Chapter 985: Chapter 1009:
Everyone was too confused with anger, and upon hearing the Second Elderâs words, they disregarded hierarchy and retorted collectively.
"Second Elder, why are you speaking up for this girl? Did she offer you some benefits?"
"When Elder Wen was alive, you were accustomed to currying favor, and now even after heâs gone, youâre still flattering his apprentice!"
"Second Elder, youâre so eager to let this girl become the Sect Leader. Itâs clear your intentions arenât pure; you likely want to take advantage of her once sheâs in the position."
Even the usually composed Second Elder turned purple with anger upon hearing these malicious guesses.
Seeing this, Nianyang spoke with her red lips slightly parted, like pearls dropping onto a jade plate. Her words were cold and stern, "Elders, please show some respect. If you continue to slander without basis, I wonât hesitate to deliver a lawsuit to each of you, and we can settle it definitively in court!"
The eldersâ expressions changed; they thought Nianyang easy to bully, but never expected the girl to be so ruthless. Indeed, she showed no soft-heartedness.
The Third Elder was furious, "I knew it, this girl harbors ill-will. To seize the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, she overlooks those of us who paved the way. Though it was Elder Wen who built the family, without us, there would be no glory today. Yet you actually consider suing us!"
Nianyangâs attitude was firm, "I also wanted to respect you all, but I realized youâre not worthy. Regardless of your dissatisfactions, it was my mentor who entrusted the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family to me. I am now the Sect Leader of the family, yet you not only refuse to obey command, but attempt to coerce me into relinquishing ownership. Shouldnât I use the law to defend my rights?"
"..."
The elders were speechlessâthey were used to exploiting their age, and most people fell into their trap, but they never anticipated Nianyang to be so unyielding.
The Second Elder couldnât help but admire Nianyang; his support for her was solely due to Elder Wen.
However, it seemed this young girl indeed possessed some capability.
Perhaps the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family might not fall short compared to the era when Elder Wen was alive.
The Second Elder couldnât argue with Nianyang and feared she might really sue, so he changed his strategy.
He snorted coldly, "You slick little girl with your cunning words, engaging with you damages my dignity. Iâll make this clear, if you donât sensibly relinquish ownership, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family will have no future; I wonât remain to serve it!"
"Thatâs right, if you insist on being Sect Leader, I wonât comply; Iâm leaving!"
"Iâm leaving too; I wonât serve an inexperienced girl!"
"Worst case, weâll form our own association outside; itâs better than facing ridicule!"
The other elders echoed this, leaving the Second Elder aggravated, "You, you all, youâre too much! Donât forget you joined the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, begging Elder Wen, and signed a lifelong agreement. Leaving means legal consequences!"
Nianyang abruptly spoke, "Alright, since the elders have their own ideas, forcing doesnât work. I wonât keep those whose hearts are elsewhere. You may leave on your own accord."
