1738 Can We Leave?
There was dead silence!
Suddenly, a sharp voice cut through the stiff and cold atmosphere. “Impossible! There must be something fishy going on!”
Rong Xiu glanced sideways with a calm gaze. “Elder Miao Yao, you’re not in good health, so don’t be so agitated, alright? If you accidentally faint, whose fault will it be?”
Miao Yao was furious.
He could tell that these two people were both sharp-tongued! If he spoke to them more, he might die of anger!
Miao Yao took a deep breath and finally realized something—he was no match against the two of them in a verbal battle! Hence, he stopped pestering Rong Xiu and turned to look at Miao Yang. “Clan Leader, others might not know, but you know best! That jade disk is a treasure of our clan. Once it shatters, it’s impossible to repair it in an hour! Rong Xiu must’ve used some trick to restore it to its original state on the surface! You must not be fooled by him!”
In a seemingly smiling manner, Chu Liuyue said, “Oh? Elder Miao Yao, you mean… Clan Leader Miao Yang is deliberately making things difficult for us by raising this condition?”
Miao Yao was speechless. “You!”
“Enough!” Miao Yang stood up, his voice finally tinged with anger.
He frowned and glanced at Miao Yao. “I’ll personally check if it’s real or fake. There’s no need for you to worry, Elder Miao Yao.”
I really don’t know what is wrong with Miao Yao! Ever since he returned in defeat because of Shangguan Yue last time, he seems to have become impulsive and angry. He is incompetent and spoils everything!
Miao Yao also felt as if he had been possessed. As long as the two of them were involved, it seemed like he would become irrational and even make mistakes one after another.
My situation in the clan is already difficult enough. If this continues… I doubt if I can continue to stay in the clan! His face was pale, and he swallowed the rest of his words with an embarrassed expression.
…
Miao Yang glanced at Rong Xiu. “May I take a look at it?”
Rong Xiu nodded. “Of course.”
He casually tossed it over.
The jade disk flew toward Miao Yang.
Miao Yang received the item and glanced at Rong Xiu.
The young man was dressed in a snowy robe. His figure was as straight as a pine tree, and his expression was calm.
He looks very confident… Miao Yang frowned. Then, he looked down at the jade disk in his hand and examined it carefully.
This was a treasure of their clan. As the clan leader, he was naturally most familiar with it.
The scene fell silent again. Everyone was focused on Miao Yang, waiting for his conclusion.
Actually, most people didn’t believe it. They were about the same as Miao Yao; they all felt that Rong Xiu must’ve used some special method to make it look exactly the same as before.
Rong Xiu did not seem to care about this. He handed the skeleton to Chu Liuyue and smiled. “Thank you, Yue’er.”
Chu Liuyue took it and smiled, her eyes flickering with a fine, bright light. Actually, other than providing this skeleton, I haven’t helped him much. At the end of the day, Rong Xiu is still powerful enough. If it were someone else, it would probably be difficult to do this.
After a while, Miao Yang looked up at Rong Xiu with a complicated gaze.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
“The clan leader doesn’t look too good. I think there’s most likely something wrong with that thing!”
“It’s all within expectations. From beginning to end, Rong Xiu only used half the time! It’s impossible to completely repair that jade disk in such a short period of time!”
“I want to see if they can still be so calm later…”
Low murmurs rose from both sides.
Rong Xiu didn’t seem to hear this. He smiled at Miao Yang and asked, “Clan Leader Miao Yang, how is it?”
His voice was low and pleasant, with its own quiet power.
Miao Yang was silent for a long moment before saying, “This jade disk… has indeed returned to its original state.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked!
The huge square instantly fell silent!
Almost everyone’s expressions froze on their faces, not knowing how to react for a moment. The clan leader said that… it has indeed returned to its original state!? Doesn’t that mean that Rong Xiu only used half the time to complete our request?!
That’s not right! How exactly did he do it?!
Rong Xiu’s smile deepened slightly. “It’s indeed not easy to do this. Fortunately, Yue’er has the skeleton of a great phoenix dragon. With the help of the great phoenix dragon’s bloodline power, repairing the jade disk naturally became much easier.”
This jade disk belonged to them to begin with. What else was more suitable for repairing this than their bloodline power?
“In short, I’ve only transferred the bloodline power in this skeleton to the jade disk. This shouldn’t be considered an offense to you, right?” Rong Xiu raised his brows.
He had said from the beginning that he wouldn’t damage the skeleton at all. Now, it could be said that he meant what he said.
His words silenced everyone because these words… didn’t sound wrong.
Initially, they thought that if Rong Xiu did something wrong, they could use this against him. However, what he had done this time was indeed benevolent, and they had no place to attack him!
Nobody could find a reason to scold him!
…
Miao Yang was also actually filled with anger. Although this jade disk has been perfectly repaired, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for the two of them! Who knew that Rong Xiu could actually repair it?!
Miao Yang felt as if he had punched cotton and was extremely aggrieved, but he had excellent self-restraint. Even though his emotions were surging, his face remained calm.
He sighed softly. “The Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace… is indeed as powerful as the rumors say. No—it should be said that the outside world still underestimates you.”
Although this child is young, he is meticulous. They have been here for so long, but I can’t guess Rong Xiu’s thoughts at all. Moreover, I vaguely feel that Rong Xiu should have other trump cards. This person… is probably not easy to deal with!
Rong Xiu happily accepted Miao Yang’s insincere praise. “You flatter me. Actually, I just want to reduce today’s matter to a small matter. We damaged this jade disk, so it’s only right to repair it and compensate for it.”
He paused. “Since this jade disk has been repaired, and we’ve already apologized previously, then… Yue’er and I can leave now, right?”
Miao Yang narrowed his eyes.
The two of them stared at each other.
In an instant, lightning flashed! The two sides exchanged blows silently!
Miao Yang handed the jade disk to an elder beside him and said slowly, “I’m afraid that’s a little difficult.”
Rong Xiu’s eyebrows moved slightly, and the smile on his lips was covered in a layer of frost. “Oh?”
