Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2206: Chapter 248: With More Friends, the Road Is Easier (Part 2)

“You!”

Elder Yun’s chest was filled with frustration, almost causing her to spit out blood.

She glared angrily: “Chao Qian Qi, do you know you’re the Young Master of the Chao clan? You’re fully aware the family is in trouble now, yet you’re indulging in revelry here every day. Do you have no sense of family honor at all?”

“What does it have to do with me?” Chao Qian Qi sneered disdainfully, “I’m just an ousted heir. If there’s enjoyment, naturally, I should savor it. Even if the sky is falling, there is a bunch of old folks to hold it up. If you don’t want to have a drink with me, then get the hell out and stop being an eyesore.”

Elder Yun was furious.

But she knew this Chao Qian Qi was such a disgraceful person, it’s pointless to argue further; she immediately calmed herself and said patiently, “I am here on orders from the Demon Lord, to summon you to see him.”

“Not going. If the old guy wants to see me, why doesn’t he come himself?” Chao Qian Qi calmly hugged a woman, drinking.

“You are bold! How dare you address the Demon Lord like that!” Elder Yun’s expression changed, “Do you know why he’s looking for you? He intends to cultivate you as his successor.”

“Bah!” Chao Qian Qi sneered, indifferent, “Back then, you said you were grooming Chao Qianjue, and kicked me aside. Now that that failure Chao Qianjue caused trouble, you want to use me instead? What do you take me for? A dog that comes and goes at your beck and call?”

“I have no interest in being the successor of the Demon Lord, find someone else.”

How did Chao Qian Qi survive without getting killed by his elders given his nasty attitude?

Elder Yun was enraged, yet could only suppress her exploding urge, and spoke patiently: “Young Master Qian Qi, what exactly will it take for you to see the Demon Lord?”

“Unless the old guy comes to see me himself, I might reluctantly meet him.” Chao Qian Qi exhibited an “I’m the best in the world” attitude.

“You!” Elder Yun exclaimed angrily, “How could someone of the Demon Lord’s status come to see you? Choose another condition.”

“Alright, in consideration of Elder Yun’s sincere invitation.” Chao Qian Qi glanced at Elder Yun, a rogue’s seductive evil smile suddenly appearing on his face, “If you drink a cup of wine with me, I’ll go with you.”

“Scoundrel!”

Elder Yun couldn’t hold back any longer, Mysterious Energy surged around her, ready to slap this wretched thing to death to end it all.

However, Chao Qian Qi, seeing this, did not move at all, continuing to embrace the woman and drink, amusedly watching the scene, a cold mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

Just as Elder Yun was about to strike in fury.

A dignified voice suddenly rang out.

“Stop.”

After the voice fell, a figure appeared in the room.

It was a burly middle-aged man.

He appeared without any trace of smoke, as if he had been standing there all along.

The black outfit outlined his burly figure, further enhancing his solemn aura. Despite retracting his pressure, his overwhelming presence was still filled with an indescribable powerful oppressiveness, making people involuntarily feel awe.

The light fell on his face, distinctly illuminating his firm brows and deep eyes, also reflecting the undercurrents in his gaze.

“Demon Lord.” Elder Yun was shocked, cold sweat instantly seeping from her forehead and back, “Why did you come personally?”

The Demon Lord, hands behind his back, glanced lightly at Chao Qian Qi: “Little Qian Qi, I came in person, are you satisfied now?”

“Satisfied, satisfied.”

Chao Qian Qi immediately dropped his arrogance from facing Elder Yun earlier, almost instantly rolling out of the woman’s arms, flashing over to the Demon Lord, greeted him deeply, wearing a cheeky smile: “How could Qian Qi dare truly have the Old Ancestor come himself? It was merely a joke on Elder Yun over the years of frustration.”

Frustration?

The Demon Lord glanced at the women, speechless.

Not wanting to waste words, he waved to move them all out, then looked at Chao Qian Qi: “And now, still frustrated?”

“Wouldn’t that depend on the Old Ancestor’s wishes?” Chao Qian Qi laughed mischievously, “If you truly want me to bear heavy responsibilities, you need to show some intention, right? Otherwise, what qualification do I have to challenge Crown Prince Shentu Jingming, Ice Phoenix Goddess Wang Ruobing?”

“So, in your eyes, the youth like Zongzheng Yinshao, Chi Hongbo in the Real Demon Palace, who have been loud recently, aren’t an issue?” The Demon Lord smiled.

“The direct disciples of Elder Demon of Abyss and Elder Demon Tianxie, suppressed by Chao Qianjue all these years, lost their spirit long ago.” Chao Qian Qi sneered disdainfully, “They’re merely trying to seize the moment while our Chao clan is in trouble, attempting to take advantage while the house is on fire. Just those two failures, Young Master doesn’t care at all.”

“Good~” The Demon Lord’s eyes showed appreciation, “Seems like your indulgence in beauty and pleasure over the years was merely a cover, never having abandoned effort, hiding deeply. If so, you start by dealing with Zongzheng Yinshao and Chi Hongbo, show them the depth of our Chao clan.”
