Chapter 2938: with translation of chapter title

As the age-old mortal enemies of the Barbarian God Tribe, the Feather God Tribe should be very united internally; otherwise it would be impossible for the two tribes to have fought for so many years, with neither side able to prevail over the other.

But upon hearing the Third Elder say that now, Ye Zhangqing suddenly felt that the Feather God Tribe seemed different from what he had imagined.

Xu Jie, however, did not blindly accept such a simple reason, and followed up on the topic by asking.

Grand Elder Dugu

none

"Of course, since we want to cooperate, we naturally need to be frank with each other."

Seeing Xu Jie always wearing a smile, the Third Elder furrowed his brows and his expression turned serious.

Although it was only a few brief sentences, the Third Elder could tell that this young man before him seemed not easy to get along with, being quite shrewd.

After a moment's thought, the Third Elder quickly made a decision, and only heard him say slowly:

"If we want to explain the whole matter clearly, then it's a long story."

"It's fine, we have plenty of time."

Xu Jie was not in a hurry at all, and seeing him like that, the Third Elder let out a light sigh and began to recount past events.

"My lineage has never been particularly prosperous, especially in male descendants; although I have three daughters, only one son can inherit my mantle."

"My son back then was quite renowned in the tribe, with top-notch talent."

When mentioning his son, the Third Elder's eyes flashed with a strange look; noticing this, Ye Zhangqing and Xu Jie exchanged a glance with odd expressions.

None

But soon, the Third Elder gave an answer.

"About five hundred years ago, my son went out to carry out a tribal mission, who would have thought he never returned."

"I used all means to investigate this, and only then did I discover that it was related to the Grand Elder."

"So you're seeking revenge for your son?"

Hong Zun present took a sip of wine and casually asked, which made things make sense.

But the matter was obviously not that simple; seeing the Third Elder shake his head, he continued speaking.

"No, while investigating this matter, I inadvertently uncovered a shocking secret: my only son is not actually my bloodline, but the biological son of the Second Elder."

none

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and Zhao Zhengping subconsciously said:

Zhao Zhengping

But as soon as those words were spoken, the Third Elder's face visibly darkened, and Zhao Zhengping realized he had misspoken, quickly closing his mouth.

Third Elder

"Yes, that slut had an affair with the Second Elder and gave birth to that bastard."

"After I discovered this, I extinguished the thought of revenge, after all he wasn't my son."

"But I couldn't swallow this anger; that slut's behavior amounted to cutting off my bloodline."

none

"No, I couldn't let her die so easily."

none

"I didn't kill that slut, but since the Second Elder could steal a person, why couldn't I?"

"From then on, I intentionally approached the Second Elder's wife and concubines, and eventually his wife bore me a son."

none

By this point, everyone was already somewhat confused; 'Hey, you're not supposed to have a grudge against the Grand Elder, why does everything we've heard seem to be about you and the Second Elder?'

Even if you want revenge, you should go after the Second Elder; what does the Grand Elder have to do with it?

Perhaps sensing everyone's doubts, the Third Elder continued speaking.

"Having again obtained a qilin son, I did not acknowledge him; since I had previously helped the Second Elder raise his son for many years, why not let him help me raise my son as well?"

none

"Watching my own bloodline grow day by day under the Second Elder's care, I felt quite gratified, and this son indeed did not disgrace my bloodline; from a young age he displayed excellent talent, in no way inferior to the Second Elder's bastard."

Third Elder

"I thought with the Second Elder and me, one overt and one covert, protecting him, this child could grow up smoothly; who would have thought…………"

none

Lu Youyou was clearly getting a bit carried away; seeing the Third Elder pause, she couldn't help but press further, her heart full of suspicion.

none

"Who would have thought, this Second Elder is incorrigible, and at some point he hooked up again with the Grand Elder's wife."

none

"Moreover, the Grand Elder found out about this, grew murderous, first secretly killed his own wife, then seized an opportunity to have my son killed, passing him off as the Second Elder's bloodline."

"This old scoundrel killed my only son; how could I just let it go? Since I can't beat him, I'll look for an opportunity outside to kill his dearest grandson."

"Although this was done covertly, there's no impenetrable wall under heaven."

"Since that old scoundrel's lone grandson was killed, he's gone mad, constantly searching for the truth; and I recently received news that things are about to come to a head on me, so I can't just sit and wait for death."

Having recounted the past events of many years ago, the love-hate entanglements of the Feather God Tribe's three elders in full detail, after hearing the Third Elder's words, everyone present fell into a deep silence.

Holy shit, you Feather God Tribe are playing this wild? This is damn impressive.

Even the well-traveled and knowledgeable Ye Zhangqing, at this point, is left in awe; what kind of love-hate grudge is this?

Xu Jie also shook his head and spoke up.

"Hold on, let us sort this out first: originally you had a son, but the Grand Elder killed him, so you went mad and wanted revenge?"

「Yes。」

So when you investigated this matter thoroughly, you unintentionally discovered that this son was the product of your wife's affair with the Second Elder?

Yes.

Then you collapsed, and instead of seeking revenge on the Grand Elder, you turned to dealing with the Second Elder?

Yes.

You used some means to get involved with the Second Elder's wife and concubines, and then had his wife bear you a son?

Yes.

As it turned out, the Second Elder somehow got involved with the Grand Elder's wife, enraging the Grand Elder, who then killed your son, believing him to be the Second Elder's son?

Yes, my son resents (me).

Finally, you also flew into a rage, found a chance and killed the Grand Elder's grandson too.

Yes.

What a damn spectacular show, Xu Jie had figured it out, but the Iron Peak Clan Chief and the other Barbarian God Tribe powerhouses present all looked doubtful.

What the heck is all this? At first I could still follow, but listening on, I got confused.

One moment it's the Grand Elder, the next the Second Elder; one moment it's this son, that grandson; one moment it's your wife, my wife—what nonsense is this?

So at this moment, the Barbarian God Tribe's people are utterly confused, completely unable to figure out what's going on.

Nothing this complicated has ever happened among the Barbarian God Tribe before.
