Chapter 977: Chengqie's Confusion

An unhappy expression appeared on Baoxi's face, but Chengqie remained very stubborn, attempting to persuade his father, or at the very least, asking to establish his own household; in any case, he was unwilling to join Huaxia, and Huangpin, standing to the side, was in an extremely difficult position.

He also did not want to join Huaxia; he had a sense of fear toward Huaxia, and furthermore, he did not understand the Tribal Chief's sudden decision to join Huaxia, but since the Tribal Chief had spoken, he had to listen to the Tribal Chief, so now he was completely caught in a dilemma, wanting to persuade Chengqie but not knowing what to do.

Baoxi also stood up and shouted at Chengqie: "Chengqie! What are you trying to do! Put down the Sword, do you no longer listen to the words of me, your Tribal Chief?"

Chengqie remained tough, even saying something that shocked everyone present: "You are a City Lord of Huaxia, no longer the Tribal Chief of the Suiren clan! You have abandoned all the clansmen of the Suiren clan!"

Huangpin did not expect Chengqie to say such a thing; he hurriedly stepped back twice, his eyes looking toward Baoxi, as if to say this had nothing to do with him.

And the Soldiers behind Baoxi also gradually began to take action; no matter what, they were going to firmly support their Tribal Chief, even if the person opposite them was the Tribal Chief's heir, but since the position had not yet been passed on, the Tribal Chief was still the Tribal Chief.

Baoxi was very angry and ordered those Soldiers: "Go, take his Weapon from him, and tie him up for me!"

Chengqie's voice was a bit sorrowful: "Father, do you really have to do this! Are you going to abandon the hundreds of thousands of clansmen of the Suiren clan? What could you possibly gain in a Huaxia!"

Chengqie did not resist; his support had not arrived, and the incident happened too suddenly; his Sword was taken away, and his hands were bound by ropes woven from branches torn from a willow tree nearby.

Now, Chengqie was completely desperate.

Looking at this son on whom he had placed the highest hopes, Baoxi also felt some reluctance, and the point that comforted him somewhat was that although Huangpin had not explicitly expressed support, he had not acted like Chengqie either, and his performance also showed that he was not in Chengqie's camp.

But the meaning of what Chengqie had just said was that he had already gathered a certain amount of influence; although it was not yet powerful enough, there was a certain chance he could replace him, which made Baoxi involuntarily think of his former self.

Now this was no longer a problem; he only needed to keep him under control for these few days, then find out the people he relied on and give them a good warning, and once Chengqie was sent to Huaxia and saw everything in Huaxia for himself, he would understand.

If this were in the past, Baoxi would have felt this was something he could not tolerate, but now it did not matter; their source of power lay in Huaxia, in his own strength, and in knowledge; if Chengqie did not have that ambition, his future would be nothing more than inheriting one of his Nobility titles.

It was just a matter of seeing whether he could use his ambition when he was in Huaxia and carve out a piece of Heaven for himself there as well.

"Chengqie, you are too impulsive; you have not seen enough things, and neither have I, but this time I have seen enough in Huaxia and thought clearly enough; our Suiren clan has completely fallen behind, and in the future, we will not be able to compete with Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe at all."

"The only way is to join them; Huaxia is wealthy enough, smart enough, and has offered our Suiren clan good enough treatment; our clansmen can receive the same treatment in Huaxia, and the future will be better; this is the best way to preserve the Suiren clan."

"Moreover, I have even given up the position of Tribal Chief to seek a livelihood for the clansmen; what is it that you cannot let go of? What, do you want to be this Tribal Chief right now?"

"If you can do it, then I will hand over everything of the Suiren clan to you, and I will go to Huaxia to be a Noble and enjoy life; wouldn't that be good? Do you think you can? Do you think you are capable? Do you think you can lead three hundred thousand clansmen who cannot get enough to eat to resist a tribe where even the Slaves have enough to eat and wear?"

Chengqie was left speechless, but he simply did not accept this matter; in his view, the glory of the Suiren clan was more important than anything; letting the Suiren clan join Huaxia was to betray his ancestors and bring shame upon his Suiren ancestors, and in the future, no ancestors would ever come to protect the Suiren clan again.

Baoxi looked at Chengqie and sighed: "Sigh, alright, I will keep a strict watch on you these few days; you just behave yourself these few days, don't think about anything, don't do anything, and then in a few days, I will send you, and your brothers and sisters, to Huaxia to study properly, so that you can secure a position in Huaxia in the future and not be so ordinary."

Chengqie looked at Baoxi in despair and said nothing more.

As for Huangpin, he was still panicked; Baoxi looked at him and felt that Huangpin could not be given up, so he said to Huangpin: "Huangpin, you just continue to do your work, and then these officials of Huaxia will do what they need to do; all you need to do is cooperate with them well, and then follow them to learn characters and arithmetic."

"Currently, the Suiren clan still cannot do without you; when the Suiren clan is relatively free, you will also go to Huaxia to study and see if you can pass the exams, and then you can also secure an official position in Huaxia; at least I see that you are one of the smarter people in our Suiren clan."

"However, it doesn't matter if you can't pass the exams; I will reward you with enough wealth at that time so that you can support your whole family."

Huangpin listened, feeling completely confused, not knowing at all what the Tribal Chief meant by these words, but he could only nod mechanically.

However, seeing that neither Huangpin nor Chengqie understood and were very bewildered, Baoxi had no choice but to say to his Soldiers who had already completely accepted Huaxia's education: "You go into the tribe now and explain and promote this well; if anyone does not understand, let their Leader come and ask me."

The Soldiers stood at attention and answered in the affirmative, then discussed the direction with each other and scattered to set off.

Chengqie, however, asked with a sneer at this moment: "Father, I don't understand! What exactly has Huaxia given you? You are willing to give up everything here!"

Baoxi slowly explained: "Huaxia has given me the highest Nobility title, Suiren Emperor; this was for our first-generation Suiren ancestors, it just happened to be passed down to me, and it will continue to be passed down in the future; this is status, as well as enough wealth and power; now I am a City Lord of a city, but I need to continue to study in order to obtain more power."

"You are the same, Chengqie; I have the highest hopes for you; once you arrive in Huaxia, you will understand all of this."
