for the gift Ice cola. I appreciate it.
Hearing this, Najib chuckled, "No worries, no worries. It's still early. We can wait a bit longer. After all, the young chieftainess is still just a child; it's normal for her to be a bit mischievous."
Upon Najib's words, the other pharmacists present also chimed in, speaking on behalf of Mei.
"Hmph, it's only because you all indulge her that she behaves so boldly!" said the Black Eagle chieftain.
"Grandpa Najib, I'm here." At that moment, Mei appeared in their view. Accompanying her was a somewhat unfamiliar young man.
"Good, it's good that you're here," Najib said with a gentle smile upon seeing Mei.
In his eyes, Mei was not only the chieftain's daughter but also a rare pharmacy talent among the youth of the entire Black Eagle Tribe. Najib greatly admired Mei's talent.
"You little troublemaker, don't you know you're late? Making so many people wait around?"
The Black Eagle chieftain's voice suddenly rang out. Upon hearing this, Mei finally noticed her father mingling in the crowd. Instantly, her face turned pale.
"Father!"
"Hmph, don't you know that everyone is supposed to set off for the Pharmacist Competition today? On such an important day, you can't even be punctual. You're really driving me mad."
As he spoke, the Black Eagle chieftain waved his hand as if he was going to discipline Mei. The Black Eagle chieftain's expression was angry, and his gestures were exaggerated.
In reality, he was immensely fond of his precious daughter, and those familiar with him could tell he was just teasing her. Najib quickly embraced the Black Eagle chieftain's waist.
"Chieftain, don't be impulsive," Najib said with a wry smile.
Najib knew very well that the chieftain was only pretending to be angry, waiting for someone to intervene.
Thus, he had to step in! Intervening would certainly not anger the chieftain, but not doing so could be unpredictable... Hearing this, the Black Eagle chieftain sighed inwardly, acknowledging Najib's astuteness.
He struggled a few times but couldn't break free from Najib's hold, so he sighed and said, "Ah, you all just spoil her. I'm done."
With that, he lowered his raised hand, looking exasperated yet helpless. Seeing that the Black Eagle chieftain wasn't going to act, the pharmacists all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Pfft!"
But at that moment, Ethen, who had come along with Mei, couldn't help but laugh. He wasn't sure if others noticed, but he realized that the Black Eagle chieftain clearly had no intention of hitting his daughter.
Raising his hand so high was obviously to give others time to intervene.
What's even more amusing is that given the Black Eagle chieftain's formidable strength, how could it be possible that he couldn't break free from Najib's arms after struggling for so long? Such exaggerated acting!
Ethen's laugh caught the attention of everyone present. The Black Eagle chieftain looked at the unfamiliar young man beside Mei and frowned, "Meimei, who is this? Why don't you introduce him?"
Hearing this, Mei snapped back to reality. She immediately said, "Father, his name is Ethen. He's a new friend I made, and I invited him to watch the Pharmacist Competition with us."
Hmm? A friend?
Upon hearing this, the Black Eagle chieftain had a peculiar expression on his face. His daughter rarely interacted with boys, so how did a friend suddenly appear? Could there be some hidden secret here?
The Black Eagle chieftain's heart skipped a beat. Though he didn't know the exact relationship between his daughter and Ethen, as a father, he instinctively felt uneasy about a new male presence around his daughter.
"Ahem, young man. Your attire doesn't seem local," the Black Eagle chieftain coughed lightly and probed.
"Sir, I am indeed not a local. My hometown is far from here. I accidentally wandered into your tribe's territory and encountered danger; Meimei rescued me. I haven't had the opportunity to pay my respects to you, and that's my oversight," Ethen introduced himself with a hint of apology.
His daughter saved this boy's life? Hearing Ethen's words, the Black Eagle chieftain felt even more uneasy.
A life saving debt is often the beginning of complicated entanglements, as many widely circulated stories go.
Especially since he knew nothing about this outsider. This matter must not be indulged! Otherwise, there could be trouble at home without even realizing it.
Immediately, the Black Eagle chieftain said, "Since you are not familiar with the Black Eagle Tribe, young man, why not stay with us for a few more days to experience the local customs and culture? After a few days, once you've had your fill, I'll arrange for someone to escort you home. How does that sound?"
The Black Eagle chieftain's intentions were clear. First, he did not want Ethen to accompany Meimei to the competition. Second, he hoped Ethen would leave the Black Eagle Tribe after a few days.
Upon hearing this, Ethen frowned. He hadn't expected Mei's father to have such an attitude towards him. Why was this? Had he somehow offended the Black Eagle chieftain earlier?
That couldn't be possible, as he had never met him before, so how could he have offended him? Ethen was momentarily confused.
However, Mei was not as bewildered. Although she usually had a carefree demeanor, she was still a girl and had a relatively keen intuition in such matters.
Moreover, she knew her father well and realized he misunderstood her relationship with Ethen.
She felt a bit awkward, fearing that if her father continued, it might offend Ethen, making the situation difficult to manage. After all, Ethen had an extraordinary relationship with Lord Holy Totem.
So, she quickly pulled her father aside and whispered, "Dad, do you know who Ethen is?"
Hearing this, the Black Eagle chieftain looked at his daughter with confusion and said, "Hmph, even if he were the King of Heaven, he can't approach you without my permission! Otherwise, I'll deal with him myself!"
"Dad, what are you thinking? Ethen is indeed someone I met by chance, but you should know that Granny Shaman holds him in high regard."
