Just as Yu and Dian met, Li Qing arrived at the Black Wind Tribe on time.

Thanks to Dahei, he was able to sleep a little longer before setting off. Otherwise, if they had come on foot or even on horseback, Li Qing wouldn't have slept for almost half an hour longer than the other warriors with horses, since their travel speed was simply incomparable.

This half hour was enough for Li Qing to maintain a high level of energy.

To ensure nothing went wrong, when they were nearing the Black Wind Tribe, Li Qing jumped off Big Black and sent Big Black to the agreed-upon place while he began walking towards the Black Wind Tribe.

Big Black is very large. If the Black Wind Tribe were to see Big Black, it would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.

As it turns out, Li Qing's actions were absolutely necessary.

He had just arrived near the Black Wind Tribe when he was stopped again by a group of Black Wind Tribe warriors on patrol.

This time it was the same group of people as last time, but Kakuzu and Mao were missing. When Kakuzu saw Li Qing coming over, he came over himself.

After their last encounter, Kakuzu learned from Tu what Li Qing had told Tu. This time, he didn't make things too difficult for Li Qing. Instead, upon meeting him, he took the initiative to say, "After you left last time, in order to verify whether what you said was true or false, we specially gathered everyone in the entire tribe and talked about what you said."

Li Qing's tone remained unchanged, neither humble nor arrogant, as he asked, "So what was the result?"

Kakuzu said, "Indeed, there are a few people who make the chief feel very uncomfortable, but there is not much evidence, and there are too many people who suspect him, so the chief has not taken any action."

"Yeah."

Li Qing shrugged, indifferent.

Seeing that Li Qing wanted to walk into the tribe, Jiao Du smiled and pulled Li Qing back, "Don't be in such a hurry, hehe... Did you come here today for the Baiyu tribe?"

What do you think?

Li Qing rolled his eyes at Kakuzu.

Kakuzu's face twitched: "If not, then you can get lost. Kakuzu and Mao live nearby, but I've just kept them out of sight."

"Hehe, if it weren't for that, why would I bother visiting your tribe?"

Kakuzu was somewhat annoyed, his face twitching as he said, "Then tell me quickly, where and when will they ambush us?"

He stood in front of Li Qing, and even without elaborating, his meaning was clear: if you dare to keep me in suspense, I'll definitely teach you a lesson.

“This won’t do,” Li Qing said with a smile. “You let me in last time, but this time you’re making me stand here and talk. Is this how your Black Wind Tribe treats its guests?”

"..."

Kakuzu grabbed Li Qing's shoulders with both hands and began to exert force.

This action wasn't just directed at Li Qing; he would also use it when the others disobeyed his orders. Under the absolute suppression of power, the pain from this action could absolutely drive a person insane. At the very least, he could force them to tremble all over and beg for mercy.

To Kakuzu's disappointment, Li Qing showed no reaction whatsoever to his constantly straining hands, remaining expressionless and unfazed, as if he felt no pain whatsoever.

The more Li Qing acted this way, the angrier Kakuzu became. He unconsciously increased the force of his blows, quickly pushing them to a level that Kakuzu and the others could no longer withstand.

"There shouldn't be any problem now," Kakuzu thought to himself. "This time, Li Qing definitely won't be able to withstand it. No matter what, this kid is only a level one warrior!"

Hehe, but was I being a bit too cruel...? Wouldn't a level one warrior be driven crazy by being tortured like this?

However, I still need to be careful. What if I really hurt him and he decides to stop telling me about the White Feather Clan's plans?

Furthermore, those brats from the Red Flower tribe will later defect to his tribe, leaving Maizi with no sense of dignity. This might cause the tribe to miss out on a great opportunity, and Tu will blame himself for that.

Jiao Du had easily risen to this position, and he had his own insights into some things. Thinking of this, he unconsciously loosened his grip slightly. Just as he was about to say a few words to warn Li Qing not to be too arrogant, he found that Li Qing had turned his back and walked away from him towards the entrance of the tribe, even waving and greeting others.

"Hey, isn't this Lieyan? You're up so early?"

Am I sick?

Kakuzu shook his head—he often used this method to determine if he was sick; if he felt dizzy, he was sick; if he didn't feel anything, he wasn't sick.

Kakuzu was certainly not sick. After checking himself, he looked at his palm with disbelief: "Could it be that in just three days, Wheat has already leveled up to a level two warrior? But that's impossible. Even a level two warrior wouldn't be completely unaware of anything just now!"

When did I become so weak that I can't even handle a single grain of wheat?

Meanwhile, Lieyan was very displeased with the warrior who had abruptly disturbed her, especially since he seemed to be staring at her chest intentionally or unintentionally, which made her impression of Li Qing even worse. "Why are you here?"

"I can't come if there's nothing wrong," Li Qing said shamelessly.

Blazing Flame was speechless after being rebuked, and could only snort coldly, "I advise you not to mistake me for one of the weak women in your tribe. A fool like you, I could easily kill with one hand."

"Kakuzu, what are you standing there for!"

Lieyan shouted at Kakuzu, who was "questioning his existence".

"Hurry up and deal with him, I need to take a shower, I don't have time to play along with his nonsense!"

Kakuzu then seemed to "wake up from a dream," responded, and ran to Lieyan's side.

Lieyan was extremely annoyed. The sky was gloomy today, and she had planned to take a bath while the weather was still relatively pleasant in the morning to cheer herself up. However, Li Qing suddenly appeared on her way, ruining her good mood. She immediately vented her anger on Jiaodu: "What were you doing just now? You were patrolling around the tribe, yet you still let Maizi run up to me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Kakuzu could only apologize repeatedly.

He couldn't possibly beat this young, beautiful, and even more capable young lady than himself.

Kneel down!

"Fiery Flame!" she shouted.

"Ah, this..."

Kakuzu is used to kneeling, but with Rissin beside him...

He was a little conflicted, but when he saw Lieyan's chest heaving, he knew she was angry again, so he quickly knelt down without thinking.

Lieyan was clearly still not satisfied. With cat-like steps, she walked up to Jiaodu and suddenly kicked him in the chin, sending him flying. She stood on one leg, the other raised high, and sneered, "Next time I see you letting people in, you won't need to patrol anymore. I'll kill you myself and send you to Liangmeng River to feed the whales. Understand?"
