Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1231: Demanding Accountability

"That human..."

"You should rest first." She repeated.

General Wu hesitated for a moment, but eventually told the Clan Leader about the sudden surge of powerful ghostly energy from Jun Moyan’s body.

To his surprise, the Clan Leader’s expression changed dramatically upon hearing this.

"...Is this true?"

The Clan Leader’s hand holding the scepter was trembling slightly, and fear surged in her eyes.

Awoken?

Is the Soul-suppressing Beast about to awaken?

The Clan Leader panicked.

All her emotions, too shocking to hide in time, were clearly seen by General Wu.

It seemed the Clan Leader understood the ghostly energy within that human.

But who exactly was this human to cause such a blunder and fear in the Clan Leader?

"Absolutely true, the wounds on my body were thanks to him."

"..."

The Clan Leader’s pale lips moved slightly, and after a while, she calmed down her emotions, saying, "I understand."

"Clan Leader, it appears that the human is no ordinary person. Do you know..."

"I do not know. I only know that the human is trying to take away my Xiao’ai, and his existence affects the reputation of both Xiao’ai and the entire Cat Demon Clan."

"But..."

The Clan Leader’s words were obviously exaggerated and too evasive.

Clearly a sign of a guilty conscience.

"No buts, General Wu, you are tired. Go rest. I will find the Medicine King for some healing medicine and send it to you later."

After finishing, the Clan Leader rose and left, leaning on her scepter, not waiting for General Wu to speak.

...

"Medicine King, the Clan Leader is here." The young attendant knocked on the door of Feng Liyan’s quiet chamber.

However, before Feng Liyan inside could respond, a sudden door-opening sound rang out.

Accompanied by the young attendant’s panicked voice trying to stop it.

The Clan Leader’s figure suddenly appeared at the door.

Beside her stood the young attendant, looking completely at a loss.

Sitting cross-legged on a soft couch, Feng Liyan slowly opened his eyes from meditating, and the accusing face of the Clan Leader intruded into his view.

"You may leave." He spoke lightly to the young attendant.

The young attendant glanced at the hostile-looking Clan Leader, then bowed to Feng Liyan and withdrew.

As soon as the young attendant was gone, the Clan Leader strode inside.

Feng Liyan put away his hands, reached out to the teapot on the square table, and leisurely prepared tea.

The Clan Leader stopped about two meters away from Feng Liyan, expressionlessly watching him pour tea.

"Top-quality Jade Flower Tea, please, Clan Leader."

Feng Liyan made an inviting gesture across the table.

"Medicine King, is there nothing you want to say to me?!" The Clan Leader asked coldly.

"What does the Clan Leader want me to say?" Feng Liyan looked at her, a faint, wind-like smile hanging on his pale face.

"Are you playing dumb with me?"

Feng Liyan chuckled, lifted the tea in front of him, and said, "The Clan Leader is so astute, what need is there for me to feign ignorance."

He said this, took a sip of the tea, and then critiqued with some dissatisfaction, "The tea has cooled a bit, and it’s too weak."

"Medicine King! Do you know what you are doing?!" The Clan Leader could no longer bear it.

"That is what I would like to ask the Clan Leader as well." Feng Liyan looked at her, the smile on his face disappearing.

"What do you mean?!"

"Clan Leader, with all due respect, one must act within one’s means. Some things cannot be reversed. Why not let them take their natural course?"

"Are you advising me? Don’t you know for whom I am doing this? Regardless of how this ends, the greatest victim is Xiao’ai, don’t you understand?!"
