Chapter 2480: Demon Clan 12

This shift in mood was all thanks to the Dao Child of the Demon Clan’s capricious nature. Despite his fervent enthusiasm the previous day, today, he maintained a stoic silence.

It was perplexing.

Could this be a trait common among the Demon Clan?

Gu Chaoyan dismissed the thought with a slight shake of her head.

Now free of the necklace, Gu Chaoyan regarded the Dao Child of the Demon Clan with a serious gaze.

She sought to discern his purpose for being here.

Likewise, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan observed her calmly.

Having received news of the Clan Leader’s return after a millennium of absence, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan shared the elders’ cautious approach. The Clan Leader’s sudden reappearance warranted careful investigation to ensure it was the genuine leader and not an imposter with ill intentions.

Upon arrival, the Clan Leader immediately recognized him as his younger brother, leaving the Dao Child of the Demon Clan uncertain about his course of action. Should he exploit his role as the younger brother to scrutinize her further, or should he straightforwardly reveal that he was not her younger brother?

“Why are you staring at me? Just tell me what you want to say,” Gu Chaoyan demanded fiercely.

Despite the Dao Child of the Demon Clan’s formidable cultivation, standing as one of the top figures in the Demon Clan, Gu Chaoyan asserted her authority as the Clan Leader. She made it clear that, in her presence, he should not be treated merely as the Dao Child of the Demon Clan.

Gu Chaoyan’s willfulness in front of the Dao Child of Demon Clan stemmed from the imperative need to safeguard her identity. Fearful of exposure, she found it preferable to risk offending the Dao Child of Demon Clan rather than jeopardizing her secret.

After all, she held the position of Clan Leader, and he would not dare to take any drastic actions against her.

The Dao Child of Demon Clan found the situation strangely familiar. In the past, when the Clan Leader was present, he exhibited similar behavior—unable to distinguish between brothers and frequently displaying impatience and fierceness. The Clan Leader’s bold and willful demeanor remained unchanged.

However…

The Dao Child of Demon Clan sensed a disparity in the current Clan Leader’s aura. It lacked the same formidable presence as before. There were discernible differences.

Acknowledging half of the situation, he believed the other half warranted further scrutiny. Only then would he feel comfortable relinquishing control to the Clan Leader and entrusting the fate of the Demon Clan.

“The Human Clan’s Patriarch, Chengze, is about to celebrate his birthday. As you’re aware, the Human Clan is entangled in myriad complicated affairs. We’re obliged to extend invitations to various clans for his birthday celebration. Despite our Demon Clan’s decline, we still received an invitation.”

“Initially, in your absence, the Demon Clan intended to send the First Elder to attend the banquet. However, now that you’ve returned, Clan Leader, it is expected that you personally attend the birthday celebration for the Human Clan’s Leader.”

“The elders were unaware of this news yesterday; they specifically came today to inform you, Clan Leader,” the Dao Child of Demon Clan conveyed with gravity.

The tone was somber, lacking any trace of humor, signifying a significant shift from their previous interactions.

Gu Chaoyan regarded the Dao Child of Demon Clan with suspicion.

Could it be that this Dao Child of Demon Clan had two personas?

During inconsequential moments for the Demon Clan, he presented himself as a playful young boy. Yet, when the clan faced critical matters, he reverted to a serious demeanor?
