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

Chapter 747 Agreed
The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief immediately frowned and said, "Fourth Brother, shut up! Huang Zhao's situation is her own fault, and no one else is to blame!"

The Fourth Elder was embarrassed in front of the two juniors, Lin Zhao and Huang Yue, and was a little unhappy. He couldn't help but mutter, "That sounds nice, but haven't you tacitly approved how the clan has treated Qu Shu all these years?"

Although Qu Shu was someone they had watched grow up and was the most talented among the younger generation of the Tianhuang clan, for various reasons, the child was neglected from a young age. In fact, due to the adults' attitudes, the children's malice was directed at Qu Shu, almost causing the young Qu Shu to die on the spot.

If Qu Shu's uncle hadn't noticed that Qu Shu was in very poor condition and taken her to be cared for, the child probably wouldn't have lived this long.

They only remembered how amazing the child's mother's talent was after they discovered Qu Shu's lineage.

Yet this brilliant young master fell for Qu Shu's father, a divine beast with an inconspicuous bloodline. Ignoring the future of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, he eloped with Qu Shu's father, completely disregarding the clan's development. In the end, he gave birth to Qu Shu outside the clan, and his body was not even buried in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's cemetery.

Therefore, upon seeing Qu Shu's talent, while they missed Qu Shu's mother, they also loathed the child's father's humility and the mother's arrogance.

Even the patriarch of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has wondered more than once whether everything would be different for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan if Huang Zhao were still alive.

But all of this was just an illusion. After repeated blows, they could only realize that the Phoenix Clan was declining little by little, and that if they wanted to save themselves, they had to let go of some of their previous prejudices.

Therefore, when Qu Shu was constantly involved in internal disputes of the Tianhuang Clan, the Tianhuang Clan Chief tacitly allowed Qu Shu to participate in Tianhuang Clan politics through some underhanded means. After Qu Shu's uncle brought back the Thousand Autumn Flower to improve Huang Yue's aptitude, she even reluctantly accepted Huang Zhao's relocation back to the Tianhuang Cemetery.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief knew perfectly well how much effort Qu Shu had put into all of this, but he never revealed it.

Firstly, she acknowledged Qu Shu's intelligence and ability, and wanted to use this intelligence and ability to contribute to the Tianhuang Clan. Secondly, she was unwilling to give Qu Shu the right to discuss matters openly and honestly.

Therefore, before Lin Zhao arrived, Qu Shu could only participate in family affairs through these means. After Lin Zhao's arrival, it was probably only a matter of time before the Tianhuang Clan changed hands to Qu Shu.

but……

Noticing the terrifying aura that Lin Zhao was hiding, and the fact that Lin Zhao herself was unknowingly protecting Qu Shu, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief sighed.

If this can elevate the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to a higher level, then it is only right to change the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's rules.

After all, rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

"Let's do as young friend Lin Zhao said. Qu Shu does indeed have the ability," the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief said in a dry voice.

After she finished speaking, Huang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, while the other elders remained silent.

To be honest, they never imagined that the son of that lowly celestial beast would have a chance to rise again.

If Qu Shu were a Heavenly Phoenix, that would be one thing, but she's just a Heavenly Phoenix. Why should she be allowed to be one?

The elders pondered quietly, but when they met Lin Zhao's gaze, they dared not utter any words detrimental to Qu Shu. Lin Zhao and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan talked for a while longer, roughly understanding some of the basic rules of the Northern Region selection and knowing their own status in the battle. The topic then shifted to the forging and handover times of the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror.

"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. I hope the clan can arrange a place for me to stay. I will start preparing as soon as I get back. When we participate in the Northern Region Selection, the clan can start hunting for evil thoughts from other worlds to strengthen the clan's foundation. Strengthening the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is indeed an imperative."

Although Lin Zhao didn't think much of the stubbornness and rigidity of the elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, he had to admit that although these elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had some selfish motives, they were ultimately willing to make concessions for the development of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and could see the long-term aspects, which was enough to make them trustworthy.

Moreover, the Heavenly Phoenix is ​​a race with an absolute world will. Once they become powerful, their impact on evil thoughts from other worlds is unimaginable.

Both morally and logically, Lin Zhao would not hesitate to offer help.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief was surprised for a moment; she thought Lin Zhao would put on airs for a while.

Lin Zhao seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled, "Back when I was in the lower realm, I received a lot of care from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Besides fulfilling my promise to Qu Shu, I also want to repay the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's kindness this time."

The appearance of Huang Yue back then would not have been possible without the tacit approval of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

After learning about his relationship with Qu Shu, he didn't hold a grudge against him because of his identity or Qu Shu's past relationship with Huang Yue. Lin Zhao saw these things clearly. The Tianhuang Clan was indeed a reasonable race when it came to matters of principle.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief understood Lin Zhao's meaning and shook his head with a smile.

Back then, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Lin Zhao's rise to power was a foregone conclusion. Even if it had been someone from another race, if it hadn't been the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, they would have undoubtedly helped Lin Zhao.

Furthermore, Qu Shu's status within their clan, although he was the young master's fiancé at the time, was not really that of a princess like Lin Zhaoxiang. They wouldn't risk offending Lin Zhao, who already had the potential to become a phoenix, for the sake of Qu Shu. The Heavenly Phoenix Clan may have declined, but it hasn't gone blind; it still has the necessary perspective.

"It's thanks to your own hard work, young friend. Also... to be honest, although our Heavenly Phoenix Clan has always believed that the strongest Heavenly Phoenix is ​​meant to be given to the strongest Heavenly Phoenix, we won't force a relationship if neither party is willing."

Wasn't that how Qu Shu's mother was back then? She didn't like the Daoist partner chosen for her by the clan, but instead fell for a celestial beast. Even so, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan didn't stop her, but only required Qu Shu's mother to mate with another Heavenly Phoenix to give birth to a Heavenly Phoenix. Unfortunately, Qu Shu's mother eloped with Qu Shu's father.

This is what truly enraged the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao remained silent for a moment, but did not continue the topic. From the moment she realized that Qu Shu wanted the power of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, her purpose in coming here was to ask the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to grant Qu Shu power and freedom. Now that her goal had been achieved, there was no need to dwell on these details.

After discussing some matters further with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, the meeting was adjourned. Lin Zhao, under the clan leader's arrangement, followed Huang Yue towards the courtyard the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had prepared for him.

As Huang Yue walked ahead, she exclaimed to Lin Zhao, "Only you dare to make demands to these old fogies face to face. You don't know that these stubborn old men are like they were dug out of the ground, their brains are dead and unchanging. To be honest, I was almost stunned that they agreed to your request."

Lin Zhao chuckled: "We have to thank Young Master for speaking up for justice."

Huang Yue waved her hand: "Don't think I have any merit. If they really liked me, they wouldn't have forced me to have a marriage agreement with Qu Shu. You know, I had my eye on several girls when Qu Shu was born. I watched Qu Shu grow up. How abnormal do I have to be to like Qu Shu?"
