After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 745 Trading
However, these words startled all the elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and their faces immediately showed disapproval.

“Since ancient times, the phoenix has been the supreme ruler, with the huang (凰) above and the feng (凤) below. How can we let a tianfeng (天凤) take over the important affairs of the tianhuang clan?” The second elder under the clan leader was the first to express his disapproval.

Lin Zhao noticed the obvious disgust on the elder's face when he mentioned Tianfeng, and the hint of hostility in his gaze towards Lin Zhao because of Lin Zhao's suggestion.

At that moment, Lin Zhao suddenly heard a voice transmission in his ear.

Huang Yue told her, "The Fourth Elder had some grudges with Qu Shu's mother back then because her son liked Qu Shu's mother, but Qu Shu's mother fell in love with Qu Shu's father. Since he was not a celestial beast, she was very hostile towards Qu Shu."

Lin Zhao understood the source of the other party's hostility, so he said, "That has always been the case, but the situation has changed today. In addition, as the old saying goes, when one is in dire straits, one thinks of change. Shouldn't the elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan also consider the current situation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan? The Northern Region's Grand Selection is just around the corner. Apart from Qu Shu, does the Heavenly Phoenix Clan have any better candidates to fight for us now?"

The elders and patriarch of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan remained silent. Even the Fourth Elder nodded. Although she had a problem with Qu Shu's mother and didn't have a good impression of Qu Shu as a result, she wouldn't deny the facts.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief sighed, shook his head, and finally said, "Qu Shu is quite talented, and he should indeed be given some power."

Upon hearing the clan leader's words, before the other elders could even frown, Lin Zhao was the first to become anxious.

Based on her understanding of these old folks, the clan chief must have said more than just that to agree to her request.

As expected, the clan leader then spoke up: "We are willing to give Qu Shu more power, but we would like to trouble our young friend Lin Zhao to lead our Tianhuang Clan in the upcoming Northern Region election as the new young master of the Tianhuang Clan."

Although Lin Zhao had long guessed that the Tianhuang Clan Chief would ask her to represent the Tianhuang Clan in this Northern Region election, and she had also planned to use this as leverage to get back what she had promised Qu Shu, she did not expect the Chief to suggest that she participate in the war as the young master of the Tianhuang Clan.

Lin Zhao subconsciously looked at Huang Yue, the rightful young master of the Tianhuang Clan.

Huang Yue met Lin Zhao's somewhat worried gaze, smiled, and felt even more favorably toward Lin Zhao.

Although he didn't care much about the position of young master, the fact that Lin Zhao considered his feelings showed that Lin Zhao was not a bad person.

No wonder that little fox took a liking to her.

"My position as the young master was merely a stopgap measure after Aunt Huangzhao passed away. In terms of talent alone, I am no match for any previous generation of young masters of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Now that I have handed over this position, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Lin Zhao hadn't expected Huang Yue to be so open-minded, but there were still some issues involved.

Lin Zhao looked at the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief: "Clan Chief, Lin Zhao is not a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Can I represent the young master of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"

Forcibly joining the Phoenix Clan might not elicit any complaints, but speaking on behalf of the young master...

Lin Zhao wasn't so sure.

After all, he wasn't a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. On the other hand, even though the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had declined, the pride of its younger generation remained, and they might not necessarily submit to him, this suddenly appearing young master.

The patriarch of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan waved his hand, "It's nothing. Lin Zhao has been on our Heavenly Phoenix Clan's genealogy ever since he was able to summon the Heavenly Phoenix Dharma Body. In addition, with the Ancient Phoenix Luck on him, no one in the Upper or Lower Realms would deny the relationship between Lin Zhao and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan."

As he spoke, the clan leader's expression turned strange for a moment: "If all else fails, young friend Lin Zhao can join the Heavenly Phoenix Clan in another way. If we old folks haven't misjudged before, young friend Lin Zhao and Qu Shu were engaged in the past?"

Lin Zhao knew he couldn't hide it from these old guys, so he nodded awkwardly. "I came here today to explain this matter clearly. The responsibility for the formation and dissolution of this engagement rests entirely with Lin Zhao, and Lin Zhao will also bear all the consequences."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder, whether out of sarcasm or genuine feeling, remarked, "His Majesty Lin Zhao is truly deeply devoted."

These words startled Lin Zhao so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.

If I were all alone before, that would be fine, but now I have a partner and a daughter, so I can't let people talk nonsense about me.

"This is an agreement I made with Qu Shu before." Lin Zhao recalled his youth in his previous life and sighed, "I have to take responsibility for my actions. If it is something I should bear, I will not back down. If the Heavenly Phoenix Clan does not mind, then I am willing to participate in the Northern Region Grand Competition as the young master of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan."

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief looked at Lin Zhao for a while, and after confirming that Lin Zhao was not capable of bringing her and Qu Shu together, he couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, from the very beginning, after learning that Lin Zhao could use the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword at will, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had no intention of stopping her and Qu Shu.

However, having come this far, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan couldn't force the issue.

After all, even if it is a Heavenly Phoenix, it is still a member of their Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Even if it has fallen on hard times, it has no intention of rushing to become a Daoist partner with anyone.

"In that case, we'll leave the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's selection in the Northern Region to our young friend Lin Zhao. As for the cost, you're too kind. We old folks have nothing to worry about. It's just that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has always been a clan that sticks to one lineage, so I'm afraid... But that child has been unconventional since childhood, so perhaps he has his own plans."

After all, it's unprecedented for a Heavenly Phoenix to reach the status of Qu Shu.

At Lin Zhao's request, Qu Shu has almost the same rights and status as the Heavenly Phoenix. Coupled with his own methods and cultivation, it is not impossible for him to secure the position of the future leader of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

It should be noted that even the Ancestral Phoenix couldn't achieve this, so Qu Shu's breakthrough for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is unprecedented.

After Qu Shu, the status of the Heavenly Phoenix of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is probably not so low anymore.

Thinking of this, the elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan all had different expressions.

They weren't narrow-minded; they were just too conservative and worried that it might cause trouble.

The Sixth Elder, standing next to the Fourth Elder, was the most inflexible. Although she saw that the clan leader had agreed, she didn't really approve of the proposal. However, she held back for the sake of the upcoming election for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

"However, if young friend Lin Zhao is willing to help," the clan leader changed the subject, "I wonder if you could sell some of the furnace and Qiankun Mirror you researched in the lower realm to our Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"

At this point, the patriarch of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan couldn't help but hold his breath.

Hope also shone in the eyes of the other elders.

Lin Zhao, under the intense gaze of everyone, gave a wry smile.

Sure enough, that's the key point.
