Chaili’s heart skipped a beat at Island Master Lu’s words. He instinctively tightened his grip on Lu Rui’s hand, but she showed no reaction, her bright eyes fixed solely on her father. "As you all know, I have only one daughter, Lu Rui. Now that she has found a partner to walk the Great Path with, my burden has been lifted. From this day forward, the position of Island Master is passed to Lu Rui. I hope that, for the sake of the Lu family, you will all offer her your support."
As soon as Island Master Lu finished speaking, he handed a jade box to Lu Rui, clearly intending for the handover to take place on the spot.
The smile on Chaili’s face widened, his earlier discomfort instantly vanishing. The old man was sensible, he thought. He released Lu Rui’s hand, gesturing for her to go and receive the Island Master's seal. Once Lu Rui held it, it would be as good as his own; it meant the Jackal Clan had secured new territory.
