If that were the case, it made sense.
This could also explain why the Dao Child of Demon Clan appeared completely different from yesterday.
No wonder.
“It’s the birthday of the Chief of the Human Tribe, and I have to attend it? I a.s.sume the same goes for the First Elder,” Gu Chaoyan remarked.
The Dao Child of Demon Clan shook his head slightly.
While it was considerate for the Demon Clan to arrange for the First Elder to represent the Clan Leader at the Human Clan Chief’s birthday, the circ.u.mstances had changed.
“Clan Leader, you disappeared for a thousand years, and news of the fiend spread everywhere. The absence of the Demon Clan’s Clan Leader contributed to the gradual decline of our clan. Now that you’ve finally returned, the birthday celebration of the Human Clan Chief is a golden opportunity for everyone to witness the return of the Demon Clan’s Clan Leader. It will rea.s.sure the Demon Clan, both within the Demon Clan City and beyond. This way, they will feel more secure, and the Demon Clan won’t face constant threats. It’s a chance for the Demon Clan to regain its standing,” explained the Dao Child of Demon Clan.
Certainly, to the people of the Demon Clan, the Human Clan Chief’s birthday served as a test for the Clan Leader. Successfully navigating this event would rea.s.sure the Demon Clan members and pave the way for a peaceful acceptance of the Clan Leader.
Gu Chaoyan suddenly grasped the situation.
They intended to make her public.
In that case, she could only continue pretending to be the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan in this second world. Otherwise, navigating through this realm would be an arduous task.
The previous Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, had maintained a high profile. It was likely that many wished ill upon her. Under these circ.u.mstances, Gu Chaoyan had limited options.
Gu Chaoyan felt a bit disheartened.
This sensation was too overwhelming.
Being the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan was not as simple as it seemed.
Gu Chaoyan forced a smile and uttered with a feigned grin, “Understood.”
The Dao Child of Demon Clan also nodded, content with the familiar temperament and habits of the Clan Leader. In such situations, there was always a tinge of discontent. Regardless, she complied, albeit reluctantly. A proper explanation and understanding would usually earn the Clan Leader’s cooperation.
After the interaction with the Dao Child of Demon Clan, her mood slightly eased.
He was preparing to depart when persistent knocking on the door continued. The urgency in the voice suggested excitement.
“Sister, can I come in?” The Dao Child of Demon Clan, noticing the delay in the door opening, anxiously shouted from outside.
Gu Chaoyan exchanged a perplexed glance with the Dao Child of Demon Clan beside her and then at the one knocking on the door, addressing her as sister.
The Dao Child of Demon Clan looked thoroughly embarra.s.sed.
After all, the Clan Leader had mistakenly recognized the wrong person, and he hadn’t clarified the misunderstanding. Fearful of causing trouble, he opted to maintain the facade of being the younger brother. Little did he antic.i.p.ate that the other Dao Child would show up at this moment.
He rose and opened the door that had been incessantly knocked on.
The Dao Child of Demon Clan eagerly rushed in. Fixating his gaze on Gu Chaoyan, he exclaimed, “Sister, why aren’t you wearing the necklace I made for you? It’s the finest one I’ve crafted in hundreds of years.”
Gu Chaoyan was utterly dumbfounded.
Two Dao Children of the Demon Clan, two identical faces?
Consequently, it wasn’t that the Dao Child of Demon Clan had two personas earlier; rather, it was someone else entirely, and she had mistakenly identified him as the Dao Child.
Gu Chaoyan appeared perplexed in the eyes of the Dao Child of Demon Clan. She harbored some dissatisfaction about his failure to clarify the misunderstanding earlier.
“Clan Leader,” the Dao Child of Demon Clan called out.
Gu Chaoyan raised her gaze to meet his.
