"Um..."
Faced with Zhao Chen's question, Elder Qing Xuan clearly found it difficult to speak.
Although the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan was rife with disputes internally, with all sides pouring their strength into competing for the Young Clan Leader Position and even resorting to underhanded schemes, causing the Qing Branch to suffer constant suppression—
Outside, however, she represented the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan.
Even if she knew of certain unpleasant matters, it was inappropriate to speak of them before others.
Especially before this God Emperor, she had to be careful with her words.
If the Grand Elder of the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan learned that she had spoken ill of the clan, would that not implicate the entire Qing Branch?
The Qing Branch's situation was already dire enough.
But...
"Yes, yes! That Elder Mo Yin from the Mo Branch, Black Light Elder from the Xuan Branch, and the Ninth Elder were all speaking badly about you!"
Lively and spirited Qing Ling did not feel there was anything wrong with bringing up the matter.
She pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure.
The Mo Branch and Xuan Branch often bullied their Qing Branch.
Now, they were even constantly speaking ill of the God Emperor before them, showing no sign of having learned their lesson.
Originally, the task of delivering invitations should never have fallen to the Qing Branch.
Yet because the Mo Branch and Xuan Branch had offended the God Emperor, their Qing Branch had been pushed out to deliver the invitations.
When they came to the Heavenly Luo Continent, they had already prepared themselves to endure all manner of difficulties.
Fortunately.
This God Emperor seemed to know whom to hold accountable and had not made things difficult for them in any way.
Naturally, Qing Ling found that quite agreeable.
