Chapter 485: The Grudge Between Rongdi and Yueguang

What grievance could make this man ignore danger to come to this wing, and now threaten them with the Salt matter.

He doesn't want to look for Ying also because he's afraid of being caught, but unfortunately he has already entered her ambush circle.

But she cannot anger this man; she is heavily pregnant now and cannot run away, so she must not act impulsively.

Nan Qinghuan wants to know the grudge between Yueguang and Rongdi, but Yueguang has little patience; he won't coax a woman, nor will he give Nan Qinghuan a good face like Ying does.

He comes here in great danger; if he is caught, he will die.

He isn't that stupid.

"Less idle talk. If you agree, tell me; if you don't agree, then you haven't seen me."

After dropping those words, Yueguang turned to leave, but unexpectedly a sharp voice came from behind.

"Yueguang, where do you want to go?"

In an instant, Rongdi's voice came from behind, and immediately a group of people surrounded the place; Na Yao led a squad of guards toward here.

When Yueguang realized they were surrounded, he grew a bit anxious, turned, and glared fiercely at Nan Qinghuan.

"You female, you dare …"

"I have nothing I don't dare, Rongdi; this person is yours now, go handle him."

"Qinghuan, thank you."

Indeed, when she arrived Nan Qinghuan had already decided to find Rongdi to resolve this matter; in fact she had guessed that this man is a relative of Rongdi.

If not, this man wouldn't resemble Rongdi at all.

She had been observing these things carefully.

"Rongdi."

Yueguang also seemed unhurried, because if it falls into Rongdi's hands he might still have a chance to survive.

Rongdi's expression was complex as he looked at the Yueguang before him; they hadn't seen each other for years, and he hadn't expected to meet here now. "Yueguang, I guessed it was you early on."

"Rongdi."

Jiguang, who had been hiding behind, could no longer wait; she rushed out to Rongdi's side and then reached out to grab his hand, "This man wants to kill you, kill him."

She had just heard that this man still wants Rongdi's life; truly overconfident.

Rongdi looked at Yueguang as well, nodded to her, his eyes full of gentleness, "Jiguang, you first go back with Qinghuan and the others; I'll handle the matters here."

"You handle it, but I'm afraid …"

"I won't have any trouble; you go back, go home and cook while you wait for my return; I still have a gift to give you."

There is a gift to give her, which made Jiguang very happy; women are easy to appease. Originally Jiguang wanted to stay here and face it together with her man, but Rongdi wanted her to go back.

She obediently went back.

"Then I'll go home first to cook; I'll wait for you to return."

Now Jiguang is like a little woman, equally clingy, which made Nan Qinghuan smile suddenly; it seems everyone has found their own happiness.

So nice.

"Jiguang, also check my body for me; I think this child may be due early, I need to prepare."

Here, after Nan Qinghuan left with Jiguang, Na Yao originally intended to kill Yueguang, but Rongdi told him not to act.

"Brother, don't rush; you go back to train the troops, I'll handle my own matters."

Na Yao feared this man would hurt Rongdi, but after Rongdi said that, what else could he say? He just nodded, "My soldiers are training nearby; if you need help, just sound the signal."

Na Yao handed him a Bamboo Flute; this was the contact code Ying had mentioned. When urgent matters arise and there's no time, having this makes things much more convenient.

Rongdi took it in his hand and clenched it tightly.

"Good brother, good."

After Na Yao left, only a dozen or so people remained here; Yueguang's men were still confronting him.

"I didn't expect that you, a respectable tribe chief, would not act, yet come here to heed others' words. Rongdi, had I known you'd abandon the Na Shan Tribe, I would have said from the start I would never let you become chief."

"Do you deserve it?"

Rongdi sneered, then gave him a cold glance, "You think that by becoming chief, your people will live better?"

"That's still better than being controlled by others now."

Yueguang was still dissatisfied; he had thought Rongdi could improve the Na Shan Tribe, making it the largest tribe in Jiuzhou, but when he returned he learned that the Na Shan Tribe had become a Small Town, with no tribal members left.

He had also visited the Na Shan Tribe; it was now deserted, a wasteland everywhere, the Treehouses empty, silently recounting their former splendor and bustle.

At that moment all his ambitions vanished. He had originally returned to contest Rongdi for the chief position, but now the tribe no longer existed—what could he fight for? So, after probing the situation here, he devised a plan.

Now Rongdi cannot be killed in this Small Town, but he can use the Salt issue to force Nan Qinghuan and the others to act against Rongdi; he wants them to regret it, to watch him die at Ying's hands, to die at his opponent's hands.

But he didn't expect that Nan Qinghuan would… does she not care about the people's lives here? Without Salt, this place will rapidly decline; he already knows clearly that tribe members lacking Salt have little strength for work, and he is using this point to threaten Nan Qinghuan.

"Didn't expect… 'Control? You think the tribe likes being controlled by you, yet you don't look at this Small Town; our tribe can live well here. If they stayed in the Na Shan Tribe they'd still live the old way. Do you think I haven't considered this? For the tribe's happiness, I don't need to be chief; as long as they are well, I'd be happy even as a lifelong general."

"I didn't expect Rongdi would ever admit defeat; it seems that woman Nan Qinghuan is truly important to you, important enough that you would give the tribe to her to please her."

"Shut up, you are not allowed to babble here. Yueguang, back then I didn't kill you, which was already giving you a chance to live; I didn't expect you to still dare return, to cause trouble on my wedding day. Today if I don't kill you here, I won't be called Rongdi."

"Fine then, do you dare to fight me? Send your men back."

These two brothers were about to fight; the tribe members, seeing Rongdi arrive, were indeed frightened, and many tried to step forward to comfort Yueguang, hoping he would just leave it at that.

Because they are few in number, Rongdi is now some kind of general; crossing him will not end well.

People are always like that; they can assess the times and find the most advantageous situation for themselves, and the Ancient People were the same.

They are not stupid, just lacking further knowledge, yet they still know how to protect themselves.

"Yueguang, let's just drop it; since the tribe lives well here, we have no way to force them back to the tribe, let's go."

"Go, it's not that easy; all these years I've suffered because of Rongdi; I will kill him and bring all the tribe back."

Rongdi made a fighting stance, fluttered his wings, "Fine, let's see if you've improved these years."
