Chapter 164 - This was the Expert, the True Expert

“Oh? Is it? My eyesight is a little bad. I’m old and have bad eyesight. It is somewhat a bother. My wife also disdained me, saying that I bought the wrong thing for her. The other day she asked me to buy red cloth, but I ended up buying black cloth. She almost chased me out…” said the town head.

He blinked and raised his hands to rub his eyes, indicating that he could not see clearly. Then, he mumbled on about other matters. This look of his was as innocent and as serious as it could get.

The Luo family’s first elder was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to burst. The town head’s attitude explicitly indicated that he did not wish to care about this matter.

He angrily turned to look at Master Lan, but Master Lan calmly said, “Ah… that is ah, actually my disappointing granddaughter. However, sometime ago, she threw a tantrum, saying that she wanted to cut off all ties with our family, and she ran away. I never thought that the Ling family had taken her in and even changed her name to Ling Chuchu. This name is really terrible. It was definitely chosen by that little girl herself. How unfilial to actually disdain me, this old man, and run away to the Ling family…”

Hearing this, the town head almost laughed out loud. He used great efforts to suppress the urge and managed to keep himself from laughing out loud. Originally, he felt that his own words were already shameless enough, but he never thought that Master Lan would be even more shameless. He actually spoke such nonsense. This was the expert. The true expert!

This time, the Luo family’s first elder didn’t just feel like his lungs were about to explode. He was so angry to the point that his lungs were about to be vomited out!

D*mn! These words were absolute nonsense! Mater Lan, could you concoct anything more outrageous? Couldn’t your lie be a little more creative? Can it be a little more realistic? What do you mean breaking off all ties? What do you mean being taken in by the Ling family? Could you not look down on their IQ!

The Luo family’s first elder and the Qin family’s first elder finally understood that the Lan family’s favour was not meant for them, it was meant for the Ling family. They were supporting the Ling family! How ridiculous that the two of them had foolishly gotten excited!

Master Lan tidied his clothing and sat down in all seriousness, staring at Lan Xinyu who was standing in the fighting ring in high spirits. The Ling family’s first elder, Ling Yuanlong, grinned as he looked on straight ahead. The Qin family had gone against their word and colluded with the Luo family, both families wishing to remove the Ling family name from Shi Qu Town. Hmph! Dream on!

Lan Xinyu’s opponent was a young disciple of the Luo family who had extraordinary cultivation. However, who was Lan Xinyu? Although she lost to Ling Chuxi, she was still the same Lan Xinyu who had been addressed as the peerless genius. She lost to Ling Chuxi, not because she was too weak, but rather because Ling Chuxi was too strong. Her opponent this time round was totally incomparable to Ling Chuxi.

If Ling Chuxi was a genius amongst geniuses, then Lan Xinyu was still a genius!

Without any suspense, Lan Xinyu’s golden whip cracked in mid-air as Battle Qi light pierced the eyes of the people watching, winning this competition very beautifully.

Everything was settled!

In their hearts, the Luo family and the Qin family were well aware that even if they won this match, they could forget about gaining anything good. Because, the Ling family had the Lan family supporting them. Furthermore, it was not Ling family who had lost this time!

Really, no matter how they thought about it, they would never have guessed that the Lan family was actually on the Ling family’s side. And they had even gone all out to help the Ling family. Was there anything left to say?

If they did not wish for their family names to be removed from Shi Qu Town, they could only obediently tuck their tails between their legs. Shi Qu Town’s biggest piece of succulent meat, the rights to the coal mine, completely belonged to the Ling family now.

Their growth and increase in might was just a matter of time. Even if the Qin family and the Luo family tried to cause trouble, they had to take the Lan family into consideration, as they were behind the Ling family. This was really so suppressing! It felt like they were suffering from internal injuries and yet were being forced to put on a smiling face!

Master Lan felt that he had really benefitted! It was all because Ling Chuxi had agreed to help him polish Lan Xinyu, and she had managed to do so, and incredibly well at that!
