not satisfied.
“Only the family head is worthy of being an ancestor. I’m not worthy!” The second elder teased.
“Uh!” Ning Dong was speechless. The second elder was more difficult to serve than he had imagined, but he could not afford to offend this person. Although the second elder’s position had been removed by the master, he had been arranged by the master to be a bodyguard for his goddaughter. According to the third elder, the master’s love for his goddaughter was unparalleled, so the second elder was even more untouchable.
Previously, when he heard that something had happened here and that the second elder was involved, he had rushed over in a rush. Therefore, until now, he still didn’t know how his subordinate had offended the second elder. If he asked, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to deal with the aftermath. However, he was like walking on thin ice in the ning family. There weren’t many people around him that he could trust. If he let the second elder kill his subordinate in a rage, he would be very willing to bear the consequences.
Ning Dong was very anxious, and the third elder, who he had gone to ask for help, had not appeared. Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to hold the second elder back, in case the old man attacked too heavily and took the lives of his subordinates. However, the second elder did not give him any face at all. He had been struggling for a long time over the way he addressed him. What should he do?
Just as Ning Dong was feeling anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do, the second elder spoke again.
“Oh right! This subordinate of yours has convicted me of a few crimes. He said that I’ve offended my superiors, beat up my clansmen, and even asked me to kowtow and apologize to that trash. ” The second elder pointed at the servant on the ground and said coldly. The coldness in his eyes became more and more serious.
