Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Conspiracy
Xiongda and Xionger glanced at each other, looking bewildered.
Xiongda was the first to speak, "You haven’t done anything wrong, so what is there for us to forgive? Also, we’re not Linlin and Zhi’er, I’m Xiongda and this is my younger brother Xionger, don’t get our names wrong again!"
Uncle Lini didn’t say anything, his head hung low, but Su Tang could see a touch of loneliness and sadness in this burly man.
Unable to resist, she stepped forward and spoke in as calm a voice as she could muster, "Uncle Lini, don’t worry too much. Now that you’ve recognized Xiongda and Xionger, there are still many days ahead. Take your time to get along. A name is just a code, don’t mind it too much."
Lini nodded absently.
Gaiyin gave Yadang a meaningful look, who immediately got the message and resumed his cold demeanor as the priest, saying, "Xiongda and Xionger, all of you, go out first, and don’t talk nonsense!"
These words seemed like their salvation, Xiongda and Xionger led their brothers and bolted out of the small cave without a word.
Lini paused, instinctively reached out his hand, looked at Xiongda and Xionger’s departing figures with a face full of nervous confusion.
The small cave emptied out again, and there was a moment of silence.
Su Tang looked at Lini, then Gaiyin, and finally said nothing. She simply held Yadang and sat quietly in a corner of the cave, serving as a silent backdrop.
" What are your plans for the future?"
Gaiyin was the first to speak, shattering the silence of the cave.
Lini was silent for a while. He didn’t directly answer Gaiyin’s question, but reluctantly said, "Linlin... Zhi’er... they’re living well..."
Yadang slightly raised an eyebrow, a calculating glance flashed across his fox eyes, and he casually commented, "If you are willing, you can stay too."
Lini bowed his head and remained silent.
After a long while, he finally spoke, voice husky and full of pain, "If I stay, who will take revenge for my dead tribesmen? Moreover, only in the Kingdom can I become stronger... I cannot let my tribesman die in vain..."
Hearing Lini’s words, Gaiyin smirked, as he bluntly pointed out the crux of the matter.
"You want revenge? How will you take it? How can you, with just your strength, take on the Kingdom? You know in your heart, that no matter how much time passes, you’ll never stand a chance against the Kingdom!"
Lini’s fists clenched at his sides, creaking under the strain. The veins on his muscular arms bulged.
He spoke with great difficulty, "But I can’t let it go! I witnessed the horrifying fate of my mate and my cub, and my tribesmen... I must kill the ruler of the Ten Thousands Beast Country, I must!"
Yadang sighed, saying, "I can understand your feelings, but you’ve lived in the Kingdom for so long, you should be aware of how many Divine Brave Warriors it has. How will you compete with them? You might as well join my Winged Tiger Tribe, strive to enhance your strength, and when you’re powerful enough, no one can stop you."
Lini shook his head, "No, you don’t understand. If I want to become stronger, I have to go to the Kingdom, because only the Kingdom has the cultivation methods that will make me stronger..."
Hearing this, Su Tang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Yadang also couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
Lini looked at Gaiyin with a puzzled face, seemingly unsure why they were laughing.
Gaiyin softened his expression, "If it’s only about the cultivation methods, you don’t have to worry at all!"
