Chapter 2608: Ice Flame Continent 66
He still wore a perplexed expression.
Kang Shi seemed to have undergone a transformation, evolving from his former oily self to an enigmatic figure. No one could ascertain if he was open to negotiations or what he truly intended.
This greatly irked the Clan Leader of True Martial Race.
Upon rejoining the scene, he found that the Anicca Clan members had hastily departed.
His countenance darkened.
Ziluo rushed over, observing the displeased expression on the Clan Leader of True Martial Race’s face. “Is Kang Shi here? How is he?”
“How is he?” The Clan Leader of True Martial Race snorted in discontent. “Nothing remarkable. He’s still young and has managed certain matters well. However, his arrogance knows no bounds; he even disregards my authority.”
“…”
“Don’t overthink it. Individuals like Kang Shi no longer harbor affection for you. Cooperate with other races, marry as you please, and don’t dwell on anything else.”
“…”
“Can the True Martial Race truly allow you to remain in the clan? Think about the rumors that will circulate.” The Clan Leader of True Martial Race spoke sternly, “Regarding other matters, it’s beyond your concern. I will handle the affair with the Anicca Race together with Kang Shi.”
With that, he left discontentedly, sweeping his sleeves.
Ziluo looked at her father.
“Father!” Ziluo felt aggrieved.
It was her father who had chosen Kang Yan in the first place. How could she be held responsible for the current situation?
If Kang Shi showed reluctance, he would indeed refuse to assist her.
In the end, she was not his favored daughter.
Ziluo began to create a commotion. Eventually, the Clan Leader of True Martial Race had her confined, saving himself from the hassle of her incessant chatter.
Whether or not she was truly his daughter depended on her perceived value.
Aside from causing embarrassment, Ziluo had little else to offer. What was there to make a fuss about?
Previously, her actions went unpunished because of her lingering feelings for Kang Shi. Now, it was clear that Kang Shi not only lacked any sentiments for her but also harbored disdain.
Hence, the Clan Leader had to deal with her promptly, ensuring she wouldn’t remain in the clan. If Kang Shi declined cooperation with the True Martial Race, it could jeopardize the interests of the clan, posing a significant issue.
The Clan Leader of True Martial Race had formulated new plans for Ziluo, considering her actions that had stirred turmoil in the True Martial Race.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan, who had successfully manipulated the situation, was escorting Kang Yan back to the Anicca Race.
The lack of assistance from the True Martial Race towards the First Elder was a consequence of the coveted pills. Gu Chaoyan’s earlier endeavors had proven worthwhile.
As for collaborating with the True Martial Race…
“Gao Zhuo, do you really think I would cooperate with the True Martial Race?” Kang Shi asked, sensing Gao Zhuo’s concerns.
Despite the True Martial Race’s formidable power, Kang Shi held a strong aversion towards them.
“I would rather see the Anicca Race not become more powerful, and I would never ally with a deceitful entity. Who would have thought that it would lead to my own demise?” Gu Chaoyan declared, providing Gao Zhuo with a definitive answer. “Not only will we refrain from collaboration, but if we uncover any interference by the True Martial Race in the Anicca Race’s affairs, I will personally address each member of the True Martial Race involved.”
“…”
“He colluded with the First Elder and probably did many things behind your back.”
