Chapter 630 - 118: Returning to the Ancient Dreams (10)
In the quiet night, one could faintly hear the buzzing of insects in the distance. Hai Ge awakened from his meditation and looked at Lu Hong, who was still meditating nearby, appearing hesitant to speak.
"Do you want to say something?"
Seeing Lu Hong suddenly speak startled Hai Ge, "You... you didn’t meditate?"
"After all, this is someone else’s territory, so I have to stay vigilant, don’t I?" Lu Hong opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
"Haha, the young Clan Leader is overthinking it. If the Ming clan wanted to harm the Xiao clan, our clan would have been destroyed long ago."
"But today, that elder had the intention to kill you."
Lu Hong’s words rendered Hai Ge somewhat silent. The Ming clan was much larger than the Xiao clan and lived rather comfortably. Once people get comfortable, they tend to indulge in internal strife, which Hai Ge had grown tired of in his own tribe and thus chose to escape to the frontier.
The Xiao clan, plagued by external threats for many years, was exceptionally united, but the Ming clan was different. The elder had shown his covetousness for the Clan Leader’s position years ago, and today was an excellent opportunity for his son, Ming Ze, to expand his influence within the clan. The sudden intervention by Hai Ge disrupted their plan. How much must they hate him for that?
"Is the young Clan Leader worried about reprisal from the Ming clan’s elder?"
"Not really worried, but the Fighting Spirit skills you displayed in the arena are completely different from your usual fire talents. Those with intentions will inevitably not let go of this matter." When Hai Ge shone in the arena, Lu Hong carefully observed the expressions of the Ming clan. In addition to surprise, many showed a look of desire. They weren’t unfamiliar with Hai Ge, so it was easy to speculate that the battle technique Hai Ge used was acquired later and not innate; since it could be acquired, it could also be taught to others.
Even Ming Lou, the Clan Leader of the Ming clan, showed a hint of longing in his eyes according to Lu Hong.
