Kapitel 1412: Departure From The Secret Order (2)

Gu Ruoyun only smiled in a noncommittal way.

She definitely would not let the Clan Leader know that she had also received a most precious item other than comprehension from the inheritance!

This was a lifetime of experience from a peerless cultivator!

To her, this was the greatest of riches!

"Why have you summoned me here?"

Gu Ruoyun's eyes turned towards the Clan Leader's elderly features as she asked calmly.

"Little girl, I know that you have many dissatisfactions towards the Secret Order's decisions. For example, we had agreed to give the inheritance to you and then went back on our word." The Clan Leader sighed in exasperation. "However, I had no other choice either. Even though I am the Secret Order's Clan Leader, there is one person whose orders must be followed. That person is the Secret Order's Sacred Beast! The Sacred Beast had given the order to choose the heir on its own. Therefore, I had no choice."
