Chapter 15: Kuang's Offer

"Speak," said the Sect Master, tiredly. "Quickly."

Kuang Shiyuan bowed, and his plum-colored sleeves swept the grass.

"The Heavens ask who the beasts follow, Sect Master. The sect has an answer written on a seal."

He lifted a hand toward the Beast Seal on the Sect Master's belt, a block of black jade as long as a finger.

"Give it to me. Let the seal name me master of the beasts."

"Then I will stand on Lightning Peak on the twenty-first night in the girl's place."

A murmur ran through the elders.

"In return," he went on, "my Hall takes charge of every bowl the beasts eat until the full moon."

"And my nephew sits in the Thunder Hall as the war god's heir."

"And the girl?" said Qi Wanli.

"Is kept in the Herbs Hall under guard, for her own safety and the sect's. She is plainly a beast-witch, and she does not know it."

Zhiyi opened her mouth.

Elder Mu was faster.

He stood at the end of the elders' row with his cap crushed in his fist.

"Beasts don't follow a seal, Hall Chief," he said. "They follow whoever they like."

"Then they will learn to like the seal," said Kuang Shiyuan pleasantly. "Beasts are taught."

Behind him the three hundred on the slope sat still, and not one of them looked at him.

Juehan moved.
