Lord Min wiped the sweat on his forehead, stood up, and cupped his hands to express his apologies. When he sat down again, there was a wronged expression on his face. He thought to himself, ‘This is my house. You guys come and go as you please. Have you ever thought about how I, the master of this family, feel?’
However, the one who had descended just now was indeed very strong…uh, of course, compared to himself, that person was still a bit weaker, but if that person were to go against the old chef, he had a fifty percent chance of winning.
Did that lady purposely hire a helper to suppress them?
It couldn’t be. If that was really the case, the other party would not have come and left so hurriedly. They would have at least stayed for a couple of days until the dust had settled.
Lord Min scratched his head and took a sip of tea. He could feel the cold tea going down his throat and it instead made him even more frustrated. He could not help but feel that the way this lady went about doing things was extremely strange and he could not see through her methods at all.
For example, Leftover Dog, who was resigned to being a dog, was a third-generation disciple of the Li Family. It was her who had sent him over, but now that he was here, she did not care or ask about him.
Did she really not care about him, or was it because she knew that Min Changjing would not dare to do anything silly no matter how much he hated to admit it?
No matter how he thought about it, he felt like the latter was more probable. This made Lord Min’s mood even worse.
……
Qin Yu was in the process of cultivating.
After returning to his residence and feeling the thickness of spiritual energy in the air, his eyes shone. He did not delay any further.
As for other things, he was not very sure why they had to come to this mysterious and private Min Family courtyard, but he would leave it to Rourou to take care of it.
Thirty years was a short period of time that would pass in the blink of an eye. He had to make good use of every single day!
The only exception was when Great Shaman Mengshan had descended. Qin Yu’s heart was slightly shaken and he could slightly feel his presence.
After confirming that Great Shaman Mengshan’s aura was coming from Rourou’s residence, he pretended that he did not notice anything after thinking about it.
He trusted Rourou now, and since he decided to trust her, he no longer had any suspicions towards her.
He did not have even a single strand of doubt about her, so since she had not said anything to him, he did not need to make an appearance.
Time to continue cultivating!
……
Flowing Fire Tribe.
Many days had already passed since the death of the Barbarian King. However, life still went on as usual.
The anxiety in everyone’s hearts gradually melted away. Even if the sky was falling down, there would be someone to hold it, so peace was gradually restored to the Flowing Fire Tribe.
After successfully selling that piece of high quality stone, the tribe leader happily got married to another wife.
Today was the day of their wedding.
The old barbarian had not been in a good mental state recently and so he did not wish to attend the ceremony. He leaned on the rock listlessly, wearing a torn robe. He was in a drowsy state as he listened to the boys talking indignantly about this matter around him. He opened his eyes and waved his hand to chase them away, “What are you guys doing here? If you have something to do, go and do it; why are you chatting away over here? If you really feel indignant about it, then say it to the tribe leader’s face, I’ll give him a thumbs up!”
The few young barbarians were frozen on the spot for a while, then one of them grimaced as he said, “Old Uncle, you can stop mocking us. We wouldn’t dare to offend the tribe leader.”
The old barbarian gritted his teeth and pointed at them, “I’m only talking about Ah Mu being indignant. Everyone knows that Ah Ya is on good terms with Ah Mu. Ah Ya’s parents have already said that they are willing to give Ah Mu five years to prepare the dowry. If he is able to do so, they will let them get married. However, the tribe leader is set on choosing Ah Ya as his mistress and her parents did not dare to decline. Ah Mu went to beat up the tribe leader’s bodyguard.”
“Pui! That bodyguard is such a bastard. He is the tribe leader’s wife’s brother-in-law. He tried so hard to help his brother-in-law find a mistress; he’s an asshole with sores on his head and pus at the bottom of his feet! Back then, he too was fawning over Ah Ya. After being taught a lesson by us, he’s probably trying to sow discord now by doing this!”
Everyone was angry, but the angriest person was probably the young man named Ah Mu. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen as he glared at the ground, not saying a word.
The old barbarian frowned and looked at Ah Mu, “Tell me, is this really what happened?”
Ah Mu raised his head with reddened eyes and nodded his head, “Old Uncle, tonight, Ah Ya will be brought to the tribe leader’s tent. I want to rescue her.”
‘Pu-tong!’ After he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, “After I go and rescue her, I definitely will not be able to come back. My parents are still in the tribe; please help me to take care of them.”
These young barbarians loved to hang around the old barbarian. Firstly, it was because his luck was pretty good and always managed to make small fortunes. Last year, what happened with that piece of stone was testament to his good luck. Secondly, the old barbarian was very knowledgeable, following him around could increase one’s knowledge as well. Thirdly, he had a special position in the tribe. There were rumors that the old barbarian was not originally from the Flowing Fire Tribe. Back then, he had lost consciousness in the wilderness and when he was taken in, he had the same appearance compared to now. The tribe leader was extremely courteous towards him.
The old barbarian frowned, “Is it worth it?”
Ah Mu nodded his head ferociously, “I promised Ah Ya that I would marry her, so I definitely will not allow her to suffer. Otherwise, I won’t be able to live easily and peacefully for the rest of my life. Wouldn’t it be better to be dead now then?!”
The old barbarian mumbled to himself, “To be able to live freely and peacefully, you aren’t afraid of death?”
Ah Mu gritted his teeth, “No!”
“Then, go.” The old barbarian thought for a while before taking a knife out from his sleeve. Usually, he used this knife to chop up meat for his meals. It looked sloppy and there was even a sticky layer of oil on the blade. “This is for you, use it tonight.”
Ah Mu received it with two hands and kowtowed to the ground.
At night, the happy occasion turned into a tragedy. The tribe leader was beheaded by Ah Mu in one strike. The two elders that were close to the tribe leader, who took action out of anger, were also killed by the knife. Afterwards, everyone was silent as they stared wide-eyed at the knife in Ah Mu’s hand, their faces filled with disbelief.
Including Ah Mu himself.
The Flaming Fire Tribe’s totem, Fire Spirit, made an appearance. It directly announced to the members of the tribe that Ah Mu had become the new tribe leader of the Flaming Fire Tribe.
And tonight was the night of the tribe leader’s wedding ceremony.
Ah Mu, who had become the tribe leader in a daze, took his newly-married wife Ah Ya to go and visit the old barbarian on the second day. However, they found nothing and no one knew when he had left.
This caused a group of young barbarians who ran into each other here to look at each other. Gradually, their eyes filled with awe and respect.
Ah Mu pulled Ah Ya to kneel on the ground together and kowtowed in the direction of the old barbarian’s tent.
And now, on the other hand, thousands of miles away, the old barbarian was rushing off somewhere silently.
Even a junior knew that it was better to risk it all than to live uneasily. Yet, for all these years, it was him who did not know this. To him, this was simply laughable. It was fine that he did not understand it before, but now that he understood this logic, he could not continue to live uneasily. He would not let himself continue living like this!
Today, he was going to go to the ancestral court to get his identity back. He wanted them to announce to all the barbarians that back then, it was them who had made the mistake.
The old barbarian was very sure that it would be very difficult to achieve this. It might even be dangerous.
However, he was not afraid. This world was a reasonable place…furthermore, he had been reserving his punches for a very long time now!
