”That's right, that Lutu, if you think like that, then you're looking down on us brave warriors.” Hugel said as he was eating. His tone was filled with displeasure.
”Yeah, that Lutu, you said you wanted us to help you take revenge, but we came here without a word, and now you want us to leave? Tell me, is that acceptable?” Timur continued.
Everyone was talking back and forth, making Xue Kaishan's heart fill with emotion. He had never thought that these warriors would be so loyal, so he didn't say anything further.
It was already the middle of the night, but Xue Kaishan was still awake. He sat by himself by the fire, staring at the flickering flames in front of him, thinking about something.
At this time, he saw Timur'er get up and leave the room. When he returned, he saw Xue Kaishan silently sitting in front of the fire. Thus, she sat beside him.
”Then, Lu Tu, do you still have anything on your mind?” Although Timur was a brawny man about eight feet tall, he was very meticulous in his thoughts, and all the people in the tribe, men and women, young and old, liked him very much.
Xue Kaishan sighed heavily and shook his head.
Timur smiled. ”I know what you're thinking.”
Timur's words surprised Xue Kaishan. He turned his head to look at Timur with a puzzled expression.
”Actually, I already knew that you were from the Central Plains.” Timur's words caused a thunderclap in Xue Kaishan's heart.
”What?” Xue Kaishan abruptly stood up from the ground, frightened. He looked to his side and saw that everyone else was still sleeping. He felt a bit more at ease.
Timur waved his hand, signaling Xue Kaishan not to panic, and asked him to sit down.
”Not just me, almost everyone in the clan knows that you are from the Central Plains.” Timur continued.
However, as he finished speaking, Xue Kaishan didn't respond for a long time. He remained silent.
”Why? Since you know that I'm from the Central Plains, why didn't you just kill me? ” After a long while, Xue Kaishan raised his head and looked at Timur with a complicated look in his eyes.
Timur smiled, and pretended to be mysterious as he asked Xue Kaishan, ”Do you know how our Kulman clan came here?”
Xue Kaishan nodded his head and said, ”Our Kulman Clan is the descendant of the great and powerful God of Heaven.”
Timur shook his head and said, ”This is just our song. In fact, among the warriors of an ancient tribe like mine, there is a legend about heroes in the tribe. It is said that a long time ago, on the northern plains, tribes killed and fought each other for food, cattle, and women. Then, a hero appeared, claiming to be the descendant of the great gods. When he was fifteen, he killed a pack of hungry wolves by himself. At the age of twenty, he travelled between tribes. Because of his valor, there was no one on the prairie who could compete with him. He persuaded the tribes to unite the entire prairie, becoming the first great Khan of the Kurman tribe. And these tribes have people from all over the place, so we, the Kulman tribe, do not care whether you are the original one or not, because you have already proved to us that you are a warrior of the Kulman tribe! ”
After Xue Kaishan heard Timur's words, his eyes moistened and his heart filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the secret he had been hiding for so many years would be discovered by someone. However, even though these people had discovered his secret, they were still willing to accept him.
