“I should be able to reach the fire spiritual beast clan once I pass through this area .”
A flash of green robes slowly descended to stand on the mountain’s peak. The woman was staring at a nearby valley as the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile. “Huo’er, come out.”
Whoosh!
As soon as she had spoken, a Firebird appeared in front of Gu Ruoyun. The Firebird then looked at his hometown and chirped softly in excitement.
“Come, let’s make our way to the fire spiritual beast clan!”
Gu Ruoyun made her way down the mountain. Her green robes made her look as upright and steadfast as a bamboo tree. Her figure was trim and slender, casting a lonely figure on the lonesome mountain range…
“Stop!”
Gu Ruoyun had just reached the fire spiritual beast clan when two figures appeared from thin air and blocked her way.
However, when the two fire spiritual beasts noticed Huo’er, who had been following closely behind her, they were stunned and exclaimed with excitement, “Huo’er, weren’t you taken by Elder Feng as a gift for another human? What are you doing here?”
“May we go inside and talk about this? Is the Clan Leader here?”
Huo’er’s eyes were glowing with excitement as well. He had been away from his home for a very long time and never thought that he would be able to return one day.
“The Clan Leader is inside. This human is…” The two fire spiritual beasts noticed Gu Ruoyun who was standing next to him and furrowed their brows. “Huo’er, why did you lead a human to us?”
The fire spiritual beast had questioned her presence with some wariness.
Fire spiritual beasts have never had any good sentiments towards humans. They believe that all humans were like those from Wind Valley whose only intention was to shut spiritual beasts away for their own uses! They would usually not be troubled by these humans but several of the fire spiritual beast clan’s youngsters had been taken away by them.
Despite the fact that, not too long ago, the humans of Wind Valley had released the fire spiritual beast youngsters for some inexplicable reason, that does not mean that it had rid them of their disgust towards humans.
“She is my Master,” Huo’er looked at Gu Ruoyun and replied. “We’re going to speak with the Clan Leader first, I have something to say to the Clan Leader.”
The two fire spiritual beasts fell silent for a moment before they nodded and said, “Alright. However, if this human has the audacity to harm the fire spiritual beast clan, we won’t spare her at all!”
Huo’er heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as he could see the Clan Leader, everything would turn out alright.
An old man was seated in meditation on a woven mat in the fire spiritual beast clan’s clan hall. When the clan hall’s door swung open, the old man opened his eyes and turned his muddied gaze towards the beasts who had just entered the hall.
“Clan Leader, Huo’er has returned and he has brought a human along with him too.”
The fire spiritual beast led Gu Ruoyun into the hall and walked towards the Clan Leader as he announced their arrival respectfully.
“I understand,” replied the Clan Leader calmly. “You may leave now, I have something to say to this human. You should stay as well, Huo’er.”
“Yes, Clan Leader.”
The fire spiritual beast was a little stunned. Why didn’t the sight of this human shock the Clan Leader at all?
It was as if The Clan Leader had known that she would appear.
“I’ve sensed your presence ever since you’ve entered the clan.” The old man smiled gently as he turned towards Gu Ruoyun and said, “However, I don’t sense any murderous intent on your body. This was why I had permitted your entry! Otherwise, if you had shown any sign of bad intentions towards the fire spiritual beasts, I would never have let you walk in here alive.”
