"Sister Nuan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"
Hua Qiluo carefully tugged on Gu Chunuan's sleeves, feeling that something was wrong with her face.
"Is it because I was disobedient and came to the Jade Clan privately? You can't blame me this time. It was the elders of the Jade Clan who brought me here. If you don't believe it, you can ask Sister Bai Jin. Sister Bai, please tell Sister Nuan,
I really didn’t come here because I was naughty this time.”
Gu Chunuan touched her little head and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Sister Nuan won't blame you. Just treat this place as your own home. You can go and play wherever you want. But...except for me, you don't want to listen to anyone else. You don't want to do anything they ask you to do."
Do."
Gu Chunuan seemed to be talking to Hua Qiluo, but in fact, her piercing eyes were always staring at Bai Jin.
Bai Jin's heart moved, and he vaguely understood something in his heart. He clasped his fists and said, "I understand, master. Don't worry, the Ice Clan is only loyal to you and will not listen to anyone else except you."
"Um……"
Gu Chunuan said dullly and went back to look for the great elder.
Hua Qiluo looked at her retreating back, put her hand in her mouth and sucked, and asked, "Sister Bai, do you feel that Sister Nuan's back is heavy? Does she have something on her mind?"
"Probably...it's because of Longzhu or Ye Jinghan."
"Really, why did Ye Jinghan become Sister Nuan's brother? Sister Nuan is so pitiful. The Dragon Balls can't be fused now. No wonder Sister Nuan is so sad. How about we go comfort her."
"Some things can't be solved without comfort, just like the Jade Clan's blood curse... As the clan leader, she has to take on all responsibilities. No matter what the price of merging the Dragon Balls is, she... can only bear it.
"
Bai Jin's vision was a little dazed. Looking at the long gone figure, there was sadness, reluctance, sadness, and determination in his eyes.
Hua Qiluo didn't seem to understand, so she simply went to play with Yin'er.
In the medicine hall, the posture of the great elder was still exactly the same as when Gu Chunuan left.
Gu Chunuan pushed open the door and spoke directly, showing no respect for the great elder, "Open the entrance to the Jade Clan. I want Bai Jin and the others to leave."
"There is a dragon-breaking stone at the entrance to the Jade Clan. If one block is closed, it will take at least a month to open. After closing two blocks, it will take at least a year to open. If three blocks are closed, the entrance to the Jade Clan will never be able to be opened forever."
"I'll let you open it."
"It can't be opened, even if it's level seven, it can't be opened."
"Isn't there several roads in the Jade Clan? Where are the other entrances and exits?"
"Everyone put down the Dragon Breaking Stone."
Gu Chunuan sneered, "So, you prepared everything early and planned to force me to let Bai Jin sacrifice, right?"
A flash of sad pain flashed in the great elder's eyes. He hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and lowered his head.
"Even if you trap them here, I can't possibly sacrifice them."
"Bang……"
The second elder suddenly opened the door and barged in. He spoke loudly and pushed hard.
"Patriarch, I'm very sorry. I just came to the medicine hall to visit the great elder, but I fainted in the room due to an old illness. I accidentally overheard all your conversations later."
"Second brother..." The elder became angry and pulled at the wound, which made him gasp in pain.
The second elder knelt down with a plop and said sadly, "In order to gather all the dragon beads, how many people from our Jade clan have died over thousands of years? But everyone is willing, as long as they can break the blood curse. This time, in order to snatch the seventh one
"Longzhu, how many disciples have died in the clan. Now that we have finally gathered them all, we have to give up. My subordinates are unwilling to give up."
"If Yi Chenfei and Miss Bai Jin knew that sacrificing the two of them could save thousands of people in the clan, they would be willing to jump out of the alchemy furnace. I beg the clan leader to put the overall situation first."
Gu Chunuan took a step back and weakly held on to the window lattice to barely stand still.
"So, you are forcing me to kill people?"
"I'm not forcing you to kill people. I went to beg them myself. Afterwards... I also committed suicide in front of the alchemy furnace to pay for them with my life. I beg my master to put the overall situation first."
As the second elder spoke, he kowtowed so hard that his forehead bled.
He is an elderly man with white beard and white hair, while Gu Chunuan is just a young girl under twenty, in her prime.
The old man begged the girl on his knees, which looked awkward.
But the second elder seemed to be grasping at the last straw and kept pleading.
The great elder was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, "Second brother, get up here. Whether you want to fuse the dragon beads or not, the clan leader will decide what to do. I don't allow you to interfere with the clan leader."
"Great Elder, we have worked so hard and sacrificed so much just to break the blood curse. Now that hope is right in front of us, how can we..."
"I have said that no one of you is allowed to interfere with the clan leader's decision. If you continue to be stubborn, I will expel you from the Jade clan."
"Great Elder..."
Gu Chunuan looked out and saw that one of them was wearing a bad face and the other was playing a white face.
"I still say the same thing. If you dare to leak this matter, especially to Brother Chen Fei and Bai Jin, don't blame me for turning against others. Don't forget that except for me, who can fuse the Dragon Ball, others can't fuse it at all. I'm going to die.
No one of them can have an easy time."
"Clan leader, sacrifice two people to save the entire clan. They died gloriously."
"No one has the right to take their lives."
Gu Chunuan gave a cold warning and broke out of the door, leaving the first elder and the second elder in shock and pain.
After their quarrel, the atmosphere in the Jade clan became a little subtle, and even the common people noticed that something was not right about the atmosphere.
Elder Baicao and others were even more confused.
After going out, Gu Chunuan scanned around and didn't see the demon lord's little puppy, so he simply walked towards his cabin.
Ye Jinghan was placed in her small house, and the three floors inside and three floors outside were placed under house arrest.
Unexpectedly, Wen Shaoyi was put down on the rack at some point and placed under house arrest next to her hut.
He was chained to a thousand-year-old ice chain, one end connected to his right leg, and the other end connected to the forbidden dragon-breaking stone next to the hut.
The forbidden area next to her hut has only been accessible to the clan leaders in the past. No one knows what is in the forbidden area. They only know that the Dragon Breaking Stone outside the forbidden area is indestructible and cannot be shaken by external forces.
However, everyone can probably guess that the forbidden area should also be a secret passage. If a strong enemy breaks in, you can escape inside by putting down the Dragon Breaking Stone. This is to protect the clan leader's forbidden area.
Gu Chunuan thought so before, and even went in to explore a lot, but later found that it was a place for martial arts training, and there was no secret entrance or exit at all.
Probably the ancestors didn't want people to disturb their martial arts practice, so they installed the Dragon-Breaking Stone.
Wen Shaoyi leaned against the corner weakly, blood on his body constantly overflowing from his red-stained white clothes.
His body was covered with numerous wounds, with almost no intact place. Even the masked face of the Exiled Immortal had been slashed several times at the exposed corners of his eyes.
The incision was deep, blood was still flowing, and I didn't know if it would leave any scars.
