The turmoil at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well gradually subsided, and the valley returned to its former peace.
Lin Yuan stood beside the spring and looked around the valley. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Immortal Herbs everywhere, a natural barrier, and terrain easy to defend and hard to attack. He had already made up his mind—letting this place go to waste instead of building an organization here would be a shame.
Just then, Yang Wudi stepped forward, dropped to one knee, and bowed deeply to Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan, you brought our three clans into business and gave every household a steady income. You gave me an Immortal Herb, healed the injury that had plagued me for years, and helped me break through the limits of my Martial Soul." Yang Wudi's voice was low and uncharacteristically solemn. "What you've done for me is like giving me a second life. From this day on, I, Yang Wudi, will lead the Breaking Clan in following you, without a second thought."
Niu Gao and Bai He exchanged a glance, then stepped forward together and dropped to one knee.
"Old Yang is right. The Defense Clan will follow you!"
"The Speed Clan too. From now on, your affairs are our affairs."
The five Gugas squatted in a row nearby, watching the spectacle. Guga tilted its head and propped its chin on its two stubby hands. "Why is everyone kneeling, guga?"
Little Moon sat beside Guga, swinging its little feet. "I don't know, guga. It looks really serious."
Lin Yuan hurried forward. He helped Yang Wudi up first, then Niu Gao and Bai He in turn. "What are you doing? Get up and talk. Don't put me in a difficult position."
Yang Wudi stood and brushed the dirt off his knee.
