Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya just sneered at his words.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
She almost laughed out of anger.
He looked at Old Man Ji with a chilly gaze.
"No matter how good Ji Fangcun is, he is not worth Miss Gan's attention for so long. What's more, they have only met a few times before. Why does Miss Gan insist on marrying him? "
Old Ji could not answer this question. He was probably feeling guilty, for his forehead kept sweating.
Heh, he wants to stir up trouble with such little ability?
Lin Mengya asked coldly, "I'm afraid Gan Tongze values his identity as the son-in-law of the Li family."
Seeing that all his schemes were exposed, Old Ji was so scared that he did not dare to breathe.
Indeed, Gan Tongze came to him to trick Ji Fangcun out of the Li family.
As for whether he really wanted to marry Miss Gan, he was not sure.
From the beginning to the end, he only wanted the 100 taels of silver that Gan Tongze promised.
Lin Mengya really looked down on the man in front of her.
"After selling off his grandson, he sells off his son. What did Ji Fangcun do in his previous life to have a father like you?"
She was also a parent, so she was more indignant toward Old Ji.
But a scumbag was a scumbag after all. Not only did Old Ji not admit his mistake, he even muttered in a low voice.
"I'm his father, it's only right for him to take care of me!"
Lin Mengya could not be bothered to pay attention to him.
Such a person would not learn propriety and honor even in death.
"Hand him over to the Li family. Don't let him die. When Ji Fangcun comes back, let him deal with it himself."
She ordered casually, and someone did it.
On the other side, Long Tianhao met Gan Tongze personally.
"I've long heard of your reputation, Temple Master. Seeing you today, I feel that you shouldn't get involved in such trifles."
Gan Tongze's words sounded nice, but in fact, he was not afraid.
Of course, the aboriginals only recognized the Elders Council and the Celestial Beings.
To them, the aristocratic families, even the Divine Temple and the royal family were just ordinary people and had nothing to do with them.
No matter how powerful the Temple Master was, he could not control them, right?
Long Tianhao looked indifferent and was not affected by him at all.
"May I know how Old Patriarch Gan is doing recently?"
Gan Tongze did not know why he suddenly mentioned the Old Master. He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern. The Old Master is still in good spirits."
But what Long Tianhao said next made his expression change slightly.
"That's true. Old Patriarch Gan's internal energy was profound when he was young. Unfortunately, he must have spent a lot of effort to resist the flame poison over the years."
The word "Flame Poison" was like Gan Tongze's Achilles' heel.
His expression darkened as he stared sharply at the man in front of him.
After a while, he finally spoke with an unclear expression.
"How did Your Highness find out about this?"
"Back then, when my master traveled to the aboriginals, Old Patriarch Gan begged him to find a way to cure the poison. Speaking of which, although the immersion in the cold pond could temporarily alleviate the heat poison, it was a pity that it was hot on the inside and cold on the outside. Over the years, it would definitely damage the body. I'm afraid that Old Master Gan's life hasn't been too good recently. "
Long Tianhao's attitude was so firm that Gan Tongze could only nod his head even if he wanted to deny it.
The man in front of him had given him a lot of pressure.
This was especially so when he saw that victory was within his grasp. It made him feel that there was nowhere for him to hide his little thoughts.
This feeling of being completely seen through was not good at all.
Gan Tongze was considered a big shot in the Gan family. This was the first time that he was oppressed to the point that he had no strength to fight back.
He couldn't help but be a little more vigilant in his eyes.
"Before I came here, my master had asked me to bring something to Old Patriarch Gan, which could alleviate his current illness. Old Patriarch Gan is old, and I'm afraid he can't stand much suffering. "
Long Tianhao deliberately stirred up his appetite.
But Gan Tongze was not a fool.
He must have mentioned this matter at this time to negotiate with them.
But unfortunately, Long Tianhao held the lifeline of the Gan family.
Although Old Patriarch Gan was old, his reputation and status in the family were quite high.
Now they understood the situation of the Elders' Conference.
If Old Patriarch Gan gave up at this time, the Gan family would probably become the next Li family.
What was worse was that at that time, there might not be another Lin Mengya to save them.
Gan Tongze's face became even more ugly, but he had to answer Long Tianhao.
"Temple Master, you can say what you want to say."
Long Tianhao looked at him with satisfaction and said in a relaxed tone.
"In fact, it's nothing. As long as the Gan family doesn't make trouble for my wife, I can make Old Patriarch Gan suffer less."
Gan Tongze gritted his teeth when he heard this.
"Temple Master, are you deliberately making things difficult for us? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with your wife. This is an internal matter of the ancient family. As long as your wife withdraws, I will not make things difficult for her. "
"Ha."
Unexpectedly, Long Tianhao sneered at her.
"It's not up to you whether it has anything to do with you or not. As long as my wife is willing, she can do whatever she wants."
Gan Tongze was so angry that he almost fainted.
These people were even more unreasonable than him!
"Your Highness! The ancient family is not like the outside world. If you and your wife insist on getting involved in this mess, don't blame me for not warning you! "
In the face of Gan Tongze's verbal threat, Long Tianhao only smiled.
"You don't have to worry about it. Please pass on my message to the Gan family. I don't care what you want to do. But if you dare to stop my wife, you will be turned into ashes. "
His words were so arrogant that Gan Tongze shuddered with fear.
If anyone else in this world said this, the Gan family would not take it seriously.
The only exception was the mysterious and unfathomable current Hall Master.
"Someone, send Mr. Gan away."
Outside, a guard had already opened the door and gestured for them to enter.
Gan Tongze wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only leave anxiously.
But Long Tianhao was very clear that they would come back.
Because he still had something that could determine the fate of the Gan family in his hands.
Lin Mengya also knew about the situation over there through Cai Ru, who was the messenger.
She was only a little surprised to know that Long Tianhao had let Gan Tongze go.
But she trusted Long Tianhao very much. At the same time, she was very clear that the Gan family's target had always been the Li family.
This time, they asked Old Ji to ask for Gan Tongze, just to find out some secrets of the Li family from Ji Fangcun.
And Gan Tongze could not be moved at present.
After a busy day, Li Ao, who was responsible for sending Gan Tongze out, came back in the evening.
Lin Mengya was discussing the Gan family with Long Tianhao, when she saw that person walking over with a serious face.
"But what happened on the road?
Did you encounter any trouble? "She asked.
Li Ao shook his head and said, "Nothing, but something happened to Mr. Huo."
"What's wrong?" Lin Mengya asked.
Li Ao hesitated for a moment, and only told her what he was sure about.
It turned out that someone sent a letter to Mr. Huo in the name of the Elders' Association.
The content of the letter basically said that the Elders' Association was now giving them a chance to return to the family and reunite with their relatives.
But because they grew up outside the family and their bloodline was not pure, they had to go to the Elders' Association to "atone" for their sins.
Although Li Ao had tried his best to be tactful, Lin Mengya could still hear the arrogance of the Elders' Association.
Generally speaking, she thought that Mr. Huo would not accept it.
However, there were quite a number of Fortune Tellers. Other than the portion that was rescued by Mr. Huo, there should be others hidden by Mr. Huo.
When there were a lot of people, it was inevitable that their thoughts would be complicated.
As the leader of this group of people, Mr. Huo could not ignore the opinions of everyone.
"Is this the Elders' Association's way of taking drastic measures against us?"
Lin Mengya was a little angry.
What did the Elders think of them as?
When they did not want to acknowledge them, they ordered them around like animals.
Now that they wanted to acknowledge them, they put on a high and mighty face. Even if those people returned to the family, they might still be discriminated against.
Unlike Lin Mengya, Long Tianhao thought for a while before he spoke.
"At present, they should not know about our cooperation with Mr. Huo."
"Since they don't know, why are they doing this? Are they being kind? I don't think so! "
Lin Mengya had never liked the Elders of the Ancient Clan.
Long Tianhao thought for a while and said, "I think they want those people to cut off our path of retreat."
Although they might not know about Mr. Huo's cooperation with them, one thing was for sure. With Mr. Huo's current influence and power, if he really turned against them, he could at least cut off their path of retreat.
From this point, it could be seen that the Elders had always been aware of what had happened to those people.
This made Lin Mengya feel even more bitterly disappointed.
"I don't think Mr. Huo will agree, but who knows?"
Lin Mengya sighed heavily.
Those people said that they wanted revenge, but more importantly, they hoped that the aboriginals could give them an explanation.
To put it bluntly, they also hoped that the aboriginals could give them recognition or reunite with their families.
Now that this opportunity was close at hand, they did not even need to bleed or sacrifice. They only needed to sacrifice part of their dignity.
She did not know if they would agree to such an exchange.
Long Tianhao gently squeezed her hand, and there was a comforting look in his eyes.
"Let's still be prepared. Don't worry, even if Mr. Huo agrees, I will not leave you with no way out."
Lin Mengya's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
She gently nodded as she held his hand.
"I believe you. Moreover, if we can't retreat, then we'll just do our best to move forward. "
When had she ever been afraid of not having a way out?
Long Tianhao understood her courage and couldn't help but smile.
"That's good."
Li Ao, who had been thinking at the side, felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was very intimate and harmonious. It made him feel like he was an extra person and could not help but feel a little envious.
It would be great if there was someone to accompany her in this lonely world.
