“Of course. I am an alchemy genius rarely seen in a hundred years on the Boundless Heaven Continent. If he doesn’t take me as his disciple, it will absolutely be His Excellency Du Min’s loss,” Lan Ning’er said confidently, her proud tail about to rise to the sky!

The first elder really didn’t know what to say about Lan Ning’er’s strong confidence. His Excellency Du Min obviously only said that he would consider it, but she thought that this was a matter set in stone. Moreover, she announced it wantonly and made everyone know. Hmph! If His Excellency Du Min doesn’t take her in as a disciple in the end, let’s see how she ends up!

“Fifth Miss, His Excellency Du Min is one of the most virtuous and respected people on the Boundless Heaven Continent. Why don’t I feel that it would be His Excellency Du Min’s loss if he doesn’t take you in as a disciple?” the third elder said indifferently, his shrewd eyes carrying a hint of faint mockery. Hmph! If not for taking the patriarch’s face into consideration, these words would probably be even nastier.

“I’m an alchemy genius, and I’m already an Alchemist before I’m twenty,” Lan Ning’er emphasized. This was the thing she was most proud of.

“It’s not like alchemy geniuses like you are unheard of on the Boundless Heaven Continent. If His Excellency Du Min takes in every person, wouldn’t most of these alchemists become his disciples?” the third elder said with a light smile.

“How can those people compare to me? I’m the most favored fifth young lady of the Lan family!” Lan Ning’er couldn’t help shouting angrily.

“Do you think His Excellency Du Min will take you in as his disciple because of your identity?” the third elder asked with some amusement.

“Then…” Lan Ning’er was about to refute when she was interrupted by a dignified voice.

“Alright, stop arguing. Do everything according to what the first elder says!” Lan Tao, the patriarch of the Lan family, said with his eyes closed. After speaking, he stood up from the main seat and left the hall.

“Guards, bring the second master and the fifth young lady back to their rooms. None of them are allowed to step out of the room without my orders. In addition, from today onward, deduct the monthly money of the second master and the fifth young lady to pay those alchemists until the second master and fifth young lady repay all the purple gold coins they owe the Lan family,” the first elder ordered.

“You can’t do that! I’m the most favored fifth young lady of the Lan family! Grandpa won’t allow you to do this!” Lan Ning’er roared hysterically after hearing what the first elder said.

“Fifth Miss, didn’t you hear what the patriarch said just now?” the first elder asked with a frown.

“I…”

“Hurry up and bring them down.” The first elder didn’t want to give Lan Ning’er any chance to speak at all and urged directly.

“Yes!” The guard brought Lan Fei and his daughter back to their rooms after receiving the order.

“First Elder…”

“Second Elder, do you have anything to say?” the first elder asked softly while glancing at the second elder.

“Uh! No.” The second elder was about to plead on behalf of Lan Fei and his daughter, but he didn’t dare to say anything after the first elder glanced at him lightly. No one could shake the first elder’s authority among the elders.

“Since no one has any objections, then we can all leave!” The first elder chased them away.

“First Elder, you have to pay those alchemists as soon as possible,” the third elder reminded before leaving the hall.

The first elder nodded. “Yes, I’ll send someone to deliver it to them later. Use the money from the public fund first, and then the second master and his daughter will slowly return it.”

Hearing this, the other elders couldn’t help but mourn for Lan Fei and his daughter for a few minutes. Alas! How pitiful! The father’s and daughter’s pocket money was actually all gone because of this matter.

After the elders left the hall, the first elder went directly to the patriarch’s study. He knocked on the door and then walked in.

“You’re here,” Lan Tao said indifferently from his chair.

The first elder sat down opposite the patriarch and replied with barely a word, “Yes.”

“Is he okay?” Lan Tao asked nonchalantly, seemingly not caring too much.

“Extremely well,” the first elder answered.

“Damn it. Can’t you say a few more words?” Lan Tao said furiously, almost exploding with anger in his heart.

“Don’t you know everything? Do you need me to tell you?” the first elder said irritably. Hmph! He obviously missed his grandson, but he still kept finding trouble with his grandson. Their way of getting along was really strange!

“I want you to say it. How is he?” Lan Tao bellowed somewhat childishly.

“I won’t tell you.” The first elder’s stubborn temper also rose.

“You… Lan Hong! I’m your elder brother! Do you want to anger me to death?!” Lan Tao roared with some jealousy. At this moment, he looked like a child who couldn’t obtain candy. He didn’t have the slightest demeanor as the patriarch of the Lan family!

“So what?” First Elder Lan Hong said nonchalantly, not even bothering to look up. Anyway, he knew that Lan Tao wouldn’t do anything other than shouting at him!

“You… Stay away from my grandson!” Lan Tao shouted with jealousy. That was his precious grandson! But that stinky brat would cry endlessly as long as he hugged him since he was young. Moreover, he never gave him, his grandfather, a good attitude, but he would always smile non-stop at others. Alas! As long as he thought of this, jealousy kept flowing out of his heart!

“He’s also my grandson, okay! If it weren’t for me back then, would you have this grandson?” the first elder said without backing down.

“You…” Lan Tao was a little angry. He knew that he was a little stubborn back then, but didn’t he compromise in the end? Why were these people still so vengeful! Especially that stinky brat! Boohoo…

“Big Brother, you can’t be jealous of familial love.” First Elder Lan Hong added oil to the fire.

“Boohoo… Return my grandson to me. Mother! Your son is being bullied!” Lan Tao had no choice but to use soft tactics when he saw that hard tactics weren’t working!

“Big Brother, our mother has passed away for many years,” the first elder reminded, his forehead full of black lines. Alas! He was really at his wit’s end with his brother’s shamelessness! However, if Leng Ruoxue saw this scene, she would definitely say that the Lan family’s shamelessness was hereditary..
