Lian Dajian's voice was stern and invoked a sense of danger in the minds of all the elders. They had not seen the patriarch act like this for ages and, when he had done so in the past, things had not turned out well.
"P-patriarch… may I ask something?" One of the high elders requested.
"You may." Lian Dajian permitted.
"Was… your surprise leave associated with the millennium forest?" the high elder questioned.
"Yes." Lian Dajian answered, much to their surprise.
But the surprise was just about to begin.
"I went to the Millennium forest to meet with the King as well as with the first Heir." Lian Dajian said, not revealing the actual contents of the conversations.
"Xiaojian!" Lian Dajian called out.
"Yes, Patriarch!" The former fatty stepped forward.
And as soon as he did this, the elders' eyes went wide.
'What!?'
'That's Lian Xiaojian?'
'How did the fatty get this thin?'
