The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

This was really strange.

One had to know that the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan leader was very unyielding and arrogant. Not to mention humans, even the surrounding elders and juniors were as obedient as quails in front of him.

She had dealt with the other party before.

To put it nicely, he was a man of his word and was extremely proud.

To put it bluntly, he was self-important and cared a lot about his reputation.

But at this moment, such a person is actually… not angry after being disrespected by Tuan Zi? Not only is he not angry, but he also seems to be thinking about how to make Tuan Zi happy? Chu Liuyue quietly sized up Yi Zhao and almost laughed out loud when she saw his nervous clenched hands and tense smile.

"Then…" Yi Zhao held it in for a long time before finally speaking.

But just as he said a word, Tuan Zi said crisply, "Since there's nothing else, I'll go back first?"

Yi Zhao's remaining words were stuck in his throat.

Everyone held their breaths. Tuan Zi is too arrogant! The last person who dared to be so rude to the clan leader has long died. She… will probably be punished!

But just as everyone was waiting to see how Yi Zhao would punish her, he coughed and said slowly, "Then… Go then…"

"Thank you, Clan Leader!" Tuan Zi thanked him and hurriedly turned around before running back to Chu Liuyue.The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . Firᴇ

Everyone was stunned. He just… just let it go?! The clan leader actually has no intention of punishing her at all?

Yi Zhao was thinking about something else.

When Tuan Zi faced him just now, her face was cold. But as soon as she turned around, a big smile bloomed on her lips.

It was obvious that her smile was only for Shangguan Yue.

Looking at the bouncing little figure, Yi Zhao actually felt very upset. Logically speaking, now that Tuan Zi has transformed into a human and has already opened its fourth meridian, its feelings for the clan should've deepened. But… From the look on her face just now, it's obvious that she is still brooding over what has happened.

At this moment, he was more or less regretful. My attitude and methods toward Shangguan Yue and Tuan Zi back then seemed to be too unyielding… If we had sat down and talked nicely from the beginning, Tuan Zi wouldn't be so resistant to us now. However, it is too late to understand this now.

…

"A'Yue!" Tuan Zi ran back and grabbed Chu Liuyue's hand.

Chu Liuyue held her chubby and soft hand, but her eyes were still on Yi Zhao as she smiled. "Clan Leader Yi Zhao, consider the bet… my win, right?"

Yi Zhao came back to his senses and looked at her with a complicated gaze.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew it was the truth. The woman in front of her had indeed helped Tuan Zi transform into human form in a month.

She even opened the fourth meridian for Tuan Zi.

Under everyone's watch, it was absolutely true.

He had to admit to what she had done no matter what.

Seeing Tuan Zi leaning against her dependently, Yi Zhao could not help but sigh. "You win. I… admit defeat. There's no need to break the contract between you and Tuan Zi. If Tuan Zi wants to follow you in the future, then… let her be."

Yi Zhao spoke word by word, his voice seemingly deeper than usual.

These words were like thunder that exploded in everyone's ears!

Almost instantly, everyone widened their eyes in shock and gazed at Yi Zhao in disbelief.

Apart from Yi Zhao and the five elders, the rest of the people didn't know about this bet. Therefore, when they heard this, their reactions were naturally huge. Hasn't the clan leader always hated the human race? Now, he actually agreed to let Tuan Zi follow Shangguan Yue in the future without breaking the contract?!

This…

Only Elder Yi Gong seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up. "Clan Leader—"

When Elder Yi Shang heard this, he finally couldn't help but speak. He frowned slightly with worry. How can this matter be settled?! Tuan Zi has the purest bloodline, and she directly opened her fourth meridian today! With such talent, she is destined to be the best choice as the young mistress! If she still maintains the contract with Shangguan Yue, how can she sit in the position of young mistress?

When they set up the bet previously… On the one hand, they didn't expect the purest bloodline to be so powerful. On the other hand, they didn't expect Shangguan Yue to really do it!

Now…

Tuan Zi had successfully transformed into a human and opened her fourth meridian. It could be said that nobody in the younger generation could compare to her. However, she wanted to continue following Shangguan Yue!

To them, the losses were too great!

Yi Zhao frowned slightly, his eyes dark. "My clan honors their promises. We will never go back on our words."

"Clan Leader is right." Elder Yi Gong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. "Back then, the clan leader personally proposed this bet. If we forget it now because the other party won, wouldn't it be… too embarrassing? If word gets out, where will our red-gold heavenly phoenix clan put our face?"

Elder Yi Shang glanced at him coldly. Does he see hope, which is why he comes out to make trouble again? As expected, he did not give up!

Elder Yi Gong did not care about his disdain. He was in a very good mood now!

Originally, when he saw that Tuan Zi had successfully opened the fourth meridian, he also thought that the position of young mistress would definitely be hers. But when Shangguan Yue mentioned the bet, he remembered that it was precisely because Tuan Zi had succeeded that she wasn't qualified to take over!

My previous worries and despair were really a waste of feelings! It is impossible for the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan to accept a bloodline that has contracted with the human race as the young mistress! Thinking of this, Yi Gong's gaze turned slightly, and he glanced at Yi Ran.

Disappointment and disdain flashed across his eyes. There is no turning back. To think that I had spent so many years nurturing him. In the end, he was actually useless.

From now on, Yi Ran is basically useless. It seems that I have to find another person… However, the most important thing now is to delay the selection of the young master.

"Clan Leader, too many things have happened today. I think… we won't choose the young master for the time being, right? Why don't we wait for a while and everyone to calm down? Then, we can prepare to come back in the future. Or, we might as well wait for the next ancestral ceremony before—"

Elder Yi Shang said in a low voice, "The ancestral ceremony happens once a hundred years. Moreover, everyone in the clan has put in a lot of effort for today's young master selection. How can we postpone it just like that?"

Elder Yi Gong smiled indifferently. "What else? In this situation, Yi Shang, do you think we can continue?"

"You—"

"There's no need to continue." Yi Zhao suddenly spoke, interrupting their argument.

The corners of Elder Yi Gong's lips curled up slightly. "Clan Leader is wise."

However, Yi Zhao's next words froze his proud expression. "Because I already have the best candidate."
