However, in order to avoid showing his weakness, Xiao Yanbao stuffed the clan precepts back into the hands of the clan leader.

"This book is too heavy. If you really want me to read it, just read the first entry to me."

The patriarch did not have any doubts and said, "Okay."

The clan leader cleared his throat and said, "The first clan precept: When the elves are facing the danger of extinction, the one who can save them will be the new spiritual master of the elves. Otherwise, the elves will be destroyed by the curse."

After reading this clan precept, the elf chief respectfully handed it back to Xiao Yanbao.

Then he knelt down in front of Xiao Yanbao, "Spiritual Master."

Xiao Yanbao: You should know that the elves' clan motto is written like this. She said she would not let the clan leader read out the first clan motto no matter what.

Xiao Yanbao even suspected that the first clan motto was not written like this.

This clan leader is just trying to force things.

Seeing that Yan Bao had no intention of agreeing, the clan leader said, "Ling Zun, this clan precept is not directed at you, but at our elves. We are afraid that our elves will do something ungrateful, so we use the curse to restrain our elves. If you, Yan Bao, do not accept it, then our elves will be destroyed because of the curse."

Even though the clan leader said so, Xiao Yanbao still didn't want to agree, mainly because she couldn't fulfill the duties of a spiritual master. She couldn't stay in the elf clan, as the affairs of Lan Country were enough to keep her busy.

And there are two more enemies in the secret realm of Eruption.

She was afraid that becoming the Spirit Lord would bring harm to the elves.

Even if she has some skills, if the aspects involved are too broad, she won't be able to handle it all by herself.

"Spiritual Master, you just need to agree to be the Spiritual Master. You don't need to worry about the affairs of the elves, nor do you need to stay in the elves. If there are any important matters, I will go to you for instructions."

"Okay, you get up. I agree to be the Spiritual Lord, but it's just an empty title. I won't be in charge of anything. I can't stay in your elf clan, and you'd better not tell anyone that I'm the Spiritual Lord of your elf clan." Xiao Yanbao said.

"Okay, I'll do whatever Ling Zun says." The clan leader agreed readily.

The clan leader brought little Yan Bao out of the clan temple and came in front of the elves. He announced: "Our elves were able to escape this disaster and the fire snake was completely sealed. It was all thanks to Yan Bao. From now on, Yan Bao is the spiritual master of our elves. Hurry and pay your respects to the spiritual master."

After the patriarch made the announcement, the elves were still quite surprised, because they had never had a spiritual master before.

The patriarch is the greatest leader of their elf clan.

Little Yan Bao tugged at the clan leader's sleeve, "Didn't I tell you not to spread the news that I'm your spiritual master?"

Now that we know everything, don’t we?

The clan leader looked at Xiao Yanbao in surprise and said, "Spiritual Master, you are a Spiritual Master. You can't tell outsiders that you are a Spiritual Master, but you must tell the people in the clan. You must let them know your identity as a Spiritual Master and respect you more than you respect me."

Xiao Yanbao: I'm just a name, does it matter whether I'm respected or not?

I just want to free you, the elves, from the curse.

But the patriarch had already spoken, and he couldn't take it back.

Little Yanbao thought that the most he would have to do to pay homage to this spiritual master was kneeling and kowtowing, but he didn't expect it to be another complicated ritual.

It is even more complicated than the clan leader's visit to the tablets in the ancestral temple.

Xiao Yanbao didn’t know if these elves were tired of paying their respects, but she felt tired just looking at them.

She whispered to the clan leader, "Can I, a spiritual master, speak well?"

"It works, of course it works. The words of the Spiritual Lord are like royal decrees to the elves. No one's words are more effective than those of the Spiritual Lord." The patriarch said seriously.

"Well, since my words are effective, just simplify the etiquette of meeting me. Just bow to me when you see me." Xiao Yanbao said.

The clan leader opened his mouth in surprise, "Ah? This is too simplified. Such complicated etiquette is to show respect for the Spiritual Lord!"

Xiao Yanbao waved his hand and said, "Respect or not has nothing to do with this complicated etiquette."

Who can guarantee what they are thinking when they perform this etiquette? They might even be cursing.

Dahuang is not here now. If she were here, she would definitely hear that some elves are dissatisfied, even though she saved them.

The human heart is the most unpredictable, and the heart of an elf is no exception.

The old patriarch still felt that Xiao Yanbao’s proposal was inappropriate.

But Xiao Yanbao insisted, "Chief, if you don't agree with what I say, it proves that my words are useless."

"It works, of course it works. The words of the Spiritual Lord are like imperial decrees, and they can be changed as soon as they are announced." said the clan leader.

He didn't dare insist, for he was afraid that Xiao Yanbao would throw up his sleeves and quit.

As long as it is beneficial to the elves, whatever the Spirit Lord says is what it is.

So for Xiao Yanbao, the etiquette of the elves changed.

As a spiritual master, he has changed the etiquette, so as a clan leader, he should not be so pretentious.

"From now on, the etiquette of our elves will be simplified, and we will just practice the bowing ceremony." said the chief.

Some old elves are quite stubborn and still do not agree with Xiao Yanbao's simplified etiquette.

"Spiritual Honor, Clan Leader, this etiquette has been passed down from generation to generation by our elves. Changing it at will is a blasphemy to our elves' ancestors."

Xiao Yanbao: This complicated etiquette is you bowing to me, not me bowing to you, how come you don't know what is good and what is bad? What's the matter? Are you used to being enslaved and don't want to be given freedom?

Little Yanbao didn't mean to show off his authority; he simply felt that the etiquette was too complicated.

She didn't want to change anything about the elves.

"I'm just stating my opinion. If you feel it's inappropriate, you are free to do as you please. I don't care if you're willing to break the formalities. Just don't break the formalities in front of me." Xiao Yanbao said.

When the Elf Chief heard what Xiao Yanbao said, he thought that Xiao Yanbao was unhappy, so he frowned and said, "The words of the Spiritual Lord are the clan rules of the Elf Clan. Anyone who disobeys and dares to violate them will be expelled from the Elf Clan."

This time, no elf dared to object.

There was complete silence, not a single person was speaking.

In order to break the solemn atmosphere, Xiao Yanbao said, "Things passed down by the elves should also be preserved, but the daily etiquette does not need to be so complicated. When offering sacrifices to ancestors every year, we should still use the traditional etiquette left by the ancestors of the elves. What do you think?"

Xiao Yanbao's proposal this time was approved by all the elves.

"Ling Zun is wise, Ling Zun is wise."

The patriarch looked at Xiao Yanbao with gratitude.

In fact, the clan leader was unwilling to completely abandon all the etiquette left by their ancestors, but since he had let Xiao Yanbao become the spiritual master, he had to follow the words of the spiritual master.

The elves will have to rely more on the Spirit Lord in the future.
