Chapter 118 Li Ziru Establishes His Authority
Seeing Tong Ying and the others leave, Fei Qi pulled Li Ziru forward, with a warm and hospitable look on his face, as if they were not the ones who had a conflict with Shu He and the others half an hour ago.
"Everyone, I'm sorry for any offense caused by some misunderstanding. Please forgive me. The mountains are cool and damp. Why don't you come and sit with our tribe?"
After saying that, Fei Qi poked Li Ziru, who had a cold face.
Although Li Ziru was reluctant, he still spoke, "I'm sorry."
Shu He didn't hear much apology in his voice, but the fact that he could lower his head showed that this young man still had some resilience.
"It's okay. I didn't know the situation here and accidentally killed your tamed beast. We are also at fault."
Shu He was very considerate and did not embarrass the other party, but Su Lanzhi was not so good-tempered.
He snorted coldly and questioned, "What's wrong with us? We're attacked by wild beasts, and we can't protect ourselves? We're raising a bunch of poisonous creatures, and we can't even manage them properly. Don't you know that if these things get out, they'll kill countless people?"
Although what Su Lanzhi said was unpleasant, it cannot be denied that what she said was true and made a lot of sense.
That group of fierce foxes was too terrifying. Even masters like Su Lanzhi and Shu He could only barely hold on with the cooperation of each other. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times!
I don't know what the Beast Tamer Clan's intentions are in raising these poisonous creatures.
Li Ziru's face turned red with anger, and he roared in dissatisfaction, "What do you know? Those fierce foxes are the greatest guarantee for our tribe's survival! They are related to the lives of all our people!"
"They are trained and will never attack people unless they are attacked or frightened!"
Su Lanzhi was dissatisfied, with a dangerous look in her eyes, "So you mean it's our fault?"
Seeing this, Fei Qi quickly stepped forward to mediate, "No, no, that's not what I meant."
He pulled Li Ziru back and explained to Shu He and the others.
These fierce foxes were indeed raised by the Beast Tamer Clan, but they raised these highly poisonous foxes to protect the safety of their clan members.
Because in this valley outside the mountain, there are four major tribes. The most powerful and largest one is the Xishan tribe that they just met, while the Beast Taming tribe is the smallest and least powerful tribe.
The other three tribes had long wanted to annex them, but it was precisely because of the fierce foxes raised in their tribe that those people did not dare to act rashly.
"Originally, the Li Fox was kept in the clan, but who knew it would escape last night..."
It can be seen that Fei Qi was really sorry for Li Hu's escape and injury.
As they were talking, Fei Qi and Li Ziru had already brought Shu He and the other two to the Beast Tamer Clan.
It is called a clan, but in fact it is just a small village.
Most of the houses in the village are very old, made of a mixture of earth and wood, and are arranged in an orderly manner on a terraced flat land.
Some people in the village had already heard from the tribesmen who had returned earlier that outsiders were coming to the tribe.
They gathered in groups of three or four at the entrance of the village. They were very curious about the "outsiders" as the tribesmen called them, but some of them were also dissatisfied with them.
After all, they also heard that outsiders killed the fierce fox and the scaly wolf beast Yas in the tribe.
What's more, several girls in the village were very angry with those outsiders. Because they had a good relationship with Randy, after listening to the "truth" that Randy explained to them, they were full of dissatisfaction.
"Why did you bring these outsiders into the tribe? They were going to kill Adi, but you didn't help Adi, and instead brought his enemies back to the village. Li Ziru, are you doing this for Adi?"
A girl was dissatisfied and rushed to Li Ziru angrily to stand up for Randy.
One can imagine the look on Li Ziru's face when he was publicly scolded and pointed at in the face at the village entrance.
However, he could guess why the girl in front of him was so angry. It must be because of what Randy said to these people after he came back.
Veins bulged on both sides of his temples, but he could only clench his fists tightly and endure it.
He couldn't let outsiders laugh at him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the girl thought he was guilty and her arrogance increased.
"Li Ziru, why aren't you talking? What exactly do you want to do by bringing these people to our tribe? Are you planning to hand over the Beast Taming Tribe to the Xishan people?"
There was another woman behind the girl who pulled her and thought she was being a little too presumptuous.
Even though they had grown up with the young clan leader, he was now the one who had taken on the responsibility of the clan and was the acting clan leader! The clan leader's dignity could not be violated at will!
Unfortunately, she didn't receive the younger sister's reminder at all, and continued to point at Li Ziru and question him condescendingly.
"Adi is right, you have changed! Without the clan leader, you are afraid, right? Do you want to surrender to the Xishan people?"
As soon as these words came out, the tribesmen who were watching the excitement changed color. "What, what's going on? Why did Xiaolan say that?"
"The leader of the Shao tribe surrendered to the Xishan tribe? That's impossible, isn't it?"
Some people started talking, and when the girl saw someone protecting Li Ziru, she became furious and yelled at them like a tantrum.
"How is it impossible? Adi told me himself!"
"These people killed our clan's Li Hu and the brave Ya Si. They are clearly our enemies! But what about our young clan leader? Not only did he not avenge Li Hu and Ya Si, he even brought the enemy back to the clan. He has no regard for the safety of the clan members. Isn't this trying to sell out the clan?"
"I think he's just scared and has lost his courage! How can such a person be worthy of being the leader of our Beast Tamer Clan?"
The girl became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her words became more and more outrageous.
"Snapped!"
A loud slap was heard, and the girl named Xiaolan staggered two steps, with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
She covered her face, looked up, and looked at Li Ziru in disbelief as he took action.
"You, how dare you hit me!"
They grew up together. He was a good-tempered and sunny person. No matter how noisy they were, he had never hit them.
But now, he actually took action for a group of outsiders!
"Hu Lan, look carefully. I am Li Ziru, the young clan leader. Do you still think of me as the naughty friend you used to play and laugh with?"
"Do you know that your words are disturbing people? Do you want to plunge everyone in the tribe into panic?"
"The brain is a good thing. I hope you can grow it!"
Li Ziru clenched his hands, his expression was cold and his aura was so powerful that it made everyone present feel a little dazed.
They had all watched Li Ziru grow up. Was this still the same boy they once knew, the mischievous but kind-hearted boy who played mischief in the mountain village?
Not any more.
The person is still the same person, but some things have changed.
Li Ziru glanced at everyone with a cold gaze, "From today on, I, Li Ziru, am the leader of the Beast Tamer Clan. I'm no longer a child that anyone can point at and scold! I hope you all will put yourselves in the right place. The next time you see me, please consider your attitude towards me!"
The expressions on the faces of the tribe members changed one after another, and it was very complicated for a moment.
The child who could be teased and joked with at will two days ago, today, he has reached a position where everyone has to treat him with respect.
Actually, this is a good thing.
Only in this way will their Beast Taming Clan have hope.
Hu Lan looked extremely embarrassed and humiliated, and her delicate face seemed to be filled with blood.
It seemed like he was talking about everyone, but actually he was targeting her!
Just because she humiliated him in public and exposed his true intentions, he became furious!
"Li Ziru, are you worthy of being the clan leader? How can you be the clan leader if you only know how to run around in the mountains and have fun all day?"
"We, the Beast Tamer Clan, don't need a coward as our clan leader!"
Hu Lan was still attacking Li Ziru, and at this moment she didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Someone come here!" Li Ziru shouted loudly with a fierce look in his eyes.
Hu Lan looked at his serious expression and began to panic. A hint of fear and doubt rose in her heart.
She thought, they had been friends since they were young, so he shouldn't do anything to her, right?
However, the next second, her luck was shattered.
Fei Qi's eyes changed, and he immediately stepped forward and replied, "Fei Qi is here."
Li Ziru glanced at him meaningfully, accepted his cooperation, and then said, "Hu Lan committed insubordination and is imprisoned in the Repentance Cave for self-reflection. You can be released when you realize your mistakes!"
Hu Lan looked at him in disbelief. "Li Ziru, how could you do this to me?! We clearly agreed that even if you became the clan leader, you wouldn't bully us! You're going back on your word! You're not trustworthy..."
Fei Qi immediately agreed and called two tribesmen to drag the struggling and screaming Hu Lan away.
Everyone looked at this scene with very complicated expressions on their faces.
There were surprises, disappointments, fears, and even some dread...
They haven't gotten over Li Ziru's identity change yet.
Of course, there were also people who felt very gratified, and Fei Qi was one of them.
When Hu Lan appeared earlier, he did not intervene in the matter. He just wanted to test Li Ziru and see if this child could really take on the responsibility of being the clan leader.
However, he was very satisfied with his performance.
At this moment, in a corner of the village, a pink figure hid in the shadows. Her eyes were filled with resentment, and her fingers scratched the wall fiercely, leaving white scratches one after another.
