Although he had extremely high status in the family and held great power, there were some things that were the bottom line that even he wouldn\'t dare to touch easily.

Yi Zhao glanced at him indifferently. "You also know that there can\'t be any mistakes during the ancestral ceremony. You have to be extremely careful. You seem to have been staying at Phoenix Mountain for the past few days, right? In that case, it\'s inevitable that you\'ll have some thoughts…"

"A delay is better than some slip-up when the time comes."

Many eyes were on them.

Elder Yi Gong\'s face turned green and white, and he was very embarrassed. Yi Zhao\'s words make sense, but in front of so many people, he really didn\'t give me any face. Besides, this Isn\'t the first time I have prepared for the ancestral ceremony in so many years as the First Elder. Nothing has ever happened in the past. Why would I suddenly die this time just because I stayed in Phoenix Valley for two more days?

His mind raced. Then, he glanced at Yi Zhao and suddenly felt suspicious. Why does it feel like the clan leader wants to delay the ancestral ceremony?

Elder Yi Gong retracted his gaze and calmed himself down. "Clan Leader, there\'s no need to worry. I\'ll definitely personally supervise the rest of the time to ensure that nothing goes wrong. If anything really happens, I\'m willing to bear all the responsibility."

This meant that he had made a military pledge.

Yi Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly. "Since you say so… I\'ll believe you this time."

Elder Yi Gong was stunned. Why… did he agree directly instead of stalling for time?

He looked up quickly, but unfortunately, he couldn\'t tell anything from Yi Zhao\'s face.

He could only suppress his doubts.

"Alright. Go down and prepare." Yi Zhao waved his hand.

Elder Yi Gong lowered his head and responded. "Yes."

…

The Sky-Cloud Empire.

Silence filled Tongshen Palace.

Rong Xiu\'s question made Respected Elder Yu Jing panic. After a while, his back was drenched in sweat.

His clothes were sticky, cold, and uncomfortable.

"It\'s… it\'s because…" Respected Elder Yu Jing hesitated, but he couldn\'t come up with a reason.

He felt Rong Xiu\'s gaze fall on him, as sharp and cold as an ice blade!

Right at this moment, a low and deep voice suddenly sounded. "When something happened to the clan leader, the first person to enter was Yu Jing. Isn\'t it normal for the clan leader to have his scent?"

It was Respected Elder Tong Chuan who spoke.

Hearing this, Respected Elder Yu Jing\'s thoughts suddenly broadened!

He sat bolt upright. "Yes! Yes! At that time, I had something to discuss with the clan leader, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response. I was worried, so I forced the door open. After entering, I saw that the clan leader was already unconscious, so I took his pulse and transferred some force into him… That\'s all."

He looked away. "I forgot about this just now…"

Nobody knew if he had really forgotten.

It was up to Rong Xiu whether he believed it or not.

"Really?" Rong Xiu sat at the head of the hall, tapping the armrest with one hand. His eyes were deep and unreadable, and nobody could tell what he was thinking.

Respected Elder Tong Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Respected Elder Yu Jing has always been close to the clan leader. When he saw that something had happened to the clan leader, he was too worried to do anything else. Actually, I have some thoughts about the clan leader\'s sudden coma."

Rong Xiu looked up.

Respected Elder Tong Chuan suddenly looked worried and let out a long sigh. "Actually… I thought that the clan leader had suffered a blow in Fangzhou and was depressed. That\'s why he locked himself in his residence after he returned and refused to see anyone."

"Since Your Highness has already checked the clan leader\'s physical condition, you should know that he\'s not injured inside or outside. Perhaps… his sudden coma has something to do with his mood."

It was silent.

The incident in Fangzhou City that day had already spread like wildfire. Now, almost the entire God Residence Realm knew about it.

The clan leader of the Sky-Cloud Empire, Baili Chun, had brought Jiang Zhiyuan up since she was young. Clan Leader Baili looked after her carefully and doted on her. Unexpectedly, in the end, she wasn\'t his biological granddaughter.

This matter had already become a laughing matter for everyone. Nobody could accept it, let alone Baili Chun, who had always cared about his reputation.

Respected Elder Tong Chuan looked up at Rong Xiu. "Your Highness, family scandals can\'t be made public. You were really a little impulsive that day."

After the commotion in Fangzhou City, Baili Chun had almost lost all his face. It would probably be difficult for him to appear in front of the God Residence Realm\'s people in the future.

If they could come back and talk about it in private, perhaps the clan leader wouldn\'t be like this.

Rong Xiu smiled lazily. "Respected Elder Tong Chuan, do you mean… that everything is my fault?"

"That\'s not what I meant." Respected Elder Tong Chuan said, "I just feel that there should\'ve been a better way to deal with what happened that day…"

"The clan leader knew that there were many troubles at Ling Xiao Academy, but he still brought Jiang Zhiyuan there. Moreover, after the many crimes Jiang Zhiyuan committed were exposed, he was still very biased toward her. I didn\'t want to get involved in all of this at that time. However, the clan leader only helped Jiang Zhiyuan, and I couldn\'t persuade him no matter what. In the end, things developed to that extent, and I didn\'t want to see it happen." Rong Xiu interrupted Tong Chuan and smiled at him again, but there was coldness in his eyes.

"Do you think I wanted to embarrass myself in front of the God Residence Realm\'s experts?!"

Respected Elder Tong Chuan choked. Of course, I can\'t admit that. But… If it wasn\'t premeditated, why would Rong Xiu have arranged for someone to replace Jiang Hetian and completely take the Jiang family under his command? He had clearly planned everything!

Respected Elder Tong Chuan even felt that Rong Xiu had long known about the matter between Baili Chun and Jiang Zhiyuan.

As for losing face…

At most, Rong Xiu would lose face, but the one who was really humiliated was still Baili Chun!

Rong Xiu looked around. "Everyone, are you here with the same thoughts?"

His voice was soft and faint, but it was like a heavy stone that weighed down everyone\'s hearts.

Respected Elder Tong Chuan hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, you\'ve misunderstood… I just think that that matter might have dealt a huge blow to the clan leader, so… Of course, there might be other possibilities—"

"Of course, there are other possibilities." Rong Xiu said calmly, "The clan leader has just left seclusion, and his strength has increased greatly. Even if he\'s depressed, it shouldn\'t be like this. Instead of investigating, you\'re all here waiting to question me…"

His thin scarlet lips curved slightly. "You guys are getting bolder."
