Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1893  Fun

It had been a long while since Ryu was fatigued to the point of needing sleep. Usually, it was just injuries that took him out. But this time, it was pure, unadulterated mental fatigue.

"Alright. I will take him away," Star River said to no one in particular.

Many hesitated to speak, but in the end, Star River was too far beyond them. They didn\'t have the right to question her decisions just as much as they didn\'t have the right to question Ailsa.

Their Sect was rarely mentioned amongst the powers of this world, and that was because they were relatively small, only having a thousand or so members. However, each existence was a talent among talents, and it was said that the facilities of the Sect were on another level compared to any other.

This only made sense. Ailsa was a Cultus Faerie. What she did best was guide and help others to grow. If she chose to focus on just a small segment of the population like she did here, every single one of them was bound to soar.

But that was also the reason why Ryu\'s sudden uprising was so shocking.

Most of their Sect was made up of Faeries that were often suppressed beneath the rule of the Fey. It was only Ailsa\'s existence that allowed them to hold their heads up high.

As for why there were no humans, there was a very clear reason for this because it obviously wasn\'t the case that Ailsa of all people would be discriminatory. Her children in the future would be half-human, after all. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But it was precisely because of these reasons that Ryu received added hostility and would have even if his arrogance was set aside.

Now, he had somehow been promoted to Core Disciple in a single bound. Yet, rather than taking this boon, he actually wanted to challenge their Throne. It was too unacceptable.

Unfortunately, their Sect only had four Dao Gods, and none of them were present. Since Star River hadn\'t said anything, it wasn\'t their place to do so.

However, many already had a dangerous light in their eyes as they watched Ryu being carried away.

"The Human Race is far too shameless and ungrateful." Someone spoke a long while after Ryu had vanished.

"You want to do something about it, Saagar?"

The man named Saagar thought for a moment and shook his head.

"We can\'t take direct action against such a thing. I won\'t tolerate any disrespect for the Goddess, and since she\'s spoken, we cannot dissent. However, that doesn\'t mean we can\'t still make his life a living hell."

…

Star River put Ryu to rest in the Core Disciple quarters that had already been prepared for him. The region was quite lavish and seemed to have its own wellspring of Feng Shui and Faith.

This was one of the most shocking treasures of their Rebirthing Cultus Sect. While cultivating, it would feel like their disciples had the support of an entire world. With this alone, their cultivation speed could increase by leaps and bounds by the day instead of by the year like most Sky Gods.

Here, Ryu was also sure to recover with much greater speed as well.

When she was sure that everything had settled down, she turned and left, going to communicate with her big sister.

…

"… Big sister, are you really okay with this?"

"Since he\'s confident, let him do what he wants," Ailsa replied without much emotion.

"But, you know how dangerous our Throne challenge is. Although it won\'t have you or I, it will have Gemini and Savannah. This…"

Ailsa only gave a light smile in return.

Star River knew what this smile meant. It meant that she had already made up her mind and wouldn\'t be changing it on the topic.

It could mean either one of two things…

Either she was confident that Ryu would be able to do what he said…

Or, she didn\'t care whether he lived or died anymore.

In Star River\'s opinion, since she had only assigned Ryu to be a Core Disciple and not an Inheritor Disciple, her confidence in Ryu couldn\'t possibly be that high. So, it seemed like the latter was the only logical conclusion.

Star River couldn\'t help but sigh.

It seemed that a human had pissed her big sister off again. To think that the first time in so many years she would choose to trust one, it would backfire once again.

Well… at least this time things weren\'t nearly so bad. It was just that her big sister\'s tolerance seemed to be particularly low this time around. But maybe that was only natural considering the things that had happened in the past.

"Alright." Star River nodded. "He\'s currently resting, so we will just have to wait and see. I hope he doesn\'t die. At the end of the day, he\'s done a great service to us this time…"

After saying this, Star River left. It was only after she had that Ailsa chuckled and shook her head. How could she want her own husband to die?

The fact that even she was dealing with so many misunderstandings could only mean that Ryu had it a thousand times worse. His life might very well be made a living hell because of them.

Of course, normally, she wouldn\'t be worried. After all, Ryu was more likely to respond in kind than anyone she knew.

But the issue was that he had one hand tied behind his back because he actually cared about her opinion.

This left the Goddess feeling particularly amused. It had been a long while since she had such… fun.
