The Clan Leader fell silent. He understood the fire spiritual beast clan's current situation. It would not be a terrible idea if they were to follow this woman.
"Can you give us a guarantee that you won't force the fire spiritual beast clan to do anything? Can you assure us that you would not limit the fire spiritual beasts' freedom and that you won't force the fire spiritual beast clan to shield you from danger?"
The Clan Leader's eyes stared at Gu Ruoyun as his elderly voice slowly rang out.
Gu Ruoyun smiled serenely. "Your freedom is your own and no one has the right to put a limit on it! However, if you wish to pledge your loyalty to me, you must follow my orders unconditionally! However, I will never use you as pointless sacrifices nor will I treat you as a project. The only thing I'm asking is that when I give the order, you must trust me and listen to me! If you can do that, I can guarantee the fire spiritual beast clan's sudden ascent in the spiritual beast kingdom!"
The Clan Leader's expression slowly sank, no one could tell what he was thinking. However, he soon raised his head and stared at Gu Ruoyun's delicate and pretty features before saying, "Alright, I will give you my word."
"I still have some things to attend to so I will be leaving for now. I'll leave Huo'er here for the time being. Once I return, I will help to raise everyone in the fire spiritual beast clan's power to the Martial Saint rank!" Gu Ruoyun's voice was as calm as the wind and showed no signs of emotion despite being accepted by the fire spiritual beast clan.
Her clear and cold eyes had remained aloof the entire time, as mysterious as the night.
"Understood." The Clan Leader smiled. "The fire spiritual beast clan shall await here to welcome your return."
Gu Ruoyun gently curled her lips and turned around without another word before her figure disappeared from the ancestral hall.
"Huo'er, you can leave now."
The Clan Elder slowly shut his eyes and calmly explained, "I'd like to continue my cultivation."
"Yes, Clan Leader."
Huo'er's heart has long blossomed with happiness. If the fire spiritual beast clan really does follow his Master, he would not have to worry about the treacherous ways of other humans! Besides, one should not let one's own fertile water flow into another's field. He had to make the decision for his Master's sake.
Once Huo'er left, the old man, who had been meditating in the clan hall, slowly opened his eyes and exclaimed with reverence. "My King, she's gone now."
As soon as he had spoken, a flash of bright red robes appeared in the once quiet clan hall.
The man was dressed in red robes and had silver hair which fluttered against the gentle breeze. Nothing more beautiful could be imagined.
His gaze had traced the path of the woman's departure the entire time and his eyes were filled with warmth and longing.
"My King, I have followed your instructions and gifted the fire spiritual beast clan into her hands," the Clan Leader said reverently.
It probably never crossed Gu Ruoyun's mind that she had been able to tame the fire spiritual beast clan so smoothly because of the machinations of this man behind her.
"Mm."
Qianbei Ye's eyes continued to gaze at the receding figure outside the window and only muttered a soft reply. He did not concern himself with the Clan Leader at all. The corners of his lips were curled into a small angle yet it was so indescribably beautiful and striking, enough to beguile people out of the righteous path.
"My King, do you not wish to meet her?" The Clan Leader glanced at the man in front of him and asked cautiously, terrified that his words would anger the man.
The man gently lowered his eyelids. His voice was not as gloomy as it once was. Instead, it was filled with a sense of gentleness.
"I will find her once my wounds have healed."
He does not want to make her worry so he had hidden behind her. Once his wounds were completely healed, he would step out and pull the woman whom he dearly misses into his arms.
