Chapter 2769: We Can Help Speak Up

The Charcoal Snake Tribe people, since the Iron Peak Clan Chief himself had spoken, had to give face no matter what, so they still came this time.

However, after returning, they still harbored much resentment, and showed hardly any sincerity in their talk.

From start to finish, the Charcoal Snake Tribe people only wanted to show up, give the Iron Peak Tribe face, and then directly refuse.

Although I don't know what's wrong with the Iron Peak Tribe, they actually became friends with the Human Race.

But no matter what these guys are up to, they're impossible; once they go back, they'll kill those Human Race cultivators.

If the Iron Peak Tribe wants to be friends with the Human Race, that's your problem; the Human Race people in my Charcoal Snake Tribe—you have no reason to interfere, and I've already given you face.

That evening, the eight people from the Charcoal Snake Tribe arrived at the Iron Peak Tribe.

However, upon entering the Iron Peak Tribe, the eight all had strange expressions, not for any other reason but because of the surrounding Black Mist Forest.

They also knew about the Black Mist Forest, but why would it appear here?

Moreover, the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, under the guidance of a few Iron Peak Tribe members, actually knew to yield the way on their own?

Could the Iron Peak Tribe have silently subdued the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts?

For a moment, all eight of the Charcoal Snake Tribe people had this speculation, after all, it was the only explanation.

Otherwise, why would the Black Mist Forest, perfectly fine, come here to guard the Iron Peak Tribe?

What a fine method.

They secretly sighed, having the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, the Iron Peak Tribe's overall strength increased a bit, which for the Charcoal Snake Tribe is hardly good news.

Originally the two tribes were evenly matched, but adding these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts introduces a variable.

Although it won't directly break the balance completely, it is absolutely a force not to be ignored.

In their hearts, their wariness of the Iron Peak Tribe increased a bit.

As for whether the Black Mist Forest has any relation to the Human Race, they hadn't even thought of it.

Joke, the Human Race deserves that?

Passing through the Black Mist Forest and entering the Iron Peak Tribe, the eight completely ignored the Human Race's meaning, and first went to visit the Iron Peak Clan Chief.

After all, the Human Race were the ones who summoned them, so the Iron Peak Clan Chief still came out to meet them.

However, during the meal, the Iron Peak Clan Chief was already speaking highly of the Human Race.

"This time I invited you all mainly to talk with the Human Race, after all there's no grudge…………………"

However, facing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's words, the Charcoal Snake Tribe's leading elder simply changed the subject, each time the topic came up he quickly shifted away, not engaging at all.

Seeing this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief naturally understood the other's meaning, feeling helpless, there was simply no sincerity at all.

But he couldn't force the Charcoal Snake Tribe; they had already come, giving ample face, pressing further would be overstepping.

Meanwhile, the Iron Peak Clan Chief was conversing with those few from the Charcoal Snake Tribe.

On another side, inside the Fire Room, the Iron Peak Tribe's elders gathered around Ye Zhangqing.

The Charcoal Snake Tribe people have arrived, so tonight there will definitely be a banquet to entertain them.

No matter their attitude, Ye Zhangqing himself must do well; if the start is hard and the start fails, then there's no need to talk about what comes after.

As for those elders around, their purpose here is simple: they want to join the evening banquet together.

Leading them was the elder who had previously gone to the Fire Spirit Tribe, grinning as he spoke.

"Ye Xiaoyou, tonight you should prepare another table; we'll keep you company and can also say a few good words for you."

"Yes, these Charcoal Snake Tribe people are each like stones in a latrine—smelly and hard, extremely stubborn; with us around it'll be easier."

"The key is, if there's any problem, we can also protect you in time."

These elders usually aren't lacking in food, but it's just everyday home cooking—how could it compare to today's proper banquet?

Tonight there are big dishes, hearty dishes; they normally can't eat such things, because Ye Zhangqing never bothers—it's too much trouble.

Now that they finally have this opportunity, the Iron Peak Tribe's elders naturally aren't willing to let it pass.

Just looking at the ingredients Ye Zhangqing is preparing now, the elders know tonight will definitely be a grand affair.

With such a scene, how could they be missing?

So, upon hearing that the Charcoal Snake Tribe people had arrived and had already gone to request an audience with the clan chief, the elders all came here together.

Their sole purpose was to have Ye Zhangqing set up another table so they could also share in the glory.

Faced with the Iron Peak Tribe's elders' earnest pleas, they gave various justified reasons, leaving no chance to refuse.

Ye Zhangqing, while handling the ingredients in his hand, smiled and said.

"Then tonight I'll trouble you seniors to speak a few kind words."

Upon hearing this, the elders present all beamed, unable to stop smiling, the matter was settled.

Then they naturally nodded repeatedly, each patting their chest in guarantee, taking responsibility themselves.

Although we can't outright offend the Charcoal Snake Tribe, helping the Human Race say a few kind words, applying a little pressure from the side, is still no problem.

"Eat someone's food and your mouth softens; take someone's hand and your grip weakens. Since we've eaten, we certainly can't take it for nothing—they understand this rule."

Having these elders around is indeed beneficial for Ye Zhangqing, and making an extra table of food is no big deal.

Time is still early; Ye Zhangqing needs to prepare a lot of ingredients.

After all, this concerns the lives of over a hundred Human Race cultivators; Ye Zhangqing naturally won't be stingy, taking out all the fine ingredients he'd stored in his Space Ring.

Besides anything else, the scene certainly can't be shabby; otherwise it would show a lack of sincerity, and there'd be nothing more to discuss.

As for the Charcoal Snake Tribe people coming and first going to see the Iron Peak Clan Chief, Ye Zhangqing doesn't care at all.

Never mind anything else; as long as we can save people, that's enough.

He didn't let anyone else help; this time Ye Zhangqing exerted his true abilities, not even noticing fatigue.

The two banquet tables, from start to finish, were completed solely by Ye Zhangqing.

Only thus can the flavor be guaranteed truly perfect, without any flaws.

For tonight's banquet, over the next two days, the Iron Peak Tribe, the Human Race, and the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts have all suspended their three daily meals.

I'm stretched thin!

As for this, everyone can understand; the human race, needless to say, Ye Zhangqing is doing this to save people—they support him, they haven't even had time to yet; just bear a little greed and it'll pass.

As for the Iron Peak Tribe people, they also know the priorities; anyway, it won't take long, at most a few days.

Having been busy in the Fire Room until evening, around dusk, the Iron Peak Clan Chief finally brought a few people from the Charcoal Snake Tribe, arriving late.
