“The Anicca Race won’t retaliate against you because of your father, but the entire True Martial Race won’t spare you. Ziluo is my daughter. You’re useless and don’t deserve her. That’s why you called off the engagement. Understand this and don’t show ingratitude,” the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race roared angrily.
Observing the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but sense that Kang Shi was under immense pressure.
Transitioning from a prodigious youth to a cultivator making no progress was already a significant burden. Now, he endured daily malicious scrutiny from these individuals.
Though he behaved appropriately and didn’t overstep, it seemed everyone expected him to act malevolently.
As for the daughter of the True Martial Race’s Clan Leader, she seemed eager to criticize him like a toad eyeing a swan.
Were these people truly not delusional?
Having already broken off the engagement, Gu Chaoyan had no intention of getting entangled further.
With an amused expression, she addressed the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race, “The Clan Leader of the True Martial Race is truly amusing. I’ve done nothing untoward. As a member of the Anicca Tribe, I came here to celebrate. I ate, drank, and remained silent. Yet, you all came here to issue warnings.”
“Ziluo isn’t some coveted elixir; she’s just a woman with her own preferences. She’ll marry someone else, and I, Kang Shi, won’t dare to claim her,” Gu Chaoyan declared.
“You!” The Clan Leader of True Martial Race seethed, tempted to attack.
Glancing at them, Gu Chaoyan added, “He who is down need fear no fall. If you don’t want everything to proceed smoothly today, then I, Kang Shi, am ready to keep you company!”
The Clan Leader of True Martial Race suppressed his anger. “Just you wait. I’ll teach you a lesson.”
There was no need. He truly saw no reason to diminish his standing at this juncture.
Currently, the First Elder nearly had control over the Anicca Race. The imminent change of leadership would usher in the First Elder’s dominion. In such a scenario, wouldn’t it be a trivial matter to deal with a couple of individuals from the Anicca Race?
The Clan Leader of the True Martial Race held a dismissive view. Even if he aimed to confront the Clan Leader of the Impermanence Clan in the future, it would likely be a simple task.
The Clan Leader of the True Martial Race smiled. “I hope you can always remain so resolute.”
“Thanks for your well-wishing; I, Kang Shi, will do just that,” Gu Chaoyan replied matter-of-factly.
With a wave of his sleeves, the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race departed.
However, Gu Chaoyan behaved as if the man had never been present. What had he been doing earlier? What was he doing now?
Once the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race had completely left and his attention gradually shifted away from Kang Shi, the overseer of the medicinal field attempted to persuade, “Are you okay? Why be so obstinate with him? It would’ve blown over with a few words. After that woman gets married, you won’t have any involvement. It’s not wise to be on his bad side.”
“…”
“He wouldn’t have let me off either way,” Gu Chaoyan asserted straightforwardly.
The overseer of the medicinal field seemed visibly surprised, unsure of her rationale.
Gu Chaoyan elucidated bluntly, “I am Ziluo’s embarrassing history. As Kangyan consolidates power, rumors about me will circulate, and Kangyan will take notice. At that point, my fate won’t be a pleasant one. Since I can anticipate these consequences…”
