"Gaiyin, put away your blade. I think we can have a good talk!"
Yadang curled his lips slightly, his long and narrow fox eyes stared at Lini with a somewhat ambiguous smile.
Hearing this, Lini also turned his gaze to Yadang.
Recognizing his handsome face, he paused for a moment and uttered in a deep voice, "I recognize you. You’re the cub of the Beast City’s city lord!"
Yadang nodded slightly, walked to Gaiyin’s side and patted his shoulder, signifying him to relax his guard.
Then he diverted his gaze back to Lini and said, "What a coincidence, I also recognize you. Beast Soldier squad leader at Bai Zheng’s side, Lini!"
Lini’s eyes darkened, he never lowered his defensive hand gesture, and his gaze on Yadang was full of caution.
"What do you guys really mean?"
Because of the extreme nervousness that made him focus entirely on the two of them, Lini was unable to figure out why the beastmen of Beast City would hang out with the beastmen of Tiger Valley.
Yadang curled his lips, his fox eyes were full of scheming, "Don’t be nervous, we mentioned that we can sit down and have a good talk."
Lini did not move.
Yadang let out another sigh, "So be it, let’s make things clear!"
"Lini, your Diamond Bear Clan was wiped out due to the Ten Thousands Beast Country, yet you became the beast soldier squad leader of the very same kingdom, where do you think you stand in the eyes of your deceased clan members?"
Lini’s muscles tremble faintly, a hint of resentment flickers in his eyes, but he suppresses it.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he calmly said, "How is that any of your concern? All I know is that I am now loyal to the kingdom and the national lord!"
Because he has seen too many deceptions and plots in Ten Thousands Beast Country, Lini has learnt to hide his actual self!
He was not sure whether these two were sent by the national lord to test him, so he could not afford to reveal any flaws.
Seeing his seemingly open and honest appearance, Su Tang, who was sitting on the side, was seething with anger.
She once had an idle chat with Aunt Hongguo and learnt about Gaiyin’s past. It also mentioned how the Diamond Bear Beastman merged into the Winged Tiger Tribe.
According to the story, a Diamond Bear Beastman covered in blood once collapsed in the hunting forest of the Winged Tiger Tribe. He was saved by the tribe’s old chieftain.
When the Diamond Bear Beastman woke up and found out he had escaped from the jurisdiction of the Ten Thousands Beast Country and arrived at the Wilderness, he was greatly relieved.
However, due to severe injuries and lack of medical professionals in the Wilderness, the beastman asked the old chieftain to protect the remains of the Diamond Bear cubs which he had hidden.
The old chieftain of the Winged Tiger Tribe was a kind-hearted beastman who sympathised with the Diamond Bear Beastman’s misfortune. Without hesitation, he agreed to the request. Following the beastman’s lead, they arrived at the cave where he hid the Diamond Bear cubs. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Originally, the Diamond Bear Clan had around 30 cubs, but only five or six remained.
As they prepared to return, the old chieftain found young Gaiyin lying on a log near the river. He then took them all back to the Winged Tiger Tribe to raise them.
That Diamond Bear Beastman quickly passed away due to severe injuries. Before he died, he specifically urged the old chieftain not to let the Diamond Bear cubs know about the Ten Thousands Beast Country, not to seek revenge, and that living a good life was all that mattered.
The old chieftain nodded in agreement.
...
Looking at Lini’s current age, he should have had his cubs at that time too.
Su Tang just could not understand...
