All she could see was an empty house. There was nothing that matched Ruan Erxin's knowledge. Even the footsteps and quarrels that were close to her ears could not give her the slightest understanding of the situation at the moment.
"I heard that the heir this time is a girl who doesn't know anything?”a high-pitched voice asked.
The person accompanying him smiled silently and replied in a light tone,"I heard so."
"Humph! I want to see how different the leader of this team will be!”
Ruan Erxin carefully hid behind the tall candlestick. The light of the fire shone on her panicked face. The projection seemed to understand her fear and moved irregularly. The person who came saw this timid girl.
Following Ruan Er Xin's gaze, a large group of people entered the room. There were five people in total. The first person Ruan Er Xin noticed was Kong Zhu, who was standing at the side with a serious expression. Then, there were the two old men surrounding the crowd. The former stared angrily at Ruan Er Xin, who was standing in the shadow of the lamp, while the latter smiled at her. Ruan Er Xin was stunned. After leaving the candlestick, she stood to the side. He moved his lips, wanting to ask something.
A young man introduced the angry old man,""She's the heir this time."
The old man took a step forward, and Ruan Erxin felt the cold gaze of the old man making her freeze on the spot. "Are you the successor?"
Ruan Erxin shook her head mechanically. She didn't dare to look at the other person and only looked at a spot in the room. The old man didn't think so. When he saw the ring on her right hand, he clearly felt cheated. He pointed angrily and questioned,"What's that?"
Ruan Erxin took a step back, feeling inexplicably afraid. The old man stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, using all his strength to remove the ring on her finger. Ruan Er frowned in pain and silently tried to break free from the other party's grip. Kong Zhu, who was at the side, wanted to step forward a few times but was stopped by the young man. In the end, another old man could not stand it anymore and came forward to grab his hand."What is Mr. Jiang doing?"
The other party tried to shake him off in dissatisfaction and said anxiously,"How can the heir be her! Every heir should be a male, and this time, he should be my student!”
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
"What about me?" The old man was obviously embarrassed by his student's rebuttal.
The old man who had asked him to let go of Ruan Erxin said lightly,""You? Aren't you just disobeying the last wishes of the previous heir and disrespecting the current heir?”
"This? Zhang, don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh? Am I talking nonsense?" The old man saw that he couldn't pull it away, so he flicked his sleeve mockingly after letting go.
The old man watched as the other party stared at him as he tried to take off the ring on his hand. Then, he looked at each other's students. On the other side, Wu Qing, who had always been as smart as the previous heir, stared at his actions. After he failed to snatch it, it had already become an established fact that the heir was the little girl in front of him. He snorted coldly and let go of her hand.
Ruan Erxin immediately ran to the side. Her numb fingers made it impossible for her to think about how to face this strange situation. She heard the old man say,""I hope you won't disappoint everyone!”He swung his sleeves and walked away.
The old man beside him looked at his old friend's back and shook his head. He was disappointed that he was still so impulsive at such an old age. He walked over to Ruan Erxin and said,""You can ignore this stubborn old man. Just stay here and wait for the arrival of the knight.”
Ruan Er Xin raised her head and looked into the old man's sincere eyes. Her restless heart gradually calmed down. In her many years of life, nothing had ever happened that made her emotions more complicated than what had just happened in a few minutes.
The old man saw her nod and turned to leave. When he passed by the other three, he ordered,"Kong Zhu and Mingyi will go and arrange the reception. Wu Qing, I will represent your teacher and hope that you will stay behind to become a guide for our new members to familiarize themselves with the environment. Seeing the latter nod, he left in peace.
Kong Zhu didn't have the intention to say another word to Ruan Er Xin.
