Chapter 364: Chapter 365: There’s No Need to Be So Guarded Against Me
Sen Tao was still standing on guard duty as unwavering as a rock outside the valley. After a while, Meng Ze returned with the two Beastmen. However, the expressions on the three of them seemed rather odd.
Curiously, Sen Tao asked, "What happened, what’s going on?"
Meng Ze: "You may not believe this, but a Beastman who looks exactly like our tribe leader arrived in our tribe today."
Sen Tao: "???"
Meng Ze shook his head and sighed, "Never mind, I knew you wouldn’t believe me. You’ll understand when you see it for yourself."
Sen Tao: "???"
Did I say anything?
I don’t think I said anything.
The five-man team was back in action, and everyone was focusing on patrolling.
Not long after, they saw the tribal leader leave the valley hurriedly with the unfamiliar Beastman.
Scratching his head, Sen Tao questioned, "Where is the tribal leader in such a rush to go?"
Meng Ze stared at Gaiyin’s retreating figure for a moment, somewhat hesitant to confirm, "Is that our tribal leader?"
Sen Tao: "???"
Why can’t I understand what Meng Ze is saying?
If it isn’t the tribal leader, then who could it be?
He then shifted his gaze onto the other two Beastmen following Meng Ze, noticing that they were both looking rather inquisitive.
Sen Tao quickly became even more confused.
After a while, the tribal leader returned alone with an indifferent expression on his face and disappeared back into the valley without uttering a single word.
However, no sooner did he wait that the tribal leader re-emerged. But this time, there was another person with him, who looked exactly like him!
Wait, who exactly is the real tribal leader?
Sen Tao craned his neck, his eyes grew wide, looking as if he’d seen a ghost.
The two figures swiftly passed by them and quickly disappeared. Sen Tao almost thought he was seeing things.
Meng Ze patted Sen Tao on the shoulder, "See? Don’t they look exactly the same?"
Sen Tao, still wide-eyed, stuttered, "What... What in the world is going on?"
Meng Ze smiled knowingly, "Hmmm. The story begins when we started patrolling today..."
...
Gaiyin and Wen Jue ran side by side through the jungle.
Wen Jue spoke first, "Those who patrol outside your valley are weak, they didn’t even notice me coming in."
Gaiyin: "...we don’t seem to have many strong ones in our tribe..."
Wen Jue thought for a moment and agreed that made sense.
Stealing a glance at Gaiyin, he asked, "What level are you now?"
"Level 6!"
Though the response was brief, the slight upward inflection in his tone suggested a hint of pride.
Wen Jue nodded indifferently, "Oh, I’m Level 9!"
Gaiyin: "..."
Wen Jue continued calmly, "These cultivation methods seem to be owned by the Five Great Tribes only, how did you level up?"
Gaiyin barely glanced at him, as though he didn’t hear his question.
Wen Jue: "You don’t need to be so wary of me. I am your father, even though you might not want to accept it. But that’s a fact we can’t change."
Gaiyin stopped in his tracks, staring directly at Wen Jue, "What are you trying to say?"
"As I’ve said, there is no need for you to be so wary of me. I have no ill intentions toward you. I am just afraid that if you practice these unorthodox methods, it might affect your foundation. You’ve become a Level 6 Divine Brave Warrior at such a young age, proving your talent is extraordinary. As your father, I don’t want to see you go astray."
Gaiyin didn’t believe his words.
