Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 4551 Don’t cut the grass, get rid of the roots first.

Having an old man in a family was like having a treasure. This saying was most suitable for uncle Tong. As long as he was around, at least in the short term, the Shangguan family would not dare to rashly start a war with the Ling family. The barefooted are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. This was the logic behind this saying. The Ling family had already fallen for so many years, so it wouldn’t be too bad no matter how weak they were. They could once again go all out and fight to the death, but the Shangguan family might not have the courage to do so.

“He made a bet with me to have a fair fight with you.” Ling Xuantong chuckled and said with deep disdain,”this old man has some face. He has lived for so long and still has the nerve to challenge a junior.”

Ling Chuxi frowned. If it was a few years later, she would not be afraid to fight with Shangguan zhenhe. However, now, even if she had the heavenly Sword, she was not confident that she could compete with the half venerable. Shangguan zhenhe had obviously realized that her existence was a great threat to the Shangguan family. If he did not want to cut the weeds, he would first eliminate the roots.

...

“What if I don’t accept the challenge?” Ling Chuxi asked.

“If you don’t accept the challenge, he will do anything to get rid of you. I’ve known him for many years and know that he’s not joking. This shameless old man, does he really think that there’s no one in the Ling family? he dared to attack a descendant of the Ling family, isn’t he afraid that I’ll make his Shangguan family bloodline extinct?” Ling Xuantong said with a bit of anger.

However, he seemed a little discouraged. This extremely different master had his own way of refining and his own state of mind. His cultivation method was upright and open, not suitable for sneak attacks. Shangguan zhenhe, on the other hand, walked the path of both good and evil. In this aspect, he was exactly the same as Shangguan Wu Xie. In terms of unscrupulous means, he was really not as good as Shangguan zhenhe.

More importantly, the Shangguan family’s strength was not much weaker than the Ling family’s twenty years ago. In the past twenty years, they had been working hard to rule the country, and were already much stronger than the Ling family. Since Shangguan zhenhe dared to make such a statement, he would naturally be on guard against him making a move against the Shangguan family’s descendants.

Even if Ling Xuantong were to lower his status and resort to despicable means, he would only be able to kill a few small fry. Even if he were to kill Shangguan wuyou, the impact on the Shangguan family would be limited. The Shangguan family’s true hope still lay on Shangguan Wu Xie.

Ling Xuantong felt a headache coming when he thought of that unpredictable and evil Shangguan Wu Xie. Even if there was no one to protect her, this guy would not be easy to kill.

“This old man is so shameless.” Ling Chuxi had also thought of this point and scolded him in a bad mood.

“Forget it, there’s no need to take this matter to heart. At worst, I’ll just follow you and see if he has the opportunity to make a move. With his status, it’s already embarrassing enough for him to challenge a junior. He can’t possibly attack someone else. ” Uncle Tong said with a slight lack of confidence. With Shangguan Zhen’s unpredictable nature, it didn’t seem strange that he would do such a thing.

“Yes.” Ling Chuxi nodded her head. Although she did not show any emotion on her face, she was still a little worried in her heart.

One should not be afraid of a thief stealing, but one should be afraid of a thief’s thoughts. Anyone would feel uneasy to be targeted by Shangguan Zhen and a half-step Master like him. He had to find a way to solve this matter.

However, how should she resolve this? killing him was obviously not realistic. Besides this, Ling Chuxi could not think of any other way at the moment.

“Alright, we’ll talk about this when we get back. I’m going to visit an old friend. You guys go back to the family first, so they don’t worry.” Ling Xuantong said to Ling Chuxi.

“Then, uncle Ling, you have to be careful.” Ling Chuxi did not want anything to happen to him at such a critical moment, so after giving him a few words of advice, she returned to the Ling family with Huangfu qingjue.
