Long Chen soon reached near the Great Hall. He walked near the door and just as he barely opened the door, he was able to hear the voices from inside. The more he heard, the angrier he got.
"Patriarch, I want you to think about it carefully, after all, the Clan’s future depends on it" A voice ca from inside
" What think about it carefully? Aren’t you just talking about killing my son?" A female voice roared in anger
" Madam Sima, it’s not what we are saying! Also, we are only talking about this because we care for the clan and even more for him" An Elder said.
" The clan had been feeding him such an expensive pill every day for the last three years. Although we have the capacity to feed him the pill for the rest of his life, think of the burden it will place on the clan. We’re a supre clan but still, our resources are limited. We could use the resources we will use to buy those pills for him for the next hundred years to a much better use and build a greater future for our clan" The sa elder let out
" What care for my son? You’re just greedy and worried about the resources and your benefits!! Are you that poor that you want to take the life of my son just for a few resources?" Sima Ziyi roared in anger
"Little Ziyi, Think about it with a calm mind. He had been in that condition for over three years. Every physician had co to check up on him, but they all said that they don’t know what had happened and they can’t treat him. Even if we think of it as a coma, just consider the tornt his soul must be going through as we’re keeping him in this world in such a condition. Even if we keep him alive for the next fifty years using the pills, there won’t be any benefit. He won’t wake up, he will just stay in that state with his soul trapped in his body because you weren’t ready to release him from this cruel fate" Soone else said. Long Chen recognized it as the voice of the Supre Elder Long Hua
"As a mother, Think for the welfare of your son. Free him of this cruel fate" Supre Elder Long Hua further said
"You’re not god!! Stop thinking like you know if my son will wake up or not!! You’re just worried that your second son won’t get enough resources when he grows up" Sima Ziyi said with an anger-filled tone, not caring about the politeness even a little bit
"Patriarch, Only you can make a decision on this matter as you are the Patriarch of this clan and his grandfather as well! You need to make a choice. Peace for his soul and saving resources or wasting the resources to keep tornting his soul" Supre Elder Long Hua said as he looked at Long Ren
"My decision is very clear. As long as I’m alive, my grandson won’t die because of a lack of resources! The clan has many resources and we can earn even more if there’s ever a lack of it! But no one should ever think about my grandson and what he’s getting! " Long Ren said in a deep voice that was able to instill fear in the elders.
"But..." Supre elder wanted to say sothing but stopped as he heard a voice
"Supre Elder, didn’t you hear the Patriarch’s order? You should know that his order is the law of this clan which everyone most follow" Everyone heard a voice. They looked towards the door and saw Long Chen entering the room with a slight smile on his face as he opened the doors completely
Everyone stood up from their seats shocked as they looked like they had seen a ghost
"Aren’t I right grandfather?" Long Chen asked in an innocent tone
" Hahaha Right Right!! About ti you woke up" Long Ren said with a burst of hearty laughter as relief could be seen on his face.
Long Chen turned his face towards her mother but as soon as he turned, A person ca running into his arms as he was hugged tightly
Sima Ziyi kept hugging Long Chen tightly. She felt like he would disappear like a dream if she left him. Tears kept falling from her eyes onto his shoulders making his shoulders wet
He put his arms on her back as he hugged her back
"Everything is fine mother. You don’t need to cry" He said in a soothing voice as he tried to calm her down but her tears didn’t stop, instead, they increased
"Young Nephew, it’s a miracle that you have woken up. I’m so happy for you" Supre elder said with a smile as he neared them
Every elder started congratulating but the ones who were speaking with supre elder just a few monts ago had an awkward expression on their face
"Young Nephew, I wanted to talk to you about sothing. I’ve been waiting for three years for it " The supre Elder said with a smile
"Oh? What is it? I don’t want to make you wait more so You can ask right now? Long Chen said with Sima Ziyi in his arms still hugging him tightly trying to believe that it wasn’t a dream
"Do you rember the ti just before your coma? " Supre elder asked
"Yes, I do, " Long Chen replied
"It’s good. So my question is that the day before you left the mansion for the Northern forest, did you go to my son Long Su’s room and killed his servant?" Supre elder asked
" Yes, I was walking near brother Su’s courtyard when I heard that servant talking bad about grandfather. So in anger, I killed him" Long Chen replied with a smile
" Oh, are you sure? why would he talk bad about patriarch?" Supre elder Long Hua asked as he glanced at Long Chen
" Right, I’m sure it happened. You wouldn’t be trying to call a liar, would You?"Long Chen asked with an innocent look
Long Ren gazed at Supre elder with a slightly angry look
"Of course not. I was just asking. " He hurriedly replied
"Anyways, after you killed...I an punished him for his cri of bad-mouthing patriarch, you left for the Northern black forest." Supre Elder continued
" Right" Long Chen replied.
" I wanted to ask, did you et Long Su inside the forest? He didn’t return from there and couldn’t be found anywhere. I believe that he was sowhere in that Forest" Supre elder muttered
" Are you doubting of killing him? Supre elder, I’m just a First stage formation Establishnt realm cultivator. I can’t even hurt a hair on his head" Long Chen muttered
" I’m not blaming you for killing him. I just wanted to ask if you t him or seen him with soone?" Supre Elder inquired
" I apologize, but I wasn’t able to et bother Su" Long Chen said as he looked at supre elder with an innocent look
" Oh, alright, " Supre elder said with a doubtful tone as he slowly walked back
" Patriarch, since thankfully young Nephew is up, there’s no need for this eting. I’ll be going back" Supre elder said as he left the Great Hall. Other elders left the hall as well but congratulated the patriarch before exiting.
After a brief mont, only long Chen, Sima Ziyi and Long Ren was left in the room
