Chapter 1818, Part 3: Everyone's overtures
"You! How dare you kill an elder of the Yan family right in front of us!" By the time the Yan family members realized what was happening, it was too late to stop it.
A perfectly healthy person was blown into a bloody mist.
This is blatant provocation! Absolutely!
"A life for a life, use your life to pay for it!" The head of the Yan family was furious.
The menacing-looking figure was about to grab Ruan Yu.
The elders of the Gu family rushed forward to protect her. Although they also disapproved of Ruan Yu killing someone over a few words, the deed was done, and no matter what, they were determined to protect Ruan Yu!
"Patriarch Yan, please calm down. This situation is not solely your fault, young friend Ruan. If your Yan family elders hadn't been so aggressive, things wouldn't have turned out this way..."
"Yes, our Yan family elders were indeed too harsh, but their crimes do not warrant death! She killed someone, so she must pay with her life!" The entire Yan family was furious.
Yan Xu quickly stepped forward to defend Ruan Yu: "Dear uncles and elders, please forgive Ruan Yu for my sake this time."
Although Ruan Yu was very grateful that Yan Xu stood by her side, the way he spoke made it seem like it was her fault.
If Elder Yan hadn't provoked her, would she have made a move?
Why don't these people reflect on their own problems?
"Yan Xu, don't be confused! This woman has committed heinous crimes and must be executed!"
"A heinous crime?" Ruan Yu laughed.
She only killed a foul-mouthed person, so how did she get labeled as a heinous criminal?
"Alright, then let me show you what true heinous crimes are." A fierce glint appeared in Ruan Yu's eyes.
Her aura surged, and summoning arrays suddenly appeared beneath her feet.
Everyone present was within her summoning circle, so shocked that they flew into the sky, their expressions filled with horror, as if they had seen something incredible.
"This...this...this is a summoning circle!"
"But why are there so many?"
"One, two, three... nine, ten!" One of them counted and almost fainted from excitement.
A full ten summoning circles! Ten elemental summoners!
Horror!
Let alone a ten-attribute summoner, they had never even seen a ten-attribute soul master before!
As the summoned beasts appeared one by one from the summoning circle, the already excited Gusu people were now trembling with excitement!
The head of the Gusu family flashed to stand behind Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu turned around and looked at him, puzzled.
The head of the Gusu family smiled gently: "Young friend, please don't misunderstand, I mean no harm."
The elders of the Gusu family also stood behind her one after another: "Young friend, your talent is exceptional. If you don't mind, how about coming to visit my Gusu family after this matter is settled?"
The head of the Yan family angrily pointed at the group of people from the Gusu family. Although the four families were openly fighting each other, they were actually very close friends behind the scenes.
Ruan Yu killed an elder of the Yan family, and not only did the Gusu family not help them teach her a lesson, they actually stood behind her! It's obvious they're going to back Ruan Yu up!
It's just a ten-attribute summoner, is it really that big of a deal?
The head of the Yan family was also very afraid, but he didn't say it. Once he did, the Yan family's momentum would be significantly diminished.
Ruan Yu's original intention was to establish friendly relations with the four major families and then naturally raise the issue of the Giant Realm. Now that the Gusu family has taken the initiative to show goodwill, why not accept it?
"The Gu Su family is the number one summoning family on the Ancient Road Continent, how could I possibly look down on them?"
Ruan Yu's answer satisfied the people of Gusu.
Very good, little girl, you're calm, collected, and know what's important.
They did not hold a grudge against the Yan family.
"Such a monstrous genius, instead of befriending him, you've made enemies with him. I really don't know what you Yan family members are thinking." The Yuan family members kindly reminded them as they walked past the Yan family members.
"Both the Gu family and the Gusu family are backing her up. It's just that one of the elders who had a loose tongue died. Don't let a small matter cause a big loss!"
The elders of the Yan family dared not utter a sound.
The head of the Yan family's eyes were practically spitting fire!
It's just that an elder with a foul mouth died.
Ha! How can they know pain if the sticks haven't landed on them? If it were an elder from the Yuan family or the Gusu family who died, would they still be so friendly?
Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the three great families are all on Ruan Yu's side. If he insists on seeking justice for the deceased elder, he will likely gain nothing.
And they will have to pay an even worse price for it!
"I apologize, but it was my Yan family elder who was at fault. He deserves to die! I hope you will accept this dragon crystal to appease your anger." After careful consideration, the Yan family head took a deep breath and took out a dragon crystal that shone with seven-colored light.
Dragon crystals can be used in medicine and for crafting weapons, provided they are handled properly. But... this dragon crystal wasn't handled at all.
Dragon crystal that hasn't been properly processed is just like a roadside stone.
This shows that the Yan family head was not sincerely apologizing.
Whether he was sincere or not, Ruan Yu didn't care.
Dragon crystals are very troublesome to handle, requiring the use of psychic power to cleanse them layer by layer. The dragon crystal in my hand is extremely large, which makes it correspondingly difficult to deal with.
It's likely that only a Transcendent God level expert could handle this. The Yan family head probably felt that he wouldn't be able to break through to Transcendent God level for a long time and wouldn't need this dragon crystal for the time being, so he gave it to her!
Fortunately, Ruan Yu's mental power far surpasses that of ordinary people. With her peak god-level cultivation, she was able to easily deal with the dragon crystal.
The actions of the Yan family head angered the other three families: "Old Yan, you should at least show some sincerity in your apology!"
"At least give me a piece of properly processed dragon crystal!"
The Yan family head said smugly, "This is the largest and most valuable dragon crystal I have. The other dragon crystals are too small and not presentable enough to be given away."
He glanced meaningfully at Ruan Yu, his eyes filled with obvious mockery.
Ruan Yu pretended not to see it, took the dragon crystal and stuffed it into her spatial storage: "Patriarch Yan is right, I want this one."
At the same time, the summoned beasts will also be recalled.
The Gusu clanswoman was admiring her summoned beast with great pleasure, her heart filled with emotion.
Before they could even get their fill of the game, all the summoned beasts disappeared.
They knew, of course, that Ruan Yu had summoned them back, but they were still very reluctant and regretful.
Yan Xu's face was so black it looked like ink was dripping from it. How shameful! So incredibly shameful!
How can the dignified head of the Yan family be so petty?
They apologized, but without any sincerity.
"Ruan Yu, I apologize to you on behalf of the Yan family." Ignoring the Yan family head's disapproving look, Yan Xu insisted on walking up to Ruan Yu and stuffing the spatial ring he had prepared for her into her hand.
He originally intended to give it to her when he confessed his feelings.
But that opportunity probably won't come.
Take this opportunity to express your feelings. Even if he doesn't accept them, he will have no regrets.
Ruan Yu scanned the spatial ring with her divine sense and was astonished by Yan Xu's extravagance. Besides various novel trinkets, there were also many priceless treasures, including two super artifacts!
