Chapter 3022 - 3023: Isn’t It Just About Competing Backgrounds?

Chapter 3022: Chapter 3023: Isn’t It Just About Competing Backgrounds?

The three clan elders went in too hurriedly and didn’t close the entrance to the forbidden land in time, otherwise, Gao Zhou and Chushuang would have had a harder time.

"You came here looking for trouble, didn’t you? Do you really think our Zhong Family is easy to bully?" one of the clan elders said harshly.

Gao Zhou and Chushuang rushed into the secret chamber, guarding Jiang Yichun’s side.

"Where’s Ruozhu? What have you done to her?" Chushuang asked with a cold face.

Jiang Yichun pointed at the stone slab, "Ao Song said she’s down below."

The faces of the three clan elders changed; below was the Zhong family’s biggest secret. Once it was leaked, not only would it bring trouble to the Zhong family, but it might also cause chaos in the world.

"How did Bai Ruozhu get down there? What exactly did you do?" the three clan elders asked.

"I also want to ask you what shady business you’re hiding," Jiang Yichun fumed, worried about his wife and anxious inside.

The clan elders also lost their tempers, gathering Qi to take action, "You dare to break into our Zhong family’s forbidden land, then don’t expect to leave here!"

"How dare you!" Gao Zhou stepped forward to confront the clan elders, and the other elders were ready to join in.

"For committing evil in our Zhong family, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you won’t avoid Zhong family’s revenge," one of the three clan elders said through gritted teeth.

Gao Zhou retorted while fighting back, "Ruozhu is the granddaughter of a Jiuli clan elder. Do you think the Jiuli clan won’t defend her?"

Chushuang looked up and let out a sharp whistle, "What about the Zhong family? Does the Donghai Merfolk Clan fear you?"

Gao Zhou laughed loudly, "If you want to compare backgrounds, go ahead. Do you think your Zhong family can dominate the world?"

The Zhong family clan elders were taken aback. They knew Bai Ruozhu had connections with the Jiuli clan, but didn’t know her position was extraordinary, let alone her connection with the Donghai Merfolk clan.

"Stop!" Ao Song’s voice suddenly rang out. As soon as she woke up and saw the tense scene, she took a sharp breath. How did the clan elders get here?

She struggled to get up, "Grandpa, stop, it’s all a misunderstanding. I fainted by myself."

"They didn’t hold you hostage?" the three clan elders stopped and asked.

"No, it’s all my fault," Ao Song admitted reluctantly, "I snuck Sister Ruozhu in, hoping she could help see if anything could be discovered. Sister Ruozhu is very skilled."

She dared not mention that Bai Ruozhu initially entered during the astrology ceremony. Otherwise, she couldn’t explain how Bai Ruozhu avoided the eyes of the clan elders.

Footsteps were heard from outside again as Zhong Kui led other elders in.

"Son, there are more and more of them. Find a way to retreat," Gao Zhou whispered to Jiang Yichun.

"No, Ruozhu is down there," Jiang Yichun immediately objected.

"How did she get down there? What’s there?" Gao Zhou asked.

Jiang Yichun shook his head slightly, he didn’t know either.

"This, how..." Zhong Kui was surprised to see so many outsiders, looking at his daughter in distress. He thought his daughter had matured and was responsible, but she’s caused trouble again.

Ao Song hurried over to grab her father’s arm, "Dad, you’re finally here, quickly persuade Grandpa and the others. We’re all family, we mustn’t hurt our harmonious relations." ℯℯ𝑙.

She gave her father a meaningful look as she spoke. Zhong Kui felt helpless but suddenly felt like laughing.

His daughter grew up overnight and suddenly got married. His heart felt empty, but now that his daughter was still being playful with him, seeking his support when in trouble, he instantly felt proud to be a father again.
