Chapter 360: Rongdi and Yao Let a Smile Erase Their Grudges

Not far away, Rongdi surprisingly came with Gulang and Xuanfeng, and also delivered some gifts: there were sheep, rabbits and some small animals, all of which Rongdi captured himself.

When they saw Rongdi arrive, Li Xiang and Duo Luo were quite astonished; the two hurried forward to greet Rongdi, "Chief".

Rongdi glanced at the two and laughed brightly, "What's going on with you? Why are you celebrating Yao without waiting for me? You came so hurriedly?"

Li Xiang instantly understood; Rongdi was willing. He was already ready to bow to Yao, and for the sake of the Tribe's development he could truly do all this. Needless to say, this left Li Xiang feeling amazed.

Of course, he was even more impressed with this Beastman.

He truly isn't the kind of barbaric, unreasonable person.

"Rongdi, welcome to the Wolf Clan; as a guest, please have a seat."

Nan Qinghuan realized the situation was turning dramatic, and hurried to help Yao and Rongdi reconcile. Although she knew Yao still harbored resentment over Rongdi killing her mother, this is the law of survival: the weak are devoured, so the Tribe must develop; only when strong can one avoid being bullied.

They won't be exterminated.

She thought Yao must also understand this principle.

He has understood it from beginning to end.

Sure enough, Rongdi's gaze turned to Nan Qinghuan; it had been a long time since he saw her, and her belly had also swelled. He strode forward, stared at her belly for several minutes, then glanced at Ying beside him.

"Ying, I haven't congratulated you on becoming a father yet."

Those words were sincere; in the past, Rongdi couldn't let go of Nan Qinghuan, and actually he still feels the same now, only he has changed the way he expresses his affection.

A way that doesn't disturb—quietly loving.

He thought he would never marry in his lifetime, because he couldn't find a female as good as Nan Qinghuan.

Rongdi's standards are very high; ordinary females don't appeal to him.

Seeing Rongdi so forthright, Ying also laughed brightly and looked at Yao, "Yao, since Rongdi is sincerely here to celebrate, he is our guest; we must treat guests with fine wine and dishes, don't you think?"

When those words were spoken, everyone looked at Yao; Ashu, who was drinking, also came over. He whispered softly into Yao's ear, "Yao, accept him, even if it's for the Tribe."

For the Tribe, we must accept Rongdi.

This made Yao feel uneasy, but… he took a deep breath; with everyone watching him, he strode to Rongdi's side and met his gaze, "Rongdi, you sent people to kill my mother and tribe members last time; do you dare to toast them?"

Boom!

Those words shocked everyone; what, making Rongdi toast? He wouldn't.

In this Tribe, toasting signifies that Rongdi is at fault; he must sincerely apologize to every member of the Wolf Clan.

Moreover, he must also apologize to the deceased tribe members.

Hearing this, Duo Luo became quite anxious; what to do? Rongdi's willingness to come is already good enough, making Yao force him to toast is too much bullying!

"What, no sincerity? Since you lack sincerity, then…"

"Who says I don't?"

Suddenly, Rongdi walked to the table, lifted a large bowl of wine, then strode to Yao's side and said, "I can apologize to them, we can live in peace and cooperate for development, let the past be forgotten. Yao, what do you think?"

Rongdi's words were sincere, something no one had expected.

Yao paused at his willingness, then quickly nodded.

Soon, Yao led Rongdi to pay respects to his mother; everyone was waiting here. Li Xiang and Duo Luo, as a couple, hurried up and said, "Qinghuan, Ying, thank you both."

Those were Li Xiang's sincere words; if this road issue isn't resolved, then there'll be no talk of development for Rongdi, and later Rongdi's traffic blockage will cause a big problem.

Ying previously couldn't stand Li Xiang, but now he's changed his mind because he feels Li Xiang truly acts for the Tribe.

He's also becoming more like a Tribe member.

That's a good thing for him.

"I know you need to build roads; this might be the best choice for Rongdi and Yao. To become prosperous, first build roads. Rongdi is a smart man; he will explain clearly to Yao."

Those words were taught by Nan Qinghuan to Ying: to become prosperous, first build roads; he kept them in his heart.

Soon, the two returned, and they were even laughing and chatting, which left the Tribe members stunned.

"How did it get resolved so quickly? Chief, do we really have to forgive Rongdi?"

Then Asu stepped forward, looked at Yao, and Yao nodded, "We are now friends; let's drink the celebratory wine—once we drink, we're family. Rongdi, after this cup, we'll discuss the land exchange later. How does that sound?"

"Haha, having wine is of course the best. Here, give me a big bowl."

And so, what everyone thought would require a fight to resolve instead eased smoothly; they drank the celebratory wine.

No one expected that Rongdi could personally come to congratulate Yao.

Of course, Nan Qinghuan and Ying also hadn't expected it.

Nan Qinghuan and the others sat at one table; that day the Wolf Clan was very lively.

After the meal they all got drunk, but Ying drank very little because he still had to return to handle some matters; Winter was approaching and the Tribe began harvesting rice to prepare for winter.

He also needed to stockpile food.

When departing, he told Yao about the Poison Toad issue; upon learning that their area was being invaded by toads, Yao immediately had someone prepare something called Zi Mu Grass and handed it to Ying.

"I know that's a Masai pet, but it's okay; Zi Mu Grass is its nemesis. If you place these at the Tribe's gate, they won't dare come."

Seeing this so‑called grass, Nan Qinghuan was astonished: what kind of Zi Mu Grass is this? Isn't this the Calamus they used during the Dragon Boat Festival before? So the Ancient People used it to scare off Poison Toads? Could it really work? Apparently seeing through Nan Qinghuan's worry, Yao nodded, "It's effective, rest assured you can use it; Masai pets are afraid of this."

Ying was very pleased, because he knew the item was useful.

"Alright, thank you. Take your time discussing with Rongdi. I hope the three Tribes can all have Carriages in the future; I'll go back and build a One Street, so that the three Tribes can exchange goods more conveniently."

"One Street?"

For Yao, that was a fresh term. Ying nodded, "Exactly, a One Street. In the future you'll understand; we're far from Shanhai Yishi. If we can build a street beside the Tribes, then exchanging goods will be very convenient. What do you think?"

Yao thought that now there were Carriages, so this was a good idea.

From now on, anyone can go exchange goods as needed.

"Alright, I agree."

"I agree as well; the three Tribes will thereafter develop independently, visiting each other as brothers."

Rongdi came forward and stated his promise; the three shared a knowing smile. Ying looked up, let out a hearty laugh, "Rongdi, that's what you said, then it's settled."
