Chapter 2738: Clan Chief, you've gone too far

After learning the truth from Ye Zhangqing, the two elders were completely dumbfounded.

From the start, everything they thought was wrong; Ye Zhangqing went to see the Clan Chief, not only did he not upset him, but he also managed to win him over.

The Clan Chief even bestowed immortal brew, and they drank together.

What the hell is this? So the Clan Chief had been playing them all along, never intending to harm Ye Zhangqing from start to finish.

Perhaps the Clan Chief had already decided to release those Human Race cultivators.

They had been kept in the dark all along.

The two elders' feelings are indescribable; they were completely played by the Clan Chief.

Now, thinking it over, many things become clear.

With this kid's Chúyì, who could dislike him? Plus, there's no grudge with the Human Race, so letting them go is fine.

After eating Ye Zhangqing's food, even if the Clan Chief doesn't say so, the two probably won't think of harming those Human Race cultivators anymore.

What's this little face worth? It doesn't harm their interests, and they can befriend Ye Zhangqing to enjoy more of such divine delicacies.

No need to hesitate; they can decide instantly.

Moreover, the Clan Chief previously had them wait for Ye Zhangqing to wake, personally visit once, then decide.

Looking back, how could these two elders not grasp the Iron Peak Clan Chief's deep intention?

He had long anticipated how the two would feel after eating Ye Zhangqing's food.

"Clan Chief, you've caused us suffering."

Both elders had the same thought, and facing their change in attitude, Ye Zhangqing just smiled silently.

From the Iron Peak Clan Chief's earlier sound transmission to him, Ye Zhangqing had anticipated this scene.

What the Iron Peak Clan Chief said isn't bad; if one truly wants to settle things smoothly, this is the best way.

Of course, if someone dislikes his food, the Iron Peak Clan Chief would likely have to go ahead alone and suppress the matter by force.

But such a person probably doesn't exist—who has a cat that doesn't eat fish?

"Then, junior, I thank you two seniors."

"I………… this…………… sigh………………"

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's face-to-face thanks, the two elders didn't know how to respond for a moment, finally only able to give a bitter laugh.

After the meal, the two elders' thoughts were completely changed.

Whatever happens to future generations or the Human Race, those are my Iron Peak Tribe's friends—whoever dares to move against my friends, I'll confront them.

Having figured it all out, the two elders' attitude toward Ye Zhangqing also became visibly kinder.

The table's atmosphere also heated up considerably, with everyone chatting idly.

Only that Iron Peak Tribe member was completely bewildered, his heart full of complexity.

So, what exactly is this situation? How did it suddenly change? Weren't you supposed to kill Ye Zhangqing?

How come you're now showing concern? You even drank the wine.

After a full meal of wine and food, the two elders finally prepared to leave.

As for the request to slay the Human Race cultivators, the two could only say, whoever dares to bring this up, I'll confront them.

However, before leaving, Ye Zhangqing handed over a tableful of dishes to the two, smiling.

"Seniors, this is what the Clan Chief specially ordered me to give to you."

"Clan Chief?"

Hearing that, the two were stunned, then bitterly smiled and nodded in agreement; the Clan Chief had clearly planned everything ahead of time.

Taking the dishes, the two then turned and left.

"Ye kid, what does this mean now?"

Seeing off the two elders, that Iron Peak Tribe member finally got a chance to speak up.

He couldn't understand how this situation had progressed; it shouldn't be like this.

To this, Ye Zhangqing merely smiled and replied.

"It's all the Clan Chief's arrangement."

"The Clan Chief's arrangement?"

"Yes, the Clan Chief foresees things like a god."

"Huh???"

That Iron Peak Tribe member now feels like he's about to grow a brain; how did this become so muddled?

On the other side, bringing food to the Clan Chief's residence, this time without any report, the Iron Peak Clan Chief had already given orders, and the two entered the courtyard directly.

Upon seeing the Clan Chief, it was clear he had been waiting; seated before the empty table, he smiled at the two.

Facing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's smiling gaze, the two elders' expressions turned odd; silently they took out the food, placed it properly, then couldn't help but speak with resentment.

"Clan Chief, you've gone too far; you already knew this would happen, right?"

"Clan Chief, you're playing us like a top."

Facing the two elders' resentful words, the Iron Peak Clan Chief laughed loudly.

"Haha, isn't it because you two won't listen to advice? Rather than me telling you, it'd be better for you to try it yourselves—how about that?"

"Delicious, compared to this kid, Iron Blade is practically crippled."

"Haha, saying that about Iron Blade is somewhat hurtful."

"I'm speaking the truth."

"Sit down and eat together."

The two elders' tone now is completely different from before.

A few days ago they were shouting that they must kill those Human Race cultivators, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the Barbarian God Tribe and a shame to the Iron Peak Tribe.

Nowadays, in every way, they extol Ye Zhangqing to the utmost; as for the matter of killing Human Race cultivators, they don't mention it at all.

Even if the Iron Peak Clan Chief ordered the execution of those Human Race cultivators, the two of them would be the first to jump out and stop it.

They have completely become staunch defenders of the Human Race.

The two of them naturally understand their own change of attitude, and they have also figured it out.

So what if they've changed? It's just that they never knew Ye Zhangqing had such ability before.

If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have objected at all; they would have stood with the old man and the strong man right away.

Whoever dares to move against the Human Race, they'll be the first to jump out and oppose it; after all, if you really killed them, where would they ever get to eat such divine delicacies again?

Hearing that the Clan Chief invited them to sit down and eat together, the two were thick‑skinned enough to immediately nod and sit down with a smile.

Once they figured it out, that thought naturally became clear; once the thought was clear, the things they had been agonizing over naturally ceased to be a problem.

After all, who can be flawless? If you make a mistake, just correct it—there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Besides, at this age, who's still afraid of making mistakes? Knowing you can correct them is the greatest good—don't you know that?

Seeing the two of them, unbothered like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, the Iron Peak Clan Chief also felt pleased.

This is exactly the effect he wanted; now he doesn't even need to say anything, and the matter is settled.

As for the other Clan Elders, there's no need to worry about them at all—their leader has already been dealt with; what use could those few immortals possibly have?

They were just there to make up the numbers; now that the leader has been taken down, the whole squad naturally ceases to exist, and everyone can go about their own business.
