Chapter 383: Recite the Tribe Rules for Me

Axi stuck out her tongue to show she didn't know, but Ying ignored her, then carefully lifted Nan Qinghuan out. The outside sun was blazing, the newborn sun shone on Nan Qinghuan's face. Ying had Dashan fetch a leaf, then gently placed it over Nan Qinghuan, and smiled to himself.

If Qinghuan is tired, don't wake her up.

When he returned this time, Youchao Xuan and Ashu hurried over, "Ying, something's happened."

"Shh, I'll take Qinghuan back; you wait outside for me."

Ying, fearing to wake Nan Qinghuan, silenced everyone. Then Ashu and Youchao Xuan truly waited there for him. After Ying carried Nan Qinghuan away, Axi looked enviously, staring at Dashan with eyes full of anticipation.

"Dashan, when can you treat me like Ying does? I want you to hold me too."

Dashan gave her a cold look, "Can't you see how heavy you are now? I can't lift you. You're not as skinny as Oumu; look, your face is bigger than a washbasin."

"Fine, you Dashan, you dare call me fat."

"Alright, stop teasing. I'm not Ying, I'm not Oumu either. By the way, Youchao Xuan, Ashu, what's wrong? What's the matter?"

I really didn't expect that someone we accepted just yesterday would cause trouble today. Why? Because some conflict made them start fighting.

Ashu and Youchao Xuan separated the clan members fighting on both sides and even detained them; without detaining them, they would have kept fighting right there.

Hearing that, Dashan grew irritated, "I told you we can't keep those people; now trouble's arisen. How bold to bully members of our Ying Tribe. I'll go deal with them."

"Never mind, Dashan; what good would it do if you go? Let Ying handle it."

Youchao Xuan remained very calm; he recalled that when their clan first came here, the headquarters people were dissatisfied, calling them food‑and‑drink seekers, calling them pigs.

He had never said those words to Ying or the Goddess; instead, he explained to his own clan that they came here seeking refuge, not to be high‑and‑mighty.

But that group seemed not to understand, so they quarreled.

"Indeed, let Ying come. What good is your going? It only makes the fighting worse, which isn't good for unity. Ah, if the Goddess woke up, that'd be great; she'd surely know how to persuade them."

"Don't think about the Goddess; she's pregnant now and exhausted. Let her rest. Come, let's go see."

When Ying returned, he gently placed Nan Qinghuan on the bed; she was indeed tired and slept deeply.

She showed no sign of waking at all.

Ying knew she was tired; actually yesterday he didn't want her to go, but he still understood Qinghuan's temper—if her senior brother was repairing a house and he didn't go, she would certainly be upset.

See, after going, she became very tired.

Sleep.

She placed a gentle kiss on Nan Qinghuan's forehead, then covered her with the quilt, gave her a deep look, and finally turned and left.

Just as she stepped out, A Mu outside grabbed his arm.

"Ying, come out quickly."

Ying saw A Mu hurriedly close the door, then rushed out, "A Mu, what's wrong?"

"Oh dear, what's happening? There's trouble—people from the tribe are bullying our tribe's people, and they're about to fight. You should drive them all away; these people can't stay here."

"What, they're about to fight?"

Ying furrowed his brows, glanced at the wooden door, "A Mu, keep your voice down, go out, don't wake Qinghuan."

Just as they went out, a group of clan members arrived outside.

They were all from his tribe.

"Ying, you're back. Look at those people you sheltered yesterday; they're so audacious, not only daring to insult us but also trying to seize our farmland. How can we keep people like that?"

"Indeed, Ying, these people came from outside; without our shelter they'd starve, but they can't bully members of our own tribe. You must drive them away."

These clan members were aggressive; Ying only pinched his brows. He hadn't rested all night and his head ached badly.

"Enough, stop talking. I'll go check what's happening and then I'll know; you go do your work first."

When Ying gave the order, everyone had to leave. After they departed, A Mu kept chattering, "Ying, the Asma Tribe people are too aggravating; we can't let them stay here."

"Alright, A Mu, stop talking; I'll go see what's happening."

When Ying arrived, the scene was chaotic: Asma Tribe people were about to clash with his people, both sides brandishing spears in a provocative stance, and the clan members had stopped working, all rushing to join the fight.

This can't happen!

Seeing this, Ying's face turned pale, "Stop it right now."

At his command, those clan members immediately ceased fighting and all turned to look at him.

Ying remained as towering as ever, intimidating everyone.

"Ying, you arrived just in time. Look, these foreign clan members want to take our things and even insult us!"

,"

"Ying, it's not like that. They insult us, steal our things, claim we're captives here, force us to work for them. Ying, didn't you say you'd treat our clan members as your own? Why are they bullying us?"

The Asma Tribe leader Chun also came to complain, and Ying finally understood what was happening.

He looked at Youchao Xuan, "Youchao Xuan, did you understand?"

Youchao Xuan nodded, "I get it. There's a misunderstanding between them, and some of our clan members acted aggressively, so this happened. Decide how to handle it; the world opening is tomorrow, and if these people aren't resolved properly I'm afraid trouble will arise."

Youchao Xuan thought far ahead; he didn't want any incidents on the streets tomorrow. Though this group had come to seek refuge, they still numbered over eighty. If they rebel or cause trouble, the Ying Tribe would be in big trouble.

At the very least, the rumor would sound bad.

If we say they bully the livelihood, other tribes wouldn't dare to seek refuge. Ying looked at Chun, then at the fiercest fighter, A Tian.

"A Tian, what did they say to you? Did you let them work in your land?"

The young man named A Tian felt a bit embarrassed, stepped forward and chuckled, "Ying, aren't they just here to eat and drink? Why be polite to them? They think bringing a few treasures lets them stay here? Of course they have to work; what would they eat otherwise?"

"Bold one, who told you to say that? Since I accepted them, they're members of the Ying Tribe. Youchao Xuan, recite the Tribe Rules for them."
