At the same time, Su Huiqing—who was walking at the front—suddenly stopped.
“Qingqing, what’s wrong?” Qu Yan was confused.
Su Huiqing gripped her spinning phone and glanced sideways at the expressionless Gu Li. She finally smiled coldly. “Oh… nothing.”
After the priest spoke, no one moved.
He glanced at the elder.
“That is Mr. Yu’s friend.” The elder beside him didn’t know why the priest had such a big reaction, but he still braced himself and explained. “Elder, that is Mr. Yu’s friend. We… can’t rush him. Moreover, Miss Su even cured Mr. Gu.”
“You mean Yiping’s illness has been cured?” The priest’s expression finally relaxed.
“That’s right. Let’s not talk about Mr. Yu first. Just that Miss Su is not someone we can chase out,” the elder said calmly.
Although they had avoided the world for a long time, they were not ungrateful people. Otherwise, they would really be punished by the heavens. Their race really wouldn’t exist anymore.
The priest pursed his lips and glanced at Gu Li with an obscure gaze. He remained silent.
“I know everyone is curious about my whereabouts this time. I can tell you this. After three years, I finally convinced the Gu Family of Unknown Island. They are also sure that we can move out.” The priest stood in the middle and announced.
“Really?” The chief looked at the priest, his voice trembling.
The other elders’ eyes were also red.
“Of course.” The priest smiled. “But Elder Gu will come here personally.”
“This is great news!” The chief nodded repeatedly, his hands trembling as he didn’t know where to put them. “It’s still the clan that protects us. Once the clan opens, good things keep happening.”
More than a hundred members of the Gu Clan also gathered together to celebrate.
The priest was naturally happy to see these people’s smiles. However, when he thought of the people he saw when he returned, he couldn’t help but look at the chief beside him. “Can we really not chase those outsiders out?”
“Chase them out?” The chief was almost scared off. “They are Mr. Yu’s men! Do you want to die?!”
The priest didn’t speak this time and just left the lively venue.
The chief stood behind him with a strange expression. However, that bit of hesitation was washed away by the good news brought back by the priest.
The priest returned to his room and dismissed all the guards. He then took out a black communication device from his pocket and turned it on.
“What happened? Didn’t I hire you guys to kill Gu Li a year ago? Why did I see him today? You guys even accepted the commission and didn’t do anything?!” The priest’s expression was really terrifying.
After a series of rustling sounds, a strange voice was heard. “A year ago? You still have the cheek to talk about that time? We didn’t even ask you for compensation. Because of him alone, we even destroyed Green City’s base. He was supposed to be an ordinary person, but do you know who those people around him are?!”
The priest sneered. “I remember that, a year ago, he was just a student who couldn’t even afford to attend school.”
“Your information is too outdated.” The person on the other end sneered as well. “Do you know which university he went to? The International Association! Don’t tell me you don’t know whose territory the International Association is. If we touch ordinary people in her territory, all our bases will be uprooted. Touch him? You dare?!”
