Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 921: The Right

“I hereby announce, from this moment one, Gong Suo Xin will be the Clan Leader of the Wang Clan. She will be responsible for all matters of this Clan!”

Those words silenced the entire place.

The elder in black exhaled deeply. There was helplessness in his eyes and also blame. The way he looked at Ling Xian was particularly full of killer’s intent.

As for the elders who were on the side of the current Clan Leader, they were all sighing while shaking their heads. They now know that their time is up. After Gong Suo Xin becomes the new Clan Leader, they will lose all their rights and they will have to slave.

That was talking about it lightly. If Gong Suo Xin wants to avenge for the past, then they might suddenly die one day.

Therefore, these people were all looking dead in the face and full of sadness, as if they were seeing their dark future.

Gong Suo Xin on the other hand, was full of joy. She looked at Ling Xian tenderly, then she walked over to the elder in white – the highest level within this palace.

Then, she slowly turned around. The alluring smile disappeared from her face. What replaced it was divinity. The divinity that’s normally exuded by Gods.

She was the manager of the Liu Yun Pavilion and she never lacked divinity. She merely treats people with all smiles. Today, she was the Wang Clan Leader, which has granted her with another crown that increased her powerfulness.

At this, everyone sighed before lowering their heads.

They now know that from this moment on, Gong Suo Xin would be the new commander of the Wang Clan!

She also has the elder in white who will support her. She is not just a puppet leader, she is truly a ruler with a full set of rights!

“I am now finally sitting on the Clan Leader seat.”

Gong Suo Xin clenched her fists and she smiled somewhat sarcastically and somewhat coldly. Her face was full of authority.

She glanced over everyone. The killer’s intent in her eyes never lessened. On the contrary, they grew heavier. Especially when her gaze landed on the elder in black, the bone-deep hatred could not be concealed.

But when her gaze reached Ling Xian, all her killer’s intent disappeared. Gentleness and tenderness replaced it.

Everyone silently exclaimed and expressed their jealousy towards Ling Xian. What Gong Suo Xin said next, made everyone even more envious.

“Since I am the new ruler of the Wang Clan, my first order is to allow Ling Xian to enter the Lake of the Resting Soul for a month.”

Gong Suo Xin’s expression was calm and her words were even softer. To everyone, however, her words were like thunder on a sunny day. They were dumbfounded!

What a joke!

The Lake of the Resting Soul was the highest holy place of the Wang Clan. Even the fifth level cultivators have no right to stay in there for a month!

Yet Gong Suo Xin’s first order as the Clan Leader is to allow Ling Xian to stay in for a month. Why wouldn’t they be surprised?

Then, all words of rejection arose. The elder in black, in particular, said an endless amount of words about how that was unacceptable.

He was of the fifth level and once the strongest man in the Wang Clan. Even he, himself, never received the right to stay at the lake for a month. Yet Ling Xian this outsider just gained the right. Why wouldn’t he reject this?

“No?”

Gong Suo Xin blew the bangs out of her face and turned to look at the elder in white, “Third grandpa, someone is disobeying my order.”

Hearing this, third grandpa faintly smiled and forced out the elders who were the loudest in expressing their displeasure.

BANG!

After a muffled noise, four to five elders were all slammed outwards and lying on the ground, they all began puking blood.

At once, everyone shuddered and no longer dared to speak more. Even the fifth leveled cultivator in black shut his lips.

“Very well.”

The elder in white smiled in satisfaction, “The Clan Leader doesn’t allow any disagreements. Whoever doesn’t want to obey can be dealt with by me.”

Everyone shuddered again at those words. Fear was all over their eyes.

This second, they finally clearly realized that the Wang Clan Leader is now Gong Suo Xin. They really no longer have the right to do whatever they want.

Then, they began to feel extremely jealous. Jealous over the fact that Ling Xian gained the right to the Lake of the Resting Soul for a whole month!

Remember that the lake is one of the five soul healing places. It has great benefits for one’s soul. A month? Countless cultivators fight for even one day there!

Even these high positioned elders were drooling longingly as they dreamt of entering the Lake of the Resting Soul.

Sadly, jealousy doesn’t get them anywhere.

When Gong Suo Xin was endangered, they chose to hide behind the elder in black and treated her like a lost cause. Ling Xian was the one who stepped up and helped her get onto the Clan Leader seat!

He deserved to enjoy this kind of treatment!

“The Lake of the Resting Soul… I cannot believe she still remembers…”

Ling Xian silently grinned, knowing that Gong Suo Xin remembered how back then, he had asked her about the Lake of the Resting Soul. Now that she is a Clan Leader, she can finally allow him to enter the Lake righteously.

A shot of warmth filled his heart. He felt like helping Gong Suo Xin was not a waste. However, even if she didn’t repay him in this way, he still would’ve helped her.

Because her feelings for him run deep!

“Very well. Since nobody else is objecting, then it’s settled.”

Gong Suo Xin acted like a Goddess sitting above all nine levels of heaven. She glanced over everyone like she was at a higher position.

Other than Ling Xian, who had a faint smile on his face, everyone else was silent and looked away from her.

“Very well. All elders will now follow me to the ancestor’s shrine for the new Clan Leader ceremony.”

Gong Suo Xin was cool in the face and light on her feet as she walked over to the shrine. Every step she took enhanced the divinity she possessed. She truly was like a real Goddess.

As she walked by Ling Xian, she suddenly smiled brightly. All flowers suddenly darkened in color and the moon lost its shine.

“Find someone random to take you to the Lake of the Resting Soul. After I am done here, I will go find you.”

Gong Suo Xin said in a low voice by Ling Xian’s ear. Then, she took the opportunity to kiss him in the cheek – lightly like a dragonfly damping its feet in water.

This stunned Ling Xian. When he regained himself, she had already walked out, leaving behind a bell-like laughter that echoed throughout the palace.

“This women…”

Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He felt the leftover scent and warmth from his left cheek and he couldn’t help but to mumble, “This seems like… to be the first time I’ve been kissed.”

Then, he shook his head and shifted his gaze to Huang Jiu Ge. He saw a sullen-looking pair of eyes.

“Eh…”

Ling Xian was a little startled. Then, he waved his hand at a young man who was swollen in the face, “Do you know where the Lake of the Resting Soul is?”

“I… I do.”

The young man stuttered. Fear was all over his face.

He was part of the first batch to be defeated by Ling Xian. Right now, he was overpowered with fear and he could barely stand up since he was quivering so much.

“Very well.”

Ling Xian’s lips curled and he teased, “Lead the way. Or else you know what will happen to you.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Follow me.” The young man shuddered and quickly smiled.

He just watched how Gong Suo Xin treated Ling Xian. Ignoring his terrifying capability, his status in this Clan was now something he cannot object to.

Therefore, he stuffed his own face with smiles and led the way.

Ling Xian’s eyes flashed with anticipation. He followed along with Huang Jiu Ge.
