Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 566 Clan Chief (Second Update)

Upon hearing Tang Ruyan's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

Gratitude?

Seeing Tang Ruyan before them, they felt somewhat relieved. Tang Ruyan had grown up under their watchful eyes since childhood, and they were quite clear about her strength and talent.

Moreover, Tang Ruyan's identity as the person behind the mask was determined through professional analysis.

In terms of talent, she was indeed inferior to her younger sister, Tang Ruyu.

The initial observations were based on round after round of testing, and were very meticulous, so they were unlikely to be wrong.

Tang Ruyan now possesses such terrifying strength, which is clearly due to some fortuitous opportunity—something that transcends talent and hard work.

This opportunity is most likely related to that shop, which is the favor Tang Ruyan mentioned.

"Ruyan, with your current strength, you can even save your life in front of a legendary figure, right? Why do you still want to go back there and be a shop assistant and suffer humiliation? What kind of logic is it for a titled expert to be a shop assistant!" Tang Linzhan couldn't help but say. He wanted to keep Tang Ruyan, and what would others think of the Tang family if Tang Ruyan were to work as a shop assistant?

Upon hearing the clan leader speak, the other clan elders were all worried and joined the persuasion effort.

"Yes, Miss, although that person has a legendary background, your current strength is not what it used to be. In addition, you are young and have a bright future. Why bother to be a small shop assistant?"

"If you wish to repay this kindness, Miss, we can do it in another way. Our Tang family is willing to offer half of the treasures in our treasury for you to choose from."

"No matter what conditions they propose, as long as you return, Miss, and take charge of the Tang family, everything is negotiable. Miss, please think it over carefully!"

……

Tang Ruyan waved her hand slightly, interrupting the elders.

"This has nothing to do with my current strength. Even though I have become a legend, it is thanks to that person that I have the power I have now. I came back this time with his permission. So, the fact that you were saved this time is partly due to his kindness," Tang Ruyan said.

Tang Linzhan and everyone else were stunned.

Was it at that person's behest?

They suddenly realized what was happening.

Indeed, Tang Ruyan was kidnapped by that person, and without his permission, how could she possibly have returned alone?

"This... is indeed true." Tang Linzhan's expression was complicated, and he had no choice but to acknowledge this favor. Previously, the other party had caused the Tang family to lose two powerful armies, and he had already put the latter on the Tang family's blacklist. However, it was not an open blacklist, after all, the other party had a legendary figure as a backer. As long as that legendary figure was not defeated, they would not be foolish enough to provoke this person.

"Kindness should be repaid; there's no need for further persuasion."

Tang Ruyan said coldly, a hint of weariness already showing in her eyes.

Sensing Tang Ruyan's impatience, the others dared not offer any further advice, fearing it might provoke a rebellious attitude.

They abandoned Tang Ruyan back then, disregarding her life and death. Tang Ruyan inevitably harbored resentment, and they dared not force her to do anything more.

"Even if you want to go back, I still hope that you will inherit the position of clan leader."

After a brief silence, Tang Linzhan spoke again.

He looked intently at Tang Ruyan and said, "You are the most suitable candidate to succeed as the clan leader. We were training you to be the young master. You are very familiar with all the affairs of the Tang family. It's just that you didn't become the true young master because of... some other reasons. But now you are absolutely qualified to be the clan leader."

The other reason he mentioned was Tang Ruyan's talent back then.

Tang Ruyan knew perfectly well what was going on, but she didn't point it out. She just didn't expect him to insist on passing the position of clan leader to her.

"I have no interest in handling family affairs, so please keep this position for me," Tang Ruyan said, shaking her head.

She had high hopes for this position and held it in high esteem, but now it suddenly seemed insignificant to her. Perhaps it was because of her sudden surge in strength that she was able to easily crush the Situ and Wang families. This made her realize the fragility of the great families. They were supposed to be the four great families, but they were no match for the King Beast!

Strength is the only true measure of success.

and……

She wanted to go back.

In her heart, that place is her home, her true home!

There is no need for a reason to go home.

Tang Linzhan's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected Tang Ruyan to refuse him again and again. What a high status she was! Anyone would be envious, yet she treated it like trash.

He sighed inwardly and shook his head, saying, "If you don't want to handle the household chores, I can do them for you, but you will still be the clan leader. Whenever you've thought it through and are willing to come back, the Tang family's doors will always be open, waiting for you!"

The other clan elders looked at Tang Linzhan in astonishment; this was unlike his usual style.

Tang Ruyan's appearance clearly shows that she is determined to leave. What is the point of handing over the clan leadership to her?

Besides, Tang Linzhan is still in his prime and it's far from the point where he should be in a hurry to pass on his position.

Tang Ruyan also frowned, looking at him with some doubt.

"It's settled then." Seeing that Tang Ruyan didn't object, Tang Linzhan made the decision directly.

"Chieftain."

An elder spoke up, but hesitated, as if trying to persuade them.

They had no objection to making Tang Ruyan the clan leader, but the fact that Tang Ruyan, who was going to Longjiang, was the clan leader meant that the Tang family's central brain would be in the Night Fighting Base, while the brains would be thousands of miles away in Longjiang. Wouldn't it be awkward and uncoordinated for them to do anything?

This is highly inappropriate!

Tang Linzhan's gaze sharpened as he glanced at the elder, immediately forcing him to swallow back the words he was about to say.

"Prepare for the succession ceremony."

Tang Linzhan gave instructions to an elder standing beside him.

The clan elder, who was in charge of the clan affairs, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

Tang Ruyan shook her head and said, "I don't have time to stay any longer. If you really want to pass it on, then pass it on to Xiaoyu. Isn't she the young master you've chosen? From now on, I have nothing to do with the Tang family. Maybe if you encounter a great calamity of extermination, I will come to help, but maybe I won't. You'd better take care of yourselves."

After saying that, she turned around and jumped back onto the giant beast's back. She took one last look at everyone before leaving.

Tang Linzhan's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "No matter what, from now on, the Tang family recognizes you as their master. Even if you don't participate in the ceremony, I will still record your name in the family genealogy as the patriarch. The blood of the Tang family runs in your veins, and that cannot be washed away. You will always be a member of the Tang family!"

Tang Ruyan frowned but didn't answer, only saying, "Do as you please."

After she finished speaking, the giant beast beneath her feet moved its limbs, turned around, and slowly walked away.

"Clan leader, why are you so insistent on passing the position to the young lady?"

Seeing Tang Ruyan's figure disappear into the distance, no one dared to stop her and instead looked at Tang Linzhan.

Tang Linzhan withdrew his gaze, glanced at them, shook his head slightly, and said, "You still don't understand what it means to wipe out two clans by one person. Even if she does nothing, as long as she is the patriarch of the Tang family, no one will dare to touch the Tang family. She can protect the Tang family for hundreds of years. Once she becomes a legend, that will be a thousand years!"

Legendary lifespan, a thousand years, immortal!

Unless, of course, he was beaten to death.

"The Tang family suffered a great calamity this time, almost being wiped out. It was my wrong choice. As the patriarch, I almost let the Tang family's centuries-old foundation be destroyed in an instant. I am guilty!"

Tang Linzhan looked in the direction Tang Ruyan had left and said, "We can't let her leave like this today. She's still holding the title of clan leader, and I'll temporarily manage the clan affairs on her behalf. Given time, once she changes her mind, and once the person who kidnapped her no longer needs her, she will eventually come back."

Everyone was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Tang Linzhan was planning to play the long game and catch a big fish, this time his own daughter.

"Miss's return this time has made her famous. I estimate that from now on, the Starry Sky Organization will have to give way to our Tang family. And those old forces that have produced legends always think they are superior because they have produced legends. From now on, they will have to obediently submit to our Tang family." An elder revealed a sinister smile.

The other elders nodded, their eyes filled with emotion.
