Even if he could enlist the help of the Fourth Elder, he might not be able to deal with the Junior City Lord. Despite being a mere youth, when it comes to getting things done, he is much more ruthless than them.
He looked at Elder Zhu with some unease.
"Master, the Junior City Lord’s people are here to find you. Is there something going on?" he inquired.
"I don’t know."
Elder Zhu was in a good mood and was willing to respond to Sixth Elder’s words.
"Usually, I don’t have much interaction with the Junior City Lord, so how should I know why he suddenly sent someone over? Perhaps there’s some urgent matter."
As she spoke, she leisurely moved her gaze from Sixth Elder to Shen Yuan.
The meaning couldn’t be more obvious.
Seeing this, how could the Sixth Elder not understand the situation? It was certainly the Junior City Lord who had heard that his daughter was brought back by Elder Zhu, and so wanted to use Elder Zhu to deal with his daughter.
But now that he’s here, as long as he’s protecting her, he would like to see who dares to touch a single strand of his precious daughter’s hair!
He thought exceptionally well, even if the Junior City Lord’s people really pressured Elder Zhu later, he wouldn’t let Elder Zhu move against his daughter even a bit.
This is the responsibility he should have as a father.
But he had not expected when Zhe Jue was led in by Elder Zhu’s attendants, after greeting Elder Zhu, he directly and straightforwardly explained his purpose.
"Elder Zhu, the Junior City Lord orders me to inform you that the choice for the successor as Elder has been made. Since you elders are so eager to carve out a world of your own, the Junior City Lord can’t insist and can only let you leave.
Thus, tomorrow he will personally send someone to the Elder Court for a handover with your people."
"What?!
Before Elder Zhu had time to react, Sixth Elder cried out in shock upon hearing Zhe Jue’s words.
How could this be? He had never said he wanted to carve out a world of his own; how could he yield the elder’s position so easily?
If this was the case, what would he become?
"No, it can’t be allowed..."
"Hmm, I understand. You report back to the Junior City Lord that tomorrow’s handover arrangements will be made." Elder Zhu nodded, completely ignoring Sixth Elder’s words.
He said it can’t be allowed, does he think that’s sufficient? What role does he play?
Still wants to make a move on the Junior City Lord’s wife, did he consult the Junior City Lord’s opinion?
"Alright, Elder Zhu, since the message has been delivered, I’ll take my leave." Zhe Jue came quickly and went quickly, leaving shortly.
"Master, how could the Junior City Lord do this? He was only recognized by the City Lord today, but tomorrow he wants to clear us elders out. Isn’t he afraid of internal strife in Sky City?"
After Zhe Jue left, Sixth Elder couldn’t hold back anymore and spoke to Elder Zhu.
How can this be? The position of Elder, can it be changed just like that? They hold a lot of responsibilities; if they are replaced directly, those matters might not be handled well.
The Junior City Lord is really too willful, isn’t he? Surely still a bit too immature!
"Tomorrow, I’ll personally go to the Elder Court. If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to. Of course, Elder Yan will be going as well." Elder Zhu didn’t pay attention to his words, speaking directly.
