“I am sorry,
I can’t do this. Master should assign this to someone else!” replied Eleventh
Elder nonchalantly.
“What?!”
Master
Cheng’s face changed color and the others looked on incredulously. Within the
Cheng’s, Master Cheng outranked any elders. Normally, the elders must listen to
the master as it was their role to assist the master of the house in handling
family business.
When the
master assign a task to an elder, they must follow the orders, unless over half
of the elders object, that would be the only way to override the master’s
order.
But now all
elders supported the decision to have Eleventh Elder take on this assignment
and he openly declined. This was no doubt a challenge to the master’s
authority. Master Cheng was enraged.
The protest
from Eleventh Elder even moved First Elder. He slowly opened his eyes and a
beam of bright light went straight toward Eleventh Elder.
Master Cheng
scolded angrily, “Eleventh Elder, if you disobey my order, I can banish you
from the Circle of Elders!”
“Sure, go
ahead. As long as it pleases you, you can banish me from the family even!”
Eleventh Elder stood up calmly and started walking toward the door, “If this
family is all about profits and not caring about your family, I don’t care to
be a part of it!”
“You stand
right there, Eleventh Elder! Don’t you dare!”
Master Cheng
jumped up abruptly and shouted angrily at his back. Eleventh Elder never looked
back and disappeared from the parlor shortly!
“HOW DARE
HIM!”
When his
authority failed, Master Cheng shouted like a mad man. The other elders all
turned away and pretended that they didn’t see anything.
Of course,
they were all surprised at by the actions of Eleventh Elder. He didn’t care
about being banished from the family?
Has he gone
insane?
“Look at
you! You are not behaving like the master of the house right now!” Looking at
the angry man, First Elder scolded him
lightly in discontent.
Master Cheng
still couldn’t control his angry. Angrily, he said, “First Elder, just look at
the behavior of Eleventh Elder. He ignored all our family rules. We must not
take this lightly!”
“You want to
punish him? Then just banish him from the family!”
“WHAT?”
“HUH?”
Everybody
there was shocked. They looked at First Elder with disbelief. Certainly they
must have heard wrong!
“What? You
don’t want to?” The voice of First Elder slowly float into their ears,
confirming what they thought they have
heard. But it was still incomprehensible to banish someone of the martial king
level for such a minor infraction!
Yes, incomprehensible!
At this
moment, nobody could figure out why First Elder gave this order!
The First
Elder ignored everybody’s reaction and told the Master directly, “Send the
words down. Eleventh Elder blatantly disregarded a direct order from the Circle
of Elders and is banished from the family. The entire branch of his family must
be completely moved out of Emperor City within three days!”
After saying
that, with a flash of his silhouette, First Elder disappeared in front of everybody.
The
remaining elders exchanged looks with each other; they were neither happy about
the decision nor did they wish ill will upon Eleventh Elder. Everybody was
baffled by the sudden decision of First Elder.
When the
order of this decision was passed down, the Cheng’s was plunged into chaos!
Eleventh
Elder didn’t seem to be too overly surprised. He remained silent from all
questionings and had no desire to explain anything as though he has resorted to
his fate!
Finally, he
told his own family to pack and leave as quickly as possible!

I am guessing that the First Elder has been wanting to get rid of the 11th for a while now.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the First elder just found a way to show FAVOR to the 11th. At least to me the 1st actions is clearly to set the 11th free since he is the only reasonable one.
DeleteOr the only reason he did that was so he could go to willow village, and get into the good side of the other Cheng's.
ReplyDeleteHe knows the 11th elder have no place to go other than willow village if he thinks what is best for his branch. Well that is if he is a bit thick-skinned.
ReplyDeleteThx for the update ~♥~
ReplyDeleteSo it's a conspiracy in a conspiracy.. This first elder is smart n maybe the one with a brain still good n intact in the whole Cheng family ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I dunno. The first elder sounded pretty sleazy if you ask me. =D
DeleteThank you
