Chapter 926 - The Experiment

Well, he didn't expect this answer so the Third Elder was silent for a moment. Who didn't know about Long Ming's wife? the only woman in the world who could make a cruel tyrant like Long Ming head over heel. 

However, there is so little information about Long Ming's wife, Luo Ri Yi, other than she comes from a rural village that had been wrecked by the earthquake and later she became the servant of the former prime minister of the Jiang Wei Kingdom, the Lao family which also Lao Min Na family.

No one know, how or when she met Long Ming but suddenly she somehow managed to work in Zhao Li Xin residence she even becomes Long Ming personal maid, it was shocking news cause everyone knows that Long Ming didn't like to get close to any women doesn't matter how beautiful they were Long Ming acted like they were some kinda a pest that he needs to avoid at all cost. 

If that is not shocking enough she suddenly became Long Ming's wife, no wonder many people said that she was an intelligent and cunning woman to able climb up on her master's bed but the Third Elder didn't share the same opinion with everyone else, he thought if Long Ming could be so easily seduced by women then Long Ming should have had many wives and concubines by now instead he lives in celibacy without any contact with women in any way.

"Long Ming's wife?" The Third elder still finds it hard to believe.

"I know it's hard to believe but I've met Long Ming's wife and she doesn't like what people describe her to be, moreover Brother Jin Hao respects her very much and not just brother, the other King's Palace also respects her a lot and I actually can understand why. …" Jin Hua's voice hinted admiration.

"What kind of woman is she?" The third elder becomes curious, cause Jin Hua and Jin Kai were quite picky and they rarely praised other people especially Jin Hao, the Thord Elder remembers him as someone that's not easy to Impress that was why little Jin Hao made all his teachers frustrated.

Jin Hua beamed in delight when she recalled his meeting with Lory "She is very intelligent, level-headed, kind, very approachable, she gives off comfortable feeling… there is something in her eyes that draws me to her as if I could trust my life in her hands, undeniably it was a strange feeling to people that you only met once but I feel like I could count on her" Jin Hua shrugged with resigning smiles.

The third elder still had doubts but he decided to trust Jin Hao and Jin Hua's judgment, besides he owed them too much, especially Jin Hao, "Tell me everything Jin Hao told you"

Jin Hua nodded firmly, "Okay..."

______________________________________________

Late that night, Just like Su Miou lin said Lin Jin Kai visited the Su family residence, the Fifth elder know he couldn't avoid Jin Kai anymore hence he finally agreed to meet Jin Kai, he order his Son Su Sheng to bring Jin Kai to the main hall.

The servants opened the double doors soon after Jin Kai sashayed into the room confidently following behind Su Sheng, meanwhile, inside the room, the Fifth Elder was sitting in his respective seats while Su Feng elegantly poured a cup of tea for his grandfather,  hear their footstep approaching the Fifth Elder was not in a hurry to stand up from his seat because he was an Elder his position was still higher than Jin Kai who was from junior generation and beside Jin Kai was still not the appointed leader yet.

Even though he expected Fifth Elder's reaction, alas his behavior still prick his pride, no matter what he was the second in command of his clan right now so the fifth elder should respect him, however, Jin kai kept his expression straight lest he wouldn't show his true feelings.

"Father, the first master is here" Su Sheng announced Jin Kai's presence in the room.

Fifth Elder cleared his throat then he got up from his seat and walked towards Jin kai, he cupped his fists and bowed his head courteously "Welcome to my humble home, what do we owe the of your presence" The Fifth Elder sentence was polite but his tone perfunctory, it was easy to see that Fifth Elder was not welcoming Jin Kai's arrival.

Jin Kai sneered at the old man's boldness, "Please don't be so polite, we will soon become family" he said with a bright smile.

It was a joyous announcement that the other families would cheer upon hearing such news, but the fifth elder's face darkened as did Su Sheng and Su Feng as their faces stiffened.

"What... you mean, first master?" Fifth Elder pretended to be unconscious biting his jaw a little tight from holding back his anger.

Jin Kai ignored Fifth Elder's eyes which turned into two angry black dots "I beg your permission to marry your grandson" Jin kai sneered evilly.

Fifth Elder's mouth was set in a firm line if looks could kill Jin Kai would die a thousand times now, "I can't take it, we don't deserve this boon" he said with blunt sarcasm.

Jin Kai chuckled seeing his defiance "Don't say that, Fifth Elder" he comfort the old man while patting the fifth elder shoulder like a close friend "Your position is even above the other elders even the Third Elder is no match for you other than My father respects you very much, I believe my father will rejoice when he heard the news" Jin Kai's face beamed with happiness if one saw his face they would think Jin kai was sincere but Fifth Elder and his family members knew better.

Su Sheng knew his father was on the verge of anger then he immediately cut in, "Thank you for your good intentions, we are all honored but Su Miou Lin is only fourteen years old, we still want to keep her three more years before we marry her, I hope the first master would understand" Su Sheng reason it made sense as the proper marriage age in this world was fifteen so fourteen was considered too young so it wouldn't be strange for them to want to delay the wedding.

"I see, what if the engagement first I don't think it's too soon, usually women have been betrothed since the age of eleven," said Jin Kai.

"No!" The Fifth elder suddenly shouts and attracts everyone's intention, The fifth shot Jin Kai with a warning look "I will not approve!" he growls like an angry beast.

Jin Kai wasn't surprised, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile, "Don't you think you're too quick to make a decision for the fifth elder" Jin Kai smirked, "Your granddaughter's reputation is at stake now, people will question her innocent, her value, her worth, people will mock her, ridiculed her and laughing at her,  you think you can't protect her from all of that, Have you forgotten what happened to Third Elder disciple, Chi Zu. Did you forget how they ruined that poor girl over the years, how people hurt her little by little until she was crushed and nothing was left of her, would you make the same mistake as Third Elder?" Jin kai words were like a sharp knife that pierce the old man's heart.

"You!" Fifth Elder's voice choked in his throat.

Su Sheng and Su Feng's anger also flared, they never thought Jin Kai would dare to be so presumptuous towards them, is Jin kai not afraid that they will fight back, does Jin kai think they are easy to suppress?

Seeing the hatred in the eyes of Su's family Jin Kai chuckled in an eerie tone "If you think I will be afraid you will fight then you are wrong, I'm not worried but I think you should be worried because casualties will fall from both our sides but the difference is I don't care if people on my side have to die, I have no problem to sacrificed anyone for my goal but I guess you don't think the same thing, aren't you?" Jin Kai snickered as he walked to the fifth elder's respective chair then casually sat on the chair while arrogantly crossing his legs.

"You...why are you doing this to us, our family has served the Jin family and our Misty Lake Clan for centuries, how could you do this to us?" Su Sheng's voice trembles in anger if he doesn't hear it first hands he will not believe Jin Kai has the audacity to threaten their family.

Jin Kai took a deep breath as he poured the tea that Su Feng prepared for his grandfather on the new cup, then he slowly sipped the tea elegantly and then he look at them with a calm voice he says: "Believe it or not, I'm doing this for our clan good, therefore, a little sacrifice is necessary for our clan survival" he then put down the teacup on the side table and smile at them.

"What do you want?" The Fifth elder interrupted.

There was a glint of satisfaction in Jin Kai's eyes "Well, I don't ask much" Jin Kai said while rubbing his hands together "I just need your cooperation with my little....experiment" a vicious grin plastered on his handsome face.
