But seeing Steward Chang's perfunctory reply, Yue Zhengzixiu could only suppress his temper.
He was not an impatient person.
But on this matter, he found it increasingly difficult to keep his cool.
Because this matter concerned the future of the aboriginals!
If there was anyone who listened to Gong Ya's words, it was probably this Patriarch Yue.
"Steward Chang, whether the Lake God has awakened or not is an internal matter of the aboriginals. I think it's better not to involve Patriarch Gong. "
He was also persuading Yue Zhengzixiu earnestly, but Steward Chang did not feel that this matter was inappropriate.
He even optimistically persuaded Yue Zhengzixiu.
"The priest's matter is not a bad thing. Although the Gong family has already moved out to make a living, their bones are still broken but their tendons are still connected. After all, they still have feelings for their hometown. I think this is a good move. This way, we can repair the relationship between the Gong family and our clan. "
"Steward Chang, this matter is not that simple."
"Enough." Steward Chang interrupted Yue Zhengzixiu with a relaxed expression.
"This matter is decided. Later, you will go to the Gong family with me. We must let Patriarch Gong see our sincerity! "
Sincerity?
Yue Zhengzixiu's heart was left with a bitter sense of helplessness.
After interacting with Patriarch Gong for this period of time, he thought that he could more or less understand Patriarch Gong's character.
She was a woman who was very clear about her likes and dislikes.
The various maliciousness that the aboriginals had shown her previously had already cut off any possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.
Now, he was truly regretting that he had neglected the Gong Family in the past.
But since Steward Chang insisted, he had no choice but to go.
His footsteps were a little hesitant as he followed behind Steward Chang, but he still followed him to the Gong family.
At this moment, many aboriginals had already gathered outside the Gong family.
Looking at those people, Yue Zhengzixiu could not help but sigh in his heart.
Did they think that the Gong Family's Patriarch would agree to their rude request just because they were begging so sincerely?
Seeing that he and Steward Chang had walked over, a few middle-aged men in their thirties and forties also quickly walked up to welcome them. Their faces were full of joy.
"Patriarch Yue! I heard that the sacred lake resurrected. Is that true? "
Yue Zhengzixiu was stunned when he heard this.
How did this news spread so quickly?
Furthermore, they still couldn't come to a conclusion as to what was going on at the sacred lake. Hence, he had given orders not to spread the news.
Just as he was about to explain, he heard Steward Chang say confidently, "That's right."
The next moment, they suddenly shouted happily, "The Lake God has shown himself! It must be the Lake God! "
"With the resurrection of the Lake God, our aboriginals will definitely prosper!"
"That's right. We've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Through these people, the news of the lake god's resurrection quickly spread to the people around.
After everyone confirmed this news, an inexplicable ecstasy swept through the crowd.
When Steward Chang saw that everyone was so joyous, his face, which had always been solemn and rigid, also revealed some relaxed smile lines.
The only exception was Yue Zhengzi.
The more that group of people caused a ruckus, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Could it be that Steward Chang didn't know that spreading news that had yet to be verified was no less harmful than a disaster to the rest of the aboriginals?
Due to the imbalance in population and resources among the aboriginals, as well as some urgent problems that needed to be resolved, the atmosphere was already tense.
The sacred lake was once the hope of the aboriginals.
Everyone had been instilled with this belief since young.
As long as the sacred lake was resurrected, the aboriginals could once again climb to the peak.
Hence, he had always maintained a cautious attitude toward the news of the sacred lake's resurrection.
Unexpectedly, under Steward Chang's blind affirmation, all his hard work had gone up in smoke.
Yue Zhengzixiu only felt that his anger had increased a few notches.
His tone was also extremely stiff. "Steward Chang, we should pay a visit to the Gong Family now."
Steward Chang was still immersed in the emotions of the crowd and didn't notice that there was something wrong with his tone.
However, when the few of them passed through the crowd and got someone to knock on the Gong Family's door, Yue Zhengzixiu couldn't help but advise in a low voice, "Steward Chang, I know you want to encourage everyone. However, we haven't confirmed the matter of the sacred lake yet. Isn't it a little inappropriate to spread it like this? "
His tone was already as tactful as possible.
Actually, with his status as the head of the Gong Family, if not for the fact that the other party was representing a secret meeting and had shown goodwill to him first, he would have definitely reprimanded the other party.
Although Steward Chang was slow, he also realized that Yue Zhengzixiu seemed to have some complaints about him.
However, he thought that the other party was concerned that he had stolen the other party's limelight just now.
Immediately, he patted Yue Zhengzixiu's shoulder and said, "Young man, there will naturally be opportunities for you to show off in the future. However, regarding this matter, I really hope that everyone can relax a little.
After all, everyone has been through a lot previously. It's good to have some good news to cheer everyone up a little. "
Since things had already reached this point, what else could Yue Zhengzixiu do?
However, his heart was still hanging in suspense.
Even if everyone thought that the resurrection of the sacred lake was a great thing, his heart still didn't feel good.
In particular, this matter was related to the Gong Family, which made him feel even more uneasy.
Hopefully, nothing major would happen.
Although Lin Mengya had always closed the door to guests, when she heard that the visitors were the steward of the secret meeting and the Yue Zhengzixiu, she still asked someone to open the door and invite them in.
The moment he saw her, a smile immediately appeared on Steward Chang's face.
However, probably because this person didn't smile often, the more Lin Mengya looked at him, the more awkward she felt.
However, out of politeness, she pretended that she didn't see it.
"Please take a seat." She changed her attitude towards the two people from the Wang Family and asked someone to serve a few cups of hot tea.
This was how she was. Based on the quality of the other party, her expression would be the same.
Of course, if she could predict the intention of this steward Chang's visit, not to mention tea, she reckoned that he would definitely reject them at the door.
"Haha, thank you, Master Gong, for the good tea. One smell and I can tell that it's top grade. It's also my honor to be able to drink this unusual tea. "
Lin Mengya thought to herself, This bootlicking is too superficial, I don't know how to respond to it.
Beside her, Yue Zhengzixiu's eyes flickered slightly.
He could taste the tea as soon as he drank it.
In fact, it was a kind of indigenous tea that was a specialty of the aboriginals. However, some dried fruits were added to it.
The smell was a little familiar.
Lin Mengya smiled faintly, but in her heart, she was on guard.
One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions!
As expected, after Steward Chang drank two mouthfuls of tea, he couldn't wait to speak and reveal the purpose of his visit.
"Gong Family Head, I know this is a little sudden. However, we are also forced to do so. You have also seen that our Gu Clan is already an arrow at the end of its flight. If we don't have some good news to support us, I'm afraid that we will fall into chaos sooner or later. "
Lin Mengya thought to herself, Aren't the aboriginals chaotic enough?
Killing one's own clansmen was no longer a cover-up, and the disputes between the big and small clans were endless. On the surface, they were already so impolite, but who knew what was going on behind the scenes.
But the only thing she was curious about was that Master Chang
Why did he tell her these things?
Seeing that she didn't respond, Steward Chang could only say with some difficulty, "Therefore, I hope that Patriarch Gong can help us with this and help the aboriginals overcome this crisis."
In an instant, the room fell silent.
Only then did Lin Mengya understand the purpose of his visit this time.
However, she couldn't help but feel that it was ironic.
She played with the teacup in her hand and said, "I'm afraid that an outsider like me can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility."
Did Steward Chang think of her as a fool?
He clearly knew that this matter was directed at her, and he definitely didn't have any good intentions. Why should she ignore her own safety and agree to this matter?
"Sigh, Patriarch Gong, you are treating me like an outsider. Although the Gong Family has moved out, it's hard to leave our homeland. We still have some nostalgia. "
"I know that Patriarch Gong will definitely feel unhappy because of what happened in the past. How about this, I will use the name of the secret meeting to change the Gong Family's identity as an abandoned clan to that of the Li Clan. In this way, Patriarch Gong can be considered to have cleared the name of your ancestors. "
"Heh, this is really a good deal!"
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and sighed inexplicably.
To be honest, if those people had treated her like this when she first came to the aboriginals, then many things wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have to speak so rudely to the aboriginals.
But now, she felt that the aboriginals were all too hypocritical.
Moreover, they didn't take her seriously at all. Or perhaps they thought that she didn't have a brain, which was why they were so easy to fool!
"So, Patriarch Gong agrees?" Steward Chang didn't know what she was thinking and asked happily.
But then he heard her cold and distant sarcasm.
"You aboriginals really want to take advantage of me. Steward Chang, could it be that the threats I made to you that day were all ignored by you? "
The atmosphere instantly tensed up.
"I said long ago that the Gong Family and the aboriginals no longer have anything to do with each other. It was you who threatened us with benefits and forced us to come here. "
"After that, you treated me like a brainless idiot and framed me everywhere, with the intention of coveting the Gong Family's assets."
"Now, you know that the priest is strange, but you still want me to sacrifice myself for the aboriginals."
"Let me ask you, on what basis do you think I should do this? Or is it that you will only feel pain when the Gong Family points their swords at you? That's why you are afraid? "
Lin Mengya's words showed that she didn't give him any face at all.
Now that things had come to this, what else did she have to worry about?
If she continued to be polite, this group of people would probably push her to her death without any scruples!
Her harsh words and stern expression caused Steward Chang's expression to change in an instant.
"Patriarch Gong, what do you mean by this? I wanted to discuss this with you, and this matter isn't completely without benefits for the Gong Family. "
"The Gong Family doesn't need it." Lin Mengya rejected him flatly.
Bullshit!
The Gong Family was now developing like the sun in the sky. Even if there were some twists and turns, they would be able to reach the top in a few years and lead Wei Country to usher in new changes.
Aboriginals?
Ha, in a few generations, they would probably become the Yelang Country that would only be left in people's memories and books?
She was not so short-sighted. She had already paid a corresponding price to get the treasures of the aboriginals.
Other than that, she did not want to have any other involvement with the aboriginals!
But the furious Steward Chang laughed coldly and said, "Patriarch Gong, you must know that there are always people better than you out there. I know that the Gong Family is powerful, but you don't know that there are people in this world who can topple the Gong Family in an instant! "
"Are you threatening me?" Lin Mengya's voice deepened, and there was a hint of authority in it.
