Chapter 701 - 700, Idea _1
Lei Er shook his head, "I don’t know about that. If he’s in the tribe, I can ask for you."
He waved his hand: "let’s go, if we keep talking, we won’t return to the tribe until tomorrow."
Although the Gru Tribe’s current territory is closer to the Watson Tribe’s, it is still quite far away.
After bidding a simple goodbye to the tribesmen, Bowman and Hei Tu followed Lei Er and a few beasts on their journey to the Watson Tribe.
...
"Old man, have you received the news yet? The Gru Tribe has already arrived in our Eneru Forest. Shaman Ji Nuan even gave them a plot of land." The large, fan-like hand of Bear Dad was holding a crisp, sweet fruit. After taking a bite, he seemed somewhat displeased.
Shi Jie casually bit into a piece of appetizing-looking roast meat, "So what if they did?"
Bear Dad was stunned at Shi Jie’s reaction: "The Gru Tribe killed so many of our beasts, how could you forget?"
Shi Jie glanced at him: "Forget what? Haven’t we gotten our revenge? Didn’t all the orcs that Bertel brought get killed?"
Bear Dad was indignant: "Still, accepting the Gru Tribe in our Eneru Forest...I can’t stand it."
Shi Jie patted his old friend’s shoulder: "Tell me, are you as smart as Shaman Ji Nuan?"
Just as Bear Dad was about to speak, Shi Jie preempted him: "No, right?"
He continued: "Are you as powerful as the Watson Tribe?"
Before Bear Dad could even say anything, he continued: "Still no, right?"
Bear Dad glared at Shi Jie: "Say what you want to say, stop answering your own questions."
Off to the side, Mo Peisi saw his uncle’s flustered reaction and burst into silent laughter. He was promptly slapped by Bear Dad, whose hearing was sharp: "You little brat, dare to laugh at your uncle."
Mo Peisi quickly stood up and distanced himself from Bear Dad, rubbing his head, "Uncle, Chief Shi Jie means that you are not as thoughtful and wise as Shaman Ji Nuan, nor is our tribe as strong as the Watson Tribe. There is no need for you to interfere in this matter. Besides, didn’t Bertel also kill Shaman Ji Nuan’s partner? Hei Tu still accepted the Gru Tribe. We should just continue following Shaman Ji Nuan’s lead. He won’t lead us astray."
Shi Jie gave Mo Peisi an approving look, and then turned to Bear Dad: "Exactly! It seems a young brat sees things more clearly than you, old man."
Bear Dad glared at Shi Jie once more: "If you want me to go out and deal with those beasts from the Gru Tribe, I dare say I alone can take on several. But thinking about such things really boggles my mind."
Off to the side, Mo Peisi looked at his uncle who had no desire to engage his brain and thought about all the tribesmen who were just like his uncle. He was overwhelmed with a strong feeling of helplessness. Like father, like son, indeed.
After a bit of talking, Shi Jie pursed his lips, looked at Bear Dad, and asked: "What do you think of the Watson Tribe?"
Bear Dad’s eyes were full of envy: "Do you even need to ask? It’s simply the best. Look at their towering, solid walls, their homes, the food they eat, the beast skins they wear, the weapons they use, everything is better than ours. There’s no comparison. It’s just a beautiful life."
Shi Jie’s eyes darted around: "Haven’t you ever thought about becoming a member of the Watson Tribe?"
