Chapter 252 - Apology

“The elders are here!”

Everyone hurriedly dispersed.

Although the prestige of the Elders Guild had decreased because of the traitor, every elder still had the strength of the Great Void Stage. Thus, these Saint Stage experts had no choice but to be respectful towards them.

If it were anywhere else, they might be the top experts of a realm, but in the White Dragon World, these experts were only ordinary guards.

Moreover, they had just “offended” the friend of the Divine Maiden. It was simply for the best for them that the elders appeared at this moment.

“Why are there so many people gathered here? What happened?”

This was a middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard. His figure was tall and straight, and he had a dignified aura without being angry. His eyes were pure white, just like Long Xiaoyu’s. He looked exceptionally strange.

It had to be known that only the experts of the White Dragon Race above the Great Void Stage had pure white eyes. The eyes offered them a unique ability and allowed them to see through the other party’s moves in advance. It was very powerful.

Of course, if the other party’s strength was far superior, then their pure white eyes also became useless.

“Elder, there’s a human here. He claims to be a friend of the Divine Maiden.” The Grand Saint Stage expert from before stepped forward and said.

“What? A human?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s face darkened. “Ridiculous! How could Her Highness the Divine Maiden have a human friend?!”

After saying this, the middle-aged man’s eyes moved sideways and finally fixed on Qin Jue. At the same time, he saw the jade tablet in Qin Jue’s hand.

“???”

Long Zhan’s eyes suddenly widened. He even thought that he was hallucinating.

“Isn’t… isn’t that the Divine Maiden’s identity jade tablet?”

“Yes.”

The Grand Saint Stage expert braced himself and said, “We already confirmed that.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Long Zhan fell into silence.

Not an illusion?

But the problem was, why would the identity jade tablet of the Divine Maiden appear in the hands of a human?

Could it be that the Divine Maiden was also colluding with the Martial Sacred Hall?

Long Zhan felt that it was impossible.

After all, the one who was ambushed and almost died was Long Xiaoyu herself. If she had colluded with the Martial Sacred Hall, why would she then proceed to uproot the traitors of the clan?

After all, before Long Xiaoyu brought the matter up, no one even knew that there was a traitor within the White Dragon Race.

Moreover, if the Divine Maiden was indeed colluding with the Martial Sacred Hall, the White Dragon Race would have been done for long ago.

For a moment, Long Zhan actually did not know what to do.

Due to the rules, any White Dragon Race expert who advanced to the Great Void Stage could become an elder as long as they passed inspection.

Therefore, there were also different levels of elders. A first realm Great Void Stage expert like Long Zhan could only be considered as the most basic type of elder. Therefore, Long Zhan could not afford to provoke the Divine Maiden’s friend.

What was worth mentioning was that the elder who had colluded with the Martial Sacred Hall was at the eighth realm of the Great Void Stage. Not only did he have a high status, but he also had deep seniority.

As for why such an elder had colluded with the Martial Sacred Hall, no one knew other than the patriarch.

“…”

After being silent for a moment, Long Zhan took a deep breath and said with a smile, “So you’re Her Highness the Divine Maiden’s friend. It’s all just been a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding.”

Qin Jue :”…”

Finally, someone with some brains came. Qin Jue was really afraid that the other party would act shamelessly and accuse him of stealing the identity jade tablet.

At that time, even if he did not want to kill, there would still be people rushing to their deaths.

“What are you guys waiting for? Apologize!” Long Zhan shouted.

He was not an idiot, so how could he not tell what had just happened here? Although he was unable to confirm that this youth in front of him was definitely a friend of the Divine Maiden, he could not go wrong by getting everyone to apologize first.

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions hesitant. They wondered if they really had to apologize to a human.

Although they were very unwilling, they could only bow and shout, “Sorry!” After all, the White Dragon Race’s internal hierarchy was strict and no one dared to disobey the orders of a higher-up.

Long Qing especially wished he could bury his head in the ground, afraid that Qin Jue would notice him as he apologized.

The situation had developed to such an extent that it had completely exceeded Long Qing’s expectations. He only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

…

Qin Jue :”…”

Qin Jue wondered why it felt a little awkward.

“Alright, disperse. You guys have nothing to do here anymore,” Long Zhan said unquestionably.

“Yes.”

Everyone looked at each other again and immediately flew in different directions. No one even cared about their two companions who were lying on the ground.

“Cough cough, this… Senior, are you here to find Her Highness the Divine Maiden?”

After a pause, Long Zhan continued, “I’m sorry, Her Highness the Divine Maiden is not around for the time being. You…”

Before he could finish, Qin Jue interrupted with a wave of his hand. “Yes, I already know. It’s alright. I can wait a few days.”

He still hadn’t decided on which white dragon he wanted as his mount, so how could he leave now?

However, at the moment, Long Xiaoyu still seemed to be the most suitable choice.

Not only was her talent top-notch, but her true body was also very beautiful. If she hadn’t been White Dragon Race’s divine maiden, Qin Jue would have considered it.

“Uh… okay.”

Long Zhan was helpless. “Senior, please follow me.”

Therefore, Qin Jue went from following Long Ao to following Long Zhan.

Finally, under Long Zhan’s arrangements, Qin Jue was moved to an exquisite courtyard to live in. Inside, birds sang and flowers bloomed and there were mountains and rivers. It was simply not inferior to a small world.

As expected of one of the most powerful factions in the void. Even the place used to entertain guests was so luxurious. It was hard to imagine what the core area of the White Dragon World was like.

“Senior, because most of our White Dragon Race experts despise humans, we hope that Senior won’t go out casually before Her Highness the Divine Maiden returns.” After hesitating for a moment, Long Zhan warned.

“No problem.”

However, if Qin Jue wanted to leave, how could they possibly detect him?

Hearing this, Long Zhan heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you for your cooperation, Senior. In addition, if there’s anything, you can activate this jade slip. I’ll rush over as soon as possible.”

As he spoke, Long Zhan took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Jue.

“Mm.”

Nodding his head, Qin Jue accepted the jade slip and turned to enter the courtyard.

Only when the door to the courtyard closed did Long Zhan retract his gaze. Then, his eyes flickered as he flew up and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

…

“What did you say? There was a human who had possession of the jade tablet of the Divine Maiden and claimed to be her friend?”

In the main hall, an old man frowned slightly with a gloomy expression.

“That’s right.”

Long Zhan nodded and said, “I can’t tell that human’s cultivation, but that jade tablet indeed has the aura of Her Highness the Divine Maiden.”

“Strange, why does the Divine Maiden have human friends…”

The old man pondered for a moment before saying, “Send someone to keep an eye on him. We’ll know everything when Her Highness the Divine Maiden returns.”

Although the old man didn’t know why Qin Jue had Long Xiaoyu’s identity jade tablet, at this moment, he was sure that Long Xiaoyu should be by the Patriarch’s side. No matter how strong Qin Jue was, it was impossible for him to snatch Long Xiaoyu’s identity jade tablet in front of the Patriarch, right?

It was precisely because of this that the old man did not rashly attack.

In any case, he would know what was going on when Long Xiaoyu returned.

During this time, they only needed to monitor Qin Jue closely and not let him act rashly.

“Yes!”

Long Zhan obeyed and left.
