Chapter 1691 Elder Leticia&##x27;s Compromise

"I know what you are thinking, but soon, you will understand. Anyway, although the ceremony did not
go as smoothly as we hoped for, you and Odin still got engaged. So, according to the previous plan
that Leader Gilbert and I have agreed, the two of you will set out to the Nether Fire Land in three days,"
Elder Leticia reminded.

"What? In three days? That is so soon," Valeria said in surprise. She thought that she would still stay
here for a few more days, especially after what happened earlier.

"The truth is you are already a bit late. The other Godly Geniuses are already there, carrying out their
missions. Hence, if you don't go soon, I'm afraid that they will complete the mission before you guys,"
Elder Leticia explained.

"I see. But what about the engagement covenant?" Valeria asked in a soft voice.

"You don't have to worry about that. I am going to see Leader Gilbert and handle that matter. For now,
have a good rest and build up your strength for the mission. I will make sure that the Godly Genius of
the Genie Fief will not be let off the hook after doing this to you." After saying that, Elder Leticia
eventually left.

Meanwhile, as Rocky returned to the Ghost Palace, he immediately removed the mask on his face and
showed his real appearance.

"I am impressed! I didn't expect that your engagement ceremony would cause such an unimaginable
sensation in the whole city!" Although Esteban did not attend the ceremony itself, the news about the
incident during the engagement ceremony had quickly spread out and reached him even before Rocky
came back.

"Are you just being sarcastic? Why do you look very happy even after knowing what happened?"
Rocky asked as he washed his face, wanting to somehow get refreshed.



"Of course, I am happy for you. You don't get to have two fiancees all the time," Esteban teased.
Obviously, he was glad that things became chaotic. This way, it was more exciting and interesting for
him.

"Humph! I really hate this side of yours!" Obviously, Rocky saw through Esteban. He was just taking
delight at the problems that Rocky had gotten into.

"I also heard that the Godly Genius of the Genie Fief is extremely beautiful. You are one lucky bastard!"
Esteban continued to pester Rocky.

"Do not remind me of her. That woman is so troublesome to deal with. But I must admit that her
enchantment skill is awesome! I don't think I have ever seen anything like it." At the mention of Gloria,
Rocky instantly remembered her enchantment skill and could not help but feel a little afraid and
amazed at the same time.

"That is not something new. Their clan is born with the talent to cultivate superior enchantment skills,
so that woman is no exception. Well, to be frank, being with her is not a bad thing for you. The dual
cultivation skill of their clan is also a secret skill of the Shura Race, and it is not allowed to be spread
out. Therefore, if you can cultivate together with her, it might even be better and more advantageous
than you and Valeria cultivating together," Esteban analyzed.

"So, what are you trying to say? Are you really that desperate to send me away to these women?"
Rocky said as he crossed his arms on his chest.

"Well, not really. But if you are going to leave, I also have no problem with that. After all, I won't have
any losses anyway," Esteban replied with a shrug as if he could not care less about Rocky.

Heaving a deep sigh, Rocky said, "By the way, Leader Gilbert informed me that I will go the Nether Fire
Land with Valeria in three days."



"Three days, huh? I see. Then, I will need to prepare something for you. You should have already
heard that the Nether Fire Land isn't someplace that you could venture easily. You have to carry some
useful treasures with you in case you suddenly need them. Otherwise, you may end up dead there."
After saying that, Esteban left in a hurry. Of course, he wanted to ensure Rocky's safety because he
wanted him to obtain the rare Nether Fire Flowers in the Nether Fire Land.

At this point, Rocky knew that he would encounter lots of trouble again after today. However, he did not
really have the luxury to dawdle and think about this problem. After taking a short break, he put on his
mask again in case someone suddenly arrived.

Meanwhile, Gilbert gathered all the elders and the family officials to discuss the issue at hand after
sending the guests away. The engagement covenant was indeed a serious matter. So, in order to be
cautious, Gilbert did not talk with Gloria just yet. He needed to speak and consult with the elders first on
how they were going to handle this.

Not surprisingly, the elders and officials were also very dissatisfied and appalled by Gloria's
inconceivable behavior during the ceremony. Of course, they all felt that she was being disrespectful to
both the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief. If it weren't for the fact that she was actually the daughter of
the leader of the Genie Fief, they would have already captured her.

Then, just as when Gilbert was already discussing with the elders and the ministers, Elder Leticia
came. Apparently, she demanded to talk with him regarding the same topic.

After thinking for a while, Gilbert decided to also invite her in.

"Elder Leticia, you came at the right time. We are now discussing how to deal with the Godly Genius of
the Genie Fief," Gilbert informed.

"What is there left to discuss? She blatantly came to sabotage the ceremony. We must do what we can
to make her pay." Elder Leticia bluntly declared her stand.



"I know how you feel, but the fact remains that she is the daughter of the leader of the Genie Fief. I
don't think we can easily lay a finger on her," Gilbert said reluctantly. Gloria was Adrian's daughter, and
now, she was being trained as the Godly Genius of the Genie Fief. At this point, all of the other fiefs
were doing their hardest to improve the skills of their Godly Geniuses. Hence, Gilbert felt that it was
very inappropriate to cause a conflict to the other fiefs by laying a hand on their Godly Geniuses.

"All of us understand that Miss Gloria did something wrong. She signed her name on the engagement
covenant. Thus, nominally, she is also Odin's fiancee right now. Therefore, if we are to do something to
her, we really need to think about it carefully."

"Well, we can't ignore the fact that she deliberately messed up the engagement ceremony. On the
other hand, marriage is not a trivial thing. In order to stop the alliance of the Ghost Fief and the Flower
Fief, she was willing to sacrifice herself. It just shows that she was prepared for the outcome of her
actions. I think that if we pushed to punish her, the Genie Fief will use this as an excuse to retaliate."

"The marriage among three Godly Geniuses is, in fact, something that has never happened before.
However, there is no provision saying that it is prohibited. What if the three fiefs pursue this to make an
alliance? Maybe, we can have the advantage in competing against the other six fiefs. Although it will be
unfair to Miss Valeria, I suggest that we consider this plan for the sake of long-term interests."

One after another, the elders and officials expressed their opinions regarding the matter.

"So, how are you going to deal with this, Leader Gilbert? I need to know your decision," Elder Leticia
demanded sternly. Judging from her tone, she was still unwilling to give in.

"First of all, no matter what we do, we can't do anything to erase Miss Gloria's name from the
engagement covenant now. So, our next step will be dependent on this fact. I actually want to see what
tricks Gloria will play next. Although she has the covenant in her hands right now, it doesn't change the
fact that Odin and Miss Valeria have been officially engaged, and every individual in the ceremony is a



witness to that. Therefore, it isn't our loss if we don't have the covenant. On the other hand, since Miss
Gloria's name is on the engagement covenant, she is now nominally Odin's fiancee as well. This
makes her a member of the Ghost Fief, so to some degree, she should be under our control too,"
Gilbert recounted. He was indeed an old sly fox, so he was able to quickly come up with the most
plausible solution.

"Wait. Do you mean…" Based on what Gilbert said, Elder Leticia seemed to have a clue on what he
was up to.

"Yes. I am going to send one of my men to deliver a message to the leader of the Genie Fief. It will
state what happened here to make him admit that his daughter is Odin's fiancee now. When that
happens, even if we don't do anything, I think Adrian will ask his daughter to return the engagement
covenant to us obediently. Otherwise, she will have to stay in the Ghost Fief with us as Odin's fiancee
for quite some time," Gilbert explained in detail.

"That is brilliant. Why didn't I think of that? Your plan sounds excellent, Leader Gilbert!" Elder Leticia
was suddenly enlightened upon listening to Gilbert. Because she was too focused on dealing with
Gloria, she nearly forgot that they were in the territory of the Ghost Fief. It meant that as long as Gilbert
wanted, Gloria could not go anywhere. She was currently trapped in the Ghost Capital. Even if she had
the engagement covenant in her hands, it would be useless if she could not return to the Genie Fief.

"However, in case Adrian expresses his intention to ally with us, will the Flower Fief be willing to accept
it?" Gilbert had to ask because he knew that there was a huge probability that things would go this way.

"Yes. I don't think that it will be a problem. After all, we can use the force of the Genie Fief to deal with
the other fiefs first. After we achieve our goals, we can deal with the Genie Fief later," Elder Leticia
answered with a straight face. She knew that at this point, she could only act and decide according to
the current situation. Moreover, she had to prioritize the overall welfare of the Flower Fief so that they
would not be put in a passive position.
