Jie Wei immediately introduced the Herba Hydrae to Di Chen, and the Herba Hydrae looked at Di Chen and smiled: ”Oh you are Di Chen, many thanks for taking care of Jie Wei during this period.”
Di Chen smiled and said: ”Grandma doesn't need to be so polite, Jie Long also helped me out a lot.”
The Herba Hydrae stared at Di Chen for a while, then suddenly became stern: ”You probably didn't come to Eastern Desolation just to send Jie Long back right? Do you have another goal?”
”Yes, there are some things,” Di Chen did not hide anything from him. This was something that Jie Wei knew, but he did not tell him the reason why he was here.
Herba Hydrae also did not intend to pursue the matter further, so she smiled and said, ”Witch race is not safe, you should be careful during this period.”
Di Chen also knew that there were people in the Witch race who wanted to kill Jie Wei, and that Di Chen was here to help Jie Wei. Naturally, Di Chen would be in danger, but Grandma really didn't think that Di Chen could help Jie Wei out much.
Luo Yumeng, who was at the side, did not say a word from start to finish. She could tell that the Herba Hydrae was not a simple person.
”Let's go,” the Herba Hydrae said. ”Follow me to see Yan Huai. Di Chen, the two of you follow me.”
Yan Huai was currently the Acting Patriarch of the Witch race, and had a very high status in the Witch race.
Jie Long became angry when she thought of Yan Huai, as if she was still afraid. But she knew that she could not hide, so she followed Herba Hydrae with a nod.
They arrived at the largest yurt, and immediately saw a dignified middle-aged man. The man held a walking stick with a skull, the walking stick was called the Witch God Staff, it was a symbol of the patriarch of the Witch race, and behind him were two elders, two of them were the elders of the Witch race, the one on the left was called Clan Elder Hong, the one on the right was a kind looking Elder Ting, who was also highly respected in the Witch race. Beside him were Yan Hui and You Mo.
When Herba Hydrae brought Jie Wei and the others in, they saw the different expressions on and the others' faces, but they did not say anything.
Jie Long bowed to Elder Hong and Elder Ting: ”Greetings, Elders.”
Elder Hong nodded expressionlessly.
Elder Ting greeted him warmly, smiled and said: ”It's good that you're back. This time, don't go out.”
Jie Long did not greet Yan Huai, nor did he even glance at him.
Yan Hui immediately said angrily: ”Jie Wei, don't be rude. Why aren't you bowing to the patriarch?”
Jie Wei calmly said, ”My father is the clan leader. After my father died, the clan leader was never chosen. Why should I pay respects?”
Yan Hui berated: ”My father is now the Acting Patriarch, and is also the Patriarch. As a member of the Witch race, you are actually so rude.
Jie Qian looked coldly at Yan Hui, not even bothering to reply.
He only faintly knew that Yan Huai must have done something that could not be exposed. After that, Herba Hydrae had asked Jie Long to leave the Witch race to prove that the two of them were right, but at that time, the Witch race was being attacked by another tribe, so the two of them did not have the time to ask about it, and now, the two of them did not want to bring up the matter that happened back then anymore. Judging from Jie Wei's reaction, it seemed like what happened that year must not be simple, but it had already been a few years, there was no point in investigating it.
Yan Huai waved his hand, looked at Jie Long and said: ”You are right, your father is the Clan Leader, I am only temporarily representing your father. You do not need to bow to me, it is good that you can return.”
He spoke very politely, but he had almost killed Gorgeous that year.
”Oh, right,” Yan Huai's gaze landed on the two and asked: ”Who are these two people?”
Herba Hydrae introduced them as she said, ”These two are the people who escorted Jie Qian back.”
Yan Huai sized up Di Chen for a while, but did not pay too much attention to him. His gaze landed on Luo Yumeng again, and slightly raised his brows, as if he had felt Luo Yumeng's strength.
”Thank you for taking care of Jie Dui.” Yan Huai laughed and said: ”It's been hard on you all. Rest well today, you can leave tomorrow.”
Di Chen and Luo Yumeng were startled when they heard this, the two of them had no intention to leave from the start, but Yan Huai said that he would leave tomorrow, this was clearly ordering them to leave.
Jie Qian immediately said: ”Di Chen will not leave this place for the time being. I plan to let him stay in Witch race for a period of time.”
Yan Huai said as he furrowed his brows: ”Jie Qian, you are the daughter of the Clan Leader. You should know the rules of the Witch race because he is an outsider, not to mention, not even a member of the Eastern Desolation's clan. How can he stay in the Witch race?”
There were many tribes in the Eastern Desolation, and these tribes fought wars throughout the year. However, there would occasionally be interactions between the tribes, but the tribesmen hated people that were not from the Eastern Desolation the most.
Jie Wei said willfully: ”I don't care if they are people of the Eastern Desolation, they won't leave during this period of time anyways.”
