“This matter is well done!”
The fifth elder lifted the cup of tea in his hand and shook his head and blew lightly, the white water mist slowly dispersed with the tea leaves on the surface, and in the process of speaking, he did not even glance at Ding Li.
After hearing the elder’s praise, Ding Li was delighted: “I’m just contributing a little to the Ding family.”
When he had finished, the Fifth Elder’s face smiled.
“Good, you have a high awareness, you are not arrogant, you are not impatient, you are a great talent.
If there were more sons and grandsons like you in our family, our Ding family would have dominated Da Qiu long ago.”
Such praise made Ding Li feel a little dizzy, saying that he was better than his peers in the family, but the next words of the Fifth Elder caused his pores to explode.
“I heard that you and that Lin Mo have a good relationship, not only did you clean up Ding Genji together, but you also shared the underwater treasures you dug up with him.
That Lin Mo is also a young talent, having a good relationship with him will be beneficial to our Ding family as well.”
Ding Li looked at the other party’s amiable smile and instantly his scalp tingled.
As a member of the Elders’ Council, none of them were oiled lamps.
If he hadn’t been cautioned by Lin Mo earlier, Ding Li might have simply responded.
But now that he sensed the abnormality, did the huge Ding family need to please Lin Mo? Obviously not.
Moreover, Lin Mo’s men had blown up the Ding family’s pier before, which was undoubtedly provoking the Ding family, and now they were taking half of the treasure that should have belonged to the Ding family, how could the Ding family give Lin Mo a good face.
As Ding Li thought of this, his brain raced, and in the blink of an eye his face was covered in hatred.
“The Fifth Elder doesn’t know, I don’t actually have a cordial relationship with that Lin Mo, once again we have clashed many times before.”
The Fifth Elder raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Oh? Is that so? Then how come you two have come together this time.”
“It’s because that D*mned b*****d Lin Mo forced me to, after he brought me down from the Rongli, he kept me under house arrest.”
After saying this, Ding Li lowered his head in shame, “I was not strong-minded enough, and under Lin Mo’s torture, I told him about the investigation of the Ding family branch.”
“After Lin Mo learned of this, he forced me to go with him, wanting to use my hand to kill the Kong family’s men.”
Lin Mo’s enmity with the Kong Family was something that the whole of Da Qu knew about, so Ding Li said this to sort of round out the matter.
The Fifth Elder nodded and asked with a smile, “Then what about the treasure!”
At this time, Ding Li completely ordered what Lin Mo had said to him earlier, forcing himself to pretend to be angry, recalling the humiliation the Crown Prince had given him, his eyes were suddenly dissatisfied with blood, and his cheeks were suffocated with red.
“I’m angry just talking about it, this D*mned Lin Mo took advantage of our snipe fight and robbed a large amount of treasure with his men.”
“After I was done, I went after him to settle the score they even broke my leg!”
Ding Li finished and pointed to his broken foot.
It was only at this point that the Fifth Elder nodded in satisfaction, only to have the smile on his face put away as well.
“Young people are not strong-willed, they still need more exercise.
Also talents are missing a lot, from now on do everything over your head and don’t always get counted.”
After he finished his lecture, he put down the cup of tea in his hand.
“Indeed, the strength of the men is a bit poor, in a few days I will have the butler send you a batch of armed supplies.
Also on Lin Mo’s side, our Ding family will seek justice for you.”
When Ding Li saw the Fifth Elder put down his teacup, he knew the order to expel him, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
“Thank you, Fifth Elder! Ding Li bids farewell!”
After saying that he left the place with quick steps, it was indeed as Lin Mo had said, although the Ding Clan had not made any moves on the surface, they had already set their eyes on Lin Mo in private.
“If I had just agreed to have a relationship with Lin Mo, I would probably be out of luck.”
Thinking about this, Ding Li subconsciously wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead.
