Chapter 16: The Patriarch

A faint word, as if it had irresistible power, of course, Xiao Yuan did not mean to refuse, and sat quietly at the small table.

After the man glanced at Xiao Yuan, a trace of surprise flashed in his quaint eyes.

"My name is Pan Jiu, I am the patriarch of the Southern Barbarian Clan, young man, where are you from?" Pan Jiu introduced himself, and then asked Xiao Yuan, it didn't look like a question, it was more like a joke!

"The boy's name is Xiao Yuan, a person from Lang Evil County in Fengyan Country, and he has seen the patriarch here!" Xiao Yuan saluted the man with his fists and said softly.

Pan Jiu's playful expression was frozen because of Xiao Yuan's words, and was replaced by a touch of surprise

"Oh, and how did you get here?" Pan Jiu asked again, then gently pushed the smoke and snow away, pinching his fingers and calculating.

At that moment, Xiao Yuan told what happened to him again, of course, omitting the two important things of Guiyuan Divine Technique and Taishang Kendo.

When Xiao Yuan finished talking about the matter, Pan Jiu also finished his calculations, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, he shook his head at the moment, and only said two words: "Injustice!"

"Is there something wrong?" Seeing Pan Jiu say those two words, Xiao Yuan frowned, and couldn't help asking.

However, Pan Jiu didn't answer, and the whole wooden house suddenly became quiet, and after a long while, Pan Jiu slowly spoke: "Young man, remember my words, the edge is too exposed, and the sky is jealous!"

"Don't go anywhere for the next period of time, just stay in our tribe, and plan slowly if you have any plans in the future!" As if seeing through Xiao Yuan's thoughts, Pan Jiu's tone became unrefusable.

However, Xiao Yuan did not have the slightest anger, but accepted it sincerely, because he felt from the bottom of his heart that the man in front of him was thinking about himself.

And now he really has nowhere to go, it would be great to be able to find a place to calm down and cultivate!

"Since that's the case, then thank you Patriarch!" Xiao Yuan thanked him.

"Yanxue, it's up to you to arrange his daily life!" Pan Jiu waved his hand at Xiao Yuan casually, signaling that there was no need to be formal, and instead told Yanxue Dao.

"Okay, uncle, then I'll go first!" Yan Xue was coquettish to Pan Jiu again, and then pulled Xiao Yuan up and walked outside

Along the way, I passed through a number of tents, still attracting a lot of strange eyes, until I reached a smaller tent, and the smoke and snow stopped

Walking into the tent, there was only a simple bed, some simple things necessary for life, and nothing else.

"You live here?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled, Yan Xue was the niece of the patriarch, it stands to reason that she should have a noble status and a transcendent status, although the place where she lives is not like the palace brocade jade duan, but at least it shouldn't be so shabby!

"That's right!" As if seeing Xiao Yuan's doubts, Yan Xue explained: "Actually, I picked it up by the patriarch!"

Speaking of this, Yan Xue's expression became gloomy, she was picked up from outside by Pan Jiu twenty years ago, because she was frail and sick since she was a child, if it wasn't for Pan Jiu who spent a lot of energy before, she would probably have died long ago.

Later, five years ago, because the smoke and snow brought a great disaster to the tribe, the tribe began to ostracize her, and Pan Jiu's injuries were caused by that disaster

That's why Yanxue often goes out to find medicine, in order to make up for the guilt of Pan Jiu in her heart, even if she knows that those ordinary herbs have no effect on Pan Jiu's injury

As for the disaster, it was because Yanxue was a person of another race, the Ancient Saddle Clan, this race was rich in archers, and they were spirit archers, and there were prophets in their race, and they had a premonition that Yanxue would bring great disasters to their race, so they had to kill Yanxue, who was only three months old, but their race was also a humane race, and they couldn't do it, so they could only throw Yanxue in the wilderness.

It happened to be picked up by Pan Jiu who was passing by, but fifteen years have passed, Yanxue has grown up, and she has added a lot of vitality to this tribe.

But when the whole tribe was singing and laughing for Yanxue, the people of the Saddle Clan knew the news that Yanxue was not dead, and brought the clansmen to ask for Yanxue, and wanted to kill Yanxue, and kill this person who would bring disaster to their people!

In order to save Yanxue, Pan Jiu tore his face with the people of the Saddle Clan, and repelled the people of the Saddle Clan, but he also suffered a lot of injuries, and the entire tribe also suffered heavy losses!

Until now, Pan Jiu's injuries have not completely healed, so the clansmen who used to be extremely friendly in Yanxue's eyes have discriminated against her, and have begun to stay away from her, isolate her, and even if it weren't for the face of the patriarch, Yanxue would have been driven out of the tribe long ago.

The tribesmen also chose to believe the prophecy of the Saddle tribe that this woman would bring disaster to the tribesmen.

"It's all my fault! it's all my fault!" said Yanxue, who couldn't even stop crying, tears wetting the ground, making her back look so desolate.

This made Xiao Yuan not know what to do for a while, what he was most afraid of was that the woman cried, and he didn't know how to comfort him

However, Xiao Yuan also knew what he should do, so he stepped forward and hugged the other party's shoulders hard: "Yanxue, it's not your fault!"

"Don't be sad, this should be your life, you should enjoy the mysteries, the heavens will descend on the people, you must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies!" Xiao Yuan comforted.

Maybe she was tired of crying, or maybe she felt that Xiao Yuan's words made sense, Yanxue just leaned her head on Xiao Yuan's shoulder and fell asleep slowly.

Even Xiao Yuan on the side was infected by the sleepiness of Yanxue and fell asleep.

The two fell asleep together in this way, and after some time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, waking the two up.

Both of them are young and have never experienced this kind of thing, although nothing happened to them just sleeping with them in their arms, but they still made their faces red.

"It's them back!Let's go, let's take a look!" Yanxue said with a little joy, breaking the more embarrassing situation between the two.

Yanxue took Xiao Yuan's hand and ran quickly towards the outside of the tent

At this time, the gate of the tribe was already full of people, old and young, as if they were greeting something, but these old and young were all tall and strong, and Yan Xue and Xiao Yuan were like children's bodies in them, very inconspicuous.

In a short time, dozens of more muscular men stepped out of the jungle in the distance, each like a huge rhinoceros, carrying different prey on their backs

And the clansmen who had gathered here and waited for a long time all greeted them one after another, each greeting their own warriors, the joy on the face, the more sturdy the man's family was.

Seeing such a scene, Yanxue's expression became gloomy again, originally these people were her family, they were her favorite people, these people were simple and innocent, there was no intrigue, no conspiracy

However, now she has been isolated by them and can no longer integrate into this big family.

However, at this time, Xiao Yuan grabbed his hand and made her wake up from the gloom!

"Don't worry, you won't be alone anymore from now on!" Xiao Yuan said lightly, the voice seemed to be heard only by her.

I saw that Yanxue's eyes were suddenly full of gratitude, and there was even a trace of indescribable emotion, which planted seeds in her heart.
