Ten seconds later, Gui Ying smiled in satisfaction. "Good. Since there are no objections, this meeting is concluded. Return to your duties."
At that, all members of the Gui Clan stood, clasped their hands, and spoke in unison: "Welcome back, Young Master Xiaoxu."
Pleased with their respect toward Gui Xiaoxu, Gui Ying snapped his fingers. In the next second, he vanished from the main hall together with Gui Xiaoxu.
The moment they disappeared, the elders gathered and whispered among themselves.
"This is not necessarily bad news," the Fourth Elder said thoughtfully.
The Sixth Elder nodded and sighed. "No wonder the Old Master's injuries never healed after he sent the Second Old Master away."
"It seems the Second Old Master's power didn't return to the Old Master, but was inherited by his descendant. If the Old Master can't retrieve that power, he won't survive the year."
Hearing this, the elders fell into heavy silence.
