After Ning Hai returned home, he was still thinking about the old ancestor’s words. It even made him feel that it was unreal. As soon as he entered the door, Ning Shan told him that there was a gathering in the clan at night, and all the clansmen had to attend.
“We’re going too?” Ning Hai was very surprised. They were not directly related to the ning family.
“Mm! The Butler said that it was the ancestor’s order. Furthermore, mother has also gone to the main residence to prepare for the gathering tonight. ” Ning Shan said with an excited smile. The housekeeper he was referring to was not Ning Yan, but the housekeeper of the ning family’s main residence.
“Brother! Have you seen the old ancestor?” Ning Shan asked again.
“I’ve seen him,” Ning Hai was a man of few words and didn’t want to say another word.
“How’s our ancestor now? Was he handsome? What did he say to you?” Ning Shan asked with excitement.
“He didn’t say anything! We were just casually chatting. ” Ning Hai didn’t want to say more.
“Brother! What a great opportunity this was! I’m afraid that many of our clansmen will never have the chance to see our ancestor in their entire lives. I’m so envious of you. ” Ning Shan said.
“What’s there to be envious about? maybe you’ll be able to see the ancestor tonight.” Ning Hai patted his brother’s head and said.
“Really?” Ning Shan’s face was filled with anticipation.
“Yes.” Ning Hai nodded.
In the evening, Ning Hai and his sons walked to the main house. When they arrived, they found that the main house was already full of people. Not only were the direct descendants of the ning family present, but even the branch families living in the city were all present.
This time, the gathering was arranged at the largest training ground in the main residence. Ning Hai brought his father and brother to the seats arranged for them. Ning Shan, who rarely had the opportunity to come to the main residence, looked around curiously.
“Shan ‘er! Don’t look around. ” Ning Hai reminded him in a low voice.
“I know, brother!” “Yes,” Ning Shan replied, but his eyes were still rolling around uncontrollably. This training ground was not only the largest in the ning family’s main residence, but also the best. The ning family members who could train here were almost all direct descendants. Branch family members like them, unless they had extremely high qualifications, were not qualified to train here. This was also the place he yearned for the most.
With the passage of time, the elders of the ning family also arrived one by one, but the main seat and its two sides were still empty.
Just as everyone was discussing in low voices, the ning family’s Supreme old ancestor finally arrived.
After seeing the old ancestor, all the people of the ning family present bowed very respectfully.
“Alright! It’s only a family banquet today, so let’s forget about all these superficial gifts!” The ning family’s old ancestor spoke and sat on the main seat. On the seats to his left and right, one was for Leng ruoxue, while the other was reserved for the first elder.
“Yes! Old ancestor!” Everyone stood up. Then, they realized that there was a woman beside their old Grand Madame. Most of them were unfamiliar with this woman.
“Brother! Isn’t that sister ruoxue? Why is she sitting with the old forefather?” Ning Shan whispered in surprise. He was excited and surprised to see the old Grand Madame, but he was shocked to see Leng ruoxue.
“She’s the elder ancestor’s goddaughter. ” Ning Hai said with a sigh. Seeing old Grand Madame’s attitude towards ruoxue, he knew that old Grand Madame loved ruoxue very much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let her sit beside him. However, at the same time, he was a little worried because ruoxue would be remembered by many people. Sigh! Old Grand Madame was putting ruoxue on fire!
“This … This is too surprising.” Ning Shan stuttered. He was so shocked that he did not know what to say.
Ning Yuan and the other elders were equally surprised. They didn’t expect that the woman who had been invited to the main residence a few days ago would be related to the ancestor. What should they do? To be able to sit beside the old ancestor, that identity was definitely not ordinary! At the thought of this, some of the elders felt guilty.
“She’s Leng ruoxue, my goddaughter,” After taking in the expressions of everyone present, the master of the ning family gave a simple introduction.
His words were like a bomb that exploded in everyone’s hearts …
At this moment, the clansmen who did not know the relationship between Leng ruoxue and the old ancestor were all clear about it. However, their hearts were filled with jealousy. There were so many clansmen in the ning family, but only a few of them were able to receive the old ancestor’s favor. Now, an outsider had taken advantage of them. How could their proud hearts accept this?
“Old man, what are you trying to do?” Looking at the different expressions of the ning family members, the great elder asked in a low voice with a little dissatisfaction. This old thing introduced the little girl to his family in such a high profile way, he was afraid that it would have the opposite effect!
“Nothing! Xue ‘er is my goddaughter and can be considered their elder. I have to let these juniors get to know each other!” Master ning said matter-of-factly.
“Is there a need for that?” The great elder frowned, feeling that this was purely old man ning’s wishful thinking.
“Of course there is! Why else do you think I’ve gathered so many people together?” The master of the ning family raised his eyebrows.
“Tsk! Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re just afraid that some of the younger generation in your family will be so blind as to provoke that little girl Xue ‘er. ” First elder understood. However, he was not optimistic about master ning’s thoughts. Instead, he felt that he was putting Leng ruoxue in the limelight by doing this. Now, it would be impossible for Xue ‘er not to attract attention.
“Hehe!” Master ning smiled. He did not deny that he had such thoughts. However, more importantly, he wanted to let the clan members get to know Leng ruoxue. After all, Xue ‘er was his goddaughter!
After Leng ruoxue was dragged out by master ning to show off, she was extremely depressed. Could she leave now? She had already felt many envious and even thought-provoking gazes. Some were envious, some were probing, and some were curious. There were even a few eyes that were especially heated.
“Ancestor! I’d like to know, what right does this woman have to be your goddaughter?” Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. The speaker was a red-robed woman.
When Leng ruoxue saw this lady, she squinted her beautiful eyes and laughed in her heart. Wasn’t this the fifth young lady of the ning family? He was really bold to actually make trouble in public. Moreover, the person who questioned him was the Supreme old ancestor of the ning family. This time, she wanted to see how Godfather would deal with his junior.
The great elder was also in the mood to watch a good show. He looked at the master of the ning family provocatively, then lowered his head and said nothing.
The master of the ning family raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ning Xi ‘er, who had just spoken, and said indifferently,”Are you questioning me? Don’t tell me that I need your permission to accept anyone as my goddaughter?”
“Ancestor! I … I didn’t mean it that way! I just want to know what qualifications she has to be your goddaughter. ” Ning Xi ‘er listened to her ancestor’s cold words and quickly explained with a stutter.
