C680 An Excuse

However, after this period of time, Patriarch Loong found out what Zhang Fann had done. It really shocked him.2

If Patriarch Loong was allowed to make a choice, he would definitely respect Loong Xue's choice, or he would think of a way to keep Zhang Fann and let Loong Xue marry him. This way, he would be able to rest assured of his daughter's happiness for the rest of her life.

However, if he wanted to do all of this, he had to deal with the troubles in front of him first. Otherwise, Loong Xue and Zhang Fann would not be able to be together. They would also come and stir up trouble whenever they had nothing to do. Their lives were not stable at all.

However, the current Loong family was very small, and the forces that attacked them were huge. The Loong family didn't dare to offend them. If one day, the Loong family would really be destroyed. In that case, the Loong family wouldn't have any say in this matter. What exactly should they do?

Just as Patriarch Loong was struggling in his heart, Ninth Duke saw that Patriarch Loong didn't speak. He couldn't help but frown. He turned around and looked at Patriarch Loong. He found that Patriarch Loong seemed to be lost in thought.

"Hey, Patriarch Loong, wake up." Ninth Duke was a little curious and tentatively called out to Patriarch Loong.

After Patriarch Loong heard Ninth Duke's voice, he recovered from his internal struggle. He looked a little embarrassed. He smiled at Ninth Duke and said, "Ninth Duke, I don't know what you want me to do. I haven't been feeling well recently, so I was a little distracted."

After listening to Patriarch Loong's words, Ninth Duke thought for a while and agreed. After all, Patriarch Loong was still very weak. It was normal for him to be distracted like this.

Ninth Duke smiled and said to Patriarch Loong, "If that's the case, then... Patriarch Loong should be resting more. You need to take care of yourself now. "I will be staying in Loong family for a while. "I will have my butler bring all the things I need here. The Loong family will only be responsible for preparing a room for me."

This... this isn't good. In any case, You are Ninth Duke from the Imperial Family. If I neglect you... I can't afford to be blamed by the royal family. Besides, I can't bear it any longer in my heart. Patriarch Loong has tried his best to persuade Ninth Duke not to stay in the Loong family. After Loong Xue returned, the Long family became very lively.

Before Patriarch Loong could finish his sentence, Ninth Duke waved his hand and said," Nothing. I have made up my mind. If Loong Xue doesn't marry me, I will stay in the Loong family from now on. So, I will ask my butler to bring more things over."

After Patriarch Loong heard what Ninth Duke said, he sighed in his heart. He frowned and said to Ninth Duke, "Your Royal Highness, there is a saying in ancient times, 'A melon that is twisted by force is not sweet'. There are some things that cannot be forced. If Loong Xue really does not agree, Your Royal Highness, wouldn't you have wasted your efforts?"

After listening to Patriarch Loong's words, Ninth Duke's face revealed a cold smile. He said to Patriarch Loong," Actually, this matter is very simple. As long as you agree to this matter, all the problems will be solved. Isn't that right, father-in-law? "

After Patriarch Loong heard this, he frowned. He felt somewhat unhappy in his heart. This was an obvious threat, but for a moment, Patriarch Loong did not think of any way to reject Ninth Duke. If he said that he did not agree, then he would definitely fly into a rage. If that was the case, the Loong family would be in an even more dangerous situation.

If he agreed, then Ninth Duke would have more reason to entangle Loong Xue. Furthermore, wouldn't his image as a father be greatly discounted in Loong Xue's heart? After all, she was very concerned about him. If she could not consider things from her perspective, then there was no point in being a father anymore.

Thinking of this, a fire burned in Patriarch Loong's heart. Moreover, Ninth Duke was still looking at Patriarch Loong at this moment. This made Patriarch Loong somewhat anxious. He really could not think of a way. In addition, due to the fire, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of reverse heart blood. His face turned pale.

When Ninth Duke saw this scene, he was stunned. He had never thought that Patriarch Loong's body was so weak. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to live much longer.

Thinking about it, Ninth Duke thought that if Patriarch Loong gave up his position, all the troubles would be solved. After all, apart from the Fourth Elder, the other three elders in Loong family had already been dealt with by Ninth Duke. They all agreed to marry Loong Xue to Ninth Duke as his concubine.

After that, they asked Ninth Duke to start contacting the imperial family. This way, they could help the Loong family develop better. At that time, the Loong family would have to rely on a big tree to survive.

Therefore, this matter was almost stuck on Patriarch Loong. As long as Patriarch Loong nodded his head, or as long as Loong Aotian announced his abdication, all the problems would be solved.

Patriarch Loong's face was pale and his eyes were blurry. He looked slightly weak as he cupped his hands towards Ninth Duke and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, but my body is really useless. I still need to recuperate for a period of time. Today's matter... Let's stop here for now and wait for another day when my body is fine. "Alright."

After saying that, without waiting for Ninth Duke to speak, Patriarch Loong called two guards over and helped him up. Then, he walked towards his bedroom.

Ninth Duke looked at Patriarch Loong's background and squinted his eyes. There was a fierce look in his eyes. He snorted coldly and said to himself, "Patriarch Loong, I am determined to get this. I want to see how long you can drag this out."

After saying that, Ninth Duke turned around and left the living room. He asked a guard of the Loong family who was next to him about the Great Elder's residence and then led his men to the Great Elder's residence.

When they arrived at the Great Elder's residence, the Great Elder, Long Kun, warmly welcomed Ninth Duke. Ninth Duke also presented the precious gift that he had brought with him, which made the Great Elder, Long Kun, see it. His eyes immediately lit up, and his heart was filled with joy.

The two of them clasped their hands and came to the Great Elder, Long Kun's place. In the living room, Long Kun even took out the top quality tea that he had kept for many years for Ninth Duke to taste.

After some small talk, the conversation between the two got to the main topic. Ninth Duke showed a very distressed look and deliberately let Great Elder Long Kun see it. He had already thought of an excuse in his heart.
