"You caused Shan to become lame in one leg, crippled, and nearly killed him. Not letting you stand up for yourself is Qiao Yu's punishment for you. Think about it, if you were in his shoes and someone harmed you and made you lame in one leg, how would you treat him?"

Kill him!

When this thought came to his mind, Huo Qinglang himself was shocked.

It turns out that Qiao Yu showed mercy to him?

The strength displayed by Qiao Yu during this period, the rapid expansion of the tribe, and the various talents that emerged from it, brought a great shock to Huo Qinglang.

In the past, the tribes in the valley were small in number and lacked knowledge and vision, which led to the Fire Blue Wolf's overestimation of himself and his arrogance.

During this period of time, Qiao Yu conquered the Giant Stone Tribe, the Shanyin Tribe, and the God Tribe. These victories were achieved without any casualties. This made Huo Qinglang realize again and again that there was a world of difference between him and Qiao Yu. His original unwillingness to accept and his original self-righteousness were all so ridiculous.

The influx of a large number of talents into these tribes, and the achievements they made after gaining the trust of the tribes, also made the Fire Blue Wolf, who thought he was "particularly capable", become nothing in the tribe.

Huo Qinglang, who had always felt unwilling to accept his talent and underappreciated it, began to calm down and face himself.

They were so powerful. Qiao Yu, in particular, held the final say in the tribe. If she threatened to expel him from the tribe, not only would the rest of the tribe, but even his own family wouldn't dare to say anything, would they?

But she hadn't done anything to him, she had only suppressed him. This was already a lenient way of dealing with the situation, so why was he still unwilling to give in, wanting to betray the tribe and put her to death?

Huo Qinglang's heart was churning.

Seeing Qinglang lowering his head and not saying anything for a long time, Huo pulled his son out of the house.

Standing outside the courtyard, facing the lights of the countless homes below, listening to the joyful laughter and smelling the aroma of broth in the air, Huo said, "See? This is the territory we, the people of the Valley Tribe, have conquered. In just two years, we've grown from a small tribe that was looked down upon by everyone and threatened to die of hunger and cold to a large tribe of over a thousand people."

He stared at his son. "Aren't you proud to be a member of the Valley Tribe? When others come to attack us, instead of defending your tribe, you're secretly trying to sabotage it. If your son knew, wouldn't he be ashamed to have a father like you? As your father, I'm so ashamed that I can't live on in this world."

"I just want to ask you, what do you want to gain by betraying the tribe?"

These words were like a sledgehammer, hitting Fire Blue Wolf's heart hard.

Yeah, what is he doing this for?

He wanted to be the best, to be in power, but ultimately, wasn't it all for his family? To make his father proud of him, to give his wife and children a better life. But if they were ashamed of him, what was the point of all he did?

"Also, let me ask you one last question. Do you think Qiao Yu, with his intelligence, can't deal with the Sun Tribe? Don't forget that after we captured the God Tribe, we already have 1,200 people."

"Back then, our tribe only had 500 people, yet it was able to defeat the God Tribe of 800. Now we have 1,200. Why do you think the Sun Tribe, with only 1,000 people, will be the winner? If it loses, what will happen to our whole family? Have you ever thought about it?"

The Fire Blue Wolf lowered his head lower and lower, and finally uttered two words: "Father, I'm sorry."

Don't these Fire Blue Wolves know this? He does. So, even though he felt resentful, thinking, "Since you don't value me, I won't stay here anymore. I'll go to someone who doesn't have a prejudice against me." But in the end, he still hesitated.

Because he knew that even though Qiao Yu was suppressing him and had prejudices against him, he was unwilling to leave. And the Sun Tribe might not necessarily give him what he wanted.

Huo also knew that his son was not stupid, but he was just unwilling to accept it.

In fact, isn't he the same?

He sighed and said earnestly, "Qinglang, go and apologize to the mountain."

"Ah?" Fire Blue Wolf raised his head and looked at his father in confusion.

"You hurt him, you were wrong, but you never apologized to him, let alone sincerely reflected on yourself. Both Shan and Qiao Yu are magnanimous. As a leader, Qiao Yu should also be magnanimous. As long as you sincerely admit your mistake, they will not target you again."

Seeing Huo Qinglang remained silent, Huo continued, "I know you've never been convinced by Shan since you were little, and you feel you're no worse than him. But now there are only two options. One is for you to continue to be suppressed by Qiao Yu, and the other is for you to admit your mistake to Shan. In fact, you're not bowing to Shan, but to Qiao Yu. I think Qiao Yu is so powerful, you shouldn't feel bad about bowing to her, right?"

Huo said this, no longer paying attention to his son, turned into the yard, and locked the door from the inside.

Fire Blue Wolf stood there for a long time before going down the hill and returning to his house.

After he left, a woman's figure appeared in the darkness.

This woman is Gray Amlinli.

Qiao Yu discovered that she was very talented at gathering and analyzing intelligence, and also a skilled communicator. Not long after arriving, she, like Hui, had become familiar with everyone in the residential complex and was very skilled at making small talk.

Most importantly, she was very clear-headed. Although she loved to listen to gossip, she never spread rumors. Only when she knew someone was going to harm someone would she secretly help the victim.

After investigation, she promoted Lin Liming to the position of women's director of the neighborhood committee, and secretly the captain of the intelligence team.

The next day, Lin Li went to find Qiao Yu and told him what Huo Qinglang and his son had said, as well as the information she had collected.

"Okay, I get it. You've done very well," Qiao Yu said. "During this period, while the people from the God Tribe are integrating, you should pay more attention to the movements of those women and guide public opinion so that they can integrate into the Dragon Tribe family more quickly and better."

"yes."

Watching Lin Li leave, Qiao Yu looked up at the rows of names on the wall with a very relaxed expression.

She had set up this sting operation to quickly identify those who were loyal to the Dragon Tribe, or those who were unwilling to cause trouble and wanted to live a peaceful life. This way, when facing the Sun Tribe's attack, she could confidently send them out, without the risk of someone suddenly turning their guns on them and killing them at a critical moment.

But in her heart, she never wanted to see too many people betray the Dragon Tribe.

This was the home she had built bit by bit, under her leadership, and it was also a Garden of Eden she had created for these primitive people. On the basis of adequate food and clothing, she tried her best to provide them with an equal, democratic, and peaceful environment.
