Many people cried out with trembling voices, "Clan Leader!"
"Clan Leader!"
Zhong Anan herself knelt to the ground, her voice choked as she called out, "Master, I..."
Mu Guqing waved her hand. "Anan, no more words need be spoken! My decision is final, not to be changed! From now on, you are the Clan Leader of the Taiyin Deity Clan!"
Zhong Anan's tears streamed down her face as she bowed deeply, "Yes!"
Then Mu Guqing looked around at everyone present and spoke softly, "Have you all heard?"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison, many with tears streaking their faces.
"Then pay your respects to the new Clan Leader," Mu Guqing's voice became weaker.
Everyone turned around to bow once again to Zhong Anan.
"We greet the Clan Leader!"
The sincerity in their voices was palpable.
