Chapter 1009: Stop the Wild Associations

"No, why do they even need to plant grass? Doesn't it grow just about anywhere? Could the people of Huaxia be idiots?"

Shisi pouted and shook his head: "No, no, that's not it. There are no idiots in Huaxia, it's just that I don't know how to describe their version. Anyway, the grass in Huaxia feels different from the grass here."

The Tribal Chief had curiously asked the Huaxia people back then why they had to plant grass like that, but I didn't understand what the Huaxia people said. Well, none of us understood; it seemed only the Tribal Chief understood.

Then, then the Tribal Chief seemed very angry. After we returned to where we were staying, the Tribal Chief suddenly looked like he was being strangled, unable to catch his breath, and almost died."

Chengqie paused his steps and asked with some surprise: "Done by the people of Huaxia?"

"No, no, no, that's not it. It seemed like the Tribal Chief was just angered. Didn't this happen once before? He went to Huaxia, got so angry he vomited blood, and almost died then too.

This time we quickly found the Huaxia people, and they took the Tribal Chief to a place called a Hospital, and then let a person—that is, a Doctor, one of whom also came to our Suiren Clan this time—treat him.

That Doctor took a needle and poked the Tribal Chief a few times, and then the Tribal Chief was suddenly fine and had no more issues."

Chengqie looked displeased: "This is sorcery. The Huaxia sorcerer cast a curse on my father, and then used a needle to lift the curse himself. Are you all too stupid to have noticed? My father discovered it, felt he couldn't beat Huaxia, and that's why he came up with this plan to trick Huaxia by saying he wanted to join them, just so he could leave Huaxia?"

Shier and Shisi shook their heads repeatedly, while several other Soldiers turned their heads in surprise. How could this Chengqie think like this? He could actually imagine that the Tribal Chief was threatened by Huaxia into joining them. How was his brain wired? Was that even possible?

The Soldiers thought about it; it was completely impossible. Why would Huaxia do that? Besides, staying behind was the Tribal Chief's own decision, and wasn't the Tribal Chief getting happier afterward? Leader Chengqie, you really must stop overthinking.

However, the Soldiers didn't voice their thoughts, and Chengqie continued his wild associations: "No, I feel this is Huaxia's way of wanting to eliminate the Suiren Clan. Why did my father want me to go to Huaxia first, and why did he send the Leaders under me and their tribesmen? Is he trying to make me do something else?

Like leaving the Suiren Clan, but not going to Huaxia, and finding a territory of my own to survive with these tribesmen? And those men behind, they are all strong laborers, all Soldiers; were they also prepared for me?"

Why would Father do this? Does he feel the Suiren Clan can't beat Huaxia, so he's letting me leave first, letting me take these tribesmen to carry on the Suiren Clan's legacy?

Shisi, do you think that's what my father is thinking?"

The faces of Shisi and the others, which were already dark, turned even darker. They screamed in their hearts: *Leader, please don't keep thinking like this! That's not the case at all! * But the Tribal Chief had also arranged that if you want to leave, you can leave, and we can't stop you. If we told you that word-for-word, wouldn't you be completely certain of your own conjecture? If you took everyone and left, how would we report back?

The foolish Shisi, in extreme panic, made the most correct decision of his life: he intended to hide the truth that Chengqie was allowed to leave, and warned the other teammates not to talk nonsense.

To dispel Chengqie's ideas, he could only hurriedly explain: "No, no, Leader Chengqie, you must not think nonsense. The Tribal Chief sent you to Huaxia just for you to go to Huaxia to learn knowledge. We have seen the Huaxia School and gone inside to look; anyway, it's full of children and young people.

They have to learn all sorts of things. I heard that after they finish learning, when they grow up, they can do everything: build houses, make Weapons, and even smelt Iron. They become leaders directly.

The Tribal Chief wants you to go to learn at the school. The Tribal Chief said he is old and can't compare to the children of Huaxia, so Leader Chengqie, you have to go. If you learn better than the Huaxia people and understand more than them, then you will be the leader of the Huaxia people. The Tribal Chief never thought about letting you take these people to seize a territory for yourself and not go to Huaxia."

Wine, the only one whose brain hadn't caught up, spoke directly: "But the Tribal Chief said, if Chengqie... wooo wooo..."

The comrade next to him covered Wine's mouth with quick hands, not letting him continue speaking. Chengqie frowned unhappily: "What are you doing? Let him speak. What did the Tribal Chief say?"

The team hurriedly said: "Leader Chengqie, this is Wine. His brain doesn't work well; he's too stupid. He will say some incorrect things and will definitely say the wrong thing."

Wine was unconvinced and broke free: "How am I stupid? I definitely won't say it wrong. The Tribal Chief told us all together; I remember it clearly!"

Chengqie keenly sensed that these Soldiers were hiding something from him, so he pointed at Wine: "Let him speak. How do you know he will say it wrong?"

Shisi hurriedly said: "Leader Chengqie, his brain really doesn't work well. If you don't believe me, ask him when the Tribal Chief told him this."

Chengqie glanced at Shisi, who immediately wore a face full of smiles. Chengqie asked Wine unhappily: "Then you tell me, when did my father talk to you?"

Wine said very firmly: "Yesterday, it was yesterday! Yesterday morning, the Tribal Chief told them all together!"

The Soldier holding Wine also let go. Shisi had an entire "he is just that stupid" expression on his face. Chengqie was also helpless and couldn't be bothered with Wine, because they had already left the Suiren Clan yesterday and had no chance to see Baoxi at all.

Wine was still unconvinced: "It's true, it's true! Leader Chengqie, yesterday morning the Tribal Chief really told us things. He said if..."

Wine's mouth was covered again. Chengqie also said with annoyance: "Just stuff his mouth and don't let him speak."

"Hey, alright!" The Soldier covering Wine's mouth quickly checked the surroundings, found nothing to stuff in Wine's mouth, and simply pulled a handful of Grass, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Wine's mouth. He also warned in a low voice: "If you don't know what to say, don't say it. Did the Tribal Chief tell you to speak? You really have no brain at all!"

Wine was very helpless, but being surrounded and watched by several people, he had no way out. He didn't think he was stupid, because the Tribal Chief really had told them, but it seemed it really wasn't yesterday.

Chengqie inherited his father's suspicious nature and still asked Shisi: "Did my father really not say anything to you? How could he speak so randomly?"

Shisi spun his brain frantically, and the other Soldiers were also nervous inside, but Shisi decided to say something that could be said to dispel Chengqie's doubts.
