Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1221 - 48: Jiuluan Young Clan Leader

The Jiuluan Clan Patriarch left the inn, with two subordinates following behind him. One of them stepped forward.

"Patriarch, did you take interest in that woman just now? But she is merely a Half-Beast, and it seems she lacks any significant background," everyone could see that the Half-Beast woman had severely injured Liu Xueyu, and the vengeful Elder Liu would never let it go easily.

"What’s wrong with a Half-Beast? Don’t forget, in the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, strength is everything. If Elder Liu wants to scheme, let him. If that girl can’t even handle a mere elder from the Sky Fox Tribe, then she is too weak," the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch chuckled twice.

"But Patriarch, that woman’s sharpness is too pronounced; with such a personality, she might not be suitable as the Young Clan Chief’s wife," the Jiuluan Clan is not like the Sky Fox Tribe, which is a Lower Beast Clan.

To become the Young Clan Chief’s wife of the Jiuluan Clan, and the future wife of the Clan Leader, she must not only gain respect within the Jiuluan Tribe but also be able to deal with the other two Upper Beast Clans.

To Jiuluan Clan Patriarch’s two subordinates, that Sky Fox Half-Beast woman had offended Elder Liu even while knowing she was in the Hu Capital, which showed youthful recklessness and lack of discretion.

"Wrong, knowing when to endure is important. Do you want your future Young Clan Chief’s wife to be a coward? Besides, didn’t you see, that Half-Beast woman was quite clever too. At first, she kept a low profile, only revealing herself at the end to compete for the Sky Fox Inheritance. This is a classic case of hiding one’s strength, and I quite admire this temperament," the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch snorted and glared at his two old subordinates.

The Jiuluan Clan Patriarch wouldn’t tell his two old subordinates that, back when he was competing for the position of Clan Leader, he too initially seemed insignificant. It wasn’t until his older brothers fought amongst themselves that he seized the opportunity to shine and claim the position.

His grandson Lu, naturally gifted and with enough prestige in the clan, was spoiled from a young age and quite arrogant, needing proper guidance.

This Sky Fox Half-Beast woman seems like a good helper.

Currently, the most important thing is to figure out how to make his grandson and that seemingly defiant girl look favorably upon each other.

The Jiuluan Clan Patriarch wore a calculating expression as his two subordinates exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly before following him.

While the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch was observing his prospective granddaughter-in-law in the Hu Capital, Ya Ji and Hui Yu had already found the Young Clan Chief Lu.

Due to his grandfather’s decision to unilaterally arrange his marriage, Lu left the tribe in anger and sought temporary refuge in the Di Clan.

"Subordinates failed to complete the mission; we ask the Young Clan Chief to punish us," Ya Ji and Hui Yu knelt before Lu.

The man in front of them did not immediately speak and instead tilted his head, lost in thought.

Ya Ji slightly lifted her head, peeking at the Young Clan Chief Lu.

The Young Clan Chief of the Jiuluan Clan had always been exceptionally handsome from a young age, still somewhat juvenile a few years ago, yet his features were exquisitely crafted.

Once his heritage awakened, and after merging with part of the Nine Phoenix King Relics’ power, his features changed, shedding any remaining immaturity and embracing a captivating masculinity.

Now, Lu was like a caged bird turned soaring eagle, intimidating to behold.

"Get up, this time it’s not your fault; no one can defy grandpa’s temper," Lu rubbed his handsome brow. He had already received the news from the Jiuluan Clan that his unpredictable grandfather had rushed to the Sky Fox Tribe Country.

For this, his friend Zi had unkindly mocked him.

Needless to say, Lu knew that grandpa had likely gone to watch the Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintess selection.

Perhaps the old man will return, just as Zi mockingly suggested, with a pre-selected granddaughter-in-law.

Thinking of the Heavenly Fox Saintess, Lu naturally associated the term with an image—useless and flirtatious.

Useless referred to the previous Heavenly Fox Saintess Hu Sheng.

Although both were Young Clan Chiefs and Saintesses of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, and had been baptized in the Beast God Altar from a young age, Lu had no impression of that useless Saintess Hu Sheng at all—not even of her basic features, indicating how invisible she was.

Flirtatious, however, described Hu Linglong, who entered the Beast God Altar with her close relative Hu Sheng.

Unlike the virtually invisible Hu Sheng, Hu Linglong was far too noticeable, always appearing wherever Lu was.

Had it not been for Zi’s presence at the time, Hu Linglong would likely have been even more clingy.

It was because of Hu Linglong that Lu detested Sky Fox women so much.

Yet his grandfather somehow struck an irritating deal with the Sky Fox Clan Patriarch.

Lu felt like spitting blood, but, unable to vent before his subordinates, he simply kept his handsome face tense, appearing even more stern.

"Young Clan Chief, we have another matter to report. Actually, even if the Clan Patriarch hadn’t ordered us to return, our assassination plan would have failed midway," Ya Ji bit her lip, full of unwillingness but still reported the unexpected events to Lu.

"Your Flame Fire Bird was killed by a medical woman from the Cangdu Guard, who summoned a Subdivine Beast?" Lu raised his eyes.

Having grown up with him, Lu was well aware of Ya Ji’s capabilities.

Her skills were comparable to top fighters within the Jiuluan Tribe, so dealing with those weak Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses should have been easy for her.

Who knew she’d be defeated by a Half-Beast medical woman who hadn’t even fully evolved into fox form?

Unfortunately, Ya Ji and Hui Yu didn’t know the woman’s exact background, only that she was from Cangdu.

Cangdu, as he recalled, was just an ordinary capital in the Sky Fox Tribe Country. Could it be that a powerful Summoner was hiding in Cangdu?

"That Half-Beast medical woman must be peculiar; it’s been ages since a Subdivine-level Divine Beast appeared on the continent. However, rest assured, Young Clan Chief, next time Ya Ji encounters that woman, she will surely redeem herself," Ya Ji said through gritted teeth.

"You’ll soon have that opportunity," Lu casually replied. Ya Ji was known for holding grudges, and with a Low-class Heavenly Fox Half-Beast woman humiliating her, both Ya Ji and the Jiuluan Tribe suffered a disgrace.

"Young Clan Chief, what do you mean?" Ya Ji was startled.

"You two are coming with me to the Sky Fox Tribe Country," Lu would not let his grandfather create chaos there.

The Heavenly Fox Saintess selection... he would not let it proceed smoothly.
