Refusal
Gislason’s words were very correct. Indeed, the entire clan rejoiced!
Not just the high level members of the clan; even many of the ordinary clan members located throughout the Skyrite Mountains gathered together in various places, drinking, chatting, and laughing gaily. For the clan to have produced such an expert was something which made even the ordinary clansmen feel proud!
When the four ancestors had been alive, the clan had been in such a flourishing, vigorous state!
After they died, the clan had decayed, to the point of being loudly insulted by the eight great clans at the borders of the Skyrite Mountains. This was a humiliation! This caused the members of the clan, who had experienced those glory days, to feel very lost in their hearts!
Linley’s sudden rise to prominence caused these clansmen to once more feel proud and arrogant.
