The dozens of tribesmen looked at the youth in front of them and felt a wave of fear. They felt as if everything around them was trembling.
Kill Serpentwing?
The youth before him wanted to kill Serpentwing?
"You didn't lie to me." Ning swept his gaze across the men of the tribe.”
"Why would we lie? Anyone in the entire Blacktooth Tribe would know about this.”This group of tribal men was filled with fear and trepidation. Regardless of whether it was the aura of the youth in front of them or the Ji token he carried, they were all afraid.
"Let's go."
Ning rode on his black beast, heading straight towards the distant Blacktooth Tribe.
Autumn Leaf and Mowu also joined the black beast and followed.
……
There were over ten tribal warriors guarding the two arrow towers beside the wooden fence of the Blacktooth Tribe.
"Outsider, stop." Immediately, a warrior shouted.
Ning's face was dark. He pulled out his medallion and barked,"Let Blacktooth see me!"
Seeing the token, the warrior was shocked and shouted,"Please wait, I'll report to the leader.”After saying that, the warrior leaped down from the tower and landed on the ground, before dashing into the tribe. In just a short moment, a middle-aged man with a scarred face and black beast skin ran out, surrounded by a few warriors. It was the leader of the Blacktooth Tribe, Blacktooth.
When he saw the three people riding the black beast outside, especially the appearance of the person in the lead, his body instantly trembled and he hurriedly shouted,"Quickly open the door! Quickly welcome the young master of the Ji clan!”
"Young master of the Ji clan?" The tribesmen of a small tribe like the Blacktooth Tribe were naturally frightened, and they hurriedly opened the heavy door.
Blacktooth was the first to kneel down."Blacktooth greets young master."
The warriors of the other tribes also knelt down.
"Go to your residence." Ning commanded, still mounted on his black beast.
"Yes." Blacktooth quickly led the way.
Ning glanced at Blacktooth, a hint of hatred in his heart! He understood that Spring Grass 'death could not be blamed on Blacktooth. He believed that Blacktooth was also very sad. But Ning couldn't help but feel hatred…he had handed Spring Grass over to her father, but he hadn't imagined that Spring Grass would die in the blink of an eye. If Spring Grass was still following him…
Ning couldn't help but clench his left hand so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.
"Young Master, this is my residence." Blacktooth arrived at the relatively large stone house in the tribe. There were two women and a young child standing at the door of the stone house. The two women and the child seemed very cautious and uneasy.
"He is?" Ning looked at the young child. This child looked very similar to Spring Grass…and Ning's heart was moved.
"It's my child." Blacktooth said respectfully. At the same time, he shouted at his woman and child," Still not retreating?”
The two women and the child retreated.
"Let's talk inside. Mowu, stand at the door and don't let anyone in.”Ning dismounted from the black beast, then led Autumn Leaf into the house. Blacktooth also followed him in with a terrified expression.
……
Inside the house.
Ning looked at Blacktooth, then sat down on a stone chair and said coldly,"Heiya, I gave Spring Grass to you because I wanted her to reunite with you, her biological father, and live a good life! But why didn't I see Spring Grass when I entered this tribe?”
"Young Master, Spring Grass isn't in the tribe right now!”
"Not in the tribe?" Ning frowned as he examined Blacktooth. Blacktooth was still lying at this point?
"Not long after Spring Grass returned to the tribe, she met a young merchant and fell in love with him. I know this young merchant, so I'm not worried about him.”Blacktooth said very skillfully," A woman should be married off, so I married my daughter to this merchant. Before Spring Grass left with the merchant…she had left a letter for Young Master.”
Ning had originally been rather angry upon hearing this. Blacktooth, you actually tricked me! But when he heard the last sentence, Ning said softly,"A letter?"
"I'll go get it now." Blacktooth hurriedly went into the room next door.
"Young Master?" Autumn Leaf looked towards Ning.
"Don't worry," Ning said softly.
Ning was quite intelligent; he wasn't a fool who only knew how to train. From the information he had…Spring Grass was undoubtedly dead! The first was that the group of people who had asked the question outside the tribe had all said the same thing, and they had all said that no matter what Ning asked, it would be the same.
That group of people had no reason to lie to him.
Also…Spring Grass had been separated from her father for so long. In the past, she had wanted to reunite with her father, and had even left Ji Ning! How could she have married and left not long after reuniting with her father?
"Young Master, this is the letter Spring Grass left for you.”Blacktooth handed over a white animal skin.
Ning took a deep breath. This was most likely Spring Grass's last words. Spring Grass had intentionally left behind these last words when she was seriously ill…Ning stretched out his slightly trembling hand to accept the white beast skin, then unfurled it to carefully examine it.
Those delicate hieroglyphic characters appeared before Ning's eyes. These characters were extremely familiar. Ning's heart trembled at first glance. These were Spring Grass's words!
" Young Master, I'm really, really happy to be back in the tribe. I saw my father, and I even have two younger brothers…I feel like I've returned to my childhood with my parents and family…"
They talked about trivial matters.
The letter was filled with the joy that filled Spring Grass 'heart. Ning could sense the joy within the words. Spring Grass truly was very happy to have returned.
"Two younger brothers?" Ning's heart stirred. Previously, he had only seen one of Blacktooth's sons, and his clansmen had said…that when Serpentwing had wreaked havoc, more than half of the Blacktooth Tribe had died, and one of them was the son of their leader.
Ning continued to watch.
"I met him."
"Every woman has a destined man. The first time I saw him, I knew he was that person. Seeing him smile makes me happy. Seeing him frown makes me worried. Seeing him practice his sword art, I also watch from the side. Just watching him is a gift from the heavens, so I have decided…to marry him!”
Ning could clearly see that there were spots here, as if they were the drops of tears that had dripped down from crying.
Ning's heart trembled.
Marry?
Was the man Spring Grass was talking about him? She knew that he was destined to be the man she saw at first glance. When she saw him smile, she was happy. When she saw him frown, she was worried. When she saw him practicing his swordsmanship, she just watched from the side...
If you want to marry me, why didn't you tell me yourself!
Ning closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.
Although Spring Grass was only a maidservant, most of the men in the area had married a bunch of women. In his previous life, Ning had never loved a woman, so in this life, he had long since become accustomed to this sort of custom. Even if he really married a few women, it was fine, but it had to be the women he loved.
Ning would agree to make Spring Grass his woman.
"Young Master!" The nearby Autumn Leaf, seeing Ning's tears, couldn't help but feel her heart clench. She had been raised as a maidservant; naturally, she wouldn't read the letter while Ning was reading it. But when she saw Ning cry…Autumn Leaf began to panic.
Ning opened his eyes.
He continued watching.
"Young Master, if you see this letter, it means that you have come to the Blacktooth Tribe to see me.”
"I'm really, really happy. Spring Grass is just a maid. For young master to be able to come to the Blacktooth Tribe to see Spring Grass, at least…Spring Grass still occupies a small place in young master's heart…Spring Grass is very, very happy.”
The letter ended here.
Ning's eyes were moist.
Are you happy?
Are you really happy?
"Hahaha." Ning began to laugh loudly, a sorrowful laugh. This was his family who had always been by his side.
"Young Master." Autumn Leaf was worried as well.
"Young Master." Blacktooth was also panicking.
Ning turned to stare at Blacktooth, his eyes like sharp swords. He growled,"Blacktooth, you still want to lie to me at a time like this? Tell me, tell me, tell me everything!!!”
Blacktooth's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and his body began to tremble.
Thud!
Blacktooth's knees slammed into the rocky ground, and his body trembled in pain. He let out an incomparably mournful wail that he had been holding back for a very, very long time."Miwa!"
