Chapter 1018: Not Listening to Him

On the side of the Suiren clan, most people heard the shouts that Huaxia was about to eat; separated by only a narrow river, who could fail to hear it? At the very least, it dealt another blow to the Suiren clan's morale.

Originally, everyone did not really want to clash with Huaxia, but Chengqie was the leader of them all; whatever he wanted to do, none of them had any way to stop him. As for those brothers and sisters of Chengqie, they actually had no say at all; because of their lack of ability, they were not even able to lead a tribe of their own yet.

Most of them were even younger than Chengqie, and aside from knowing their father was the Tribal Chief, that they did not need to worry about food, and that no one dared to bully them, they had no other advantages.

Now that Chengqie had caused such a huge mess for the sake of his own face, nearly bringing both sides to war again, no one knew what to do.

However, according to the Huaxia people on the other side, they were already Huaxia people now; if they dared to raise a hand against their own, wouldn't that be rebellion? Both sides would begin to attack and suppress them, and they would surely die.

The few leaders who had thought it through clearly had one main idea at the moment: to persuade Baoxi to put aside his prejudices and hurry over to listen to the Huaxia people. If Chengqie insisted on attacking Huaxia, they believed they must not listen to Chengqie; when faced with matters of great right and wrong, they thought very clearly.

The two leaders who had originally sworn to follow Chengqie to the death were also a bit afraid now; the Huaxia Bomb was a huge, irresistible threat to everyone, and there was no one who would not fear it. Following Chengqie in this situation, what benefits could they possibly get?

The two of them pulled on Chengqie, soothing his somewhat nervous mood: "Leader Chengqie, let's not push too hard. Huaxia clearly isn't afraid of us at all. Anyway, I think that no matter what, we cannot go to war with Huaxia; we cannot win."

Chengqie's face was already flushed red as he glared at the tall and short leaders: "How can we not win! We have over thirty thousand people, can we not beat that small number of theirs? Our Suiren clan is so big, are we afraid of one Huaxia? Why are you all so cowardly? You don't look like Soldiers, not Soldiers of the Suiren clan!"

The two leaders were slowly getting a bit angry: "Chengqie, when we fought Huaxia that year, you were still very young and didn't see it. We couldn't even touch the Huaxia Soldiers, and then the Soldiers all died. Thousands of people went over, and it was completely useless; they would die off immediately."

Look at us here, over thirty thousand people—how many of them actually have Weapons, or are even capable of holding Weapons? You saw that thunder the Huaxia just threw; such thick wood was blasted into pieces with a single 'boom'. Could people possibly be harder than that wood?

With so many of us, how much of Huaxia's thunder can we withstand? Besides, we don't even know how much thunder Huaxia has. Look at that Company Commander of theirs; he isn't afraid at all. I feel like he completely believes he can beat us."

"And do you think that, with things as they are now, the Tribal Chief will still help us? The Tribal Chief has already joined Huaxia and even became some kind of City Lord of Huaxia. Between the entire Suiren clan and us, he will definitely choose the Suiren clan!"

"We can't win, and we can't go back, so just lead us across the river!"

Chengqie was still in a fit of rage and couldn't listen to a word, directly shaking them off: "How could it be impossible to go back! If I can't beat them, does that mean I can't return to the Suiren clan? The Suiren Tribal Chief is my father; I am going to inherit the Suiren clan in the future, how could I not be able to go back? Impossible, impossible!"

The tall and short leaders, seeing that it was impossible to persuade him, could only sigh and give up. It just so happened they saw other leaders discussing things with Shisi and the others, so the two of them had to thicken their skin and approach.

At this time, those leaders were discussing: "We definitely cannot go back, and we cannot attack Huaxia either. You all know about that thunder; how many people would die in one blast? If Chengqie wants to attack, then we just won't listen to him. If he has no Soldiers, he can't fight, right? Brother Shisi, what do you say? You know Huaxia better than we do; tell us, can we win?"

Shisi saw that these people were relatively perceptive, so he said: "These brothers of ours also received training in Huaxia, and our Weapons were all given by Huaxia. Think about it, there are so many of us, and Huaxia just gave each of us a Knife—an Iron Knife at that. Just how many Iron Knives must Huaxia have?"

"And besides, we want to go to Huaxia more than anyone. If the Tribal Chief didn't still need to keep us, we would really be willing to give these Knives to the Tribal Chief and go live in Huaxia with you all. Huaxia is truly too good; once you go, you won't want to leave."

One leader still didn't quite believe it: "Is Huaxia really that good? The way you are now, you could definitely be a Leader in our clan, and perhaps even stronger than us. Are you really willing to stop being a Leader and just go to Huaxia to be an ordinary person?"

"Of course. What is so good about being a Leader of the Suiren clan? Everything in Huaxia is something that is impossible to have or even see in the Suiren clan. We feel like that place is like the place where the gods of Heaven live."

Shisi's other brothers all nodded in agreement; they could give up being Leaders in the Suiren clan for the status of an ordinary person in Huaxia.

To the ears of the other leaders, these words were a roundabout way of saying that Huaxia was very powerful and they could not win.

"Then we won't fight. Let Chengqie do whatever he wants; we just won't listen to him. The main thing is, the main thing is, will the Tribal Chief punish us for this?"

Shisi looked back and saw the tall and short leaders pulling on Chengqie to talk, so he leaned in and whispered: "To tell you the truth, when the Tribal Chief sent us, he told us that if Leader Chengqie didn't want to go to Huaxia and wanted to run, taking you all with him, then don't stop him; just let him run. The Suiren clan can exist without Chengqie, but it must join Huaxia."

"Along the way, we were all afraid you would follow him and run, so we didn't dare say anything. Now that things are like this, you can only go to Huaxia. Following Chengqie will definitely not lead to a good life; in the end, you will surely become a wandering tribe."

"You also heard that Huaxia is about to eat. In Huaxia, you won't go hungry. You can eat three meals a day, and you eat as soon as the time comes. They are eating lunch now; I'm hungry already. In the Suiren clan, is that possible for you? Right now, we have nothing to eat."

"So, let me tell you, the Tribal Chief can abandon Chengqie. Those other children of the Tribal Chief might be the ones the Tribal Chief values more. Do you understand now?"
