Seeing this, Chi Rui felt helpless. He could tell that even when Leng ruoxue and the rest arrived, the first elder had no intention of leaving the cell. It seed that grandfather had to personally co forward!
Thinking of this, he bade the great elder farewell and left the cell.
After Chi Rui left the cell, he went straight to the back mountain of the Chi family’s main residence. That was the Chi family’s forbidden area and also the Chi family’s place of seclusion. However, only the family’s respected elders were qualified to cultivate there.
At this mont, his grandfather, the head of the Chi family, was cultivating in seclusion there.
Chi Rui was only allowed to enter after receiving permission from the guards of the forbidden area.
Arriving at the door of his grandfather’s Secret room, Chi Rui said softly,””Grandpa.”
“Co in!” A man’s voice ca from the secret room.
After getting his grandfather’s permission, Chi Rui opened the door of the secret room and walked in.
“Rui ‘er, is there sothing important?” A middle-aged man of about 50 years old sat on a futon and looked at his grandson.
“Grandfather, Chi clan has offended soone they shouldn’t have.” Chi Rui said softly. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t do anything about it, he wouldn’t have bothered his grandfather.
“Rui ‘er, tell the matter clearly. What exactly happened?” The middle-aged man’s brows imdiately furrowed when he heard this, and he spoke with so displeasure.
“Yes.” Chi Rui took a deep breath and explained everything that had happened. However, before he could finish, a ‘bang’ was heard. The table in front of him was smashed by his grandfather.
“Grandpa!” “Grandpa!” Chi Rui called out softly. Although he had expected that his grandfather would be angry when he found out about this, he did not expect that his usually reserved grandfather would show his anger in front of him.
......
“This group of incompetent bastards!” The middle-aged man cursed.
“Grandfather, please don’t be angry. It’s all because I’m too useless. If it wasn’t for the fact that I couldn’t solve this matter, I wouldn’t have dared to trouble you.” Recently, his grandfather had often gone into closed-door cultivation to seek a breakthrough. Although it was not a life-and-death cultivation, he would not bother his grandfather unless it was an important matter.
“How can I bla you for this? What did your uncle say?” The middle-aged man asked.
“Grandpa, I haven’t seen uncle yet!” Chi Rui said honestly.
“Where the hell did he go?” The middle-aged man roared in anger. Damn it, his son had caused such a big trouble, and he, as the Father, was not here. This was outrageous. Fortunately, he had only handed the Chi family to him temporarily. Otherwise, their family would have been defeated by him sooner or later.
“Grandpa, you’d better ask uncle yourself where he is! It’s not convenient for to tell you, but I’ve already sent people to get big Uncle back. ” Chi Rui said with so difficulty.
“Rui ‘er, go and gather the elders. I’ll be there imdiately.” The middle-aged man ordered after so thought.
“Alright,” he said. “Yes, master!” Chi Rui replied and left the forbidden area.
After informing the elders to gather in the eting room, Chi Rui went ahead to wait for them.
The elders arrived one after another. When they saw Chi Rui, they couldn’t help but ask,””Young master, the patriarch and the great elders are not here. Why have you gathered us at this ti?”
“You’ll know in a while. ” Chi Rui said indifferently.
Not long after, the head of the Chi family and the first elder arrived at the eting room.
When the elders saw the family head and first elder who were in closed-door cultivation, they were all puzzled. Uh, weren’t these two in closed-door cultivation together? Why did he co out so quickly?
“Rui ‘er, tell the elders about this!” The head of the Chi family instructed after taking the main seat.
“Yes, Grandpa!” Chi Rui responded and then told the elders about the matter.
When the elders present heard this, their faces all turned pale and they didn’t speak for a long ti. This matter was really too big for them.
After a long while, an elder regained his senses and asked carefully,””Young master, are you sure that person is the head elder of the craftsn’s Guild?”
“If seventh elder doesn’t believe , you can ask the main family to send soone to confirm it. However, I can tell you that the last ti I went to fiery city to attend rui’s wedding, it was this first elder who presided over it.” Chi Rui said indifferently.
“But …” The seventh elder still had so questions, but under the glare of the family head, he didn’t dare to continue asking.
“If the elders still have any doubts about the identity of the great elder, you can just send a Tool Master to the prison to verify it.” At this mont, the Chi family’s first elder coughed and said,”
“Right! Right! It should be verified more clearly!” The seventh elder quickly chid in.
“Seventh elder, if that’s the case, then you should go with Master Feng!” The first elder ordered. Master Feng was a weaponsmith that the Chi family had hired. Even though he was not as famous as Leng Xiaoyu, he was still considered a reputable weaponsmith in the world of blacksmiths.
“Yes. Grand Elder, please be at ease. I will definitely investigate that person’s identity.” The seventh elder promised.
However, when the seventh elder investigated, he was as listless as a frost-beaten eggplant. When everyone saw his expression, they all understood that the person’s identity was probably real.
“Are you willing to believe now?” Chi Rui sneered.
“Young master, you have to think of a way! Otherwise, our Chi clan will be in deep trouble!” The seventh elder begged with tears in his eyes.
“I can’t do anything about this. If I had a way, I wouldn’t have gone to ask grandfather.” Chi Rui’s voice was cold. When sothing happened, he had to think of a solution. Why didn’t he think of him when there was sothing good?
“Young master, I heard that you returned with the Grand Elder and the others? I believe you two have so friendship?” The seventh elder asked.
“We ca back together, but I don’t have much of a relationship with them. Don’t you think about the position of the great elder? Moreover, I can tell you clearly that the great elder is here to collect a debt. ” Chi Rui sneered.
“Rui ‘er, what do you an?” The head of the Chi family asked with a face full of question marks. Was there sothing he didn’t know?
“Grandfather, when Big Uncle arranged for to go to the floating cloud City to investigate the volcano, Ling ‘er also insisted on going with them and even had a conflict with them. The cause was also those two little beasts.” Chi Rui explained simply.
