Sovereign of the Heaven - C270

Jie Wei immediately introduced the Herba Hydrae to Di Chen, and the Herba Hydrae looked at Di Chen and smiled: “Oh you are Di Chen, many thanks for taking care of Jie Wei during this period.”

Di Chen smiled and said: “Grandma doesn’t need to be so polite, Jie Long also helped me out a lot.”

The Herba Hydrae stared at Di Chen for a while, then suddenly became stern: “You probably didn’t come to Eastern Desolation just to send Jie Long back right? Do you have another goal?”

“Yes, there are some things,” Di Chen did not hide anything from him. This was something that Jie Wei knew, but he did not tell him the reason why he was here.

Herba Hydrae also did not intend to pursue the matter further, so she smiled and said, “Witch race is not safe, you should be careful during this period.”

Di Chen also knew that there were people in the Witch race who wanted to kill Jie Wei, and that Di Chen was here to help Jie Wei. Naturally, Di Chen would be in danger, but Grandma really didn’t think that Di Chen could help Jie Wei out much.

Luo Yumeng, who was at the side, did not say a word from start to finish. She could tell that the Herba Hydrae was not a simple person.

“Let’s go,” the Herba Hydrae said. “Follow me to see Yan Huai. Di Chen, the two of you follow me.”

Yan Huai was currently the Acting Patriarch of the Witch race, and had a very high status in the Witch race.

Jie Long became angry when she thought of Yan Huai, as if she was still afraid. But she knew that she could not hide, so she followed Herba Hydrae with a nod.

They arrived at the largest yurt, and immediately saw a dignified middle-aged man. The man held a walking stick with a skull, the walking stick was called the Witch God Staff, it was a symbol of the patriarch of the Witch race, and behind him were two elders, two of them were the elders of the Witch race, the one on the left was called Clan Elder Hong, the one on the right was a kind looking Elder Ting, who was also highly respected in the Witch race. Beside him were Yan Hui and You Mo.

When Herba Hydrae brought Jie Wei and the others in, they saw the different expressions on and the others’ faces, but they did not say anything.

Jie Long bowed to Elder Hong and Elder Ting: “Greetings, Elders.”

Elder Hong nodded expressionlessly.

Elder Ting greeted him warmly, smiled and said: “It’s good that you’re back. This time, don’t go out.”

Jie Long did not greet Yan Huai, nor did he even glance at him.

Yan Hui immediately said angrily: “Jie Wei, don’t be rude. Why aren’t you bowing to the patriarch?”

Jie Wei calmly said, “My father is the clan leader. After my father died, the clan leader was never chosen. Why should I pay respects?”

Yan Hui berated: “My father is now the Acting Patriarch, and is also the Patriarch. As a member of the Witch race, you are actually so rude.

Jie Qian looked coldly at Yan Hui, not even bothering to reply.

He only faintly knew that Yan Huai must have done something that could not be exposed. After that, Herba Hydrae had asked Jie Long to leave the Witch race to prove that the two of them were right, but at that time, the Witch race was being attacked by another tribe, so the two of them did not have the time to ask about it, and now, the two of them did not want to bring up the matter that happened back then anymore. Judging from Jie Wei’s reaction, it seemed like what happened that year must not be simple, but it had already been a few years, there was no point in investigating it.

Yan Huai waved his hand, looked at Jie Long and said: “You are right, your father is the Clan Leader, I am only temporarily representing your father. You do not need to bow to me, it is good that you can return.”

He spoke very politely, but he had almost killed Gorgeous that year.

“Oh, right,” Yan Huai’s gaze landed on the two and asked: “Who are these two people?”

Herba Hydrae introduced them as she said, “These two are the people who escorted Jie Qian back.”

Yan Huai sized up Di Chen for a while, but did not pay too much attention to him. His gaze landed on Luo Yumeng again, and slightly raised his brows, as if he had felt Luo Yumeng’s strength.

“Thank you for taking care of Jie Dui.” Yan Huai laughed and said: “It’s been hard on you all. Rest well today, you can leave tomorrow.”

Di Chen and Luo Yumeng were startled when they heard this, the two of them had no intention to leave from the start, but Yan Huai said that he would leave tomorrow, this was clearly ordering them to leave.

Jie Qian immediately said: “Di Chen will not leave this place for the time being. I plan to let him stay in Witch race for a period of time.”

Yan Huai said as he furrowed his brows: “Jie Qian, you are the daughter of the Clan Leader. You should know the rules of the Witch race because he is an outsider, not to mention, not even a member of the Eastern Desolation’s clan. How can he stay in the Witch race?”

There were many tribes in the Eastern Desolation, and these tribes fought wars throughout the year. However, there would occasionally be interactions between the tribes, but the tribesmen hated people that were not from the Eastern Desolation the most.

Jie Wei said willfully: “I don’t care if they are people of the Eastern Desolation, they won’t leave during this period of time anyways.”

Yan Huai’s face sunk. He hated it when people refuted him the most, but Jie Long was the old patriarch’s daughter, so he couldn’t get angry at him in front of the two elders. It was just that as his elders, Yan Huai and You Mo were not suitable to talk, but as juniors, they were.

Yan Hui also knew what Yan Huai was thinking right now. He immediately said: “Jie Wei, these outsiders are a threat to our tribe. You must think about it for our tribe.”

You Mo also agreed, “That’s right, as the daughter of the Patriarch, you should take responsibility for your actions, they cannot keep you.”

He had made up his mind and would not argue with them.

Herba Hydrae was very clear that Jie Wei was still young, and Di Chen and Luo Yumeng could protect Jie Wei, so without them, it would definitely be very dangerous. He said: “After all, they did save Jie Wei, so let them stay for a while.”

“But …” Yan Hui was still unconvinced, he still wanted to refute.

“Yan Hui,” Yan Huai interrupted him. “Since Herba Hydrae has already said this, then let them stay behind.

Herba Hydrae was a highly respected person in the Witch race, even Yan Huai had to listen to her.

“But …” Yan Huai changed the subject, looked at Di Chen and said: “If anything happens to Witch race during this period of time, we will use you as a test.”

“I know,” Di Chen smiled and said, but in his heart, he knew that something was amiss. Looks like Yan Huai wouldn’t just sit there and watch, he would definitely do something in the dark, but Di Chen wasn’t afraid.

Luo Yumeng thought that Yan Huai obviously wanted to use these words to scare Di Chen away, but she knew that Di Chen would not leave.

The two elders behind Yan Huai naturally heard the meaning behind Yan Huai’s words and raised their eyebrows slightly. Although they did not wish for others to stay in Witch race, it was clear that the two did not pose a threat to Witch race.

“Di Chen, let’s go. I’ll bring you to rest,” Herba Hydrae did not let Di Chen stay any longer as he took Di Chen and Jie Qian away.

After all, Jie Wei was still young, and when he heard Yan Huai’s words, he became angry. Herba Hydrae was afraid that Jie Wei would rashly say something to offend Yan Huai, so he didn’t want Jie Wei to have too much contact with Yan Huai.

“It seems that there are a lot of changes this time around.” Elder Ting chuckled. In the past, Jie Wei was a cute and timid girl, but now, he was much more resolute.

Elder Hong was silent for a while before saying, “Since Jie Wei has already returned, let’s quickly decide on the position of the junior family head.”

These sudden words shocked Yan Huai and Yan Hui at the same time. Listening to what he said, he wanted Jie Wei to inherit the position of the junior family head?

It wasn’t easy for Yan Huai to snatch back the clan elder’s position, why should he give it to Jie Wei? He immediately objected: “Jie Wei is still young, it’s a little inappropriate to fix this position of junior family head right now, right?”

Elder Hong said calmly, “There’s nothing wrong with that. Back then, she was designated as the successor to the family head. Now that Jie Long is fifteen years old, she has the ability to inherit the family head position.”

If one wanted to inherit the position of the Clan Master, one needed to know magic, and Jie Long could be said to be a talented young lady who had a very strong comprehension of magic. With just a small age, she had already learned many spells, and the two elders decided to let Jie Gen inherit the position of Clan Master. No one could have imagined that Jie Gen’s father, the previous Clan Chief, would die in the attacks of other tribes, and Jie Gai had also left the Witch race.

“Jie Dui has already left for five years, who knows if her magic has improved. I think it’s time to select anew.”

At this time, Yan Hui suddenly retorted: “I believe my ability is no weaker than Jie Wei, I feel that I too have the qualifications to inherit the position of clan leader.”

Yan Hui was also a smart person. There were some things that were hard for Yan Huai to say, but as a junior, Yan Hui could just say them out loud. Moreover, no matter how Yan Hui said it, Jie Qian had left for a few years, so he didn’t really understand the Witch race.

When Elder Ting heard this, he frowned: “Yan Hui, I know that you have made great progress in these past few years, but do you really think that you can inherit the position of Patriarch?”

Yan Hui replied: “How do you know without giving it a try? Not to mention me, I think everyone in Witch race wants to inherit the position of Patriarch.”

At this point, he suddenly bowed to the two elders and said, “Patriarch, I have a suggestion. I would like to re-evaluate the position of the Patriarch’s successor.”

Back then, Jie Wei had the best talent among all the Witch race, which was why he wanted her to inherit the position of clan leader when she grew up. It was just that Jie Wei had left for too long, and suddenly coming back to inherit the position of clan leader was not really right.

“Alright, since that’s the case, let’s let the younger generation of Witch race have a try,” Elder Hong agreed in the end. He also wanted to see if Jie Duo had made any progress in these past few years.

Hearing this, Yan Hui’s face suddenly lit up. All these years, he had been working hard to cultivate his magic, so he believed that he had the ability to pass the examination.

Yan Huai also heaved a sigh of relief. He originally wanted Yan Hui to inherit the position of Patriarch, and it was a good thing that he could give Yan Hui a chance right now.

Elder Hong and Elder Ting immediately walked out to announce this matter to the Witch race.

There were many young people in Witch race who wanted to inherit the position, but did not have the chance. This time, the two elders gave them the chance, it was just that the two elders did not say what kind of assessment they would take, and only asked the younger generation of Witch race to prepare. Three days later would be the day of the assessment, and from the sounds of it, it was clear that the test was not simple, and they might even have their lives on the line.
