Chapter 794: 794

Seeing Long Chen standing out, Xiao Yu was both grateful and afraid . It was unexpected that the person to speak up for Xiao Fei would be an outsider .

Xiao Ling had a complicated expression . Long Chen was the first one from the outside world permitted to enter the Xiao tribe in all of history . She didn’t know whether what she had done was right or wrong anymore .

“Big brother Long Chen…” Xiao Fei was stunned .

“Get up when you speak . ” Long Chen arrived in front of Xiao Fei .

“I committed a mistake . I should be punished…”

“A mistake? What mistake?” asked Long Chen . “Originally, I thought you were a man, which is the only reason I saved you . But now I find that you’re a coward . You really disappoint me . ”

“I’m not a coward!” exclaimed Xiao Fei .

“Did you think that just because you could fight against enemies unafraid of death that you’re not a coward? Did you think that just because you didn’t abandon your companion that you weren’t a coward?

“But you say your decisions were wrong just because someone criticized you? How are you not a coward?

“You risked your life to gather the seven star red spider lily nectar to save someone . You couldn’t bear to see someone close to you suffer the pain of having their soul torn . Let me ask you, if you had to choose again, would you do it again?” asked Long Chen .

Xiao Fei was stunned, but then he nodded . “As long I can stop aunt Qing from suffering that pain, then even if I had to die, I would be willing . If I had to choose again, I would make the same decision . ”

An uproar erupted . It was unexpected that Xiao Fei was actually so obstinate . He didn’t feel any regret .

“Xiao Fei, you are the future leader of the tribe . If you ignore the big picture, you will bring danger to the entire Xiao tribe . You aren’t suited to leading the tribe,” said the old tribe leader .

Xiao Fei shouted, “I never wanted to lead the tribe! I don’t have any great ambitions or goals . Ever since my father died, you all started looking down on me . The only one who always took care of me was aunt Qing . But the rest of you treated me as a tool that had to cultivate all-out every day . It’s been ten years already . I’ve long since had enough .

“If it weren’t for aunt Qing always looking after me, encouraging me, I’d have long since gone crazy because of you . Just because my father was the tribe leader, why do I have to be the next tribe leader? Did you ever ask me if I wanted to? Did you ever ask me what I wanted? I’m just an ordinary cultivator . Must you force a chicken into becoming an eagle?

“You’re the selfish ones! Do you know what it’s like to go all-out cultivating but still be thrown into the distance by your peers? Do you know how many times I thought about taking my own life?

“There are so many geniuses in the tribe . Pick one of them! Why does it have to be me? Only aunt Qing understood me, protected me, and loved me . If I want to die for her, what does it have to do with you?!

“If I die, then I die! Did I ask you to save me?! I just wanted to save aunt Qing! I just want her to not have to suffer! If I had to die, I’d be willing! It has nothing to do with you!”

Xiao Fei became more and more emotional as he spoke . Towards the end, years of grievance began to spill out .

Everyone was silent . Ten years ago, Xiao Fei had just been a child . Thinking of how everyone had looked at him with such disappointment and resentment as he didn’t improve, it truly was a bit unfair . But what other way was there? He was the tribe leader’s son .

Originally, the old tribe leader had already given up his position . But then the new tribe leader had died in battle . And so the old tribe leader had had no choice but to take up the mantle again . That was why everyone called him old tribe leader instead of tribe leader .

Long Chen patted Xiao Fei’s shoulder . “A man should be manly . What are you crying about? Crying is for the weak . The strong are the ones who make others cry . Since you were born a man, you have to understand that you were born to be a man capable of supporting heaven and earth . Suffering and grievances are your trials . Only once you pa.s.s those trials can you become strong . Weak people don’t get strong just because they want to . They have to have a reason to get stronger . Wipe away those things in your eyes . Don’t start bawling because of a little grievance . You’re a man . Grievances have to be stuffed inside . ”

“Yes, big brother Long Chen . I’ll listen to you . ” Xiao Fei wiped away his tears and stood up .

For some unknown reason, having Long Chen by his side gave him endless confidence . He trusted that Long Chen’s words were correct . Long Chen definitely wouldn’t trick him .

At this time, the Xiao tribe’s experts were all silent . More people were starting to walk out from the interior of the Xiao tribe . They tightly surrounded them .

Long Chen looked at those people and said, “Xiao Fei is still a child . Although I’m not sure why you’re all pus.h.i.+ng him so hard, if my guess is right, his body must be special . He should possess immense potential, which is why you’re pus.h.i.+ng him to be your tribe leader . ”

Everyone was surprised by his words . Many of them were startled, not understanding what he was saying . They turned to look at the old tribe leader and the Elders .

The old tribe leader nodded slightly . “Yes . Xiao Fei possesses an immense energy within him . Once it’s activated, his accomplishments will very likely surpa.s.s the previous tribe leader . He would become the strongest expert born from our Xiao tribe since the Immemorial Path was sealed . Unfortunately…”

He sighed . The other Elders were also somber . They naturally had their own secret troubles for them to force Xiao Fei to work so hard .

Currently, Xiao Fei was just a rank one Celestial . If he was unable to awaken as a rank three Celestial by the time he was sixteen, he would forever be a rank one Celestial .

Within the Immemorial Path, there was the remnant spiritual qi from the immortal era . The children here would automatically awaken as Celestials by the time they were nine years old . But normally, they would only be rank one Celestials . Amongst ten thousand people, perhaps only one person would awaken as a rank two Celestial .
