Chapter 1290 - Vice Alliance Leader

Sima You Yue was scared by the way they looked at her and subconsciously shrunk back, asking, “What do you plan to do?”

“Nothing much, actually.” Xia Chang Tian chuckled twice, “In order to repay you for all your efforts today, we wish to invite you to join our alliance.”

Sima You Yue blinked in confusion. Join the alliance? What the hell was that?

“President, isn’t the alchemist guild part of the alliance? Why do I have to join it personally?” She asked with confusion.

“This time, we’re inviting you not because of your position as the honorary elder of the alchemist guild, but based on your own identity.” Fang Ming said, “I hope that you can join the alliance and also take up the position of Vice Alliance Leader.”

“What?!” Sima You Yue was shocked, “You want me to be the Vice Alliance Leader? President, are you guys mistaken?”

“This is the result of all of our discussions.” Xia Chang Tian said, “One of the reasons is to thank you for all that you’ve done, while we also have our own thoughts.”

He stopped talking for a while, thinking that she would follow up. However, she just continued to stare at him, waiting for him to continue.

“Cough cough, it’s like this. You know that that power is too secretive, and you also have the divine vermilion bird who can command countless birds. The combined power of that is more than our entire alliance put together. That is why we were wondering whether or not we could borrow that power when the time comes.” Xia Chang Tian felt a little sheepish when he reached the end.

He was familiar with You YUe and knew that she wouldn’t usually activate the power of the bird clans. However, they had these plans right now.

Despite that, they had no choice. These few days, after consolidating all the information they found, it was a shock to find out that they didn’t find out a single bit of useful information despite the number of guilds in the alliance.

From this, they could see how powerful the power in the secret place was. Even if they formed an alliance, they may not necessarily defeat them!

It was precisely because of that that they thought of the power backing Sima You Yue.

Sima You Yue didn’t think that they would think of this point. That was why she was shocked when she heard them point it out.

On the other hand, they thought that she had hesitated because Xia Chang Tian had once told them that Sima You Yue wouldn’t activate the bird clan for her selfish reasons.

“We aren’t just thinking of ourselves for this. If the world is thrown into chaos by that power, the bird clans would not be able to escape either. That is why we thought that we might be able to add them to our forces.” Fang Ming explained.

“I did not disagree. I was merely shocked upon hearing this.” Sima You Yue saw that they misunderstood her and explained, “With the present conditions, I do not think that the bird clans would reject.”

“Does that mean you agree?”

“No.” Sima You Yue waved her hand, “I am willing to put forth some effort in this, but as for your proposition of me taking up the Vice Alliance Leader position, I think you should forget it. Relax, even if I’m just a small fry, I will still do my best.”

What a joke! The position of Vice Alliance Leader? What kind of huge responsibilities would she have to shoulder? She didn’t have that much time to deal with these things!

“See, I wasn’t wrong, was I? She wouldn’t accept it!” Xia Chang Tian said.

What position of power? This would never entice her!

“It’s like this, You Yue, the position of Vice Alliance Leader is not going to lock you inside anywhere. It’ll be just like your honorary position of elder at the alchemist guild. It’s just a title. You don’t usually have to do anything. You just have to contribute once in a while.” He Chen Dong said.

Sima You Yue blinked, was there such a good thing in this world?

“I told them before that if you had to do anything on this front, you would never accept this. Why not give you a position in name, so that it would be proper when the time came and we needed you.” Xia Chang Tian said.

Sima You Yue pursed her lips. President, you really were very direct!

“Although you’ll just be the Vice Alliance Leader in name, only we know about this. To the ordinary members, you are the vice alliance leader. As such, you have the right to issue orders and activate them.” Xue Chang Lin clarified.

“You’re giving me such a high position of power, aren’t you afraid that I’ll abuse it?” Sima You Yue was rather taken aback at the amount of trust they had in her.

“It’s just the position of Vice Alliance Leader. It seems like it’s not a higher rank as compared to the King of the Rocs.” Xiang Yang said.

It seemed so.

Sima You Yue thought it over and said, “When I joined the alchemist guild, I told President that I have many of my personal things to settle. If you want me to be the Vice Alliance Leader, I still will say the same thing. When I have things I need to do, you cannot mandate my assistance in things on your side.”

“That is only natural. Since we said that the position is only one in name, we do not have too many requests.” He Chen Dong siad.

“Alright then, to agree is my sincerest form of respect for you all.” Sima You Yue smiled.

“This is your name plate. In the future, once they see this, they will obey your orders.” He Chen Dong took out a name plate. A servant girl who was standing by the side walked over and took it, handing it over to Sima You Yue.

They had even prepared the name plate beforehand. It seemed like they had come prepared!

Sima You Yue took the name plate and examined it. It seemed similar to others. The word ‘Alliance’ was written on it, and her surname, You, was on the back. It represented her identity.

“Yours is silver in color. The alliance leader’s one is in gold.” He Chen Dong explained, “You should drop a drop of fresh blood on it and insert some spirit energy. Then, the name plate will register your aura. Even if someone else picks this up, they will not be able to use it.”

Sima You Yue followed his instructions and dropped a drop of fresh blood on it and inserted some spirit energy. After the blood and spirit energy entered the name plate, a white ray of light shot out from the nameplate and surrounded her. It seemed to make her feel connected to it.

“This is…” She looked at He Chen Dong with shock.

“This is what Old He has specially crafted for you. It’s a lot higher in rank than the ones us old guys have. Ours are merely low ranked divine artifacts. Yours is a high ranked one.” He Chang Tian explained faintly.

“High ranked divine artifact!” Sima You Yue sucked in a deep breath. It was just a nameplate, did it have to be such a high-levelled one?!

“Mm.” He Chen Dong nodded, “Based on your circumstance, it might be useful for defence to refine this for you. It can take three attacks from one paragon-ranked and below. Although it might not be that useful to you, it’s better than nothing! This is also a form of our thanks to you.”

If not for her, Xiao Hong would have been killed by the ghost clan that day. They might also not have survived the disaster.

Although this thing really wasn’t that useful to her, she still kept it away carefully to show her gratitude.

At this time, Baita came in from the outside.

“Vice Valley Leader, there are people looking for you from the outside…”
