âPatriarch, canât we continue waiting like this?â The First Elder, whose legs were a little sore from standing, couldnât help transmitting his voice. He was tired and hungry now! Moreover, he was really jealous of Feng Da and the others to death seeing so much grilled meat that they could see but couldnât eat. However, those were their things. They didnât intend to share them with them, so they couldnât snatch them by force!
âWhat else can we do if we donât wait? I donât want to provoke these people! Alas!â Guan Yue Long said very gloomily and couldnât help but sigh. The clansmen who had been surrounding the door had already dispersed automatically. However, they had no choice but to wait here for their answer. Alas! Being the patriarch was not something a person could do.
âPatriarch, who are these people?â The First Elder couldnât help asking curiously. Speaking of which, he had already endured for several hours, but the patriarch didnât allow him to speak!
âAlas! Iâm afraid itâs easy to invite a god but difficult to send a god away!â Guan Yuelong told the First Elder about Leng Ruoxueâs identity and requested him to keep it a secret. In fact, he was very clear that Leng Ruoxue would probably not let the Guan Yue family off easily. Alas! Their Guan Yue family had really kicked an iron plate this time! He didnât have any other requests now, but he hoped that the Guan Yue familyâs outcome would not be too tragic after this incident. He was satisfied. After all, there were few people sending charcoal in the snow these days, but there were many people adding insult to injury. If others knew that the Guan Yue family had offended the Alchemist Association, then the Guan Yue family would probably be really finished! And this matter was provoked by that unfilial son, so it was really difficult for him, the patriarch, to bear the blame!
âPatriarch, if this matter isnât handled properly, it will really have a huge impact on the family,â the First Elder reminded. Alas! He finally knew why the patriarch was so submissive now. Guan Yue Lai really brought a disaster to the family!
At this moment, they still didnât know that this matter was not caused by Guan Yuelai but the head of the Sixth Elder who was hanging and swaying!
âYes, I know. First Elder, I didnât discipline this matter well. Iâll take the initiative to resign from the position of the patriarch and pass the patriarch to Xiâer after this matter is over!â Guan Yue Long said very cautiously.
âPatriarch, this isnât your fault. You donât have to do this,â First Elder comforted.
The black python was finally willing to wake up while the two of them were communicating via voice transmission. It looked up at everyone present with hazy eyes, then fixed its gaze on Guan Yue Long and said, âI thought about it very seriously. Your Sixth Elder actually dared to question a level-seven Transcendent Divine Beast. His suspicion has seriously hurt my heart, so compensate me with some mental damage compensation.â
âMental damage compensation?â Guan Yue Long was stunned and his face was full of disbelief. Uh! Did it want money? However, he couldnât understand why a snake wanted money. It didnât know how to spend it.
âYes? Why canât you bear to part with it?â The black python raised its head and looked directly at Guan Yue Long with its cold eyes. Hehe, it might not be Missâs beast, but it knew very well that Miss wanted to raise too many people or beasts, so it wanted some money to be the living expenses of these pythons. After all, Miss said that they would be given full authority to handle this matter, and they were not interested in anything other than money.
âNo, no. I just donât know how much mental damage compensation you want?â Guan Yue Long hurriedly asked. Alas! He was willing to pay a little if he could use money to settle this python!
âNo need, just ten billion purple coins will do.â The black python said after some thought.
âTen billion!â Guan Yue Long almost lost his balance and fell to the ground when he heard what the black python said. Damn! This python really opened its mouth wide! Ten billion was a third of the assets of the Guan Yue family! Could it be that their Guan Yue family would lose a third of their assets just for this pythonâs injured little heart? Thinking of this, his heart ached!
âPatriarch, what should we do?â The First Elder looked at the patriarch whose face had turned the color of pig liver and couldnât help asking via voice transmission.
âFirst Elder, Iâve let down the ancestors of the family!â Guan Yuelong replied with a slight sob. Boohoo⦠A snake was going to take a third of the familyâs assets. How much would its master have to pay?
âPatriarch, whatâs the point of saying these now? Why donât you ask it? Canât we give Sixth Elder to them to play with less money?â First Elder suggested. In his opinion, Sixth Elder was not as important as the assets of the Guan Yue family.
âFirst Elder, this isnât too good, right? The Sixth Elder is a member of our Guan Yue family after all. If we hand him over, where will the dignity of our Guan Yue family be? What will the other families think of us in the future?â Guan Yuelong didnât agree with the First Elderâs words. He didnât really want to save the Sixth Elder, but he couldnât leave him alone for the sake of the familyâs reputation!
âCould it be that we really have to take out ten billion to end this matter?â The First Elder asked very reluctantly. Although many shops in the Guan Yue family were very profitable, ten billion was not a small sum. Moreover, no family could easily take out ten billion except for the three major families, so their Guan Yue family actually did not have that much cash!
âFirst Elder, do you have any good ideas?â Guan Yue Long said expectantly. Alas! Apart from Xiâer, the First Elder was the person he trusted the most. However, Xiâer was not here now, so the only person he could discuss with was the First Elder.
âPatriarch, should we look for that young lady again?â The First Elder frowned and thought for a while. However, his mind was in a mess now, and he couldnât think of any good ideas at all, so he could only suggest to start with Leng Ruoxue.
âItâs useless. First Elder, did you forget her words? We only have the qualifications to negotiate with her after coaxing her food. Alas!â Guan Yuelong said very helplessly.
âAlas!â The First Elder also sighed in his heart.
âYour Excellency Black Python, we donât want the Sixth Elder anymore. Can you ask for less money? Our Guan Yue family really canât take out so much money.â The First Elder looked at the Black Python pitifully, trying to obtain its sympathy. Alas! Since the patriarch couldnât be this evil person, then let him do it.
âOkay, Iâll charge you a million less!â the black python said shyly. It looked at the Sixth Elder, who was still hanging in the air and had fainted from the sun, and pondered in its heart. This old fellow isnât worth a million, right? It couldnât help but regret it when it thought of this.. Boohoo⦠Why was it so kind? It actually agreed just because the old man looked pitiful.
