Chapter 4 Requesting to be Exterminated
The Qiu Family members, whose eyes had turned red upon hearing this, were greedily looking at the good things filling half the courtyard, calculating what they could get their hands on later.An Elder couldn't help but angrily retort, "Qiu Zhan, what is the meaning of this?
For a Wasted Daughter (Wasted Daughter), are you going to make an enemy of our entire Family?
You still have two sons to raise!Don't think you are very powerful now; without the Qiu Family protecting you, can you hold onto these things?
And won't you ever need the Family again in the future?
"Qiu Zhan chuckled twice, his voice carrying a harsh, desolate tone: "Waste (Waste)?
My daughter is still standing here perfectly fine.
How many of you present here haven't taken a Medicinal Pill she refined?
Now she needs you, but you casually dismiss her with some paltry offerings, yet still covet the resources we risked our lives to hunt for?
How dare we rely on the Family? I never realized before, how thick-skinned you all are!
"The Qiu Family members blushed, but the Clan Chief still bit the bullet and said,"The demon dispelling pill is too expensive; our Clan can't afford it.
How about this, you leave two more tenths of your resources this time.We will return and quickly select some warriors with good Aptitude for Ling Ling to be her husband.
That's better than waiting for the System to force a marriage, isn't it?
For future matters, we can slowly figure out solutions.
"Ling Ling couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter, "This is the first time I've heard of someone trying to bargain while trying to get something for nothing.Alright, the resources my father and brothers hunted this time are not for you, and they won't be in the future either!
After all, with a bottomless pit like me around, they have to provide for me.
"The Qiu Family father and two sons all nodded.
Ling Ling's Mental Energy had dropped to C, so she couldn't find an excellent husband; naturally, she would have to rely on her maiden Family for support in the future.Supporting a Contract Master from C-grade to A-grade requires a lot of resources!
How could the Qiu Family members agree? Qiu Zhan's Mental Energy and combat power were both A, he had rich hunting experience, and he had formed a powerful beast-hunting squad that could bring abundant resources to the Clan every month.How could they let the fat meat that was already at their mouth fly away?
The Clan Chief stared at Father Qiu and said, "Qiu Family is not decided by me alone or by us alone.It's impossible for you to keep all these resources.
There is no such precedent in the Qiu Family, unless you are no longer members of the Qiu Family!
"Ling Ling leaned against a nearby tree trunk, arms crossed, watching calmly.She was very curious to see how far the Original Owner's father would go for her.Leaving the Family was the most severe punishment.
Everyone felt that even if Qiu Zhan was powerful, the benefits and protection provided by the Clan were not something anyone could easily give up.Moreover, the Qiu Family of their Gulan Star was just a branch Family; the main branch of the Qiu Family was one of the top hundred Great Families in the Interstellar Federation!
Qiu Zhan looked at the certainty and condescending disdain on the faces of the Clan members, then turned to look at his daughter's calm expression, gritting his teeth and saying, "Ling Ling still has a chance.
Without the demon dispelling pill, she will be completely Waste (Waste).
As long as the Family can provide two months' worth of demon dispelling pills, I am willing to hand over all the resources I hunt for three years.
"The Clan Chief and the Elders exchanged glances, their expressions relaxing.
They knew that Qiu Zhan was using retreat as a means to advance; no one would think of leaving the Qiu Family and becoming an enemy of the entire Family.
"No, the demon dispelling pill is a fourth-grade Medicinal Pill, not white jade cabbage growing in the ground.
Three to five pills might be acceptable, but how can you ask for dozens at once?
You think too highly of our Qiu Family branch!
I still say the same thing: the Clan will give another two million crystal stones, and we will take one-tenth less of your resources this time.If there's an opportunity in the future, we will still strive for Ling Ling.
If you don't agree, then please request to be expelled from the Clan!
"The Clan Chief spoke calmly, maintaining his composure.Although the total value of Qiu Zhan's relinquished three years of hunting shares was not much different from two months' worth of demon dispelling pills, everyone present was unwilling to have resources that should have entered their pockets used to support Ling Ling, a C-grade Contract Master.But as soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Zhan clenched his fists, made up his mind, and directly knelt down, bowing: "Qiu Zhan, of the Qiu Family branch, requests to be expelled from the Clan with his wife and children!
"Immediately after, Qiu Ze, Wei Jing, and Mother Qiu Bai Qin also knelt down, repeating the same words.Ling Ling watched with curiosity.In the eyes of others, she was a two-thousand-year-old old monster, but besides Cultivating and searching for resources, she rarely interfered in other people's affairs.
Her emotions were particularly detached; it was only when the younger generation of the Clan was bullied that she, the Old Ancestor, needed to come out and support them.
Her memories of her own relatives were not deep, and she had always been an admired existence since childhood.
Besides the pain of Cultivating and advancing, she had never experienced any setbacks.It is said that true feelings are seen in times of adversity.
She had always been the one others begged for protection, and she had long forgotten the feeling of being protected.Qiu Clan Chief and the Elders were greatly angered, "Good, good, good, Qiu Zhan, your Flame Beast Hunting Squad has been too glorious recently.
Do you think you can establish your own household?
Alright, if you've thought it through, then submit your application.
Remember, once you leave here, you can't come back!
"Qiu Zhan nodded, stood up, and emotionlessly raised his wrist. He operated on his light brain for a moment, submitted the application to request expulsion from the Clan, and then calmly looked at the Clan Chief.It was as if he was saying that the Clan Chief would back down at the last minute, as if he had him cornered.The other four members of the Qiu Family, including Ling Ling, also followed suit and submitted their applications.The Clan Chief gritted his teeth and lowered his head, approving the application on the spot.
With a livid face, he said, "Alright, now none of you are part of the Qiu Family.
Move out of here before tonight!"After speaking, he flung his hand and left.
Several Elders also shook their heads and sighed as they followed: "After all, they are young and impetuous.
They'll regret it later."The remaining people raised their chins, urging the five members of the Qiu Family to quickly pack their things and find new accommodation.Father Qiu looked at Ling Ling, smiled, and stroked her head: "Ling Ling, don't be afraid.
With father and your brothers here, we won't let you suffer any grievances.The Qiu Family has wronged you, so we'll leave!
We'll leave and start a new life!"Without the halo of a Genius girl, if Ling Ling stayed, she would also be bullied.Ling Ling was a little uncomfortable with being touched and chuckled, "Don't worry, it definitely won't be us who regret leaving the Qiu Family branch.We will definitely get better and better.
Hmm, you and your brothers can all become S-grade, or even SS-grade warriors!
"Qiu Ze chuckled, "You girl, everyone is worried about you, but you're even more lively than usual, actually making fun of us?
"Ling Ling touched her nose, her eyes curving into a smile.
Yes, the Original Owner was just a ten-year-old girl, and the halo of a Genius girl had suppressed all her natural inclinations, making her even more like an Old Ancestor than herself.Father Qiu assigned tasks to everyone: finding a house, packing things, helping with the move, and so on.Only Ling Ling was idle, continuing to tinker with her light brain.The next door was bustling with people coming and going, especially lively.
She frowned and peeked out.Mother Qiu fell silent, then said softly, "Tomorrow is also Qiu Yi's eighteenth birthday. "
