Chapter 627: Chapter 630 Wait!
She couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment, giving Chiyan an apologetic smile. "Sorry for bothering you, it’s just that I heard the true form of the Sky Fox Clan is the Red Fox. My big brother’s true form is also a Red Fox, so I wanted to ask if your tribe has ever lost a cub before."
Su Tang’s words caused a change in Chiyan’s expression.
Lost a cub?
Of course, they had lost one!
Wasn’t Uncle Suo Long’s cub once stolen by the Beastmen of the Western Ming Deer Clan? Aunt Jin Se was nearly blinded by her tears.
It was because of this matter that they, the Sky Fox Clan, and the Western Ming Deer Clan harbored deep-seated enmity that could never be resolved.
It was also due to this matter that Uncle Suo Long stepped down from his position as the clan leader, leaving all matters of the tribe to his big brother.
Reminded by this, Chiyan suddenly remembered why Yadang seemed familiar to him.
Yadang looked somewhat like his grandfather.
...
When Chiyan and his brother were young, their father died tragically in a hunting accident, and their mother, heartbroken, soon fell ill, quickly leaving them behind to reunite with their father.
Uncle Suo Long, being their father’s younger brother, raised them after this tragic incident. Although they were too young to understand grief at the time, it was Uncle Suo Long who nurtured them as they grew up.
Their grandfather, Uncle Suo Long’s father, always believed that they were the cause of their father’s death, so he never liked them.
Chiyan knew his grandfather didn’t like him, so he seldom went to his grandfather’s cave. Even if they occasionally made contact, he would act as if he didn’t see him.
So when he first saw Yadang, he found him somewhat familiar. Now that he took a closer look, didn’t he somewhat resemble his grandfather?!
As for the matter of his uncle losing a cub, he wasn’t too sure because he was too young to remember anything, but he heard from his big brother that the cub was stolen by the Beastmen of the Western Ming Deer Clan, and its whereabouts remained unknown.
Chiyan had also asked his brother why the Beastmen of the Western Ming Deer Clan would steal Uncle Suo Long’s cub.
Every time he asked this question, his big brother would remain silent, always telling him that Uncle Suo Long did a lot for them. They should treat Uncle Suo Long and Aunt Jin Se with the same respect as their parents.
...
Just now, the little female said that the Beastman’s true form was also a Red Fox. Then could it be that the Beastman standing before them was the cub that Uncle Suo Long lost?
Once he thought of this possibility, Chiyan’s smile became a bit brighter.
Uncle Suo Long and Aunt Jin Se had been in a bad state for a long time. If this Beastman was truly their cub, then...
Whenever Chiyan thought of this possibility, he couldn’t help but feel delighted.
But he also knew clearly that unless he was one hundred percent certain, he couldn’t let his uncle and aunt know about this. If it ended up being a false alarm, Aunt Jin Se’s health might not be able to handle it.
After much deliberation, Chiyan decided to bring them to meet his big brother first. His big brother was much older than him; he still remembered some things from when he was little. Letting him confirm the Beastman’s identity was undoubtedly the best decision.
Therefore--
Chiyan’s gaze shifted to the group that was about to leave the cave, and he called out to them, "Wait! Don’t go yet!"
Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned around.
Chiyan looked at them excitedly. "Could you wait a bit longer? I’ll go get my big brother. He’s much older than me, maybe he knows something."
Yadang was getting impatient and wanted to refuse, but Su Tang held him back. She looked up, smiling brightly, and responded, "Sure!"
