Chapter 391: Snatching the Alliance Head’s position
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue had no interest in the position of Alliance Head. However, she definitely could not let the Nalan Clansmen become the Alliance Head. Otherwise, the Sima Clan would be in danger.
As a result, when she heard Nalan Clan Leader’s question, she refuted, “It’s not important whether or not I have experience as long as I have Halcyon’s trust.”
After speaking, she even called Halcyon out. The moment Halcyon appeared, his sacred beast aura enveloped the entire hall.
Then expressions of the Nalan clansmen turned dark when they saw Halcyon. The moment he appeared, the possibility of them obtaining the position of Alliance Head was uncertain.
Sima You Yue saw the way the Nalan clansmen were behaving, and gifted to them a wide grin, saying, “Furthermore, if I become Alliance Head, I will naturally listen to everyone’s opinion. I won’t act based on my will alone.”
After speaking, she glanced at Li Clan Leader.
Li Clan Leader went stiff and said, “We support Little Friend You Yue.”
“We support Little Friend You Yue as well.” Sang Clan Leader affirmed.
The Huo clan expressed their support for Sima You Yue too.
“We also support You Yue.” The always-silent South Eclipse King voiced out.
“We do too.” West Moon’s royal family said.
The ones who had supposed Elder Nalan earlier, were those who the Nalan clanmen had arranged beforehand. They were the powers that had usually mingled with them. The important powers had not said a single word at all.
Right now, they unanimously expressed support for Sima You Yue. This caused the Nalan clansmen to show extremely dark expressions.
This was a huge slap to their faces!
Those who had always interacted with the other great clans, saw that their elders had expressed their support and successively expressed that they were willing to support Sima You Yue as well.
Sima You Yue saw that the Nalan clan leader’s face has turned so red that it looked like he was about to explode. She said, “It looks like more than half of them have agreed? Since this is the case, it would only be respectful for me to accept. I will be the Alliance Head of our alliance this time.”
“Greetings to Alliance Head.” Some of them greeted her. Even the Huo and Sang clan leaders nodded towards her. It could be counted as their acceptance of her current status.
Although the Nalan Clan objected again, they had no way of overthrowing everyone’s choice. They could only acknowledge her status.
“I heard that Clan Leader had left the Yi Lin continent before and merely came back a few days before. I suppose that you don’t understand the current situation? How then would you plan to arrange the people in the respective powers?” Nalan Clan Leader asked her a difficult question.
“I was just about to say this. Nalan Clan Leader has asked it, so it seems that you are rather worried about this.” Sima You Yue smiled, saying, “Just as Nalan Clan Leader said before, being the Alliance Head, apart from having Halcyon’s trust, I don’t have the hundred years of experience as you do. As such, I plan on having a representative leader who will arrange everything. When I am not around, I plan on letting him decide.”
When Sima Tai heard what she said, he had the sudden feeling that something was not right.
As expected, Sima You Yue’s following words affirmed his gut feeling.
“My clan’s clan leader is strong and his ability speaks for itself. As such, I plan to appoint him to represent the Main Leader. I assume that nobody has any issue?” Sima You Yue said.
Although everyone wanted to say that they had issues with it, the position of Alliance Head had already been given to the Sima clan. Wasn’t this a monopoly?
However, seeing Halcyon, who was by her side, they swallowed their words. The words that came out instead merely expressed that they had no objections.
“Since this is the case, then it’s decided. Halcyon will take the responsibility Alliance Head. If you are not willing to listen to his arrangement, it will be taken as a provocation.” Sima You Yue said, “Furthermore, the Alliance Head is in charge of all the arrangements. He has my authority when I am not around. I hope that everyone will comply.”
“Yes yes yes, of course, of course.”
Sima You Yue looked looked around and it was as if she was speaking about someone in particular when she said, “I’ll say all the crude words at the front. If anyone causes a disaster just because they want to defy the Alliance Head’s instruction, don’t turn around and blame me for saying x y z. Halcyon and I are not people who have good tempers and some disastrous event might happen. You all better not blame me for not warning you.”
“...”
Everyone was speechless. This was an unveiled threat. Couldn’t she have said it a little nicer as the Alliance Head?
“We understand Alliance Head’s meaning.” Nalan Clan Leader said unhappily. “However, since everyone has come here to discuss how to deal with those sea beasts, what plan does Alliance Head have in mind?”
“Nalan Clan Leader, Alliance Head already said just now that the arrangements and plans would be done by Alliance Head. You’re asking this now just to make things difficult for Alliance Head. Or are you saying that you didn’t hear Alliance Head’s instructions?” Huo Clan Leader asked.
“How could I not have heard what he said? I merely feel that it would be better for Allice Head to explain it better. He’s taking this position, but doesn’t know how things had unfolded. How is he going to convince the other spirit masters?” Nalan Clan Leader retorted.
Sima You Yue smiled, saying, “Nalan Clan Leader is right. However, it’s not as if I don’t know anything.”
“Then how much does Alliance Head know?”
“Coincidentally, I happen to be the only one who noticed the abnormality of the sea.” Sima You Yue said, “Three years ago, my grandfather and I happened to go back to the clan with some other people. There was once that we were looking for a few pill ingredients at Forgotten Worry Island, and happened to have encountered this situation…”
She recounted what had happened, causing everyone onsite to feel the terrifying power of that black ray.
“It just so happens that because of that incident, the Sima Clan realised that the sea has not been peaceful these few years. I believe my Clan Leader has more authority to speak on this.” Sima You Yue continued to say.
“That’s right.” Sima Tai followed up, saying, “At that time, we didn’t say this because the situation was too frightening. We did not dare speak lightly of it, in fear that we would scare everyone.”
“Then, why would you speak of it now?” Someone asked.
“Because Alliance Head has returned.” Sima Tai glanced at everyone, saying, “If Alliance Head didn’t return and we didn’t have his sacred beast, who would dare to meddle in this?”
It was true when they thought about it. They couldn’t even go ten thousand miles into the sea, much less enter Forgotten Worry Island.
“However, whether or not this is the reason for the Sea Beast’s rampaging still requires more research.” Sima You Yue said. “The ocean has always been calm, but there must be a reason why this kind of situation has suddenly occurred. We will only be able to settle this if we can find out the reason why. I have decided to take Halcyon to the sea to investigate. You all must guard the ocean. We do not want to see that this place has already disappeared by the time we return.”
“Alliance Head, you can relax. We will definitely use every ounce of our strength to protect this continent.” Someone expressed.
“Alliance Head will face great dangers. I wonder who you are taking with you?” Sang Qiong Li asked.
“The road ahead is dangerous, so I want to do my best to bring as little people as possible.” Sima You Yue said after consideration. “Initially, I wanted to go alone. If the average person comes along, they will only drag me down. However, now that I’ve seen Elder Nalan, I wish to ask her to come with me. I wonder if Elder will be willing to be a part of the strength that will investigate this situation?”
