116 Little Tribe Chief (2/2)
Xue Wei would not decide for Hei Gou, but the black dog had the feeling that Xue Wei sought to remain within this tribe for some time, so he nodded his head quickly, agreeing to the condition that the elder put forth.
”Little Tribe Chief, show them to a free tent, where they can reside for the duration of their stay. They are brothers, so it is only natural for them to live together. After they have settled in, lead them to Little Lao's parents so that this boy, Hei Gou, can meet them. I am sure they have already heard about this young man's arrival and are eagerly awaiting a chance to see him.”
Having said this, Elder Zhang returned to the other elders and Xue Wei, Hei Gou, and the Little Tribe Chief rose to their feet and left the large tent in silence while accompanied by a retinue of four guards.
When they left, the other elders looked at Elder Zhang with curiosity. ”We have never really had captives or guests in our Chaos Vulture Tribe before. I never thought you would gladly invite them to stay in our tribe, even go as far as to warn them not to leave. Are there any secrets”
”Secrets?” Elder Zhang laughed. ”Those two have nothing but secrets, but these secrets are most likely best left untouched. I have a feeling that we will greatly benefit from being friendly with them in the future.”
”Benefit?” one of the other Elders frowned. ”You say that we will benefit, but you stated yourself earlier that, albeit outstanding in the scope of the Heping Kingdom, they are nothing to write home about when placed amongst the geniuses of the center of the continent. They have a long way to go in this case.”
”I think that there is something we cannot see there. I have a hunch about these two young men,” Elder Zhang said with a slight smile on his face. At this, the other elders, although seemingly unconvinced, decided to drop the subject.
Elder Zhang was the ultimate expert of the Chaos Vulture Tribe. In fact, he had even founded the tribe a long time ago.
Everyone within the Chaos Vulture Tribe knew that the strength of this elder had long since exceeded the Warrior ranks, but no one knew of the specifics.
If this Elder Zhang had made a decision, everyone within the sect would follow it unconditionally. Since he had decided to permit Xue Wei and Hei Gou to stay, the rest of the tribe was instantly in favor of the two young men.
As they left the tent, Xue Wei and Hei Gou looked at the woman by their side with puzzled and curious looks. ”Little Tribe Chief?” Hei Gou was the first to ask, and his question caused the woman to grimace slightly.
”I am currently the Tribe Chief of the Chaos Vulture Tribe,” she said with a heavy sigh. ”I am the youngest Tribe Chief our tribe has ever had, and the only reason I am is because of my father wishing to pursue his martial arts in the center of the continent. So he irresponsibly left the position to me and went out traveling before we had the chance to stop him.”
Hearing this, one of Xue Wei's eyebrows rose in surprise, while Hei Gou's jaw dropped. Both of them had never expected that this was the reason behind her being the Tribe Chief of the Chaos Vulture Tribe.
”But to become a Tribe Chief at such a young age is an achievement nonetheless,” Xue Wei said after a bit of time. ”If the elders had no faith in you, they would never have allowed you to assume the mantle of this position.”
Hearing this, the face of the Little Tribe Chief, which had been filled with self-ridicule, suddenly relaxed slightly, and gratitude was visible within her eyes.
The Little Tribe Chief was a beauty. She had a face that could rival any other beauty Xue Wei had seen, and even Wang Xiaoyun was not superior in this aspect. Of course, when Xue Wei looked at this woman, the feeling he had was completely different from when he looked at Wang Xiaoyun, but he had to acknowledge her beauty.
The Little Tribe Chief had a blush on her face as she said no more and led the two brothers towards the outskirts of the city of tents.
”I apologize for making you stay this far out,” she said after a bit of time and sighed deeply. ”The only free tents are out here. We always set up around ten empty tents for when we have marriages, but they are always on the outskirts of our tribe as every family has to contribute with achievements towards the tribe to move further in.”
Xue Wei and Hei Gou nodded their heads when they heard this; it made perfect sense to them.
They entered the tent and found that it was completely barren. The Little Tribe Chief was rather embarrassed when she saw this, and her pretty face flashed red, but Xue Wei and Hei Gou said nothing and just smiled at one another. This tent was also much hotter than the main tent housing the elders. But despite that, it didn't matter much because the energy in the Flowing Blood Prairie was much more dense than what could be found in Heping Kingdom, which led the two of them to immediately take a seat on the ground in a meditative position, commencing with their cultivation without wasting a single second.
Seeing this, the Little Tribe Chief blinked with surprise. These two did not even care about the fact that they were sitting on the tent floor itself. They did not even complain about the immense heat that swirled out from the tent. And they did not even say anything about the fact that there was no beds or blankets, either.
”Two freaks!” she exclaimed in her heart, but she said nothing out loud. Instead, she shook her head and decided to leave. She had a feeling they would remain in that state for quite the amount of time, given the determination with which they entered meditation.
Since this was the case, the Little Tribe Chief decided to go and scour the tribe for extra furniture, blankets, and whatever these two newly arrived experts could need.
Thinking back to the praise she had gotten from Xue Wei earlier, her heart fluttered slightly and a look of determination appeared in her eyes. She would prove to everyone that she deserved her position as the Tribe Chief!
