Age and Experience Win Out

The clan affairs officer hadn't been with the Clan Leader for very long.

However, in this short period of time, he had already witnessed firsthand the Clan Leader's character and methods.

When dealing with clan affairs, the other party never utters a single unnecessary word.

He treated all members of the clan, young and old, fairly and kindly, regardless of their relationship to the clan.

I never give a second glance to those who are rich or powerful, nor do I look down on those who are poor.

People tend to subconsciously favor those they know well, and he admits he is biased.

He had only met that young Clan Leader a handful of times.

But the Clan Leader in front of him was someone he had personally witnessed day after day working tirelessly for the Jade Qilin Clan.

From any perspective, he would prefer that the Clan Leader serve God.

Moreover, he was the clan affairs officer of the Jade Qilin Clan.

Even though he hasn't been in office for very long, he is already very familiar with the ancient Classics of the tribe.

Since the Age of the Gods, every Clan Leader has considered serving the Goddess of Beauty the highest honor. Now that the Goddess of Beauty has awakened, it is a golden opportunity for their Jade Qilin Clan to return to the side of the gods. However, their Clan Leader has actually announced his resignation at this critical juncture.

"Yes, this is a decision I made after considering many factors. Let's not talk about that now, come on, take a look at this."

The long-haired man leisurely crossed his legs and swiped his finger across the Lightbrain.

Several light screens unfolded simultaneously in front of him, hovering in mid-air.

Each screen displays intelligence from different sources.

The Federation Military Department's troop movement records, navigation logs for the Star Region surrounding Landon Star, a preliminary report on the destruction of the Evil God Order, and a starship photograph magnified countless times.

The angle from which the photo was taken wasn't very good.

But one could still make out the black-haired boy standing atop the warship, and the jet -Pitch-Black Spear in his hand.

The long-haired man tilted his head slightly, his fingertip pointing at one of the photos, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"As soon as My God awoke, I stopped the sacrificial ritual of the Evil God Faction. At that time, my disobedient son happened to be present. Although I didn't know him, I saw the Dark Night in his hand and would inevitably exchange a few words with him. Afterwards, my son would learn from me that our race is a race protected by the gods."

The long-haired man flicked his fingertips, turning off several light screens one by one, until only one remained.

That was the official announcement page for the Jade Qilin Clan.

The number of shares above is increasing at a visible rate.

"Once this message is sent out, do you think he won't come back?"

The long-haired man was none other than Si Ting, the current Clan Leader of the Jade Qilin Clan and Si Lin's father.

Ting refers to the jade tablet held by the emperor.

He was upright and just throughout the world, and unyielding and unyielding.

When Si Ting's father named him this, he clearly had high hopes for him.

Si Ting lived up to expectations, managing the Jade Qilin Clan to prosperity, remaining low-key yet not to be underestimated by anyone.

After his child was born, Si Ting also had high hopes for this son, and with a stroke of his pen, he gave him the character "Lin" from his clan name.

But at that time he never imagined that his son would later become so strong-willed that he would run away.

They ran away, but they even carried Dark Night with them.

After processing all that, the clan official remembered something else and cautiously asked, "Clan Leader, if the young Clan Leader really does return... should we tell him about that That Matter?"

Si Ting's fingertips paused on the Gemstone tabletop, tapping it lightly twice, before raising one eyebrow.

He asked in an extremely innocent tone:

Which matter?

"Are you saying that I secretly paved the way for his rapid rise through the ranks of the Federation Military Department? Or that I turned a blind eye to his successful escape from the home planet? Or perhaps..."

The clan affairs official silently lowered his head.

Although the young Clan Leader was fast, it was still too easy for the Jade Qilin Clan to find him.

The young Clan Leader had just slipped out of the home planet carrying Dark Night.

The intelligence was already on the Clan Leader's desk shortly afterward.

The poor young Clan Leader is still in the dark, believing that he truly earned his position Major General through his own abilities and by sheer luck.

This could not have happened without the secret support of the Jade Qilin Clan.

How could a young person with no connections rise through the ranks in such a short time?

Those people in the Federation are ruthless and heartless.

Si Ting turned off the last light screen, leaned back in his chair, and smiled in a way that was so gentle it sent chills down your spine.

"Let's not talk about it now. We'll talk about it when he comes back and takes over my job. Once he's in that position, he'll naturally know everything."

Si Ting rested his chin on one hand.

He looked down at the Gemstone chain on his wrist, his face bearing the composure of someone accustomed to a high position.

Si Lin was unaware of the things he had done.

But this doesn't mean he was exceptionally intelligent, nor does it mean Si Lin was foolish.

Rather, it's because the view he gets from his position is inherently different from that of others.

The information he possesses, the connections he can utilize, the resources he can mobilize, the assets he can control...

Each of these items alone is enough to overwhelm the imagination of an average person.

And these things will naturally come to him once that brat Si Lin takes his place.

The clan official lowered his head, wisely refraining from asking any further questions.

The poor young Clan Leader never escaped the Clan Leader's clutches.

How should I put it?

Old ginger is spicier; your dad is still your dad.

Si Ting lowered her leg and stood up.

"The platform is already set. Even if he doesn't come, then even if he is my son, there's no need for him to come back later. If he doesn't do it, our clan has plenty of people who can."

"Ugh, go do something else, stop following me around all day."

Wuma Xiu turned around, looked at the Evil God who was following him like a shadow, and said.

"Why? Did I do something to annoy you? Can I secretly follow you? I promise I won't attract your attention," the Evil God asked cautiously.

He could easily blend into the shadows.

Concealing his presence so well that even the Wind God couldn't detect him, he silently followed behind the Goddess of Beauty.

Not only that, he could also easily beat aside all those guys who tried to peek at the Goddess of Beauty, coveted the Goddess of Beauty, or were too arrogant to get close to Goddess of Beauty.

The more the Evil God thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

Those black eyes were now glowing.

Wuma Xiu looked at the serious expression on the Evil God's face, which inexplicably revealed a sense of "I think this is a great idea," and remained silent for a moment.

He had no doubt that the other party was actually capable of doing such a thing.

"It's not that I'm bothering you. It's just that the Jade Qilin Clan, which I protect, is about to elect a new Clan Leader, and I will personally go to crown him."

When he uttered the word "coronation," Wuma Xiu slightly raised his chin, his light-colored eyes reflecting the distant, unknown starlight, and his usual nonchalance vanished.

The Jade Qilin Clan is a race blessed by the Goddess of Beauty, and has followed her since the Age of Age of the Gods.

For generations, they have offered Gemstones as tribute and made vows of piety.

Therefore, in response to the other party's piety, the Coronation Ceremony of each Clan Leader was personally presided over by the Goddess of Beauty.

"Evil," Wuma Xiu exclaimed, turning his gaze from the starlight back to the Evil God, a bright and honest smile curving his lips. "I may be willful at times, but I will never shirk any of my responsibilities."
