Chapter 2724: Everyone's coming for me!

Upon hearing the old man and the sturdy fellow's words, Ye Zhangqing had not yet answered, when the elder clan chief beside him shouted loudly.

How could this be acceptable? Ye Zhangqing would absolutely not go to the Iron Edge Tribe.

Who knows what these guys are thinking? If Ye Zhangqing goes to the Iron Edge Tribe, they'll just detain him—what then?

However, facing the elder clan chief's firm opposition, the old man and the sturdy fellow merely gave him an indifferent glance, then their gazes all fell on Ye Zhangqing.

You oppose? What good is your opposition? We're not even talking to you.

Facing the two's gazes, Ye Zhangqing remained calm, and the old man continued speaking.

"Ye Zhangqing, if you want to free the person, you definitely need to see our clan chief; just relying on the two of us speaking for you is far from enough."

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing remained silent, only the elder clan chief beside him anxiously said.

"Ye Zhangqing, you can't go; don't be foolish."

The elder clan chief is genuinely afraid, afraid that Ye Zhangqing will act rashly; if he really goes to the Iron Edge Tribe, isn't that just walking into a trap?

By then, whether he can return will entirely depend on their mood.

Facing the elder clan chief's strong objections, the old man and the sturdy fellow said nothing, merely silently watching Ye Zhangqing, waiting for him to decide.

Actually, how could Ye Zhangqing not know the danger involved? Indeed, as the elder clan chief said, if he really went to the Iron Edge Tribe, whether he could return would be uncertain.

There is some risk, but I cannot not go.

The person must be saved; even if there is some risk, Ye Zhangqing must take the chance.

The old man and the sturdy fellow had already made it clear: they want to eat Ye Zhangqing's cooking, and whether they release the person or not makes no great difference to the Iron Edge Tribe.

However, this matter ultimately depends on the clan chief's opinion; their speaking on Ye Zhangqing's behalf is still far from enough.

At the very least, we need to let the clan chief personally taste Ye Zhangqing's cooking.

Under the gaze of several people, Ye Zhangqing finally nodded.

"Alright, I'll go."

"Ye Zhangqing, you……."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, the elder clan chief's expression changed, while the old man and the sturdy fellow instead showed a satisfied smile.

"Haha, Ye Zhangqing, rest assured; with the two of us, going to the Iron Edge Tribe, I dare not say anything else, but safety is absolutely nothing to worry about."

The old man guaranteed solemnly; as soon as he finished speaking, the youth beside him quickly chimed in.

"Me too."

"You?" However, upon hearing that, the old man gave him a look of disdain: "What use are you?"

After nodding at the three, Ye Zhangqing turned and gave the anxious elder clan chief a reassuring glance.

"Ye Zhangqing, don't be foolish."

"Senior, rest assured; I, the junior, know the importance, and this trip must be undertaken."

Going is definitely necessary; this needs no consideration.

Before, there had been no news of anyone else; now, having finally obtained news, Ye Zhangqing will certainly not give up and must rescue the person.

Having said all this, seeing Ye Zhangqing's determined expression, the elder clan chief couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

After all, this is Ye Zhangqing's companion, fellow tribesperson; they want to rescue the person—what could the elder clan chief say?

Surely we can't just detain the person over this?

Doing so, not even Ye Zhangqing would agree—indeed, the old man and sturdy fellow of the Iron Edge Tribe would likely not consent either.

The parties involved have all agreed; what are you, an outsider, doing here muttering?

Surely you don't intend to withhold the person?

So, even if the elder clan chief is unwilling, he cannot stop it.

He could only resign himself to silence.

Seeing the elder clan chief no longer speaking, Ye Zhangqing turned his gaze to the old man and the sturdy fellow.

"But before we leave, we need to settle the matter of the Fire Spirit Tribe first."

After Tianlin's translation, upon hearing this, the old man and the sturdy fellow exchanged a glance.

Ye Zhangqing's meaning, the two guessed it immediately.

Since we're going back to the Iron Edge Tribe together, and you keep saying reassuring things with your mouths,

but relying solely on lip service won't do; at least we need to show some attitude.

And the best attitude would naturally be the Fire Spirit Tribe.

As a subsidiary tribe of the Iron Edge Tribe, if the old man and the sturdy fellow can help me obtain an explanation, that would undoubtedly be a demonstration of attitude.

As for these hints, the old man and the sturdy fellow are more than familiar with them.

So, upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the two felt no great hesitation, exchanged a glance, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Joking aside, having agreed to release the person, what's a mere subsidiary Fire Spirit Tribe?

As long as we can get this hot meal, within the bounds of not crossing the bottom line, any request Ye Zhangqing has can be discussed by the two old men.

Anyway, ultimately, it's not the Iron Edge Tribe that will be paying.

If the Fire Spirit Tribe gives an explanation, it's none of the Iron Edge Tribe's business.

The two nodded in agreement without any pressure.

"Fine, bring the Fire Spirit Tribe's clan chief, and I'll personally speak with them."

"If we've made a mistake, we naturally must bear responsibility."

What the two said was truly righteous; after speaking, they even gave Ye Zhangqing a reassuring look, as if they were speaking to him.

"Ye Zhangqing, rest assured, we are definitely on your side."

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing naturally smiled and replied in a couple of sentences, then nodded to the elder clan chief beside him.

This matter is entirely for the Flame Martial Tribe.

During this period, Ye Zhangqing naturally saw everything the Flame Martial Tribe did; doing this before leaving could also be considered a show of gratitude.

Seek some benefits for the Flame Martial Tribe.

Otherwise, once the Iron Edge Tribe's people leave, the Flame Martial Tribe won't be able to command those Tree Ghosts in the Black Mist Forest, and then trying to get an explanation from the Fire Spirit Tribe would be difficult.

Taking advantage of the fact that I haven't left yet, I'll help the Flame Martial Tribe settle this matter, thereby avoiding future trouble.

The Elder Clan Chief obviously also realized this, understood Ye Zhangqing's deeper intention, and a flash of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, merely nodding silently.

Soon, the Fire Spirit Tribe's Clan Chief, Huoming, and the many elders and other high-ranking members of the Fire Spirit Tribe were brought up.

When the group was brought into the courtyard, seeing the old man and the sturdy fellow, everyone's eyes flashed with excitement.

With the Iron Edge Tribe's support arriving, the Flame Martial Tribe isn't finished, is it?

In front of the Iron Edge Tribe, would the Flame Martial Tribe dare to act recklessly?

Even if there are those Tree Ghosts in the Black Mist Forest, what of it?

For a moment, these people of the Fire Spirit Tribe all showed excitement on their faces, secretly pleased.

The tides have turned, you scoundrels of the Flame Martial Tribe.

"Greetings, Elder."

Without anyone needing to speak, these people of the Fire Spirit Tribe already voluntarily performed the salute.
