Chapter 544: The Importance of Everyone Guarding Peace

That morning, Ying took a hundred warriors to aid the Giant Tribe; Rongdi was his brother, and when he had trouble, Ying would not ignore him.

So he decided to go himself to give them a hand; with the Giant Tribe back in Aurora's hands, that would also be beneficial to him.

At least, only by uniting can everyone face all enemies and dangers.

The sky was clear blue, and the gentle wind brought warmth.

Nan Qinghuan held Mengmeng, A Mu held Beibei and brought them here for her; Ying was reluctant to part with the children, but there was no choice—he had to resolve this matter so that the people of the tribes could unite.

Thus, if the Baiqi Tribe wanted to deal with them, he would have the support of two tribes and could wipe them out in one strike.

Although he did not want war, Qinghuan was right: war is fought to end war!

So he must prepare for any crisis, protect everyone in the Town, and ensure the children have a mother and a father!

The child was still young and did not understand separation; he just looked at his father happily and reached out to grab Ying's hair. Ying gently took the child's small hand, the big hand holding the little hand.

It was very harmonious.

The scene was moving; the tiny child tugged at his father's hand while the father was about to leave.

In the hearts of the tribe members, going out meant danger.

And Ying was going out to help Rongdi, so who knew what dangers he would face? Though he was strong and skilled, he was still just an ordinary mortal.

Just an ordinary man.

Seeing the child so cute made Ying reluctant, but he knew it was time to go!

He took a deep breath and kissed the child's cheek, "Wait for father to return."

Coincidentally, as soon as he left, Beibei began to wail loudly, and Mengmeng followed suit; this made Ying's heart ache even more, yet he did not look back and said coldly, "Depart."

In an instant, a group left the Small Town with him; after they were far away, Yao looked at Nan Qinghuan's teary eyes and said, "Goddess, don't worry, Ying's abilities are great, these soldiers were trained by us, very formidable, and will surely help Rongdi and the others."

"Yes, Goddess, no need to worry; if Ying handles it, it will certainly be done well."

Hearing the two, Nan Qinghuan merely smiled, hugged the child tightly, and nodded, "I know he will return. By the way, where are the Baiqi Tribe members being held?"

"The Baiqi Tribe members—do you want to see them?"

She recalled that Ying wanted to take her to see them, but circumstances delayed it; now Ying is gone, so she will handle it, and she is certain she can bring out the many of the Baiqi Tribe!

"Right, I want to see them—where are they?"

A Mu was a bit worried for her, "Qinghuan, you'd better not go, take the child, let Yao handle these."

"A Mu, don't worry, I'm fine. Please help me carry the child back; once I finish the matter, I'll come fetch the child."

She had already decided that when Ying was not at home, she would bring the child back to live together at her house, and she would also bring A Mu home, to live together.

That would make things livelier; she also wanted to spend more time with the child, more mother‑child moments.

She also wanted to enjoy this feeling.

A Mu originally wanted to say more, but seeing Nan Qinghuan's insistence she stayed silent, so… she nodded, "Alright, I'll take the child back first; later you can come feed the milk."

"Okay."

After A Mu left, Nan Qinghuan saw that Ying and the others were no longer visible and asked, "Is the Small Town's safety fully secured?"

Yao knew she would ask, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, no problem. I have already strengthened defenses and patrols, and the Luoke Tribe members are also building a fence; once it's finished they'll enclose this area, and beasts won't be able to harm people or farms."

The Small Town is slowly expanding; a fence is only a temporary measure and will soon be unnecessary, but recently many tribe members reported beasts entering the fields and destroying farms, and only a fence can keep those beasts outside.

Thus it guarantees the safety of people and farms.

Hearing Yao's words, Nan Qinghuan nodded; that was great.

"Alright, let's go meet them."

After Nan Qinghuan and the others left, a tall man appeared in the crowd; a round hole was in his nose with a tiny horn hanging from it, and his sharp eyes fixed on Nan Qinghuan's departing silhouette.

Indeed, he had been standing here watching Nan Qinghuan for a long time!

He, called Duosheng, was followed by a dark‑skinned woman; her hair was braided, looking rather odd, and she wore a pair of straw sandals.

Those were the most ordinary shoes on the market, very cheap.

"That White-skinned Female is Nan Qinghuan; Ying has already left. Should we act tonight?"

The woman walked to the man and asked him, wanting to know the next move.

Indeed, they had been waiting here for a long opportunity; but the last time those two idiots stole the child, they didn't bring it to them and tried to flee, so they killed them, yet the child was not found!

Later they learned that the child had been rescued by the people of the Small Town.

They had spent half a day achieving nothing; this was what they most refused to admit, but now there was no other way, and fortunately the chance had arrived.

Ying had now left the Small Town; only that woman was in charge. She had two formidable men beside her, but in Yezi's mind, they were not fearsome.

As long as they could capture the Small Town, they could occupy this place, seize all territories; everything here would be theirs.

Thinking of this made them very excited!

Facing the woman's question, Duofa slightly frowned and curled his lips, "Why the hurry? Our people haven't arrived yet. Didn't you see they're all on guard? Tonight first rescue our people, and when all our people are here we'll burn the Tulou."

Hearing Duofa's words, Yezi nodded, "Alright, chief, don't worry; tonight we will definitely rescue them."

After the two disappeared, Li Xiang and Duo Luo emerged nearby; they had gone out for a walk but saw two sneaky individuals.

Their gaze had just been fixed on Nan Qinghuan's direction, which was clearly problematic.

Duo Luo and Li Xiang, being a clever couple, naturally knew these two were of unknown origin!

"Li Xiang, these two are strange."

Duo Luo's belly was already four months pregnant, visibly showing; they had gone out for a walk, but unexpectedly encountered the sneaky people.

Now that Ying had gone to help Rongdi, she felt they needed to be more vigilant.

Li Xiang gave her a deep look, "Send someone to trail them and see where they go; I'll go find my junior sister."

"Alright, I'll send someone to trail."

When Duo Luo was about to leave, Li Xiang suddenly turned his head, gave her a glance, and whispered, "Duo Luo, be careful."

It was his first time saying this to Duo Luo; previously she was adept at catching people and was clever, never in danger, but now she was pregnant, and he was still very worried.

So he has to remind her.

Duo Luo turned her head and locked eyes with him, their gazes filled with tender affection.

"Don't worry, I will definitely catch them."
