Ms. Doctor Divine

Ziluo gazed at Kang Yan as if he were an incredibly naive individual.

He seemed to have genuinely pondered the situation.

Why did Ziluo agree to marry him in the first place?

It was because the First Elder held significant power and was confident in securing the future position of Clan Leader. Given Kang Yan’s decent cultivation, it made sense for him to be the future leader.

Her marriage had been a strategic move for the benefit of the True Martial Race.

But now?

It meant relying on the people of the True Martial Race to aid Kang Yan.

If successful, the Anicca Race would be brought down for him.

If unsuccessful, the True Martial Race would also suffer.

Kang Yan had indeed thought this through.

“Alright, let’s return and discuss it with Father,” Ziluo casually agreed, seemingly not giving much thought to the matter.

Kang Yan’s happiness was evident.

She agreed.

That meant there was still hope.

Even if he couldn’t take immediate action, having Ziluo by his side would secure his status in the True Martial Race. He wouldn’t face any injustices.

With this in mind, Kang Yan felt content.

“Let’s head back now. No need to wait for anything. If we delay, Kang Shi might catch wind of it, and leaving could become problematic,” Kang Yan suggested to Ziluo.

Ziluo nodded. “Let’s go.”

Excitement bubbled within Kang Yan as he swiftly led her away.

He was well aware that the person obstructing Ziluo was one of his father’s subordinates. If he gave the order, they wouldn’t persist in stopping them. The key lay in whether he was willing to grant permission.

Exiting turned out to be relatively straightforward; it hinged on his willingness.

Kang Yan guided Ziluo out, but the guards at the Anicca Race gate exchanged glances and blocked their path.

Kang Yan looked at them, signaling, “You can let us through now.”

The guardians stared back, unsure of whether to comply. It seemed challenging for them.

After discussing among themselves, they decided to report the situation.

Kang Yan furrowed his brows, a hint of displeasure on his face. He couldn’t fathom why they didn’t comprehend his directive. He had clearly stated it was fine. How could they miss the message?

These individuals were all loyal to his father. If they followed his father’s orders, they should naturally heed him as well.

The messenger who reported the situation found Kang Shi and inquired, “Young Master Kang Shi, should we allow them to pass?”

“Let them go,” Kang Shi replied.

“Understood.” The messenger promptly executed the order.

Kang Yan had assumed that the reluctance to let Ziluo leave was due to a lack of willingness on his part. As long as he wanted to, they could depart. Unbeknownst to him, the mastermind behind this obstacle was Kang Shi.

Kang Shi’s intention was clear – he didn’t want them to leave, and thus, they were held back.

“You are free to leave now.” The guards, following Kang Shi’s instructions, permitted their passage. Only then did Kang Yan feel a flicker of relief.

He was certain of it.

Being one of his father’s loyalists, how could he defy his orders?

“See, even if something were to happen to Father, there are numerous individuals loyal to him. Within the Anicca Race, they are bound to follow my lead,” Kang Yan asserted with pride.

Ziluo pursed her lips but remained silent.

She had to endure for now. Once they reached the True Martial Race, she would have the freedom to act as she pleased. As for Kang Yan, she intended to settle the score.

The two of them returned.

During the journey, Kang Yan continued pondering how to broach the subject with the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race.

Ideally, he wanted to expedite the pursuit of justice.
