Chapter 474: My Woman Is Always Right

Yao knows Ying doesn't want to let the Tamed Beast Tribe's A Yao leave, so he had someone imprison her; now the Goddess has already let him release her—what should we do? Nan Qinghuan already has a plan, gently places a hand on Yao's shoulder, "Don't worry, I know how to explain to him. You go handle your business first. I heard Youchao Xuan and the others have already posted the Town Rules, right?"

"They're already posted, but that will cause some people to leave here."

"Leave?"

"Exactly, some of them can't accept the constraints here."

Hearing that, Nan Qinghuan didn't think much of it, "These are only temporary. Those people, when they were in the Tribe before, also had to obey the Tribe Rules, right? So why are they unwilling now that they're living here?"

Yao also thought she was right and was about to say something when, not far away, Ying arrived with Youchao Xuan and others, and Li Xiang!

Li Xiang saw her and blinked at her, indicating that Ying was angry; Nan Qinghuan naturally knew senior brother was reminding her. Looking at Ying, he was standing there, having stopped.

Today Ying wore a brand‑new leather jacket; now leather jackets are being sold, so A Mu spent a lot of money to buy Ying a new outfit.

And indeed, it showed off his broad shoulders, looking quite handsome.

These days Ying has his hair tied up and is no longer the savage she feared back then!

Seeing Nan Qinghuan standing there with Yao, Ying's eyes scanned her, and when he saw she didn't come over, he was silent for a moment, thought it over, and then went up himself.

He walked up and took her hand.

"Qinghuan, I have something to tell you."

He had been very angry at first, but seeing Qinghuan he calmed down. He wanted to hear her thoughts; he also knew his woman wouldn't act so recklessly, so he chose to trust her and wanted to know exactly what she was thinking.

Nan Qinghuan glanced at Li Xiang and the others behind her, "Senior brother, how's the School's construction going?"

Li Xiang didn't know why she suddenly asked that, hurried forward, "Almost done; next month school can start, and the children here will finally have a place to study."

"That's wonderful, Ying, could you take me to see it?"

Ying was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I'll take you to see it."

Ying, after taking Nan Qinghuan's hand, slowly walked forward, while Li Xiang and Yao stood there watching their departing silhouettes.

"Yao, do you think Ying will get angry and blame Qinghuan?"

Li Xiang still didn't understand Ying well. Nan Qinghuan had secretly released that Tamed Beast Tribe woman; Ying was very angry when he heard, and now he came to find Qinghuan again, but he couldn't tell whether he would blame her. On one hand he didn't want Nan Qinghuan to suffer injustice; on the other hand he thought perhaps Nan Qinghuan really made a mistake this time. After that woman was let go, she would surely report the situation here to the leaders of their tribe, and then, when those people learned how good this place is, they would look for a chance to attack.

They have just wiped out the Lasi Tribe, and the population is growing; they need to develop production first, not go to war.

Hearing Li Xiang's concerns, Youchao Xuan just smiled, "Alright, don't worry. I can assure you nothing will happen. Who is the Goddess? Everything she does only brings us benefit. Yao, did the Goddess do something to that woman, or say something to her?"

Believe it or not, the one who knows Nan Qinghuan is Youchao Xuan. Hearing his words, Yao was astonished but still nodded, "How did you know?"

"Yeah, Youchao Xuan, how could you know?"

Youchao Xuan just smiled, his gaze distant as he watched their departing silhouettes, "Of course I know. The Goddess acts with restraint; she was once my goddess."

Here, Youchao Xuan praised Nan Qinghuan; there, Ying took Nan Qinghuan to their newly built School, a huge Tulou designed from the plans, large enough to accommodate dozens of children for study.

Although it's still quite crude, it's already much better.

Step by step, progress, step by step, change.

At noon, the sun shone brightly.

Ying finally let go of her hand; under the dappled sunlight, Nan Qinghuan's face was bathed in solar light, as if a faint halo had been cast upon her.

Very beautiful.

"Tell me, why did you release that woman?"

Ying still asked. Actually, when he first learned of it he was very angry, but now he's no longer angry; after calming down he realized Qinghuan must have had her own reasoning.

So, he wanted to hear what her thoughts were. Nan Qinghuan squinted slightly, then took a deep breath, reached out and gently stroked Ying's face. His beard had grown long and hadn't been shaved yet; before, she used to shave it for him, but now she didn't need to. Ying now shaves his own beard each morning, making himself a very proper person.

"Ying, I released her for our sake."

She thought it over and decided to explain clearly, otherwise the man would be displeased.

"For us, Qinghuan, she is from the Tamed Beast Tribe. Do you know why I didn't let her go? If she left, the tribe's leader would learn about our situation and would rally other tribes to invade us. I know you can tame beasts, but we don't want war now; do you understand?"

"I think the same; I don't want war either, which is why I let A Yao go."

"A Yao, that woman's name is A Yao?"

"Exactly. I pretended to deceive her and gave her poison, sending her back so that she would tell her leader that we are starving here every day, that it's not as good as Luosang says. Then the Tamed Beast Tribe leader wouldn't covet this place. I found out that their land is far from ours; when he learns of our situation, it will be at least a year later. Even if he wants to attack us then, he won't have the strength. Even if he unites other tribes, we won't fear him. We have a year to develop, to stockpile troops and forge weapons. Ying, what do you think?"

Seeing that Nan Qinghuan had already made arrangements, Ying was truly pleased with her, because what she said addressed his concerns—a year's time.

But will that woman A Yao really follow Qinghuan's plan? "Qinghuan, will she really be obedient enough to deceive her leader?"
