"That's enough. Stop!"
Just when the battle between Bai Xun 'er and Bai Chuanxiu was about to break out, the Winged Clan's ancestor suddenly spoke.
"Chairman!"
Bai Chuanxiu looked at the Winged Clan's ancestor unwillingly and slowly closed her half-opened eye.
"Hmph!"
Bai Xun 'er snorted coldly, unwilling to give up.
"Come back, Xun 'er," Ding Yu called out softly.
Xun 'er's vertical eye returned to normal in an instant. She turned around and walked to his side with a sweet smile.
"You're no match for her. Do you have to make a fool of yourself in front of everyone?"
The Winged Clan's ancestor was very protective of Bai Chuanxiu, his loyal ally. He glared at her and controlled his voice to a range that only the higher-ups around him could hear clearly.
"How is it possible that I'm no match for her …"
Bai Chuanxiu screamed with a flushed face like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Chuanxiu, stop fooling around. The chairman is right. You're no match for her."
You Ye frowned and said with a bitter smile.
"You Ye, even you're helping them to bully me?"
Bai Chuanxiu's towering chest rose and fell rapidly as she glared fiercely at You Ye with a wronged expression.
Everyone's expression became a little strange. Bai Chuanxiu's tone was like a coquettish man. It seemed that the relationship between these two was a little thought-provoking.
You Ye blushed and coughed uncomfortably. He said in a low voice, "Think about it carefully. Why did the chairman judge that you're no match for her before you even fought?"
Bai Chuanxiu saw that his expression was serious and did not seem to be joking. She frowned and carefully recalled.
"Faster, faster!"
You Ye reminded her in a low voice when he saw that she did not understand even after a long time.
Bai Chuanxiu's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered a detail that she had neglected in her rage.
It took time for the Medusa Clan to open their vertical eye and launch the decomposition ray. This time varied according to the talent of each clan member. Those with poor talent would even need half a minute to open their vertical eye, while those with good talent would need a few seconds. Although this time could be shortened through hard training, even she, the leader of the clan, would need nearly two seconds to open her vertical eye.
But what about Bai Xun 'er? She opened her vertical eye about half a second later than her, but when the Winged Clan's ancestor called for her to stop, the degree of their vertical eye was almost the same.
What did this mean? This meant that Bai Xun 'er's vertical pupil was much faster than hers, and she would be able to fire the ray before her. Once the Medusa Clan's decomposition ray was fired, it would ignore defense. As long as it hit the target, it would definitely cause damage.
Even if her cultivation was higher than Bai Xun 'er, she would still be heavily injured. Thus, the Chairman's judgment that she wasn't a match for Bai Xun' er wasn't wrong at all.
Understanding this point, Bai Chuanxiu glanced at Bai Xun 'er with a complicated gaze, before lowering her head like a deflated balloon. Her mind was in a mess. Perhaps Bai Xun' er was right, she was indeed not fit to be the leader of the Medusa Tribe.
"Chuan Xiu, don't think too much about it. Bai Xun 'er's talent isn't something ordinary people can compare to. You've already done very well. Besides, she's already married, so she's no longer qualified to be the Patriarch. You don't have to worry."
You Ye had been silently in love with Bai Chuanxiu for many years, but he had never dared to confess his feelings to her. Seeing her sad appearance, he immediately felt a pang of heartache and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to comfort her.
"You Ye, am I being too selfish? Back then, I watched as the main bloodline was in trouble, yet I chose to stand by and watch for the benefit of the branch bloodline. That's why Bai Xun 'er hates me so much. "
Bai Chuanxiu asked with a perplexed look.
"Everyone's position is different, so the choices they make will also be different. From the perspective of most people, your choice back then was not wrong at all. You took into account the overall situation and preserved the strength of the Medusa Tribe. Bai Xun 'er looked at the problem from the perspective of the main bloodline, so of course she would feel that you're wrong."
You Ye comforted her with a gentle voice transmission.
"Actually, I also thought of taking action back then, but I retreated at the last moment. I'm not as great as you say, and I don't have any thoughts of taking into account the overall situation. I'm a very selfish person. At that time, I felt that even if my bloodline took action, it wouldn't be able to change anything, and would even implicate my bloodline along with the main bloodline. Thus, I turned a blind eye and secretly accumulated my strength, waiting to make a comeback."
Bai Chuanxiu, who had always been tough, showed a rare moment of weakness.
"Chuanxiu, don't think so much. Regardless of whether you did it out of selfishness or for the public, it's not your fault. If you had lent a helping hand back then, the outcome would have been even worse, and the Medusa Tribe wouldn't be in such a situation today."
You Ye comforted her softly.
From his perspective, Bai Chuanxiu's choice back then was not wrong, and it was very rational. After all, the main bloodline had already been targeted, and if the branch bloodline were to take action, it would only cause the entire Medusa Tribe to suffer the fate of extinction. Thus, the branch bloodline chose to hide and secretly accumulate strength, waiting to make a comeback.
There was no so-called right or wrong in this matter. It was just that their standpoints were different, and the way they looked at things and dealt with problems was also different.
However, fate made a fool of people. Unexpectedly, the main bloodline did not perish, and successfully escaped to the Great Wilderness to recuperate. This made Bai Chuanxiu's situation awkward. It was reasonable and wise to preserve the flame, but in the eyes of the main bloodline, she was cold-blooded and despicable. Thus, they hated her to the bone.
It would be better if the main bloodline did not have anyone who could shoulder the burden. At most, they would just say some unpleasant words, and it would pass after a long time.
However, the main bloodline had Bai Xun 'er, a talented monstrous genius. Coupled with her special identity as Ding Ning's wife, their hostile attitude towards Bai Chuanxiu had affected the harmony of the entire Medusa Tribe. The friction between the main bloodline and the branch bloodline was endless, giving Bai Chuanxiu a headache.
Bai Chuanxiu disheartenedly denied herself. "Perhaps Bai Xun 'er is right. I am indeed not worthy to be the leader of the tribe. I lack the courage and boldness to cut off all means of retreat. I'm also tired after all these years. After today, I'll find an outstanding tribesman to take over the position of the tribe leader."
"Chuanxiu, don't be silly. You've endured for so many years. It's not wise to give up now."
You Ye was shocked and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to dissuade her. Why did they cut off all means of retreat and bet the lives of all their tribesmen on the Winged Tribe? Wasn't it so that they could one day stand at the peak of the Myriad Demon Territory and wield great power in the world?
Now that they had finally achieved their goal, Bai Chuanxiu chose to retreat after suffering a little setback. In his opinion, it was too stupid.
"I'm tired. I want to find a shoulder to lean on. You Ye, are you willing to lend me your shoulder for the rest of your life?"
Bai Chuanxiu's pale face blushed. She lowered her eyes and said shyly.
"I … I …"
You Ye's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Following that, a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart. His mouth was dry, and he was tongue-tied. He stuttered for a long time, unable to say a word.
"Am I that unlikeable? Even you aren't willing to have me. "
Bai Chuanxiu suddenly became nervous. Her heart thumped wildly. Although she knew that You Ye had always been secretly in love with her, she still subconsciously felt nervous when things came to a head. She was afraid that You Ye would reject her. If that happened, she would really have no face to see others in the future.
"I … I'm willing. Of course I'm willing."
You Ye's mind went blank from this unexpected ecstasy. Just as Bai Chuanxiu's expression became more and more gloomy, he suddenly came to his senses and shouted excitedly.
"Chairman You, what are you willing to do?"
The two were originally communicating telepathically. In his excitement, You Ye forgot to transmit telepathically and shouted directly. This shocked everyone present. A councilman patted his chest exaggeratedly and asked curiously.
"I … Nothing … Hehe …"
You Ye finally reacted. He laughed foolishly and said perfunctorily.
"Nothing? Why did you shout so loudly? You gave me a fright. "
Niu Yue glared at You Ye and said unhappily.
You Ye was not angry. He only cared about laughing foolishly. His idiotic expression made everyone wonder if his brain was broken.
Bai Chuanxiu covered her face. She felt so embarrassed. Why did they choose such an idiot after so long?
The patriarch of the Wing People glanced meaningfully at the two of them and said indifferently, "I agree with the chief's suggestion."
Ding Ning was slightly surprised, but he was still very happy. He cupped his fists and bowed. "Thank you for your support, Patriarch."
"I also agree."
"I second it!"
"I second it!"
"I second it!"
…
As soon as the patriarch of the Wing People expressed his opinion, most councilmen followed suit in the blink of an eye. Only a dozen councilmen who followed the Peacock Clan did not say anything. They looked at Kong Xuan and waited for him to make a decision.
"Of course, I support my grandson-in-law's suggestion."
Kong Xuan smiled at Kong Lei in an ingratiating manner. He did his granddaughter a favor. Since most of the councilmen had agreed, he could not change the overall situation even if he voted against it. He might as well do her a favor at little cost.
Kong Lei snorted coldly and turned her head. She did not appreciate his kindness at all. This old thing was cunning. He only agreed when he saw that the situation was hopeless. How could she appreciate his kindness?
Kong Xuan nodded. The dozen councilmen also expressed their agreement. There were eight chairmen and thirty-six councilmen. In the blink of an eye, only You Ye and Bai Chuanxiu did not agree. However, their opinions were no longer important.
"I agree!"
Bai Chuanxiu suddenly said. Although her votes were meaningless, it was also her attitude.
"I also agree!"
You Ye's long-cherished wish of many years was about to be realized. He did not care about anything else. He looked at Bai Chuanxiu and smiled foolishly. Even if Bai Chuanxiu asked him to resign from the position of clan leader, he would not hesitate to agree.
Ding Ning was a little surprised, but he was still very happy about the change in their attitudes. After all, the unanimous approval meant that everyone had reached a consensus on this matter. The next implementation would not be too perfunctory.
"But …"
Kong Xuan secretly regretted. If he knew that the patriarch of the Wing People would agree, he would have expressed his opinion earlier and done them a favor at little cost.
Now, not only was he in trouble, but his granddaughter did not appreciate his kindness. He rolled his eyes and decided to do her another favor, lest his granddaughter looked down on him.
"But what?"
Ding Ning frowned slightly. He was very tired of this old fellow. He did not know what kind of tricks he was going to play.
"Although everyone has reached a consensus on this matter, in fact, everyone is very clear that it is not so easy to implement," Kong Xuan said with fervor and assurance.
Kong Xuan said with fervor and assurance, "Think about it, this kind of … uh, abusive behavior mostly happens at home. If no one reports it, it will be very difficult for us to discover it. This is a problem. Moreover, we will be stationed in the Demon Territory. The nine outer territories are usually managed by their respective lords. If we rashly interfere with their management areas, they will also be dissatisfied. This is another problem. Therefore, we have to think of a foolproof plan."
"You are right, Chairman Kong. I have also considered this and specially prepared some plans. Lang Kui."
Ding Ning was secretly happy. He was worried about how to take out the things he had prepared, but this old fellow gave him a good way out. He immediately asked Lang Kui to bring the things he had prepared.
