Chapter 2508: Demon Clan 40
Editor: Henyee Translations
The First Elder couldn’t suppress a chuckle.
Having witnessed the Clan Leader’s growth from a young age until now, he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was like a child he had nurtured. Despite his position as an Elder and her as the Clan Leader, there was a unique bond that made him view her almost like his own offspring.
From her spirited youth to her present state, the Clan Leader had always displayed an innate aptitude for cultivation. Even in her early years, no one in the Demon Clan could rival her, making her naturally headstrong and willful. It seemed as though she was destined for this role, born to lead and command.
Demon Clan members, by nature, were accommodating. As long as the Clan Leader was in charge, they considered it a satisfactory arrangement. The Clan Leader took care of them, and that was all that mattered.
Now…
The First Elder experienced a distinct sentiment.
It felt akin to witnessing his own child maturing. Beyond the natural assertiveness, the Clan Leader had learned to appreciate and express gratitude.
It was a positive development.
Individuals possessing such qualities tended to have promising futures.
In this moment, the First Elder sensed the Clan Leader embarking on a path filled with hope.
This time…
The Clan Leader seemed poised to ascend to great heights.
The First Elder felt a sense of contentment.
Hearing the First Elder’s remarks, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Initially apprehensive of the First Elder, Gu Chaoyan now found the stark contrast in his demeanor truly striking. The First Elder’s reminiscence felt more like a genuine elder recalling a person’s childhood.
The sensation was undeniably unique.
Gu Chaoyan’s expression softened, resembling someone reminiscing about her own past.
“When you were young, you were very mischievous. You pulled the First Elder’s beard and played pranks on the Dao Child of the Demon Clan. You engaged in all sorts of mischief! Back then, it was actually quite enjoyable. At least you were carefree. As time went on, you matured a bit and started becoming more reserved.”
“You desired the attractive appearance of the Human Clan, so you worked hard to achieve it.”
“Later on, you aspired to be the foremost in the Second World. The First Elder was overjoyed. It was truly wonderful to see you harbor such ambitions. But as time passed, your aspirations grew, and that’s when I began to worry. Little did I expect my concerns to become a reality.”
“Clan Leader, it’s wonderful that you’ve returned. The current state of the Demon Clan is remarkable. Just don’t let anything befall you,” the First Elder spoke, his eyes reflecting some tears, likely reminiscing about the thousand years she had been absent.
The First Elder discreetly wiped his tears, then chuckled. “Look at me. The Demon Clan is thriving now. Why dwell on the past?”
“There’s much to prepare for the Demon Clan’s banquet. I’ll go make the arrangements. Clan Leader, rest well.”
“Alright,” Gu Chaoyan replied with a smile as she watched the First Elder depart.
Simultaneously, her heart warmed toward the First Elder.
Although the Demon Clan might appear as a realm shrouded in darkness and devoid of human emotions, in reality, everyone here shared a profound bond.
Attempting to reflect on such a deep connection, she realized that she could not recall anything specific.
The memories of the First Elder’s recounted mischievous acts in his youth eluded her.
Feng Le remained an elusive figure in her mind.
Much of her past seemed lost to her.
Gu Chaoyan even contemplated that…
