'Nothing.' Lei Qiuling and Huo Ye replied simultaneously as they giggled, causing Lei Qianyu to pout her lips.
While waiting for the two clans to arrive, those people chatted while enjoying the wine in their glasses.
However, the people from the Upper Clans did not touch the wine, for they were always on guard if they were outside their territory, especially since many people were also after them.
After some time, it was the Nangong Clan who arrived first. Those men, as usual, glanced over and were mesmerized by Nangong Ying'er's beauty and sexiness, especially since she was also wearing a revealing dress.
'Hmm?' Nangong Ying'er was surprised when she saw the people from the Upper Clans, but she immediately smiled and greeted them. "Ying'er pays respect to seniors."
"Haha! You are still beautiful as ever, Ying'er." Lei Yuntian said as he laughed heartily. "You- Ouch!"
Lei Yuntian loudly screamed as his two daughters tugged at his ears tightly, and both glared fiercely at him, making those people laugh with their antics.
"If you dare to tease her, I will report it to mother." Lei Qiuling said fiercely.
Lei Qianyu also said. "I'm sure you'd enjoy sleeping in the garden if mother kicked you out of your room."
"Hey... I'm just greeting Ying'er, so don't tell your mother about this matter." Lei Yuntian said with a pitiful look, but the Lei Sisters snorted, making him feel helpless.
Chen Wentian then asked. "So, are you sure you can beat the Zhang Clan in the battle for the status of the Upper Clan, Ying'er?"
"Patriarch Chen, Ying'er has confidence in my clan's ability, but I also don't dare to underestimate Zhang Long and the Zhang Clan." Nangong Ying'er replied with a beautiful smile, making them even more mesmerized by her smile.
Upon hearing that, Huo Yun shook his head and said to her. "You are wrong about that, Ying'er. Zhang Long is no longer the leader of the Zhang Clan, but his position has been replaced by Zhang Xingcai."
"Huh?" Nangong Ying'er was shocked to hear that. "Is that true, Patriarch Huo? Previously, I received information that all members of the Zhang Clan disappeared from their clan, so when did they transfer their leadership to Xingcai?"
"Oh?" They were shocked to hear Nangong Ying'er's words, and Huo Yun asked her again. "Where did you get that information? Before we came here, we all received news about Xingcai's appointment as their Matriarch; even the people from the Feng and Long Clans also attended the ceremony."
"That's right, Ying'er. We all got the same information, so it can't be wrong." Ling Ming, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.
On the other hand, Huo Ye kept glancing at Nangong Ying'er, and she was inwardly muttering. 'Unlike you, who has always relied on your beauty and sexiness, Zhang Xingcai is far more intelligent than you, and Ling Yun also supports her from behind, so your Nangong Clan can never beat the Zhang Clan.'
Nangong Ying'er was even more shocked after hearing their words; even though her expression didn't show any reaction, she felt outraged inside. 'What really happened? How could I not know that?'
Nangong Ying'er then turned to the elders behind her, but they shook their heads, for they didn't know about it either.
While Nangong Ying'er and the others were thinking about that, they all felt a mighty aura approaching them, so they rushed outside to check.
"The Feng Clan!?" They exclaimed in shock after recognizing Feng Ruxue's flying artifact, for no one dared to use the Phoenix mark on their flying artifact except for the Feng Clan.
Nangong Ying'er's expression turned ugly upon seeing that, and she clenched her fists tightly, making her palms turn incredibly red. 'Damn it! If Feng Ruxue comes here, I won't be able to beat Xingcai!'
Soon, Feng Ruxue, Zhang Xingcai, and Long Qiu landed at the same time.
"Madam Feng! Young Miss Long!" They exchanged glances and looked at each other in surprise; they didn't expect that Feng Ruxue would come. Although the Long Clan was only represented by Long Qiu, they all knew that she was Long Wei's favorite daughter, so it was natural that he would send her over.
Soon, Zhang Fan and the others landed behind the three women, and their expressions were full of confidence.
Although they had met Zhang Xingcai many times before, this was the first time they saw her wearing the attire of the leader of the Zhang Clan, and they felt that her appearance was even more outstanding and dignified than Zhang Long's.
"Xingcai pays respects to seniors." Zhang Xingcai said as she cupped her hands towards the Patriarchs of the Upper Clans, and she then glanced at Nangong Ying'er as she smiled faintly.
'Tch! This bitch!' Nangong Ying'er cursed in her heart and smiled back at Zhang Xingcai.
Feng Ruxue then walked in as she said. "Since all the clans have gathered in this place, let's immediately hold the meeting, and whoever gets the most votes will become the next Upper Clan to replace the Shui Clan."
"Yes." The people then entered the room again and sat down neatly, waiting for Zhang Xingcai and Nangong Ying'er to say something to them.
Seeing the wine before him, Zhang Fan was about to drink it, but Lan Meng immediately stopped him by shaking her head. 'Have you forgotten Xingcai's words, Father?'
Zhang Fang was stunned momentarily and nodded to his daughter-in-law. 'Sigh, good thing you reminded me.'
'En.' Lan Meng simply nodded to him.
Since the meeting was not only to fight for the status as the next Upper Clan but also to determine how many Lower and Middle Clans would side with them, Zhang Xingcai and Nangong Ying'er had to explain their vision and mission to those clans.
Zhang Xingcai was the first to start explaining her vision and mission, and everyone listened to her explanation carefully. However, some of those clans had decided from the start to side with the Zhang Clan, especially since they were backed by the Feng and Long Clans, so they didn't have to hesitate to choose.
After Zhang Xingcai explained everything, Nangong Ying'er explained her vision and mission.
Unlike Zhang Xingcai, Nangong Ying'er attempted to use the charm techniques to influence them. However, her actions did not escape Feng Ruxue's notice, and she immediately used her aura to dispel it.
'Shit!' Nangong Ying'er cursed in her heart after Feng Ruxue did that, but she remained calm and continued her explanation.
Long Qiu shook her head at Nangong Ying'er's reaction. 'Sigh, this woman is foolish and can't be compared with Xingcai; no matter how hard she tries to convince these people, she can never beat her.'
After Nangong Ying'er finished explaining everything, she immediately returned to her seat, but her heart was filled with anxiety, especially since Feng Ruxue kept watching her. 'What really happened? Why does she keep looking at me like that? Does she suspect me of something? Sigh, my clan will definitely lose to the Zhang Clan at this rate, so I have to think about my next move.'
Feng Ruxue then said to the people. "Since the two Matriarchs have explained their vision and mission, you can start voting. Whoever wins the vote, all of you will be under the auspices of one of the clans."
"Yes, Madam Feng." However, most of them waited to decide, and they considered the pros and cons first.
Seeing Nangong Ying'er's expression, Zhang Xingcai smiled faintly and sent a sound transmission to her. 'Hey, do you want to hear something?'
'Hmm?' Nangong Ying'er turned to Zhang Xingcai with a raised eyebrow. 'What do you want to tell me?'
'Mo Chen has accepted me as his wife.' Zhang Xingcai replied with a proud smile.
However, Nangong Ying'er's expression was only flat after hearing that. 'Oh?'
'Hmm? Aren't you surprised to hear that?' Zhang Xingcai asked with feigned surprise.
'Why should I be surprised by that?' Nangong Ying'er asked back with a shake of her head. 'Like I said a few days ago, I don't care about an ordinary man like Mo Chen.'
'Hehe' Zhang Xingcai giggled at that. 'Since you said that, then it's your loss.'
'Hmm?' Nangong Ying'er raised her eyebrows. 'What do you mean by that?'
Zhang Xingcai made a gesture with both hands. 'His dick is this big now, and I'm perfectly content dual cultivating with him.'
'Are you kidding me?' Nangong Ying'er screamed in shock. 'I remember his dick was already big long ago, but it wasn't that big!'
'Hahaha!' Zhang Xingcai laughed in satisfaction seeing Nangong Ying'er in such shock, and she then said. 'Unfortunately, you will never be able to be with Mo Chen again, for he will never accept you by his side, especially after you slept with several other men.'
Nangong Ying'er's expression turned ugly upon hearing that, but just as she was about to reply to Zhang Xingcai, several small balls rolled into the room, and they exploded instantly, filling the room with pink smoke.
Feng Ruxue immediately shouted. "Cover your mouths and noses with Qi now!"
Those people immediately carried out her order, but without the others noticing, the people's expressions from the Lower and Middle Clans turned strange and turned to Nangong Ying'er.
Nangong Ying'er smiled faintly shook her head, and a woman suddenly spoke from outside. "Hey, I didn't expect all of you to gather here, but you didn't invite me."
