He walked towards Xuan, wanting to see the house with the slate.
Xia didn't arrange many people there, only four, and it was not a rotation arrangement as mentioned before.
Instead, they were four orcs who were nearly a hundred years old. They looked much younger than their actual age, but Meng Yuqing could feel that these four orcs were very strong.
They should be about to reach the standard of ordinary orcs, and give people a similar feeling to Xia.
It was also the first time that Meng Yuqing saw them, and he suddenly felt that the Qingshan tribe was truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Ten years ago, they were able to defend the tribe from the shadow beasts even though two-thirds of the orcs were away, and even survive the winter until the main force returned. This shows that they have strong strength.
These four orcs lived here directly. When they saw them coming, they all smiled kindly.
In their opinion, Meng Yuqing and Xuan were really about the same age as cubs.
Meng Yuqing didn't know their names, so she could only smile politely at them. Then she asked the system in her mind, "What do you think of this place? Do you want to change to a more upscale one?"
He was testing the system's attitude and had some guesses about the system's existence.
"It's the same everywhere on the mainland." After a pause, the system added, "South."
For some reason, the system suddenly became interested in talking. "Two of these four orcs showed signs of having taken tendon-reinforcing grass. The orc washing the hides was the former chief of the Qingshan tribe."
Meng Yuqing, who was about to pull Xuan away, paused and turned to look at them.
Meng Yuqing had no involvement in the arrangement of the tendon-reinforcing grass. To be more precise, he had never interfered with the material arrangements in the tribe. Xia's distribution had always been fair, and he had always been given preferential treatment in obtaining materials.
He was the only one in the entire tribe who received preferential treatment, not Xia himself. The previous chief was not the one who had taken the tendon-renewing grass as the system said.
They didn't care about Meng Yuqing's opinion and continued to do their own things, looking no different from ordinary people.
But Meng Yuqing knew that they were the sweeping monks of the Qingshan tribe.
"He served for a long time. The Shuilin and Shijiao tribes went through four different chiefs before he stepped down. It wasn't because he didn't want to step down," the system's voice said, a hint of sympathy in its tone. "It was because his abilities were too great. Although many capable orcs emerged after him, none of them could match him. Everyone trusted him, just like the people of the tribe trust Xia now."
. . .
"So this is why he has been the patriarch for so long?" Meng Yuqing felt it was outrageous. Because his abilities were too outstanding, his successors could not catch up, so he had never been able to step down.
"Yes. Later, three people he thought were capable appeared in the Qingshan tribe. He directly took them in to train. In the end, Xia subdued the other two and became the tribe leader. If Xia hadn't succeeded, he might have really kept doing it until Xuan grew up. If Xuan hadn't appeared, he might have really kept doing it until the day he died."
Now, even Meng Yuqing showed a sympathetic look, but he immediately retracted his gaze. The orcs were still very sensitive to gazes.
On his way home, he suddenly realized something was wrong. How could the system tell him these things? He didn't hold it in and asked the system directly.
"Host, this is the answer you can get by simply asking in the Qingshan Tribe. It won't make any difference whether I tell you or not."
"Oh, I see. Haha." He laughed awkwardly twice. The system had disappeared for such a long time after giving him the spoiler last time, which left him with a shadow.
