“The Clan Leader of the True Martial Race is so astute. Having held the position for so long, how could he not have considered these aspects? He even preconceived them before I did. How long can he tolerate my presence?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
“It doesn’t lead to a favorable outcome either way. I might as well not be deferential to him. We’ve become apparent adversaries, but he’s exercising restraint. If something were to happen to me, wouldn’t suspicion naturally fall on him?”
“I’m simply taking a gamble,” Gu Chaoyan remarked with a smile.
The overseer of the medicinal field gazed at her, suddenly struck with awe.
This Kang Shi.
Despite limited strides in cultivation, his intellect remained that of a prodigy. Furthermore, he was adept at manipulating situations like this.
In the future, he might genuinely set himself apart from the rest.
This disciple now recognized more facets of Kang Shi’s capabilities.
Deciding to seize this opportunity to align himself with Kang Shi, he understood that for his own future, it was worth a try. Without opportunities, everything he did in life would likely follow the same pattern. The future held uncertainties, contingent on the availability of opportunities.
“Gao Zhuo, call me Gao Zhuo from now on. Entrust the matter of the pills to me. If we collaborate effectively, our chances of survival will surely improve,” declared Gao Zhuo, as if envisioning a distant future.
Gu Chaoyan smiled faintly, sensing that her strategy had succeeded.
Part of the reason behind her earlier words was, in fact, for this individual to overhear. She didn’t genuinely hold that perspective.
Gradually establishing a foothold in the Anicca Race was Kang Shi’s aim. Relying solely on his strength had its limitations. To expand influence, he needed to gather more individuals to his side.
This Gao Zhuo.
He might not be a virtuous individual.
However, he possessed foresight and ambition.
That was sufficient. It suited her purpose perfectly.
As long as Gao Zhuo remained loyal, she pledged to provide him with a fitting reward before her departure.
His introduction of his name today signified his genuine desire to ally with her and his approval of her. Gu Chaoyan found herself in good spirits.
“Alright, I’ll entrust the pills to you. We can discuss the next steps later,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
“Okay!” Gao Zhuo agreed with a smile.
The two of them continued to indulge in food and drink without engaging in any unnecessary actions.
Contrary to the concerns of Kang Yan, Ziluo, and the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race, nothing unfolded as they feared. Kang Shi remained as composed as if he had never been engaged to Ziluo.
His inaction further irked Kang Yan and Ziluo.
After all, there were numerous motives behind Kang Yan’s desire to marry Ziluo. He sought to compete with the Clan Leader’s son, who was once a prodigy. This turn of events did not stir any joy in him, as his goal had not been achieved.
As for Ziluo, she questioned whether she was not as alluring as she had presumed. After all, Kang Shi and the Anicca Clan’s patriarch had pleaded with her so earnestly. She had thought…
The two of them entered matrimony with a sense of disappointment.
When the time came for the bridal chamber, others withdrew.
Following that, Ziluo remained in the Anicca Race. The Clan Leader of the True Martial Race departed early the next morning, citing an urgent matter in the clan.
The alterations within the Anicca Race were confined to the First Elder’s household, while the rest returned to their usual routines.
Gao Zhuo assembled a group of people.
