4184 Sending charcoal in the snow was better than adding flowers to a brocade.



In reality, many people were already thinking of sending the news back to their families as soon as possible and thinking of ways to be on good terms with the Ling family. After all, the Ling family had yet to reveal their edge. In the eyes of many people, they were still a weak family. Sending charcoal in the snowy weather now was definitely much better than adding flowers to a brocade in the future.

The thoughts of these people did not escape Elder Gong's eyes.

"This Ling Chuxi must be eliminated!" Elder Gong narrowed his eyes and made a decision.

Putting aside her favoritism towards Shangguan wuyou and the feud between the Shangguan family and the Ling family, even Elder Gong had to admit that this Ling Chuxi was indeed very quick-witted. Even he had failed in an easy task when he was a little careless. However, the more it was like this, the more he had to get rid of Ling Chuxi as soon as possible. Otherwise, once she grew up, not only would the Shangguan family be harmed, but even he would be implicated.

"33.1 million, going thrice." Zeng Zhengping's voice became softer and softer. In the end, he had no choice but to accept reality.

"Congratulations to young master Ling for winning the bid. These four spots will belong to the Ling family. According to the rules set earlier, the five-colored spiritual stones on the stage will be kept by the family's ruling council. After the enchantment is repaired, no matter how many there are, they will all be returned to the Ling family." Elder Gong appeared to be more magnanimous as he chuckled and said. In any case, he had already made up his mind to get rid of Ling Chuxi, so there was no need to show everything on his face. After all, he was a ruling elder, and his ability to maintain his composure was much better than Zeng Zhengping 's.

Congratulations? I'm afraid you'd rather kill me with your own hands. Ling Chuxi wasn't confused by Elder Gong's kind smile and instead despised him in her heart.

She knew that Elder Gong wouldn't give up so easily after suffering such a grievance, but she wasn't worried. With the status of the ruling elder, even if he hated her to the core, he would never take action personally. As for those little tricks in private, she was really not afraid. Zeng Zhengping then continued to announce the names of the various aristocratic families. This time, no one raised any objections.

"Next, everyone will rest for a while and prepare to draw lots to form groups to participate in the great selection competition." After saying this, Elder Gong and the other two elders walked down the stage and prepared for the drawing of lots.

After these people left, the scions below the stage no longer had any qualms and began to discuss the matter excitedly. There were even people who left their seats and came over to try to get close to the Ling family.

Ling Chuxi understood the principle of 'the more help one gets, the more help one would receive'. Naturally, she would not reject anyone and greeted these people in a friendly manner. Although Ling Chuxi had displayed her frivolous character when she was facing Yuwen Siyuan just now, she was still humble and polite when facing these people. Her attitude, which was neither servile nor overbearing, made people feel good about her.

Just as they were talking, Ling Chuxi turned her head and suddenly realized that Yuwen Siyuan had disappeared. She looked up at the stage and saw that Zeng Zhengping had also disappeared. Ling Chuxi frowned slightly.

At this moment, in the resting room that was prepared for the judges, Elder Gong was looking at Yuwen Siyuan with a cold expression.

"You're really confident?" Elder Gong asked.

Yuwen Siyuan didn't reply. He stretched his body and a powerful aura gushed out.

"Very good," he said. Elder Gong looked at Yuwen Siyuan a few more times and continued,"it's fine if we don't make a move. But if we do, we can't give her any chance."
