Lang followed them all the way back to the Gray Wolf Tribe, but the further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.
Because the big gray wolves in the gray wolf tribe looked at him very strangely.
There seems to be disappointment, blame, and even more regret.
Entering the cave hall, the elders of the Gray Wolf Tribe gathered together.
As soon as Lang entered, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
The wolf king on the seat had a complicated look in his eyes, but the wolf queen beside him could not hide her gloating, with a playful smile in her eyes.
Lang's nails were slightly exposed, and he felt on guard.
"My son greets his father, the king, and the queen."
"Get up," the Wolf King said. "The reason we called you back so urgently today is because the people of the Gray Wolf Tribe heard a rumor, and the elders urgently need confirmation to appease the people."
Lang slowly stood up, looked at him, and asked, "I wonder what kind of rumor it is that has everyone so concerned."
Lang's tone was calm, but he was actually starting to get nervous.
But he was already prepared.
He knew very well what this so-called rumor was?
It's just about him and the little rabbit.
Apart from this, he really couldn't think of anything else that could make them make such a big fuss.
Seeing that he didn't seem to care, the Wolf King moved his lips and spoke after a while. "Some people say that you repeatedly took away the tribute rabbit because you liked it and wanted to please it. Not only that, you even completed the mating ceremony with it and promised to spend your life with it. Is that true?"
Haha...it's indeed the case.
Lang looked him in the eye fearlessly, without any intention of making excuses. "Yes, it is true."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-bearded elder immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, throughout history, there has never been a precedent of a wolf and a rabbit getting married. This is inappropriate.
The ancestors of the Gray Wolf Tribe forbade intermarriage with outsiders, but the Third Prince knowingly violated the order, which was the second inappropriateness.
The most important purpose of mating between female and male gray wolves is to reproduce offspring, but the third prince ignored his responsibility of reproduction and was with a male rabbit, which is inappropriate.
In addition, the third prince lived outside for a long time and did not fulfill the responsibilities of a wolf prince. Not only did he not use his abilities to protect everyone, he also did not lead the gray wolves of the gray wolf tribe to catch more prey.
Each of these incidents demonstrates that the Third Prince is unworthy of his position. I strongly demand that his privileges be revoked and that he be expelled from the tribe, never to return!
"I second the motion!"
"I second this motion!"
“…”
Half of the elders expressed their dissatisfaction with this matter, while the other part of the elders did not dare to say a word.
They used to love the Third Prince, but now this matter was laid out before everyone, causing dissatisfaction among the entire Grey Wolf Tribe. If they spoke up for him, they would probably be kicked out as well.
The Wolf King looked at their reactions and didn't know what to do to save Lang. At the same time, he felt a sense of blame in his heart.
As a wolf prince, why couldn't he think twice before acting, instead acting so impulsively and recklessly?
After struggling for a while, the Wolf King frowned and scolded, "Lang, do you admit your guilt?!"
Lang knelt down and said, "I admit my guilt."
Upon hearing this, the Wolf King felt there was still room for maneuver and was delighted. "Since you know you're wrong, if you just hand over the rabbit and publicly announce that you'll choose another female gray wolf as your mate, I believe everyone will forgive you."
The Wolf Queen and the princes standing by were a little restless when they heard this, but Yue, who was very good at predicting things, signaled them not to be impulsive.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable! The Third Prince's actions have already sparked public outrage. Simply handing over the rabbit would be too lenient a punishment. The wolves' wrath may not be quelled."
"I hope Your Majesty will reconsider. The mating ceremony is the most important ceremony for the wolf clan. One can only mate with one wolf in their lifetime. Choosing a new female gray wolf would be disrespectful to them and would probably cause public outrage!"
"Please think twice, Your Majesty." The elders knelt down one after another. The scene was really scary.
Seeing this, the Wolf King looked at Lang who was kneeling in the middle, and did not say a word for a long time.
At this time, a fearless elder gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you have already made a wrong decision once. Do you want to make it again?"
When these words were spoken, all the elders were shocked, and even the Wolf King was stunned.
Although the elder did not point it out, everyone knew about it.
Twenty years ago, the Wolf King mated with Lang's mother by accident. The Wolf King was very panicked at first, but he knew that once a wolf woman mates with another man, she can never be with anyone else. The Wolf King felt very guilty, so he concealed his identity and secretly took care of Lang's mother every day.
But the truth cannot be hidden, she is pregnant.
During their time together, the two fell in love with each other. After Lang's mother gave birth, the Wolf King knew that he could not let the mother and son hide from each other, so he confessed everything to everyone.
If the elders had not predicted that Lang was a god who could lead them to a prosperous era, both mother and son would have died long ago.
Of course, it was also because of this that the Wolf Queen endured the humiliation of her husband's infidelity for many years, and her resentment towards the mother and son grew day by day.
Five years ago, Lang's mother died suddenly in a very strange way. The reason behind this was probably known only to the queen.
The Wolf King thought about the past, his head buzzing, and there was a moment of blankness. He subconsciously glanced at the queen beside him, and when he met her eyes filled with disappointment, his heart trembled.
He slowly closed his eyes, sighed silently in his heart, and forced himself to speak out loud, "Let's follow the elders' instructions. Revoke the Third Prince's privileges and expel him from the Gray Wolf Tribe. Never... ever let him return."
Hearing this, the elders felt relieved.
The queen and the princes also raised an imperceptible smile, looking down at Lang who was kneeling on the ground.
On the other hand, Lang laughed, prostrated himself on the ground and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Lang stood up, turned around, looked straight ahead, and walked away without hesitation.
Seeing this, the wolf king was heartbroken but helpless.
Lang seemed to have completely let himself go because of this. He ran back to his cave at a high speed, howling with joy.
As he approached the cave, he shouted, "Xi, I'm back!"
But after shouting several times, there was no response. When he walked a little further into the cave, there was no sign of the rabbit, and even the two big wolves that had stayed behind were gone.
At that moment, he seemed to understand something, his expression suddenly changed, and his face turned paler in an instant.
Oh no, I’ve fallen into a trap!
Lang originally wanted to follow the smell to find them, but found that the smell was covered by them and he couldn't smell it at all.
Thinking of what had just happened, he ran back for his life. Even though his limbs were sore, he refused to slow down, but ran faster and faster.
Xi, please be okay!
