Chapter 1615: Becoming Clan Leader Again

Not knowing what to do, Zhang Xuan had no choice but to step forward and support the other's arms: "No need to be so polite; we can be friends..."

Luo Xuanqing had been to his liking from the start, and although he ultimately didn't become his brother-in-law but rather Luo Qiqi's elder brother... he had never changed his original intention!

I treat you as a brother, yet you want to take me as your master...

"That Zhang Xuan of the Zhang clan insulted the dignity of my Luo clan and made my sister heartbroken. I will never share the sky with him! But his strength grows daily, and I can no longer catch up. I beg you, teacher, to teach me the method to comprehend the True Interpretation of Sealing! Once I have learned it, I will avenge my grievances. If I do not kill that scoundrel and brute, I swear I am no man..."

Gritting his teeth, Luo Xuanqing did not rise.

..." His vision darkened, and Zhang Xuan staggered, nearly fainting, feeling his head spinning. He could only console: "Well... that Zhang Xuan might not have meant it..."

I treat you as a brother, yet you not only want to take me as your master but also want to kill me... Who the hell have I offended?

"Just because he didn't mean it, he can make my sister sad and ignore it? Just because he didn't mean it, he can insult the Luo clan and then leave without a care?" Luo Xuanqing looked up: "I beg you, senior, to grant my wish. If you take me as your disciple, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"This..."

Zhang Xuan was truly exasperated.

He should never have come to the Luo clan. What a mess this was.

Not only was he being made clan leader, but his only recognized friend wanted to become his disciple... and the purpose of becoming a disciple was to kill himself...

In that case, should I teach him or not?

Frustrated, he turned to look at Luo Ruoxi again, only to see her smiling, as if she had long expected this situation and was not surprised at all.

"Ruoxi, did you know I would be detected as having Luo clan blood? Could it be... caused by that disguise talisman you gave me?"

A thought struck him, and he could no longer hold back, sending a telepathic message.

He was definitely not a member of the Luo clan; that was certain. Otherwise, he couldn't perfectly match the Little Genius of the Zhang clan and burn Zhang clan bloodline.

Since that was the case, yet the bloodline test showed 'nine,' after thinking it over, there was only this possibility—the disguise talisman Luo Ruoxi gave him was problematic!

"Mm, that was condensed from the special true qi of a special constitution. It can not only change appearance and soul aura but even disguise the bloodline of any race one wishes to impersonate, undetectable even by ancient sages. Besides, you have comprehended the True Interpretation of Sealing. If you reach the ancient sage level, the bloodline you leave behind will be identical to theirs, so reaching nine is nothing..." Luo Ruoxi replied via telepathy.

"This..."

His face twitched, and Zhang Xuan swayed.

After all this fuss, it really was the talisman's fault. If only he hadn't used it...

But being able to disguise even bloodline... that was too powerful!

Why had he never heard of such a thing before?

"Brother Tianya, please do not refuse. The Luo clan truly needs a new clan leader now..."

Seeing Zhang Xuan's expression constantly changing, Luo Qianzhen thought he was unwilling and could not help but speak.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but... I really am not fit to be the Luo clan leader..." Zhang Xuan shook his head: "How about this: I need to consult my wife!"

This whole situation was caused by Luo Ruoxi's talisman; otherwise, he would have gotten away long ago...

With no other choice, he could only use her as a shield.

"Madam is also here?"

Hearing that he wanted to ask his wife, Luo Qianzhen was startled, then said.

"Indeed..." Smiling lightly, Zhang Xuan looked in a direction and extended his hand: "Lingxi, come over!"

"..."

Unexpectedly, this fellow was shifting the blame to her. Seeing everyone look over, unable to avoid it, Luo Ruoxi had no choice but to nod helplessly, then leaped gracefully onto the high platform.

"Clan Leader Luo, I promised my wife that I would roam the world with her for life; power and wealth are like floating clouds to me... So, I must forgo your generous offer!"

Holding Luo Ruoxi's hand, Zhang Xuan secretly sent a telepathic message: "Help me refuse..."

"This..."

Holding her hand in public, Luo Ruoxi blushed and shot him a glance: "Since you want me to speak, I'll say something fair. Actually... it wouldn't be bad for Tianya to be your clan leader!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xuan staggered, his eyes nearly popping out.

Why aren't you following the script?

That's not what I wanted you to say...

"However, he is devoted to cultivation and cannot handle clan affairs. Moreover, the purpose of his return this time is to pass down the method of comprehending the True Interpretation, helping the Luo clan emerge from the shadow of the broken engagement... As long as Clan Leader Luo can agree to this request, there's no harm in him becoming clan leader!" Luo Ruoxi nodded.

"Good, I agree!"

Luo Qianzhen quickly nodded.

Not handling clan affairs—they could handle that. This had been mentioned before. Being able to pass down the True Interpretation of Sealing would be even better!

From any perspective, it was nothing but beneficial to the clan.

How could he refuse!

"Given the current situation, the other side won't let this go easily. It's better to agree for now. After all, our identities are disguised, and they don't know. Later, we can simply stop using this identity. After a while, they will naturally establish a new clan leader..."

Seeing him agree, Luo Ruoxi secretly sent a telepathic message.

"This... fine!"

Under the current circumstances, this was the only way.

Though reluctant, Zhang Xuan finally nodded.

What a mess. He had only intended to make up for his debt to the Luo clan, never dreaming he would become their clan leader.

Now this was great...

Clan leader of the Zhang clan, clan leader of the Luo clan, master of the Saint Child Hall, and very likely to become the head of the Master Teacher Hall...

Almost all the super-first-rate forces on the continent were under his rule...

By the way, there was also the Jiang clan among the three great families. Should he go there for a stroll?

See if he could become a clan leader no one wanted to be?

"Members of the Luo clan, pay respects to the clan leader!"

Seeing him agree, the rest was simple.

Coincidentally, all the clan members were present, and various items for the Zhang clan's wedding procession were fully prepared. Soon, the inauguration ceremony for the new clan leader was completed.

While Zhang Xuan was busy being inaugurated as the Luo clan leader, Nangong Yuanfeng and the others, who had left the Luo clan, traveled on, feeling deeply frustrated.

"Teacher, we didn't complete the mission. What should we do?"

Unable to hold back, a young man asked.

"What else can we do? Go back and accept punishment!"

Shaking his head, Nangong Yuanfeng was filled with disappointment. After a moment, he said: "Let's find a place to recuperate. Once we recover our strength, we'll go to the Zhang clan. The Luo clan produced such a genius; I don't believe the Zhang clan... has one too."

"We have no choice..." The young man nodded, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the space around them solidify, and they could no longer fly forward.

Their pupils constricted, and they quickly looked ahead, only to see a stunning figure hovering not far away, with a round orb spinning before her, exuding astonishing power.

"After causing trouble in my Luo clan... leaving like this, isn't it too rude?"

Turning to look at them, the girl's expression was calm.
