Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2046: I still have (2)

Yaohan Suʼs thoughts were actually very simple: as long as Jie Su performed excellently enough, that would suffice. Then, no matter how the situation changed in the future, he would have absolute confidence.

At the same time, he couldnʼt help but sigh; some peopleʼs natural talent was so good, their character so resolute, their dedication to a goal so relentless, it was truly enviable.

The traveling formation was his invention. From the first time he grasped the key and successfully deployed the traveling formation, to him perfecting this ability and teaching it to the Su Clanʼs direct lineage, over a dozen years had actually passed.

He had also progressed from being able to use only low-level formations like Jie Su to now making significant strides.

But he still remembered how long it took him to reach Jie Suʼs current stage.

Five years!

Yaohan Su used five years.

Of course, everything about the following formation had to be explored by him, while Jie Su had ready theories to learn from. But who could deny his talent and effort?

The others were also full of admiration. They had all learned the traveling formation, and their progress was faster than Jie Suʼs, but they had their own powerful strength as a foundation. Yet, Jie Su previously hadnʼt even passed fifty thousand in Furelai, and now he had reached almost the same progress as them; the difference was merely the duration of using the traveling formation. Having such a person on their side was truly something worth being happy about.

”Letʼs go, meet this youngster whom our little genius praises so highly, and see what surprises he can bring us.”
They left the room and encountered people they didnʼt want to see in the corridor.

Yaohan Suʼs pupils moved. He saw the leaders of the other two factions, as well as the elders on their side, and the top three heirs.

These dozen or so people stood casually in the corridor chatting, but everyone knew they were specifically waiting for the clan leader and the others.

”Clan leader, we heard you are meeting the Star-Eye Clanʼs Novice First today. We are also very interested in him and would like to see what this youngster, who made our little genius Jie Su willingly reduce his own strength to go and help, is like. You shouldnʼt mind, right?”

At this moment, including Yaohan Su, the others all had the same thought: if we minded, would you not go?

Now it was impossible. While surprised at the accuracy and timeliness of these peopleʼs information, Yaohan Su also had to agree because, among the Su Clanʼs ten elders, only Cheng Su and Huo Zhi stood by his side, while eight stood with the other two factions. Plus, even he had to admit Kelan Su, the first heir who might be more talented than Jie Su, held an absolute advantage in strength. In terms of voice, on such a small matter, he couldnʼt just put on the airs of the clan leader.

”Alright, letʼs go then.”

Yaohan Su straightforwardly agreed and led the way forward. After these elders passed, Kelan Su, who had been standing aside, smiled and said to Jie Su, ”Little brother, havenʼt seen you for a while. How is it? To what level have you practiced the traveling formation?”

This seemingly simple greeting attracted everyoneʼs attention. The elders in front listened as they walked, all very concerned about Jie Suʼs progress.

Jie Su was slightly taken aback, not expecting this clan elder brother to ask so directly. Hesitating for a moment, he still told the truth: ”Just able to fuse low-level intermediate formations.”

Kelan Suʼs expression changed slightly but quickly adjusted back, praising, ”Truly impressive. Iʼm still a bit worse than you.”

An elder following behind Yaohan Su, the current leader of Kelan Suʼs faction, narrowed his eyes upon hearing the conversation between the two juniors.

He knew Kelan Su wasnʼt telling the truth; he could also use intermediate formations when activating the following formation now, which was quite similar to Jie Suʼs level.

But no one knew how much manpower and resources their faction had spent to allow Kelan Su to make progress.

Yet he knew the clan leaderʼs faction hadnʼt spent much effort on Jie Su. If so, didnʼt that mean Jie Suʼs talent was even better than Kelan Suʼs?

Now, Yaohan Suʼs various actions had already made people in his faction uncomfortable; they felt he seemed to be deliberately cultivating Jie Su. Although none of them thought Yaohan Su would dare break the Su Clanʼs rules of countless years to support Jie Su as the successor, a sense of inexplicable crisis had always existed.

In this leaderʼs mind, he raised Jie Suʼs status once again and also firmly resolved that, no matter what happened today, he absolutely could not let that Star-Eye Clan kid sway the clan leader.

As long as Jie Su lacked strong external support and internally, Yaohan Su did not dare overturn the ancestorsʼ rules, then Kelan Suʼs position would be stable, and their faction would definitely be the next clan leaderʼs faction.

The group soon arrived at the room where Ye Zhongming was. With so many people coming in all at once, Ye Zhongming was startled and instinctively looked towards Jie Su at the back of the crowd.

Jie Su was also very helpless; this lineup was the Su Clanʼs highest-level council of elders.

Ye Zhongming paid his respects. Yaohan Su sat down, and the others also found seats. The originally quite spacious room suddenly became crowded.

These people were all experts; even if they only specialized in formations, their Furelai was solid. Most of them were not particularly welcoming of Ye Zhongmingʼs arrival, so the pressure on the Cloud Peak King was imaginable.

However, Ye Zhongming was, after all, no longer a Novice who had just arrived here. The dual pressure, both physical and mental, did not cause him to show any abnormality.

Just this point alone made these Su Clan elders view him with new respect.

”Although you came here in the name of completing the Novice reward, Jie Su has already made it clear to us. Your main purpose in coming is to seek cooperation between the Star-Eye Clan and the Su Clan, which amounts to a request for our help. However, it is a pity; after discussion, we felt this was inappropriate. Now we formally inform you.”

Right from the start, the leader of Kelan Suʼs faction spoke these words before Yaohan Su could, negating all possibilities before Ye Zhongming even opened his mouth.

The people of Yaohan Suʼs faction were very unhappy but couldnʼt say anything; what this leader said was indeed the fact. In the previous high-level meeting, the decision not to cooperate with the Star-Eye Clan had indeed been passed.

Ye Zhongming was somewhat surprised by the situation, but, seeing the clear division among the people in the room, he guessed some of it.

He was not nervous or discouraged at all, nor did he give up because of this leaderʼs words. Instead, he smiled and said, ”Clan leader Yaohan Su, and all elders, I think you may have misunderstood the intentions of the Star-Eye Clan. I came here, besides studying, indeed have other matters to discuss with everyone, but it certainly isnʼt cooperation, or even seeking help.”

The others were quite surprised. Not here to discuss cooperation? Then why are you here? Really here to study? A combat person coming to the Su Clan to study? Who would believe that?

”I am here to provide help to the Su Clan.”
