Chapter 2209 - 2209: The Zhuo Family’s Destruction 3
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Upon hearing Gu Chaoyan’s words, Madame Zhuo felt a surge of anxiety wash over her. She hailed from no sect herself, but in the grand tapestry of the Shenyou Dynasty, it was customary for n.o.ble families and dynasties to send their progeny to esteemed sects like the Supreme Sect. Those fortunate enough to gain acceptance into such sects always maintained a strong connection, even when circ.u.mstances took them away from their family clans. They never failed to mention their sect.
The distinction between outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples within the Supreme Sect was common knowledge throughout the Shenyou Dynasty.
Inner sect disciples enjoyed the privileges of sect members.h.i.+p, with access to a wealth of knowledge beyond the reach of their outer sect counterparts. Furthermore, they held prestigious positions within the sect hierarchy.
If Madame Zhuo truly harbored intentions, her path to influence was un.o.bstructed.
Unbeknownst to the Zhuo Family, the woman before them, a member of the Yan Family, had ascended to the coveted status of an inner disciple within the Supreme Sect.
Manipulating matters concerning the Zhuo Family would be a straightforward task for her.
Fear had taken hold of Madame Zhuo. She dreaded the possibility of a calculated vendetta by Gu Chaoyan that could undermine the flouris.h.i.+ng Zhuo Family. This concern prompted her to invoke the rules of the Supreme Sect in front of all, attempting to salvage some dignity for the Zhuo Family while
offering a gentle reminder.
Yet, her efforts were in vain…
She wasn’t issuing a threat to Gu Chaoyan, who had already resolved her course of action.
With a calm gaze, Gu Chaoyan responded, “The rules of the Supreme Sect? Your qualifications to remind me are insufficient, and I’m more well-versed in them than you are.”
Indeed.
Inner sect disciples of the Supreme Sect were barred from interfering with the examination.
However…
Gu Chaoyan had never harbored intentions of meddling with the examination itself.
Her plan was far more sinister: to ensure that everyone from the Zhuo Family met their demise alongside Yan Wuji!
Yan Wuji’s unfortunate encounter in Xuhai City had been no accident; Zhuo Yuanbai’s sinister and cunning nature was evident in the shadow cast over those events.
While Zhuo Yuanbai had already met his demise, Gu Chaoyan harbored no intention of sparing the Zhuo Family. What purpose would their preservation serve? To potentially perpetuate a legacy of trouble for the Yan Family for generations to come?
Her objective was clear: to eliminate the root of the issue.
Zhuo Yuanming’s qualifications did not meet the standards required for partic.i.p.ation in the examination. The connection to the rules of the Supreme
Sect was tenuous at best.
Gu Chaoyan raised her gaze to meet Madame Zhuo’s eyes.
Then, without another word, she took her seat as directed by Madame Yan.
Madame Zhuo remained in a state of disarray, left without any solace from those around her.
The accolades and praises flowed freely toward the Yan Family. They now possessed inner sect disciples, a fact that commanded respect and even fear. Many had children at the Supreme Sect, yet they remained as outer sect disciples for years. The Yan Family’s rapid ascent in such a short time testified to its extraordinary nature. It was evident which held greater significance and which did not.
The Zhuo Family, it seemed, had brought their troubles upon themselves.
Meanwhile, the Yan Family’s resurgence was on the horizon.
A collective sigh of realization swept through the onlookers.
Times had undeniably changed.
Madame Yan beamed with pride.
The transformation of the Yan Family had taken everyone by surprise.
Madame Yan’s immense pride became too much for Madame Zhuo to bear. She had contemplated reaching out to Zhuo Yuanbai to gain insights into the current situation concerning him and Yuan Ming.
However, leaving prematurely would have been impolite. So, she persevered, feigning composure in an increasingly uncomfortable environment.
Fortunately, the banquet concluded swiftly.
Madame Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and made her hasty exit..
