He realized that he couldn’t even compare to Gu Qiaoqiao.
People of the Divine Clan have always admired the strong, and at this mont, they truly seed subdued.
Moreover, their clan leader was still lying there, whether alive or dead depended entirely on Gu Junbai’s words.
Danny gritted his teeth and stood aside.
The candles were all lit, and with the addition of the flashlight’s glow, the place was as bright as day.
Gu Junbai didn’t delay, extending his index finger, a white light beam struck the female clan leader.
The seal was lifted.
The person on the bed groaned and then slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were deep blue, no different from the others.
However, her expression seed bewildered.
Her gaze was unfocused, as if she couldn’t quite comprehend what was happening in front of her.
The elder clan mbers were sowhat excited, their fingers trembling, this was their clan leader, as long as she was back, the Black Angels clan would no longer be in disarray.
They had lost much territory to the White Angels over the years.
Because they were nurous and had a clan leader.
Now their clan leader was back, and a female one at that; it’s known that the females of the Black Angels have stronger mana than the males.
This ant the clan leader must be powerful.
Probably even more powerful than the White Angels’ clan leader.
As he thought about this, his eyes reddened, just as he was about to bow and greet the clan leader, inviting her to return, unexpectedly, the newly-awakened and seemingly regaining-her-senses female clan leader suddenly sat up on the bed, her gaze falling upon Gu Junbai standing not far away, startled for a mont, she suddenly clutched her chest and incredulously asked, "Are you Mr. Gu?"
Perhaps from not speaking for a long ti, her voice was quite hoarse, but it was precisely this hoarseness, yet fluent Huaxia language, that shocked everyone except the two clan mbers.
This ti, Danny was smart, imdiately translating this sentence for the two of them to hear.
So, as the female clan leader’s words fell, everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned to Gu Junbai.
Gu Qiaoqiao widened her clear, sparkling eyes in surprise, her gaze darting back and forth between Gu Junbai and the female clan leader, heavens, what was going on, her ancestor and the female clan leader of the Black Angels knew each other, recalling what Gu Junbai had ntioned about dealings with the Black Angels, could it be...
Perhaps Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes were too cunningly bright, Gu Junbai flicked his fingers, though several ters away, he used spiritual power to flick Gu Qiaoqiao on the forehead in the void.
It hurt a lot.
Silently, yet Gu Qiaoqiao grimaced and covered her forehead.
The Gu Family Ancestor could flip his face just like that, just because she guessed in her heart if it was an old fla of the ancestor, she got flicked.
Gu Qiaoqiao pouted, glaring at Gu Junbai with a huff, "Uncle!"
Gu Junbai gave her a glance, warning her not to think nonsense, and he then looked at the female clan leader in surprise, calmly asking, "Do you know ?"
Looking at her face, he frowned and pondered, asking for forgiveness, our Gu Family Ancestor found it quite difficult to distinguish foreign won.
In his eyes, all blonde beauties with deep blue eyes looked nearly the sa.
The blonde beauty clan leader was already standing in front of Gu Junbai, her eyes a bit eager, "I am Tara, when I was fifteen, you once saved my life, at that ti we were at war with the White Angels, I was captured and held in a cave, you happened to pass by and saved , I was injured then, and it was you who found herbs to heal my wounds, you later sent back to the clan, a few days after, you left, Mr. Gu, do you really not rember ..."
With the female clan leader Tara’s recounting, Gu Junbai seed to stir up dusty mories.
He smiled slightly, "Oh, it’s you..."
He rembered now.
This was the little girl who always loved to run around wildly behind him but couldn’t understand a word he said.
Unexpectedly, she had beco the clan leader.
And also, learned the modern official language of Huaxia, although her accent was a bit strange, her fluency was evident, clearly putting in a lot of effort.
Things weren’t as complicated as Gu Qiaoqiao imagined, the female clan leader held a sort of admiration for Gu Junbai, she knelt on one knee, one hand on her knee, the other on her chest, sincerely said, "Mr. Gu, to see you as the first upon my return after a century, I represent the Black Angels in thanking you for your rescue back then, whatever instructions you have, I will follow to my death, ready to serve!"
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked, she had to admit, the female clan leader was quite articulate, using a Huaxia idiom like that.
Danny and the other two exchanged looks.
The female clan leader awakened and didn’t even notice her clan mbers eagerly longing for her?
Moreover, the critical point was, this Zhou family was actually the clan leader’s benefactor, also the benefactor of the Black Angels, and they dared to lay hands on the benefactor’s relatives, what were they going to do?
However, there were clan rules, and if the clan leader salutes, they naturally must follow.
Thus, they all knelt on one knee in front of Gu Junbai.
Willingly or not, only they knew.
Gu Junbai looked indifferent, pondering for a mont, "I do have sothing to ask you..."
Subsequent matters proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
The female clan leader used her clan’s mana to seal the mana of three people, and prepared to send them to a frigid land to face punishnt, notably Danny, who was punished most severely, being slapped unconscious by the female clan leader on the spot.
And all the gold artefacts and other items in the house were left to the Zhou family as compensation, for it was soone from their side who took away Zhou family’s funds.
Naturally, the mortgage was nullified, everything returning to normal.
After dealing with these, it was already midnight.
Several more mbers of the Black Angels arrived, respectfully and happily taking the female clan leader away, though reluctant to part, she felt deeply embarrassed and couldn’t stay long, yet promised that the Black Angels would guard the Zhou family in the future, and dare no longer harbor ill intentions.
As they were leaving, Danny finally woke up, having gone over things repeatedly, only then realizing that Gu Qiaoqiao likely discovered his secret long ago.
Then took a series of asures.
He didn’t know how she initially found out.
But she definitely knew sothing was up with them, thus the fog they encountered at the ancient castle a few days before was surely set by Gu Qiaoqiao.
She had prepared well in advance.
Just waiting for them to co.
She used a barrier to isolate her and Zhou Xia’s figures, subsequently hearing their conversation, naturally learning the secret underground.
When leaving, she extended her spell, causing both him and his companions to fall into the spell.
