"You can't say that. The Duanmu family is one of the oldest families in the Qing-Yun realm. It's just that they have been going downhill in recent years. That's why they have been pushed aside by the Shangguan Yuwen family and the Shangguan Yuwen family. They are trying to get on our good side and form an alliance with us. They think highly of us. How can we say anything bad about them?" The third elder reprimanded Ling Yixuan.
Ling Yitong and the others agreed with the third elder's words. It was a good thing for others to look up to the Ling family, even if they did something wrong out of good intentions. At least it proved that the Ling family had the ability to be fawned over by others. There was nothing to complain about. They could not be happy only if others looked down on them, ignored them, or even despised them.
