Bab 278: Chapter 265: Blocking the River Flow

The Second Elder was fuming with anger but powerless to change the situation, and besides the humiliation, there was something called fear in his heart.

Would Zheng Gongxuan let him off? Would he seek retribution after autumn? These thoughts whirled incessantly in his mind, preventing him from finding any peace.

The Supreme Elder sat heavily in his chair; he had fully recovered now. Looking at Zheng Yao, who was inciting trouble before him, he sighed and said, "Second Elder, you should also go back. Zheng Gongxuan becoming the Lord Qingquan is the best news for our Zheng Family."

"At the very least, they will not harm our Zheng Family."
