Chapter 469: Chapter 470: Old Affairs 7
Nanding hesitated for a moment, then stuttered without answering.
Finally, Xiding craned his neck and said, "You guys have nothing to do with this, it’s a matter of our tribe. Let us go, it’s a misunderstanding. Let us go already!"
In the end, Lord Wen untied the ropes around the two people, as they had said, it was all a misunderstanding.
However, after gaining their freedom, Nanding and Xiding did not leave immediately.
Nanding glanced at the trio, his gaze lingered on Lord Wen with greater intensity. "Who are you folks? Why are you in Xiluo Forest? Have you encountered Kasuo?"
Lord Wen grew uncomfortable under his gaze and slightly furrowed his brows, "Who we are is none of your business. We’re simply gaining experience here, and we don’t have a clue who the Kasuo you mentioned is." 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Xiding then began to make a fuss, "Xiluo Forest is our Sky Swallowing Python Clan’s territory! Who permitted you to come here for training! Hurry up and leave, or don’t blame us for being rude!"
Upon hearing his brother speaking in this manner, Nanding felt a shiver in his heart. Noticing the grim expressions on the faces of their three counterparts, he quickly interjected, "What nonsense are you talking about, brother!"
Having admonished his brother, he turned back to Lord Wen with a slight smile, "Please forgive my brother’s rudeness. He’s just looking out for your safety. The Xiluo Forest is filled with dangerous wild beasts, he’s merely..."
Hai Qin impatiently waved his hand, "Alright, alright, you guys better get going, we don’t need you to worry about us."
Nanding chuckled and nodded in agreement, then proceeded to drag the still indignant Xiding away.
Watching the two figures receding into the distance, Aqi stroked her chin, "The Sky Swallowing Python Clan seems rather domineering. And who knew Kasuo was a betrayer? Why would he suddenly betray his tribe and go off to become a wandering Beastman?"
As the name suggests, a betrayer is a Beastman who has betrayed his tribe and as a result, been exiled. They usually commit some unforgivable act.
Beastmen consider loyalty to be extremely important; a Beastman who betrays his tribe is typically ostracized and scorned by all others.
And in this harsh environment, without the protection of their tribe, most Beastmen can’t survive for long.
Neither Lord Wen, Hai Qin, nor Aqi had encountered a betrayer before, although they’d always known that the struggle for power can be brutal.
So, when a betrayer showed up for the first time, Aqi became increasingly curious and excited about the situation.
Hai Qin flicked Aqi’s forehead, "What’s that got to do with you? Just eat your meat. If the betrayer captures you, I won’t come to rescue you!"
Aqi couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth, "Aqin, I am your elder sister, not a cub. Do you think you can scare me?"
Hai Qin simply smiled at Aqi and remained silent.
Fuming, Aqi retorted, "What is that look in your eye? Are you looking down on me? Are you asking for a fight?"
With that, Aqi lunged at Hai Qin, ready to brawl.
Lord Wen, sitting at the side, calmly ate his roast meat.
This kind of scene was enacted almost daily, and he had grown accustomed to it.
