This barrage of questions made the expression of the Third Elder quite ugly.
"He’s really bold, daring to speak to me like this!"
In his heart, he was furiously roaring.
Yet on the surface, he did not show much anger!
Because he knew the current situation was indeed not in his favor, so if he shouted now, it would only make the scene more awkward.
"What’s wrong? You don’t know what to say?"
Seeing him silent, Cao Meng coldly laughed and spoke again.
Cao Meng knew him quite well, so he was aware that this guy was surely cursing him in his heart.
Cao Meng didn’t mind this.
Because even if he cursed furiously for an hour, Cao Meng wouldn’t be hurt in the slightest!
So he felt free to let him curse if he wanted.
Upon hearing Cao Meng question him again, he knew he couldn’t escape, took a deep breath, and quickly said, "Family Head, I was indeed wrong before, please give me a chance!"
Cao Meng knew he had to lower his head now, so without hesitation, he frankly admitted his mistake...
...
"His scheming is really deep!"
"Yes indeed!"
The other elders present couldn’t help but secretly admire him when they heard his humble words.
Previously, they knew he had deep scheming...
So when interacting with him, they were always particularly cautious.
They thought as long as they were a bit careful, he wouldn’t have any chance to harm them.
Now, they realized they had underestimated his depth.
Exchanging a glance, their sense of vigilance towards him increased substantially.
Seeing the other elders’ vigilance, Cao Meng smiled.
After this, Cao Meng looked at him and spoke meaningfully, "Third Elder, you have watched me grow up since childhood! You should understand me well! I’m truly disappointed by today’s matter. Many have said before that you’re too old to continue in the Elder Council, but I always felt you were still vigorous. However, now I think it’s time to reconsider."
"Family Head, what do you mean?"
Originally submissive and obedient, his expression suddenly changed.
His expression was really ugly at this moment because he realized Cao Meng was truly going to act against him...
Previously, he thought even if Cao Meng was dissatisfied with him, he wouldn’t dare really take action against him.
Now, he realized he might have thought too much, Cao Meng was far bolder than he imagined.
Seeing his ugly expression, Cao Meng calmly spoke again, "I don’t mean anything, just want the Third Elder to step aside and have a good rest. You’ve fought nearly a lifetime for our family, now you’re old, and should have a proper rest."
Deeply looking at Cao Meng, he hoarsely growled, "You want to impeach me in person now? Isn’t this too much?"
"Third Elder, by saying this, I feel wronged! I am in no way impeaching you, I just want you to rest well! After all, your age is indeed old!"
"I admit I’m old, but I can still continue! Let me make the best use of my twilight years, I feel good about it!"
Upon hearing his persistence, Cao Meng spoke again, "Third Elder, you are truly old, so still take a rest!"
Feeling Cao Meng’s resolve, he paused for a second, then asked again, "You still want to impeach me?"
"As said, I just want you to rest well! So, let’s ask for others’ opinions."
