Chapter 375 (2/2)

The Shamaness repeated what Shao Xuan said, introducing Shao Xuan.

When she finished, all of them were wide-eyed. Some of them knew of this period in history, while the rest were confused. It was shocking news, it meant their tribe was never complete!

“Shao Xuan, you’re very young. It must have been a difficult journey coming here,” sighed an elder, looking at Shao Xuan with eyes filled with warmth and kindness. After a moment of thought, he added, “Everyone, take good care of him.”

Duo Kang smirked. “Shao Xuan’s stronger than Zhui.” While the ones here could beat Zhui, how many here could confidently win Shao Xuan? This guy did not need them to care for him, it would already be amazing if they did not provoke this person into hitting someone else.

“Right, Shao Xuan, how did you enter the tribe?” asked Duo Kang. Were the guards slacking off during patrol? The guards left their posts without permission?

Shao Xuan looked at Guang Yi, who was not speaking. “I was brought in by Uncle Guang Yi.”

When he heard his name, he looked up to see everyone looking at him sceptically. “I brought you in?” It was obvious he did not remember Shao Xuan. If he had spent more time with him or fought him, the memory would’ve been stronger but they didn’t.

“Yesterday evening, when it was almost sunset. You brought me to Zhao Ming’s house,” reminded Shao Xuan.

After a moment of thought, Guang Yi gasped, “So it was you!”

The chief and the rest were speechless. Duo Kaang cursed to himself, “Guang Yi you idiot, I was so underprepared for this I almost couldn’t blow the horn!”

The shamaness took a sip of water then said slowly, “Shao Xuan, since you’re an Elder in the other Flaming Horn, you’re also one here.”

The rest all looked at the shamaness. The position of an Elder had been empty for years, it was even a taboo to speak of it. The mere mention of it made the shamans sad, yet now the taboo was lifted? And it was passed to a person who could’ve been her grandchild.

Although they had their opinions, they did not dare speak up. Well, Shao Xuan’s appearance was still a very major thing to the tribe, plus the guy’s wearing the Elder’s bone!

It didn’t matter what they agreed on, the shamaness knocked her walking stick on the ground with a frown for them to quiet down. But when she turned to Shao Xuan, her gaze was much less stern. “Shao Xuan, you mentioned you weren’t sure if you can return safely through the underwater tunnel once again. Why don’t’ you stay for the moment? We can go with you once we have a better idea. Part of our roots is there after all!”

Everyone agreed and could not wait to leave. They wanted to see their ‘brothers’ on the other side.

Shao Xuan nodded. “Alright.” He wanted a better, safer method to bring the rest over too. He wondered if the people here went over, would Flaming Horn return to its past glory?

With a pause, the shamaness said, “In two days, we shall hold the ceremony for welcoming Elder Shao Xuan. Please make the appropriate arrangments.”

The most important things had been settled so the shamaness shooed everyone out. When they all left, the shamaness brought Shao Xuan over to show him records kept by her ancestors. Since he was an Elder, he had the right to see these things. There were records of their experiences and the changes in the fire seed.

Other people were banned from entering.

Shao Xuan read the records in the designated room. In the house next door, the shamaness pulled out the box containing the other Elder’s Bones. There were three inside, each had a dull bead. It was completely different from Shao Xuan’s, like a rusty knife compared to a new knife. There was a sense of deep, ancient sleep in them.
