The third elder's personality was too radical, which could be seen from today's events. In order to get the position of the family head, he could even use such despicable means on his own brother. If he were to become the family head, God knows what he would do. The battle between the ancient families might seem peaceful on the surface, but it was actually filled with danger. With the Ling family's current situation, they really couldn't afford any more trouble.
"How dare you! The third elder has ordered that no one is allowed to take half a step into the Ling residence today. If you dare to force your way in, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy." Ling huaixin once again stood in front of him.
"Get lost!" Ling Zhongxiao shouted angrily and walked straight inside.
"Cough!" Ling Huai Xin drew out his long sword and pointed it at Ling Zhong Xiao.
"You dare to make a move!" Ling Zhongxiao had never thought that a mere guard would dare to draw his sword at him. He was so angry that his eyes widened.
"I'll naturally let you in after the Lords have finished their discussion, but if you insist on barging in, I'll have to do my duty even if I have to risk my life. Don't forget, although this order was given by the third elder, the Lord patriarch also acknowledged it, so it's equivalent to the order of the patriarch. Even if you're a disciple of the Ling clan, you can't go against the order of the patriarch. " Ling huaixin said slyly.
Ling Zhongxiao's expression turned serious. According to the other guards, the family head had indeed acknowledged this order. If he still wanted to barge in, then he would be making an enemy of the family head.
This Ling huaixin's strength was not high, he was at most at the early stage of the sovereign level. Relying on the power of law he had comprehended in the tower of proving holiness, Ling Zhongxiao could not stop him even if he was determined to break in. But don't forget, since he had become the leader of the guards, he must have recruited some trusted subordinates. When the time came, even if they killed him, he would not have to bear any responsibility.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm Of course, with Ling Chuxi and the others around, Ling Huaxin would not be able to kill him. However, this was a family matter of the Ling family, and he did not wish to drag Ling Chuxi and the others into it.
"Who's making a ruckus at the entrance? don't you know that the Lord patriarch is discussing an important matter with the other Lords?" Just as Ling Zhongxiao was hesitating, a woman appeared at the door.
"This subordinate greets second young mistress." The moment he saw this woman, Ling Huai Xin immediately put on the face of a slave and spoke with a fawning expression. That respectful and reverent attitude was like a completely different person from when he was facing Ling Zhong Xiao earlier.
Ling Chuxi could not help but take another look at this woman. She was about 23 or 24 years old and had an extremely Foxy appearance.
"Ling huaixin, don't you know that today is the day that our Ling family will be re-established as the head of the family? how dare you let these irrelevant people cry and howl at our door? what kind of chief guard are you?" The woman said in a harsh tone. When he said this, he deliberately raised his face and did not look at Ling Zhongxiao.
Ling Chuxi frowned. Ling Zhongxiao was clearly a direct descendant of the Ling clan, so why did it sound like he was someone irrelevant to her? she did not believe that this woman had not seen Ling Zhongxiao. She was clearly saying this to embarrass him.
"Second young mistress, it's the fourth young master of the first branch, Ling Zhongxiao." Ling huaixin understood what she meant and knew that she was trying to disgust Ling Zhongxiao, so he explained in a very cooperative manner.
"So it's the fourth young noble. I was still wondering earlier, no matter how much our Ling family has lost power, it wouldn't be to the extent that any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to come to our Ling family's door and make a big fuss. After all that fuss, it turns out to be the fourth young noble. But as the descendant of the main family, why is it that you don't know the rules?" That woman then looked at Ling Zhongxiao and pretended to be enlightened, but her words became even harsher.
