The ancestral ceremony was held only once every 100 years and was one of the most important events of the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan. How could he dare to postpone the ancestral ceremony because of him?

Clan Leader, dont worry. Ive already made most of the necessary preparations. I wont delay the ceremony As Elder Yi Gong spoke, his voice trembled.

Although he had extremely high status in the family and held great power, there were some things that were the bottom line that even he wouldnt dare to touch easily.

Yi Zhao glanced at him indifferently. You also know that there cant be any mistakes during the ancestral ceremony. You have to be extremely careful. You seem to have been staying at Phoenix Mountain for the past few days, right? In that case, its inevitable that youll have some thoughts

A delay is better than some slip-up when the time comes.

Many eyes were on them.

Elder Yi Gongs face turned green and white, and he was very embarra.s.sed.

Yi Zhaos words make sense, but in front of so many people, he really didnt give me any face. Besides, this Isnt the first time I have prepared for the ancestral ceremony in so many years as the First Elder. Nothing has ever happened in the past. Why would I suddenly die this time just because I stayed in Phoenix Valley for two more days?

His mind raced. Then, he glanced at Yi Zhao and suddenly felt suspicious.

Why does it feel like the clan leader wants to delay the ancestral ceremony?

Elder Yi Gong retracted his gaze and calmed himself down. Clan Leader, theres no need to worry. Ill definitely personally supervise the rest of the time to ensure that nothing goes wrong. If anything really happens, Im willing to bear all the responsibility.

This meant that he had made a military pledge.

Yi Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly. Since you say so Ill believe you this time.

Elder Yi Gong was stunned.

Why did he agree directly instead of stalling for time?

He looked up quickly, but unfortunately, he couldnt tell anything from Yi Zhaos face.

He could only suppress his doubts.

Alright. Go down and prepare. Yi Zhao waved his hand.

Elder Yi Gong lowered his head and responded. Yes.

The Sky-Cloud Empire.

Silence filled Tongshen Palace.

Rong Xius question made Respected Elder Yu Jing panic. After a while, his back was drenched in sweat.

His clothes were sticky, cold, and uncomfortable.

Its its because Respected Elder Yu Jing hesitated, but he couldnt come up with a reason.

He felt Rong Xius gaze fall on him, as sharp and cold as an ice blade!

Right at this moment, a low and deep voice suddenly sounded. When something happened to the clan leader, the first person to enter was Yu Jing. Isnt it normal for the clan leader to have his scent?

It was Respected Elder Tong Chuan who spoke.

Hearing this, Respected Elder Yu Jings thoughts suddenly broadened!

He sat bolt upright. Yes! Yes! At that time, I had something to discuss with the clan leader, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response. I was worried, so I forced the door open. After entering, I saw that the clan leader was already unconscious, so I took his pulse and transferred some force into him Thats all.

He looked away. I forgot about this just now

n.o.body knew if he had really forgotten.

It was up to Rong Xiu whether he believed it or not.

Really? Rong Xiu sat at the head of the hall, tapping the armrest with one hand. His eyes were deep and unreadable, and n.o.body could tell what he was thinking.

Respected Elder Tong Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, Respected Elder Yu Jing has always been close to the clan leader. When he saw that something had happened to the clan leader, he was too worried to do anything else. Actually, I have some thoughts about the clan leaders sudden coma.

Rong Xiu looked up.

Respected Elder Tong Chuan suddenly looked worried and let out a long sigh. Actually I thought that the clan leader had suffered a blow in Fangzhou and was depressed. Thats why he locked himself in his residence after he returned and refused to see anyone.

Since Your Highness has already checked the clan leaders physical condition, you should know that hes not injured inside or outside. Perhaps his sudden coma has something to do with his mood.

It was silent.

The incident in Fangzhou City that day had already spread like wildfire. Now, almost the entire G.o.d Residence Realm knew about it.

The clan leader of the Sky-Cloud Empire, Baili Chun, had brought Jiang Zhiyuan up since she was young. Clan Leader Baili looked after her carefully and doted on her. Unexpectedly, in the end, she wasnt his biological granddaughter.

This matter had already become a laughing matter for everyone. n.o.body could accept it, let alone Baili Chun, who had always cared about his reputation.

Respected Elder Tong Chuan looked up at Rong Xiu. Your Highness, family scandals cant be made public. You were really a little impulsive that day.

After the commotion in Fangzhou City, Baili Chun had almost lost all his face. It would probably be difficult for him to appear in front of the G.o.d Residence Realms people in the future.

If they could come back and talk about it in private, perhaps the clan leader wouldnt be like this.

Rong Xiu smiled lazily. Respected Elder Tong Chuan, do you mean that everything is my fault?

Thats not what I meant. Respected Elder Tong Chuan said, I just feel that there shouldve been a better way to deal with what happened that day

The clan leader knew that there were many troubles at Ling Xiao Academy, but he still brought Jiang Zhiyuan there. Moreover, after the many crimes Jiang Zhiyuan committed were exposed, he was still very biased toward her. I didnt want to get involved in all of this at that time. However, the clan leader only helped Jiang Zhiyuan, and I couldnt persuade him no matter what. In the end, things developed to that extent, and I didnt want to see it happen. Rong Xiu interrupted Tong Chuan and smiled at him again, but there was coldness in his eyes.

Do you think I wanted to embarra.s.s myself in front of the G.o.d Residence Realms experts?!

Respected Elder Tong Chuan choked.

Of course, I cant admit that. But If it wasnt premeditated, why would Rong Xiu have arranged for someone to replace Jiang Hetian and completely take the Jiang family under his command? He had clearly planned everything!

Respected Elder Tong Chuan even felt that Rong Xiu had long known about the matter between Baili Chun and Jiang Zhiyuan.

As for losing face

At most, Rong Xiu would lose face, but the one who was really humiliated was still Baili Chun!

Rong Xiu looked around. Everyone, are you here with the same thoughts?

His voice was soft and faint, but it was like a heavy stone that weighed down everyones hearts.

Respected Elder Tong Chuan hurriedly explained, Your Highness, youve misunderstood I just think that that matter might have dealt a huge blow to the clan leader, so Of course, there might be other possibilities

Of course, there are other possibilities. Rong Xiu said calmly, The clan leader has just left seclusion, and his strength has increased greatly. Even if hes depressed, it shouldnt be like this. Instead of investigating, youre all here waiting to question me

His thin scarlet lips curved slightly. You guys are getting bolder.
