"Let go of me. I must teach this guy a lesson!"
The young man struggled but couldn't break free. He couldn't help but vent his anger on his fellow clansmen.
But his fellow clansmen stopped him out of good intentions.
He didn't care about his insolence and whispered to him.
"Have you forgotten what the elders in the family said before you came?"
"But he's too much!"
The young man was still indignant.
Although the Zhao family wasn't a big family, they still had some dignity over the years.
But he didn't expect to be ridiculed by this filthy thing. How could he take it lying down?
But his fellow clansmen said, "Elder Zhao isn't here yet. Let him be arrogant for a while."
In other words, he was waiting for Zhao Yixuan to arrive before dealing with him.
"But …"
The young man's eyes flashed with anxiety.
In the past, they could have done that. After all, Elder Zhao was their clansman and their backer.
But before he came this time, he accidentally heard from the adults in the family that the couple from the south yard had offended Elder Zhao.
Compared to his parents' schadenfreude, he was more worried about whether Elder Zhao would vent his anger on them.
After such a ruckus, would Elder Zhao really treat them the same as before?
He had secretly asked his parents this question, but the answer he got was the same.
"He won't have the guts to break off relations with the family. The Zhao family is his foundation. Without the support of the Zhao family, he will lose his value in the Elders' Guild. Who would have the guts to destroy his own future? "
This was his father's assurance.
And in his father's opinion, the reason why Zhao Yixuan could get the fame and status he had today was because of the Zhao family's support.
But was that really the case?
The young man didn't dare to believe his father's words.
He remembered that Zhao Yixuan, who was supposed to be his uncle, had made a strong return after disappearing for many years.
Before that, the clan had never publicly supported Zhao Yixuan.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt more uneasy.
He didn't have time to care about the vulgar man's repeated mockery. He just kept looking around the crowd, trying to find that familiar yet strange figure.
Finally, Lin Mengya and the rest arrived at the ancient clan meeting hall.
The appearance of the husband and wife set off a heated discussion among countless people.
Everyone was marveling at the graceful bearing of the two, but there were also people who quietly hid at the side, waiting to see the two of them make a fool of themselves.
No one came out to greet the two of them in the huge meeting hall.
No matter what, they were guests of the Ancient race.
Even if it was out of courtesy, the clan should have arranged for someone to lead them in.
Long Tianhao pressed Lin Mengya's hand, and she gave him a look that said, "Don't worry."
Regardless of whether the other party had "forgotten" or intentionally neglected them, if they wanted to make the couple fearful with just this little trick, then they were underestimating them too much.
Everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
But no one stood up to help them out of this predicament.
There were even a few families that were waiting to watch a good show.
After all, the Gong family was just an abandoned clan of the ancient clan.
Even if they wanted it back, it should be the Gong Family who was humble enough to beg them.
Lin Mengya didn't care about the looks in everyone's eyes.
She walked into the meeting hall with Long Tianhao, and then —
"Oh my, this is really …"
As Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao sat down, there was a clamor of discussion among the people around them.
The reason was that Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao were sitting at the head of the table on the far right.
According to the rules of the ancient race, the left was the right side of the table. Therefore, the head of the family usually sat on the left side, while the right side was for the distinguished guests.
But under normal circumstances, the Yue Zhengjia and the Pei Family sat on the left side of the table.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao were occupying the Pei Family's seats.
Instantly, the gloomy Master Pei, who was hiding in the crowd, looked even worse.
"Unruly things, this is not a place where you can act presumptuously!"
His words were directed at Lin Mengya.
Unfortunately, the other party just smiled and said, "Rules? Are there any rules here? Or is it that the rules here have always been like this? "
These words were harsh to the ears of the aboriginals.
Even though everyone knew that the Ancient race was trying to intimidate them by ignoring them just now, they still couldn't help it.
But they did not expect this girl from the Gong Family to be so bold.
But before Master Pei could say anything, a deep male voice said, "It seems that the aboriginals are just so-so. Madam, why don't we leave? "
"That's fine. Anyway, this is just so-so. It makes no difference whether we come or not."
Master Pei was shocked when he heard Long Tianhao's words.
Oh no!
He was so focused on greeting those people to teach the Gong Family a lesson that he forgot that there was someone beside her who he could not afford to offend.
Long Tianhao glanced at him coldly.
He was born with a cold look. Just a casual glance was enough to make the person who was swept by him tremble with fear.
"Ha." He sneered and his voice became colder.
"But before I leave, I would like to ask all of you on behalf of my wife. You went through so much trouble to invite my wife here, but you treat her with such contempt. What's the reason?"
"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you don't have to go back."
His words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
A few of them who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth wanted to rush out to argue with him, but they were stopped by their masters.
From the moment the two of them entered the room, those who were observant could tell what was going on.
These two people were not to be trifled with.
At this moment, some people were already secretly complaining about the group of elders.
It was just a seat. Why did they have to make people so unhappy for no reason?
They had forgotten that they were secretly mocking the Gong Family for not knowing how to appreciate favors.
Master Pei suppressed his anger. Fortunately, Pei Mingyuan was not stupid. He quickly sent someone to inform the group of people who were in charge of receiving the guests.
The group of people had just received benefits from the Pei Family and were secretly preparing to give Gong Ya the cold shoulder. Unexpectedly, Master Pei turned around and asked them to help her.
But when they arrived at the scene in a panic, they saw the couple unceremoniously occupying the seats of the Pei Family.
They were immediately flustered.
After all, the Elders Guild's attitude towards the Gong Family Master was still not unified.
Therefore, the result of their discussion was to keep a respectful distance from them and treat them as outsiders. They could not offend them or allow them to participate in the clan meeting.
However, he didn't expect that just a small oversight would cause the situation to become so difficult to resolve.
The person in charge suddenly felt that it was difficult to get off the tiger. He could not help but secretly complain about Gong Ya's audacity and Master Pei's untrustworthiness.
He looked at Patriarch Pei for help, but Patriarch Pei only gave him a gloomy glare.
In the end, the person in charge braced himself and walked up to Lin Mengya.
"I'm sorry, Master Gong. It was my negligence that led to such a slip-up."
"It's like this, your seat is over there …"
Lin Mengya did not wait for him to finish speaking. She patted her chair.
"I'll sit here. I think the scenery here is pretty good. Let's sit here."
"No, this is against the rules." The person in charge was a little anxious.
But Lin Mengya only glanced at him and said unhurriedly, "The rules of the aboriginals are really strange. But that has nothing to do with me."
Lin Mengya had no intention of taking a step back.
After dealing with the aboriginals for so long, she knew what kind of place this was.
They bullied the weak and feared the strong. They were greedy and arrogant. They forced her to act like a scoundrel.
But it worked better than she had expected.
"This … this doesn't make sense. I'm afraid …"
The person in charge was now in a difficult position.
The more anxious he was, the more he could not come up with a solution.
Moreover, he was just a lowly person in charge of receiving guests. Previously, the higher-ups had also reminded him not to neglect Master Gong and her husband.
But it was precisely his greed that caused him to lose his life.
All of a sudden, the person in charge's face turned pale, but no one stepped forward to help him out.
Just when he was at a loss of what to do and was feeling uneasy, suddenly, a strong voice came from behind him.
"As long as Master Gong likes it. Alright, you may leave."
The person in charge trembled all over. Then, he did not dare to turn his head and rolled down the stairs.
Lin Mengya looked at the door.
She saw an old man with white hair and a white beard walking over, surrounded by a group of people.
And the person in charge of supporting the old man was a handsome young man.
Lin Mengya recognized him at a glance.
Wasn't this Yue Zhengzitan, whom she had met a few times?
She had to admit that after changing his clothes and removing the disguise on his face, Yue Zhengzitan looked like a different person.
But his eyes, which were always smiling, allowed Lin Mengya to recognize him at a glance.
"Great Elder, please slow down. Be careful of your steps," the Great Elder said.
Yue Zhengzitan supported the Great Clan Elder, he was very attentive.
The people around felt that it was embarrassing to look at him, but in their hearts, they disdained this guy who only knew how to suck up to the Great Elder because of his blood relationship.
However, the Great Elder liked his filial piety.
With a smile on his face, Yue Zhengzitan helped him to sit in the seat of honor in the middle of the table.
Lin Mengya had heard some news about this Great Elder before.
But she only said that he had a good reputation among the aboriginals, and because he was fair and just, the aboriginals trusted him.
And judging from his attitude just now, at least on the surface, he did not seem to be here to make trouble for them.
Therefore, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao also stood up and bowed to him.
"Greetings, Great Elder."
