Chapter 578: Her Peerless Hero Comes to Fetch Her

How could that be, how would she know? Nan Qinghuan smiled lightly, looking very relaxed, "Of course I know. In fact, when you came to Kuaihuo City, Ashu had already discovered you. You thought Ying and the others had left, that the city only had some women who couldn't protect their homes?"

His words made Nan Tian feel very ashamed. Yes, they had thought that way at the time, so he went with over a hundred men, but he hadn't expected… "Now I don't dare underestimate you."

"No, it's not that you underestimate us; you underestimate everyone and also underestimate each Common Person's resolve to defend their home."

Seeing the determination and belief in Nan Qinghuan's eyes, Nan Tian realized how absurdly wrong he was.

It was a huge mistake.

"I'm sorry, my people are starving, I have no way."

"Forget it, I never blamed you; otherwise I wouldn't have given you this chance. Let's go, take a look at your Tribe?"

Thus, under the sunlight, Nan Tian and Nan Qinghuan walked toward the Tribe. Nan Tian gladly invited her to join the Tribe, and after joining, Nan Qinghuan realized that their Tribe was truly… exactly the same as the former Ying Tribe.

The Ying Tribe could develop because it was on flat ground, but here it wasn't; the mountains are too high to cultivate. Moreover, due to today's weather, that girl said many fruits hadn't borne fruit, so the Clan Leader thought of attacking them.

However, she no longer held a grudge against that boy; he had helped her when dealing with bandits, so she forgave him and decided to redeem the Tribe's people.

Of course, it's not purely redemption; she wants to subjugate the Bai Tribe and achieve true unification.

To solve these troubles for Ying.

If the Bai People aren't conquered, they'll come knocking later, which would be a hassle for them.

Thus, going with the flow to subjugate them all is her second objective.

After surveying the whole Tribe and seeing those emaciated people, Nan Qinghuan had a single word.

Poverty!

The people don't know how to farm or do anything else; they only perform primitive labor. This will have to be gradually changed when they go to the city, and she was pondering how to help them better adapt to life in Kuaihuo City.

Nan Tian saw her silent and thought she was disdainful of this place; he felt a bit embarrassed, "Nan Qinghuan, this is just how it is here."

"Alright, no need to feel embarrassed. This place truly can't be lived in any longer; otherwise you, as Clan Leader, wouldn't last long."

She saw that some people no longer wanted to recognize Lan Tian as Clan Leader.

Can't get enough food and now a civil war—this kid is a real trouble.

But Nan Tian was startled by her words, "What did you say?"

Nan Qinghuan smiled, pointed at some weeds on the ground, "If these grasses aren't cleared, they'll spread everywhere after a while; in summer people won't get through. Your people are really too lazy."

That's also a problem; they don't even tidy up the place at their own doorstep. She worried whether this group could stand on their own in the city. Lan Tian knew she was disdainful, but as long as there's a chance, he wouldn't give up.

"I know what to do now, I…"

"Trouble, Clan Leader."

A girl rushed over, "Trouble, Clan Leader, a large force is marching toward us, it's Ying and his men."

What? Ying is coming? Here, when Ying rode his White Horse toward this side, he was visibly furious—furious to the extreme. This time he brought dozens of men to encircle the Bai Tribe.

Of course, he also came to fetch Nan Qinghuan.

"Stop."

Ying reached out to halt the people behind him, then coldly ordered, "Go tell Nan Tian to surrender quickly, or I'll blow up this mountain."

He has conquered many places and collected many treasures, so now his arsenal surpasses those of other regions; he acquired a more powerful weapon.

Just a few small pieces can flatten this mountaintop.

The power is astonishing!

When those words were spoken, his subordinates hurried to deliver the message. Ying was furious; upon returning he heard that Nan Qinghuan had come here, taken away by Lan Tian, and he wanted to blow up the mountain immediately.

How could his woman go with someone else? "Stop."

Suddenly, Nan Qinghuan's voice came from not far away, and Ying immediately leapt from his horse. Sure enough, Nan Qinghuan and that youth hurried toward him. Seeing Nan Qinghuan again, Ying suddenly felt a long‑unseen sensation.

"Qinghuan"

"Ying"

It had been a long time since they'd seen Ying; his face was tanned, and his build was even more towering and strong.

The couple had been apart for a month; this time they finally met.

They embraced tightly.

This embrace had been waited for far too long by both Nan Qinghuan and Ying!

"Oumu, how did you end up here? Ying is worried."

Dashan interjected from the side; fortunately Nan Qinghuan was unharmed. If there truly were trouble, Ying would indeed unleash a massive slaughter.

He is now the most formidable ruler on Jiuzhou Dadi; no one can oppose him, let alone compete for his women!

Nan Qinghuan gently pushed Ying aside, then introduced Lan Tian and the others, "Ying, this is Nan Tian. He has now chosen to bring his people down the mountain and submit to us."

"What?"

Ying certainly doesn't want Nan Tian to submit, because he intends to kill him!

He felt uneasy looking at Nan Tian, because he was standing too close to his woman, which made him jealous and upset.

"Ying, I am willing to join Kuaihuo City."

Nan Tian knew Ying was hard to deal with, but for his people he could only give it his all.

Ying, however, gave Nan Tian a cold stare, then glanced at the people behind him, and finally fixed his gaze on Nan Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, come over, I have something to tell you."

Nan Qinghuan knew her man too well; his posture clearly showed he didn't want reconciliation. She nodded, then said to Lan Tian, "You wait for us."

Nan Tian felt anxious inside, yet still nodded, his eyes filled with hope.

"I'll wait for you."

His words made Ying even more displeased; the youth's gaze at Qinghuan was affectionate.

He is a man, and he knows exactly what men think of each other!

Soon, he pulled Nan Qinghuan under a large tree; dappled sunlight illuminated Ying's face, and Nan Qinghuan saw a scar on his cheek.

What is this? "Are you injured?"
