It wasn't long before Ashen was face to face with the matriarch.
Fanrong once again knelt in front of her, contrary to Ashen, who kept standing straight with a calm smile.
Seeing this, many elders of the clan were visibly offended, but didn't say anything since they knew someone else would already do it for them.
And as expected, the supreme minister instantly questioned with an offended expression:
"Why aren't you kneeling to show respect to the matriarch? Don't you know this defiance of yours can be taken as treason to the tribe? You can even lose your life for your impudence!"
Ashen shook his head in disagreement as he spoke with a gentle smile:
"It is not me who should kneel, it is you all!!"
"What??!!"
The supreme minister and everyone present were shocked, with their eyes open wide in disbelief.
"Do you even know what you're saying?" The supreme minister spoke in a cold tone, his pressure leaking into the room.
