"What, he ran away?" The other elders were shocked.    

The young man was afraid that they wouldn't believe him, so he quickly said, "I saw with my own eyes that Gong Liangyi left Lan City. I don't know where he went."    

"Because there aren't many people outside, I don't dare to follow him anymore."    

Even if he wanted to follow, he wouldn't be able to.    

In the city, gong Liangyi's speed was very slow.    

But when he reached the outskirts of the city, he was connected in all directions. The other party was a Flood Dragon expert, how could he possibly catch up?    

"Gong Liangyi went outside the city under such circumstances. Looks like he ran away without a doubt." Wang Yue said in a deep voice.    

The other elders looked at each other, not knowing what to do.    

They couldn't understand why Gong Liangyi wanted to run.    

Even if he didn't complete the mission, he could just return the Origin Stone and apologize.    

Would they eat him because he hadn't completed the mission?    

In the eyes of the elders, the Wang Family only didn't have the patriarch. They didn't take it seriously.    

The Lan City had become peaceful and quiet, causing them to lose their vigilance.    

Without the patriarch, they would discuss another one. That's right, it was no big deal.    

……    

"What should we do now?" someone asked.    

Gong Liangyi thought for a moment and said: "Qin Ming's matter must be resolved, or else everyone below will feel unsettled."    

"How about this, we push the matter of selecting the patriarch to the back. We will go and pay a visit to the various large families in batches."    

Qin Ming's bounty was like a fishbone stuck in their throats. They had to settle this matter first before they could peacefully choose the patriarch.    

The servants below were in chaos. The auction had also stopped. They could not continue like this.    

They would have to wait for the Wang Family to get on the right track in order to earn their offerings next month.    

Everyone expressed their agreement with the suggestion.    

This time, no one argued. They all realized that it was not that simple this time.    

When they truly encountered danger, as long as they were not fools, they still knew how to unite.    

……    

Thus, the meeting ended just like that. All the elders began to pay a visit to the families of Lan City, wanting them to step forward and stop Qin Ming's actions.    

Whether it was the big families or the Small Family, they didn't choose them.    

After a day, all the visiting elders returned to the meeting hall and sat down dejectedly on their chairs.    

Without success, the top families would not help them. On the surface, they were polite, but once they started to talk about proper business, they would find all kinds of excuses to shirk the responsibility.    

Some of the family's elders were celebrating their birthday. Some of them even pretended to be sick.    

"I never thought that after running the Wang Family in Lan City for so many years, we would encounter a real problem. None of us are willing to help."    

"This is really disappointing."    

Wang Yue looked at the sky and sighed.    

Other than that, there was something even worse.    

After the two elders paid a visit, they left Lan City just like Gong Liangyi.    

They didn't even bring their concubines with them.    

As if they had encountered a great danger, they hurriedly ran away.    

This made him very puzzled.    

Could it be because of Qin Ming?    

Wang Yue shook his head.    

He felt that it was impossible.    

The forces behind Qin Ming had always been hiding their heads and showing their tails. This had frightened them. This was too timid.    

All the elders were Flood Dragon Realm experts. It was impossible that they didn't even have this bit of courage.    

"What should we do now?" Seeing that everyone had arrived, one of the elders asked.
