A wise man stops rumors (3)

"Acting patriarch, there has been a rumor in the family recently. I wonder if you know about it?" An elder asked after a long while.

"Since it's just a rumor, it doesn't matter if it's clear or not!" Ning Yuan said calmly, obviously not taking it seriously.

"Acting patriarch, how can it not be related? Your position is about to be replaced by someone else, aren't you worried at all?" The nineteenth elder roared in disbelief.

"Nineteenth elder! Don't make things sound like they're just rumors. If your clansmen find out about this, have you thought about the consequences?" Ning Yuan's face sank and he said unhappily. No one would be willing to hear such words, but the nineteenth elder spoke as if it was the truth. How could he not be angry?
