Chapter 2291: True Intentions Revealed
The three clan masters turned pale with fright when they heard that. The Yun Clan Master said gravely, “I fear that the Fiend Emperor and the Second Empress might not be happy if they hear what the regent has just said, right? Furthermore, the King Court’s elders might not acknowledge your words either.”
“You can ask whether or not they acknowledge these words yourself. But I think none of them would be opposed to my decision,” Zu An said calmly. “Why don’t you tell me about what's going on with you now? Where is that True Demon? Why are you gathering the Four Symbols Stones?”
The Wu and Rong Clan Masters were frightened. They both looked toward the Yun Clan Master.
The Yun Clan Master’s face darkened. “Your respected self used to be a mere human. Due to coincidence and opportunity, you were able to ascend to the position of regent. You should be grateful to the new Fiend Emperor and the Second Empress, and yet you’re acting so arrogant and despotic right now and not treating them with any respect; it's as if you don't even treat the entire King Court with any importance. Are you planning treason?”
Suolun Shi couldn't help but retort, “What kind of nonsense are you speaking? It's clearly what you're doing that counts as treason!”
“Hah, I was wondering why this niece was so stubborn! So it was because you were bewitched by this human. You must’ve lost your wits after seeing how handsome he was, making you lead the Suolun clan down this incorrect path,” the Yun Clan Master said with a sneer.
Suolun Shi’s entire body shook. “What kind of nonsense are you saying? I didn’t!”
“Oh? Would you dare to make a vow in the name of the Demon Deity? Say that you aren’t attracted to him, and that you don’t like him?”
“I…” Suolun Shi was now at a loss. Her face became entirely red. How was she supposed to make such a vow? She did have a mysterious good impression toward big brother Zu, but it wasn’t because of him that the Suolun clan made this choice. But the worst part was that she couldn't really explain those things.
