Regarding this, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction that the Dao Child of the Demon Clan had personally taken care of the matter. His sister had always disapproved of his heavy-handed approach in the past. Now, he made a conscious effort to restrain himself, eager to claim credit.
Gu Chaoyan observed the Dao Child of the Demon Clan.
This child seemed harmless.
Yet, his words, often laced with menace, instilled a subtle fear in her.
She believed he would genuinely carry out his threats to break someone’s bones.
However, today he had exhibited mercy, and she acknowledged it.
“You handled things well today,” Gu Chaoyan commended.
A genuine, joyous smile lit up the Dao Child of the Demon Clan’s face. It mirrored the happiness of a recognized child.
Gu Chaoyan felt a twinge of guilt.
The Dao Child’s happiness wasn’t solely for her but for the Demon Clan Leader.
After the Dao Child of the Demon Clan departed, Gu Chaoyan sought refuge inside.
Undoubtedly, the Dao Child now fully acknowledged the Demon Clan Leader.
Today’s events likely gained her respect from the two Elders as well.
Indeed.
Half of today’s events stemmed from her inability to tolerate injustice, while the other half aimed to prove her ident.i.ty to the First Elder. Only with their collective belief in her true standing could she lead a secure life within the Demon Clan without constant fear.
They continued their journey without encountering any further issues.
Inside the wagon, Gu Chaoyan suddenly grasped a realization as she observed the scene outside.
The residents of Demon Clan City, when venturing out, possessed the knack for avoiding unnecessary trouble. As for those from the Demon Clan, the First Elder likely orchestrated their presence for her benefit.
Gu Chaoyan shook her head.
It was, indeed, a test.
A day elapsed.
Finally, they reached the residence of the Clan Leader of the Human Clan.
The Human Clan was in high spirits.
After all, it marked the birthday of the Clan Leader of the Human Clan.
Upon the arrival of the Demon Clan, a collective sigh echoed through the crowd.
The Demon Clan had abandoned the ancient city of the Demon Clan, relocating to the distant Demon Clan City centuries ago. Back then, the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan had vanished, bringing notoriety to the Demon Clan. Considering their present circ.u.mstances, it was widely understood that the Demon Clan had no intention of attending the birthday banquet of the Clan Leader of the Human Clan.
Unexpectedly…
Here they were.
Thus, the a.s.sembled guests sighed collectively.
“The Demon Clan has arrived!” Following the sigh, normalcy resumed.
It was, after all, the residence of the Clan Leader of the Human Clan. He was not someone unfamiliar with the ways of the world, capable of handling such situations.
However…
Human guests exchanged knowing glances.
They all pondered the reasons behind the Demon Clan’s presence.
Why were they here? Who was the individual inside that warranted the protection of the Dao Child of the Demon Clan?
The members of the Demon Clan displayed pride, lining both sides of the carriage and clearing a path for their Clan Leader.
Gu Chaoyan disembarked, trailed by the Dao Child of the Demon Clan, accompanied by the First Elder and the Elder of the Demon Clan.
The initially tranquil residence of the Human Clan Leader erupted in commotion once more.
To elicit such a reception…
Apart from the fiends, who else could it be?
“The Clan Leader of the Demon Clan has returned?” someone speculated.
“Who else could it be? It’s been a thousand years, and I remember her vividly.” Someone gazed at Gu Chaoyan and remarked, “I fear the skies of the Second World are about to undergo a change once again.”
