Chapter 479
Time To Leave
Barely two days after the prayer ceremony. The Mountain Wind chief had personally come to visit. He looked like he was in a hurry.
“Where’s your chief? I need to talk to him.” Mountain Wind’s chief had the patrol team bring him to meet Zheng Luo. “If Zheng Luo isn’t here, I can meet your Elder too.”
Ever since the time at the salt mines, Mountain Wind was cautious around the young Flaming Horn Elder. They would not underestimate him. Without Shao Xuan, they would not survive.
“The Elder and chief are both in.” The patrol team sent a messenger, then when permission was given, they brought the team from Mountain Wind up the hill.
Mountain Wind and Flaming Horn had grown closer since working together at the salt mines.
The Mountain Wind chief had a solemn expression as if there was something serious. The patrol team did not waste any time hurrying up the hill.
As per tradition, after winter and the prayer ceremony, the tribe would go out for their first hunt. In the past years, important members of the tribe would meet at the top of the mountain to prepare for the hunt.
Zheng Luo was already very grateful to hear that Taihe was willing to help. They had been neighbours for so long, with scuffles and arguments. Yet in the end, the one willing to lend a hand was still their neighbour. Perhaps that was why their bossy ancestors were willing to be neighbours with Taihe.
After thanking him, Zheng Luo told him.
“I’m here to bid you farewell.” Zheng Luo looked at his old frenemy, who was a lot older than him.
“You’re leaving?” The Taihe chief almost dropped his cup.
What?
Were they that afraid of the great six? Were they going to hide somewhere more secluded?
The Flaming Horn they knew were not cowards.
“Wouldn’t that be doing the arrogant nobles a favour? If we build our own city, we can call ourselves nobles too! Why fear them? Just ignore what they say, treat it as garbage talk. At most just stay inside the forest. Here, we have the advantage!” said the Taihe chief unhappily.
“We come from another land,” said Zheng Luo.
“I know, but what has that got to do with this? Unless you don’t want to fight them?” The Taihe chief didn’t think anything of it. They had such a good neighbour, they didn’t want them to go. Who would help them carry goods during future trade excursions?
“No, we’re just going back.” Although Zheng Luo didn’t know why the shamaness was so confident, at this point, he just had to trust her.
Going back? What did that mean?
The Taihe chief still didn’t understand when Zheng Luo left.
