"Our old ancestor really had good foresight. With Great Elder making the decisions, I can already picture the Lan family's glorious future."

The Great Elder's face did not change at all when faced with their admiration-filled voices. After all, at his age, he has experienced a lot of people sucking up to him. He was now completely immune to it, not like some youngsters who would grow proud and arrogant from a bit of praise.

"Alright, let's adjourn. I need to prepare for what's to come next."

The Great Elder slowly rose to his feet, placed his hands behind his back and walked out of the meeting hall's door.

He did not give anyone the opportunity to speak before he disappeared from their gaze...

...

The Medicine Manor.

The Beast King surveyed the entire Medicine Manor curiously. However, when he saw the demonic man who had come out to greet them from the Medicine Manor, a wave of wariness rose from within. The Beast King understandably put that man into his danger list.

This man is very powerful, he looks to be almost on par with Lord Qianbei Ye. However, Gu Ruoyun is Lord Qianbei Ye's woman. This man has tagged along by her side so he obviously has treacherous intentions!

No, Lord Qianbei Ye is rushing here now. Before he arrives, I must uphold the Mistress' safety and not give this man any opportunity!

Zixie seems to sense the Beast King's stare as his purple eyes glared back at him coldly.

Simply with that one glance, the Beast King could feel a chill running down his back. He could not help but shiver and pulled his head back.

"Where did this little tiger come from?"

On this mainland right now, perhaps Zixie was the only one who would dare to call the Tiger King 1 of Nemesis Forest, whose very name would terrify everyone, a little tiger.

However, when the Beast King sensed the sharp demonic air from Zixie's body, he did not say another word and could only shrink his head even lower.

So be it. It's my fault for being weak. I'll let Lord Qianbei Ye handle this love rival!

There's no need for me to entice bitterness upon myself.

Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders before turning Zixie and smiling gently. "He had tagged along on his own."

Zixie raised his brows but did not say anything more. A cold light appeared in his purple eyes as he turned towards the Beast King and gave him a warning look before quickly turning away.

"Since you've returned, go have a look at the formation I've created over the past few days." Zixie's handsome features displayed a gentle smile when he turned towards Gu Ruoyun. "You won't have to worry about the members of First City causing trouble for you. Even those who have reached the Martial Saint rank can't enter this place!"

At that point, he paused for a moment before he continued to speak, "I've also created an extra path in the formation. Once it's night time, the path in the formation will open. No stranger can enter Medicine Manor but for the sake of convenience, that formation will close on its own once dawn arrives."

Even though Gu Ruoyun was not limited by the formation, there are others in the Medicine Manor as well. Hence, this was why Zixie had made it so that the second path in the formation would close on its own at daybreak! Nevertheless, the formation which prevents Martial Saints from entering the area would always remain shut.

Gu Ruoyun smiled. This guy is as cautious as always.

"Zixie, thank you. I can be at ease with you around."

"Little girl, is there any need for words of thanks between us? If you really want to thank me, you can promise me your body," smiled Zixie as he spoke ambiguously. "Besides, a demibeast human's talents are far more powerful than a regular human. If we unite, our children will most certainly become the most outstanding people on the entire mainland."
