Gu Ruoyun was mildly surprised as she gently furrowed her brows.
“Come in.”
Long Yan had previously treated her with mockery and disrespect and had also accused them of hurting the Clan Leader. Why was he here now?
As soon as Gu Ruoyun had answered, the room’s door was pushed open. Long Yan stood at the doorway, looking very awkward. He took a deep breath before stepping into the room.
“What is your business?”
Gu Ruoyun looked at Long Yan who was at the door and asked.
“I…” Long Yan bit his lips and looked even more awkward, “I’m here to apologize!”
Apologize?
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow, “And then?”
Long Yan gathered his courage and raised his head to look at Gu Ruoyun. “Because many humans are too wicked, that had resulted in me getting a bad impression towards humans. This was also why I had mistakenly put you into the same circle as those other humans. I want to apologize for my previous behavior! If you really can’t let go of your anger, you can hit me and you may also scold me. I’ll accept it completely. The men of the Dragon Clan are always ready to take responsibility. If we were in the wrong, we will admit to it. Mistakes should be punished.”
His handsome face showed a sense of resolution as he spoke every word.
“Alright,” Gu Ruoyun paused. “I accept your apology.”
“Uh…”
Long Yan paused for a moment as he stared at Gu Ruoyun, puzzled, “Aren’t you going to hit me?”
“Why should I hit you?” Gu Ruoyun looked at Long Yan and slowly replied, “I’ve accepted your apology. If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
She has indeed accepted his apology.
However, that does not mean that her impression of Long Yan has changed.
She was already being very courteous to him by not chasing him away.
Long Yan blinked. He never thought that Gu Ruoyun would be so magnanimous. He had previously treated her in that manner yet she has accepted his apology?
If it had been him, he would certainly not have let it go so easily!
Especially since Gu Ruoyun was now an honored guest of the Dragon Clan. No matter what she does, the members of the Dragon Clan would not blame her. In the end, why did she not take advantage of this opportunity to hit him?
“Is there anything else?”
Gu Ruoyun frowned and asked when she noticed that Long Yan was standing dazedly on the spot with no intention of leaving.
“No, there’s nothing else.”
Long Yan returned to his senses, took one last look at Gu Ruoyun and continued, “I won’t bother you anymore.”
Once he had said this, he turned around and left, still in a daze.
However, because of Gu Ruoyun’s magnanimity, a good impression of her was carved into Long Yan’s heart. He also suddenly realized that not every human was that hateful…
At this moment, several elders were seated around a stone bed in a stone-walled room at the Clan Leader’s mansion. One of the elders spoke up, “Long Xin, why have you summoned us here? Say it straight.”
“Let me tell you the truth, I was behind the Clan Leader’s poisoning!”
Long Xin looked at the elders who were seated before him and made the shocking reveal.
“What?”
The crowd heard this and was instantly enraged, “Long Xin, why did you do such a thing? Don’t you know how important the Clan Leader is to the Dragon Clan? Why are you helping the humans to attack the Clan Leader? What are your intentions?”
The others had instantly voiced their opinions.
“Long Xin, I never thought that you would turn out to be this kind of a person. What a waste of the Clan Leader’s good favor towards you!”
“Hmph, you Dragon Clan traitor, you dare tell us of your deeds. Aren’t you afraid of us informing the Clan Leader?”
Long Xin laughed icily as he stared at the elders’ furious expressions, “Since I’ve dared to reveal this to you, this proves that I have the power to persuade you to change sides.”
