Chapter 125 Testing
Chapter 125 Testing
Ye Xing temporarily stayed in the Tiger Tribe to recuperate, and Hu Qing was responsible for the secret support.
Hu Changya brought news that Hu Changlei was still looking for her whereabouts.
This was expected, and Ye Xing looked calm and composed.
She ordered Hu Qing to lure Hu Changlei's men and lead them to the place where Hu Mian fell off the cliff.
Hu Changya didn't quite understand. He had been trying hard to hide Ye Xing's whereabouts and didn't understand why she would take the initiative to expose it: "The Netherworld River is under the abyss, and it is impossible to find a way down." He thought Ye Xing was still thinking about finding a way down.
Ye Xing shook his head, his eyes dark and unfathomable: "Since you all believe that there is no chance of survival in the Netherworld River, then let Hu Changlei go to the scene to see for himself. Perhaps this will dissuade him. Whether he believes it or not, it will delay more time and reduce your suspicion."
"You want father to think that you and Hu Mian are...dead?"
"That's right. He won't give up unless he verifies it himself. If he keeps sending people to search, this place won't be safe for a long time."
It seemed that Hu Changya was exposed to real power struggles for the first time in his life, and most of the time he was not as smart as Hu Qing, but he was very humble and eager to learn, and would even take the initiative to seek help from Hu Qing.
"I will personally accompany Hu Qing?"
"No, Hu Qing can do it himself. You don't have to do anything now. Just wait and see."
"Then..." Hu Changya hesitated and couldn't help asking, "Can I practice the technique that Hu Qing gave me?"
Ye Xing looked at him from head to toe, then nodded and said, "Okay, those techniques are very suitable for your physique, but I remind you that you must not let others see it, otherwise once your father finds out, the consequences will not be good."
After hearing this, Hu Changya looked a little embarrassed: "...Can I take a few more people with me? They have been with me since they were young, and I promise they will never tell on me. Father will never teach them to practice martial arts. If I don't take them with me, then..."
Ye Xing raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him and smiled inexplicably: "Sure, you can teach whoever you want, and you can teach them whatever you want them to learn... Do you understand what I mean?"
Hu Changya seemed to pause for a moment before he understood, and nodded in confusion.
Hu Changya couldn't stay for too long, and quickly left the cave after receiving the instructions. After he left, Ye Xing leaned against the wall with his eyes half closed, his face flickering in the dim cave.
After a while, Ye Xing spoke to a shadow: "What do you want to say?"
As she finished her words, a figure slowly moved out from the shadows. It was the old A-mo.
"How did you know I was listening? Longfang didn't even notice me." he asked.
Ye Xing glanced over with an expression that he couldn't stand it: "I smelled the smell of the medicine soup. To be honest, I feel like vomiting."
After hearing this, the old A-mo shook her head helplessly, walked over and sat down naturally, picked up a vine and peeled off the broken thorns on it with her bare hands.
Ye Xing's eyes followed him all the time, as if waiting for an answer.
After a while, the old mother spoke: "When the Tiger Tribe was first established, it was just to ensure that everyone could have enough food."
Ye Xing listened quietly, she knew that the old man had something else to say.
“I hope everyone can always think this way.”
"Impossible!" Ye Xing denied it directly.
The old mother looked up at her, thinking she would say something profound, but Ye Xing spoke with contempt: "You haven't fed everyone yet."
"...Oh, you're right!" The old woman couldn't help but laugh bitterly, savoring the meaning of her words, as if she was thinking about the past, and then raised her head and asked: "If you do this, can you make sure everyone has enough food?"
“…I can feed anyone I want, okay?” Ye Xing looked serious.
"...Then what's the difference between your future and present?" asked the old woman.
Ye Xing's heart suddenly shook, this sentence seemed familiar.
She looked at the old face opposite her. In his cloudy eyes, there was an extremely firm and persistent belief, which made the resentment in her heart retreat uncontrollably.
In a trance, she suddenly remembered her mother when she was dying. At that time, she was staring at her like this and asked her: How is your so-called future different from the present?
How did she answer?
"Expand the territory, and all those under my command will have something to rely on."
"Ye Xing!"
The old grandmother's call pulled Ye Xing away from the past.
She thought that it must be Hu Mian's departure that made her feel depressed and lost, so she recalled her past failures and unwillingness.
Ye Xing closed his eyes to hide a trace of violence, and when he opened them again, he returned to his previous laziness: "Okay, as long as people don't offend me, I will let them eat their fill, that's fine!"
The old woman stared at Ye Xing intently, as if she was trying to determine whether her words were true or false. After a while, she sighed, "Maybe this is fate!"
"Now the test is over. Can you keep me here with peace of mind from now on?" Ye Xing said with a slightly teasing tone.
The old Ah Mo did not answer, but changed the subject directly: "The Netherworld River was once the burial place of the old patriarch."
"what?"
The old patriarch? Isn't that...
Ye Xing suddenly remembered that Hu Qing and the others had said that Hu Mian’s parents were hunted down by the orcs, and in the end Hu Mian’s mother jumped into the glacier holding her.
"The old patriarch's body has returned to the netherworld, and the patriarch's partner has sunk into the glacier. Now, they are reunited."
The last scene of Humian appeared in Ye Xing's mind again, and he was instantly filled with anger. At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the cave again.
Judging from the footsteps, it is obviously not Tiger Fangs.
She quickly collected her thoughts and held her breath.
The footsteps stopped outside the cave. The old woman continued to sit there with an expressionless face, her hands moving non-stop.
"Old man, it's me." The person outside the cave spoke.
——Tiger Changlei!
