4149 You want to take revenge?
The shopkeeper had guessed correctly. Zeng fanjian did not want to let Ling Chuxi off so easily. Just as Ling Chuxi and the rest were eating and drinking to their heart’s content, the courtyard door was kicked open with a bang.
A group of men aggressively rushed into the courtyard and surrounded Ling Chuxi and the others. They were dressed in navy blue robes with the words ‘aristocratic family adjudication board’ embroidered on the corner of their clothes. They were obviously members of the aristocratic family adjudication board.
“Who is Ling Chuxi? come out!” The leader of the group, a middle-aged man, shouted.
“I’m Ling Chuxi. What’s the matter?” Ling Chuxi stood up unhurriedly, a skewer of chicken wings in her hand.
Seeing Ling Chuxi so calm and composed, the middle-aged man felt a little strange. As the innkeeper had said, the status of the city amongst the clouds ‘ruling deacons was not something that the deacons outside could compare to. Even the clan heads of many ancient families had to deliberately curry favor with them when they saw them. However, when she saw them rushing in so aggressively, why was this girl called Ling Chuxi not the least bit flustered? Could it be that he was fearless?
He turned his head a few times, and soon, he threw this doubt to the back of his mind. Zeng fanjian had already told him about Ling Chuxi’s background, and he had also inquired about it in private to confirm that the information was correct.
No matter how strong the Ling family was, that was twenty years ago. Now, they had fallen beyond recognition. What kind of confidence could a young master of a fallen family have?
She was pretending. Without a doubt, this Ling Chuxi was just pretending to be calm.
“How dare you openly violate the ban and injure people in the city amongst the clouds? arrest him!” The middle-aged man waved his hand and shouted. He laughed coldly in his heart,”it’s fine if you’re just pretending to fool others, but do you think you can fool me?” If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’ll think that the Zeng family has no one!
That’s right, his name was Zeng Zhengping, and he was originally a member of the Zeng family. He had left home to cultivate when he was young, and only returned in glory after becoming a member of the aristocratic family Council. However, in order to avoid suspicion, he had deliberately reduced his contact with the Zeng family, so many people did not know of his relationship with the Zeng family.
This was also the reason why Zeng fanjian didn’t bring him up at the start. He knew that once Zeng Zhengping’s identity as a descendant of the Zeng family was made public, it would be detrimental to his future and the Zeng family.
However, after suffering such a huge loss, he couldn’t care much about it. If he couldn’t regain his face today, how could he face others when he returned?
“Just because you said you want to take him, you take him? Who are you?” Seeing Ling Chuxi’s calm expression, Ling Yixin and the others let go of their worries and asked with pursed lips.
“Zeng Zhengping, the ruling Deacon of the aristocratic family’s ruling council, city amongst the clouds!” Zeng Zhengping raised his head and said arrogantly.
He was just a Deacon! What’s there to be proud of! Ling Yixin and the others looked at him with contempt. The judge hadn’t even said anything yet, so what was he showing off for? Since Huangfu qingjue did not take the initiative to speak, Ling Yixin and the rest would not reveal their identities either. In fact, they also wanted to see what kind of expression Zeng Zhengping would have when he found out about Huangfu qingjue’s identity. It would probably be very interesting.
More importantly, Huangfu qingjue had previously said that there was no need for him to step forward in this matter. In other words, Ling Chuxi could handle it herself. They were all a little curious. What method did Ling Chuxi have to avoid this crisis?
“Zeng Zhengping, so you’re a family. Are you preparing to use your position to take revenge for a private matter?” Ling Chuxi’s expression was still as calm as ever.
