Chapter 2569: Ice Flame Continent 26

How could she refrain from intervening? That would imply she, Ziluo, had no connection to the situation.
In the realm of cultivation, enhancing one’s cultivation took precedence above all else.
This time, her oversight was evident. Due to Kang s.h.i.+’s enigmatic sutra, she couldn’t offer a satisfactory explanation. It had cost her valuable time, resulting in a hasty resolution. After some time pa.s.sed, she resolved to have a comprehensive conversation with Kang s.h.i.+, ensuring clarity on the matter.
Importantly, she couldn’t afford to let this become a public spectacle. s.h.i.+elding herself from rumors was paramount, especially considering Kang Yan’s proclivity for causing trouble.
Although Ziluo contemplated her approach, she maintained a composed facade, attentively listening to Kang Yan’s instructions. Appearing obedient, she aimed to avoid further confrontation with Kang Yan, knowing it would only worsen her standing.
Satisfied with her compliance, Kang Yan decided not to press the matter further. “I’ll discuss this with Father. Focus on your cultivation or rest. Don’t meddle in affairs that don’t concern you.”
Continuing to nod, Ziluo concealed her true thoughts.
Kang Yan departed, leaving her alone.
In a rare moment of tranquility, Ziluo contemplated her next moves, plotting a more strategic approach. She was mindful of maintaining a low profile and avoiding further conflicts with Kang Yan.
Meanwhile, Kang Yan hastened to meet with the First Elder, who remained engrossed in addressing the issue. Unaware of recent clan developments, the First Elder continued his tireless efforts.
Kang Yan barged into the room, displeased, and s.n.a.t.c.hed the items from the First Elder’s hands. He placed them on the table, expressing his discontent, “Why are you still engrossed in these matters? Something significant has occurred in the clan. Why weren’t you aware?”
The First Elder, unperturbed, inquired, “Clan? What happened?” He hadn’t taken Kang Yan’s interruption seriously, a.s.suming it was merely another trivial matter.
Observing the First Elder’s lack of knowledge, Kang Yan felt a surge of anger. The future leaders.h.i.+p of the Anicca Race rested on their shoulders, yet his father seemed oblivious to crucial events.
“What else could it be? It’s about Kang s.h.i.+,” Kang Yan grumbled. “Don’t tell me you’re still unaware? Lately, that worthless Kang s.h.i.+ has garnered attention. He’s concocted some mysterious pills, deceiving the members of the clan. If Ziluo hadn’t investigated, neither of us would have known what was happening.”
Kang Yan simmered with frustration at the thought.
The entire clan concealed it from them?
They were indifferent?
The First Elder, however, did not share Kang Yan’s intense reaction. The revelation that Kang s.h.i.+ was refining pills did not elicit the same concern.
Kang s.h.i.+ was not entirely foolish.
Given his stagnant cultivation, seeking alternative paths was logical.
Yet, refining pills?
If that was the case, what warranted such worry?
“Yan’er, recall what your father has often advised you. Maintain composure when faced with challenges. Why don’t you adhere to those teachings?” The First Elder spoke calmly, sensing Kang Yan’s instability.
“When a situation arises, engage your intellect first. In the case of Kang s.h.i.+, he has crafted some pills? They are just pills. Why are you so agitated? What makes you think a person of Kang s.h.i.+’s caliber is so crucial? He may understand pill refining, but it’s not as if his cultivation is unbeatable.”
“…”
“It’s very simple if he can refine pills. Just let him refine pills for us.”
