Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 217 - 14: Sky Pit (14)

The Third Elder, who also possessed the strength of the Fifth Rank, furiously grabbed the confidant of Li Minglun and rushed over to him.

Li Minglun was still giving a lecture, but he was surprised to see the Third Elder storm in with Li An in tow.

Li Minglun’s heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to dismiss everyone else, but the Third Elder exploded with anger.

"Li Minglun, why did you send your confidant to capture Mengdie and even used Enchanting Fragrance on her? What is your intention?"

The Li Family members in the room were in an uproar. What does this mean?

The Clan Leader sent someone to capture Mengdie, but why?

Li Minglun’s expression was unpleasant, yet he forced a smile: "Isn’t there some misunderstanding? I watched Mengdie grow up, how could I capture her? And capturing Mengdie would be useless to me."

Li Mengdie suddenly spoke up: "In the afternoon, the Clan Leader wanted me to go to the Gao Family, asking me to deliver a box to Young Master Gao, but I have been focused on cultivation and didn’t want to go."

The Third Elder raised an eyebrow: "Oh, I wonder if the Clan Leader could bring out the box for me to see. What’s inside that requires Mengdie to deliver it? And if not delivered, why resort to knocking on her door to sedate her?"

"Third Elder, there are some things you’re not aware of, alright, everyone else can leave, it’s just a misunderstanding. I will explain it clearly to the Third Elder."

But the Third Elder laughed: "Minglun, you’ve been the Clan Leader for many years, and all the Li Family knows what you’ve done. Why, is my Mengdie going to be fobbed off like our dear niece Shuning? If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’ll bring out the other elders."

Li Minglun still tried to appease him: "Third Elder, I truly did not plan to capture Mengdie. How about we ask Li An why he wanted to capture Mengdie?"

Originally, Li Minglun intended to privately say something to cover it up, but the Third Elder didn’t play along, so he could only shift the blame.

Li Minglun smiled and looked at Li An.

Li An felt distressed, but he understood Li Minglun’s meaning; he had to take the blame, or else...

Thinking of Li Minglun’s methods, Li An took a deep breath: "Third Elder, I wanted to capture Miss Mengdie myself. The Clan Leader had no other intention; he thought Miss Mengdie could go out, maybe even make friends with Young Master Gao, but Miss Mengdie flatly refused."

"The Clan Leader is immensely kind to me, yet Miss Mengdie wouldn’t even give him face, so I felt angry and wanted to teach her a lesson. I didn’t intend to do anything, just wanted to sedate her and take her out to the garden to sleep for a night. This mistake is mine, and the Third Elder can punish me as he sees fit, but please don’t involve the innocent." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The Third Elder was infuriated, pointing at Li An with a trembling finger. He knew Li An was lying; he couldn’t be serious about drugging Li Mengdie out of anger, could he?

She was his only daughter, how could a Third Rank branch disciple like him have the audacity?

He couldn’t believe it without someone behind him.

Li Shuning, hidden in the background, shook her head. The Third Elder probably wasn’t aware of Li Minglun’s actions.

Moreover, the commotion he caused might not lead to any real outcome this time.

Should she fan the flames a bit more?

Li Shuning pondered that and found a corner to release the hovercar, turning on its invisibility feature before boarding.

Then, Li Shuning activated the hovercar’s projection feature.

All she needed to do was play the desired content, and images would appear out of thin air in the sky.

This was actually the hovercar’s projection feature.

Li Shuning played the recording of the day with Li Tong and Young Master Gao.

The Gao Family steward had already left Jiang City to avoid suspicion, and given Li Minglun’s attempt to knock out Li Mengdie, he probably intended to send her directly, so Li Shuning wasn’t afraid of the Gao Family finding out and retaliating with annihilation.

The moment the recording played, there was sound, and the people in the room heard noise and came out to see.

When they saw what was happening in the images, many people’s faces changed.

They didn’t know what those patterns and symbols meant, but Li Tong’s state clearly wasn’t right.

Li Tong was sent out by the Clan Leader back then, so if Mengdie was sent today, would her fate be the same as Li Tong’s?

The tribe members started to recall that every few years, the Li Family would have a female disciple send something to the Gao Family, only to end up dead in the Sky Pit.

The Third Elder was also stunned; he hadn’t expected to see such things.

Thinking about it, the Third Elder suddenly took out his phone and made a call.

He felt the matter wasn’t simple and decided to call out the other elders to handle it.

Li Minglun wasn’t foolish either; he realized he had been set up.

But who had such capability, to record in the Gao Family and also know he wanted to knock out Li Mengdie?

Li Minglun’s face turned pale, but recalling certain things, he calmed down, sending someone to destroy the images appearing in the night sky. However, even if someone went up to cover it, the images would reappear in another spot.

Who could have such ability?

Not long after, the other elders showed up, including the Great Elder.

Li Shuning, from her vantage point in the hovercar, scanned the area with her spiritual power and noticed the Great Elder had the strength of the Sixth Rank, yet his power was somewhat unstable; in a fight, he might not even be her match.

The Second Elder was Fifth Rank, the Third Elder Fifth Rank, and the rest of the elders had peak Fourth Rank strength.

Being summoned by the Third Elder, the other elders were somewhat puzzled.

But upon seeing the looping images, the Great Elder’s eyes flickered as he asked: "Old Three, why did you call us out here?"

"Big Brother, today I demand an explanation from the Clan Leader. What does he mean? Every few years, the clan sends someone to the Gao Family, but they never return. In past years, Shuning’s mother was also sent out, and later both her parents died under mysterious circumstances. And then this Li Tong, also dead. Today, the Clan Leader wanted Mengdie to go to the Gao Family, but Mengdie refused, and someone tried to knock her out. You must all understand what’s happening. I want Li Minglun to clearly explain himself."

Li Shuning watched the elders and noticed while the others looked shocked, the Great Elder and the Second Elder seemed to have different intentions.

The Great Elder glanced around and coldly said: "Everyone else, leave for now. This matter seems unusual. Why are there these videos? Let’s not fall for other clans’ schemes. Stay put quietly, we will handle this."

After the Great Elder’s remarks, the other Li Family members withdrew, leaving only the Third Elder, Li Mengdie, the remaining elders, Li Minglun, and Li An.

Li Shuning pondered and then turned off the video.

The Great Elder, who was thinking of how to remove the video, was momentarily surprised and looked around but found nothing amiss.

"Alright, Old Three, let’s discuss inside. This matter might not be as simple as you think."
