Chapter 1787: Chapter 1782: Watching from the Sidelines

"The Family Head must’ve stirred up some trouble out there!"

Hearing Cao Meng’s response, they exchanged a glance, and all came up with almost the exact same guess.

With that guess in mind, they nervously clenched their fists.

They didn’t know who exactly Cao Meng had pissed off, but since the other party dared to come straight to the door, that meant it wasn’t some ordinary person.

Cao Meng caught the changes in their expressions and frowned in irritation.

Very quickly, he spoke coldly with clear disgust on his face, "What? What’s with those faces? Just one uninvited guest and you’re scared shitless? Are you all this useless?"

"Family Head, how could we possibly be scared!"

"Yeah! Family Head, don’t worry, there’s no way we’ll be scared!"

"That’s right!"

Hearing Cao Meng’s angry questioning, they rushed to show their stance.

They knew they had to say this now, otherwise they’d definitely end up on Cao Meng’s bad side.

"You’d better really be thinking that way."

With that cold remark, Cao Meng strode off quickly.

They exchanged a look and quickly followed after him.

They knew Cao Meng was a bit displeased with them now.

Once they were sure of that, they looked at each other again.

They knew they had to perform well later, otherwise they’d really end up on his blacklist.

...

"Looks like our Family Head stirred up some trouble outside and got someone coming straight to him, huh."

"Sure does."

Not far away, the people from the Elder Council narrowed their eyes and spoke casually.

Earlier, they had a good discussion and decided not to go against Cao Meng...

But they also weren’t planning to help, so right now they were just standing here quietly, ready to watch a good show.

At this moment, one of them hesitated for a second, then spoke somewhat uncertainly, "Is it really fine for us to just sit on the fence like this? We should probably try our best to stand with Cao Meng now, that’s the only way to avoid a lot of future trouble, right?"

This elder knew that after what had happened earlier, there was some rift between them and Cao Meng.

Under these circumstances, they really did need to stand by Cao Meng as much as possible, because only then could their relationship be eased.

Hearing this uncertain suggestion, the most authoritative elder smiled slightly and replied, "True. If we stand with Cao Meng, we can indeed avoid a lot of trouble later, and also ease our relationship."

Hearing that response, all the elders spoke up in unison, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry and catch up!"

"Hold on."

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, this particularly authoritative elder calmly explained, "What I just said applies in normal situations. Right now is a special situation."

"Special? What’s special about it?"

"Yeah, what?"

Seeing their confused faces, he smiled lightly and said, "By ’special situation’ I mean this: someone’s here to cause trouble now, so we wait and see. If Cao Meng can handle it, we naturally go stand on his side. If he can’t, then we step out. Wouldn’t that earn us even more of his gratitude?"

"That’s right!"

Their eyes lit up.

It’s easy to add flowers to brocade; it’s hard to send charcoal in the snow.

If they went now, he wouldn’t be that grateful. But once he actually ran into trouble and they stepped in then, they’d reap much more gratitude in return.

Seeing all their expressions brighten, he knew they clearly thought his idea was pretty good...

Smiling faintly, he looked at one of his subordinates and said, "Go up ahead and keep an eye on things. Report back to us immediately if there’s any new development."

"Yes!"
