Chapter 4200 Proceed

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qiuxue, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head suddenly with a look of disbelief on her face: “Grandfather, no! You can’t do this! I’m your granddaughter!”

“Can’t do this? Should I keep a scrounge like you in the family who brings misfortune to the family clan instead? Granddaughter? I have so many granddaughters, it’s not a big deal to lose you!”

He snorted coldly and glanced at her in disgust, then said: “Do you think that’s it? Let me tell you, your father’s cultivation was abolished because of your stupidity and he has become an ordinary person without any cultivation. From today onwards, you will stay in the countryside and be in charge of looking after his daily needs. No one else is allowed to help you!”

Ruan Qiuxue collapsed on the ground when she heard this, her face full of despair: “No, no, I don’t want to go and live in the countryside… I am the Third Young Miss of the Ruan Family, I am the third daughter of the first wife, I don’t want to go to the countryside, I don’t want to go!” While she spoke, she stood up suddenly and ran outside.

“Lock her up! Send her and her father to the countryside tomorrow! The Old Predecessor of the Ruan Family ordered coldly. So, Ruan Qiuxue was taken away. From a distance, her voice could still be heard shouting hysterically. Everyone in the hall watched and didn’t even dare to breathe. The Old Predecessor’s harsh methods were not just for today’s matter. It was just that he hadn’t been in charge for a long time, so people forgot his methods. Now that the Patriarch’s cultivation had been abolished, he didn’t deal with the person who had abolished the Patriarch’s cultivation but dealt with the chaos within the family clan first. They were terrified that they would be dealt with next. “Have the people sent out to investigate returned?” The Old Predecessor of the Ruan Family asked calmly, looking at everyone in the hall. “Not yet.”

The Great Elder said, looking at the Old Predecessor who was sitting in the Patriarch’s seat: “Those people are not from the city, but they have been staying at the Wang Family Manor. We have very little information and I think that the people we have sent out won’t be able to get any useful information either.”

Upon hearing this, the Old Predecessor of the Ruan Family pondered for a while, then he ordered: “Go to the wine cellar and bring me two jars of good wine, then go to the warehouse and bring me the Eastern Sea Luminous Night Pearl and come with me to the Wang Family Manor.”

“Yes.” The Great Elder responded then turned and walked out. After they saw the Great Elder walk out of the hall, everyone else in the hall looked at each other and hesitated. Someone asked bravely: “Old Predecessor, are you going to apologise to them? Would it be too…” Before he could finish speaking, he saw the Old Predecessor’s cold eyes sweeping towards him and he shut his mouth immediately.

The atmosphere in the hall froze again at this moment. No one dared to speak and just stood there with their heads down. After a long time, the Old Predecessor in the Patriarch’s seat snorted heavily and stood up with his hands behind his back. He walked to the centre of the hall and said: “You are all grown men, yet you don’t even understand the situation. I really don’t know to what extent this family clan will be ruined when I am not around in the future. With your short-sightedness, I wonder when you will bring disaster to the family clan?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at each other and said: “How, how can that happen?”

“How can it happen? Ha! All of you! Reflect on yourselves!” He said, then he flicked his sleeves and walked out. A quarter of an hour later, a carriage left the Wang Family Manor quietly for the Wang Family Manor. The only people sitting inside the carriage were the Old Predecessor of the Ruan Family and the Great Elder…
