Chapter 1621: What Is Your Relationship With Kong shi?
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
Zhang Xuan could see Luo Ganzhen and the other elders' point, and that was precisely why he found it difficult to turn them down.
Putting aside the vengeance against Zhang Xuan, this was also an ideal opportunity to build up Luo Tianya's reputation. Luo Tianya might have become the head of the Luo Clan, but the world was still ignorant of who he was and what he was capable of.
Who else would serve as a better stepping stone to build Luo Tianya's reputation than the celebrated young prodigy of the Zhang Clan, whose name had been hanging on the tip of everyone's tongue in recent days?
In this moment of frustration, Zhang Xuan caught sight of Luo Ruoxin in his peripheral vision. There was a dazzling smile on her face—he had no recollection of seeing such a bright smile on her placid face before.
In an instant, Zhang Xuan felt even more frustrated.
Aren't you my girlfriend? Aren't you supposed to support me in my time of distress? How can you remain silent after seeing all this?
Just as Zhang Xuan had no idea how he should respond to the expectant faces around him, he suddenly heard a telepathic message from Luo Ruoxin. "Actually, I think it would be better for you to agree to their request."
"Agree to their request?" Zhang Xuan's face twitched. "You want me to beat myself up?"
"That's not it. You should lead them first to the Zhang Clan, find a suitable moment to reveal your identity, and force the two clans to sit down and resolve the situation peacefully. Otherwise, given the hostility the Luo Clan bears toward the Zhang Clan, the more you compensate them, the more weapons they will have at their disposal to use against the Zhang Clan. In the worst-case scenario, the Luo Clan might even feel prompted to start a war with their newfound power. It won't be easy to reconcile the two clans, but you can't keep putting it off either," Luo Ruoxin explained.
"This..." Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
Ruoxin's words made sense.
The Luo Clan had a deep grudge against the Zhang Clan. While it was out of goodwill that he wanted to compensate the Luo Clan for their loss, such an action was actually no different from stoking their desire for vengeance. Not only would it not resolve the conflict, it would only worsen it!
Since our Luo Clan is already strong enough by ourselves, why should we reconcile with the Zhang Clan? Such poisonous thoughts could very well take root within the Luo Clan.
If Zhang Xuan left things as they were, it would only be a matter of time before a fight broke out between the two clans. Instead of allowing this volatile situation to continue, he might as well resolve it once and for all!
After all, he could not possibly keep alternating between Luo Tianya and Zhang Xuan! He would die of exhaustion that way!
"I guess there's no other way..." Having thought the matter through, as frustrated as Zhang Xuan was, he eventually gave his nod of approval. "Very well, I'll agree to your request. Let's head to the Zhang Clan right now!"
"Woohoo! Off to the Zhang Clan we go!"
"Kick Zhang Xuan's ass!"
"Kill that pathetic excuse of a man!"
...
The elders cheered in delight.
"..." Zhang Xuan.
