Chapter 421
The elders were momentarily speechless when faced with Yin Mingchong’s questioning.
The elders all had heavy expressions. Some of them were reflecting on whether they had really been harsh on Yin Mingchong.
Only the First Elder had a calm expression as he looked at Yin Mingchong with a disappointed gaze.
After being refuted by the First Elder, Yin Mingchong felt even more unconvinced, so he widened his eyes and questioned the First Elder. “What’s wrong?!” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Yin Mingchong felt that he wasn’t wrong. It was the elders, those stubborn old men, who were wrong!
The First Elder sat behind the short table and said in a low voice, “In this world, there are very few geniuses. Most people are ordinary and useless. As people of the same era, we were inferior to your father. You were inferior to your brother Mingjue, and Yin Rong and Yin Fu are inferior to Yin Huang.”
“According to what you’re saying, should we, Yin Rong, and the disciples all rebel? Should we do whatever it takes to achieve our goals?”
When he heard the First Elder’s question, Yin Mingchong was momentarily at a loss for words and was unable to retort.
The First Elder continued, “In this world, there has never been fairness and equality. There are beautiful people, and naturally, there are ordinary and ugly people. It’s the same for cultivation talent.”
At this point, the First Elder suddenly looked at a woman in a yellow dress who was sitting quietly behind the Yin Clan disciples. That woman was beautiful, and her wavy hair accentuated her fair face. One look at her could arouse the protective instinct in men.
This woman was precisely Yin Mingchong’s wife.
The First Elder pointed at the beautiful woman and said, “After your wife passed away, didn’t you also choose a young, beautiful, and gentle girl when you remarried? Just like how you covet beauty, we also cherish talent.”
Among the guests, some cultivators who had the same thoughts as Yin Mingchong and were depressed actually felt enlightened after hearing the First Elder’s guidance.
That’s right. Some people were beautiful and some people were ugly. Cultivators naturally had differences in terms of talent.
Why could they admit that a beautiful woman was dazzling, but they refused to admit that a genius was outstanding?
However, Yin Mingchong couldn’t understand what outsiders like them could understand.
Yin Mingchong laughed loudly with ridicule once more, and he said, “First Elder, you guys have been content with being mediocre all your lives and don’t pursue anything, but I’m different from you guys. Don’t use the excuse you use to comfort yourself on me!”
“I’m different from you bunch of weak and mediocre old things. My life belongs to me, not you guys! You guys look down on me, so I insist on achieving great things to prove you wrong! If you don’t want me to be the Patriarch, I insist on being it!”
“If I didn’t have power and status, would that little girl be willing to follow me?!”
The First Elder grunted lightly and asked, “Yin Mingchong, have you obtained any results?”
Yin Mingchong recalled the contributions he’d made in the 21 years he’d led the Yin Clan. He was just about to boast when he heard the First Elder say, “You keep saying that you’re unconvinced, that you refuse to accept your fate, and that you want to produce results to prove us wrong. But I only saw that
in a short twenty years, under your lead, the Yin Clan fell from the position of the head of the Holy Spirit Continent’s Hundred Great Cultivation True Clans to the top 30s.”
“As for your carefully nurtured daughter, she couldn’t enter the Divine Realm Academy no matter how hard she tried. The eldest disciple you carefully chose couldn’t defeat the Young Master even after changing her blood nor could she obtain Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance.”
“Yin Mingchong, tell me, exactly what outstanding results did you achieve?”
The First Elder pointed at the yellow-dressed beauty and scolded angrily, “Using threats and promises to force a beautiful girl to marry you is the greatest achievement you will ever achieve in your life!”
Yin Mingchong was speechless.
He had nothing to say.
The First Elder suddenly stood up and cupped his fists in the direction of all the guests. He said in embarrassment, “Today is the Yin Clan’s Young Master’s homecoming banquet. Everyone has come from afar and should have been treated with music and wine. Unfortunately, a stubborn fool appeared in the clan!”
The cultivators shook their heads and said politely, “No worries, First Elder.”
The First Elder’s expression suddenly became serious. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yin Mingchong and said loudly, “The Yin Clan’s disciple, Yin Mingchong, attempted to murder his own niece and caused the descendant of a might figure to wander outside for 21 years. He deserves death! From this moment
