Chapter 586: Hand over the person and lock the door
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiangnuan had been worried about Jiang Lin these past few days, and now she seemed a little aggressive.
However, Jiang Lin had no objection to this, instead he felt a little sweet in his heart.
Qin Xiangnuan's ability to treat him like this made Jiang Lin more aware of his importance in Qin Xiangnuan's heart, and Jiang Lin was happy about it.
"Nuannuan, I will never act on my own again. I will report everything and every action to you in the future." Jiang Lin's self-review was very thorough.
Therefore, Qin Xiangnuan had no reason to continue to have a stern face.
"Jiang Lin, remember the promise you made today. If a similar situation happens again, I will make sure you can't find me." Qin Xiangnuan said seriously in a deep voice.
"No, Nuannuan, I definitely won't." Jiang Lin quickly assured.
Qin Xiangnuan looked into Jiang Lin's eyes intently. In an instant, it seemed that there was only each other in their eyes.
During this eye contact, Qin Xiangnuan also completely understood that she could not escape in this life. Her meeting and acquaintance with Jiang Lin was not very similar to that of ordinary people, but the final ending was ordinary.
Qin Xiangnuan wanted to have this person by her side even when she was old and gray, and she also wanted to see what Jiang Lin would look like when he became an old man.
The sound coming from afar severed the two people's gaze that was glued to each other.
Qin Xiangnuan tilted her head to look, then looked at the ropes scattered on the ground in front of her, frowned and turned to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin shook his head at her, none of this mattered.
Qin Xiangnuan no longer thought about pretending and moved her hands and feet freely.
"Untied again?" This was the first sentence the person outside said after coming in.
Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows. From what she heard, Jiang Lin should have had many opportunities to escape, but he just didn't leave.
"Never mind, no need to tie it up."
When one of them picked up the rope, he was stopped by the other.
"This is a bit inappropriate." The man holding the rope looked conflicted.
"I can't tie him up either way. If he wants to untie him, he will continue to do so."
These words made the man holding the rope throw the thing to the ground in a somewhat dejected manner.
Only then did they notice Qin Xiangnuan who had woken up. They were all shocked when they saw her.
"What are they doing here?" Qin Xiangnuan was puzzled by their words. This trip seemed unnecessary.
Jiang Lin could roughly guess that someone was going to take him away for a talk again.
Before Qin Xiangnuan could explain clearly, the other party spoke first.
"Would you please come with us?"
Jiang Lin turned his head to look at Qin Xiangnuan, nodded at her, stood up and followed the person.
Just as they were about to step out of the door, the other party turned around and discussed with Qin Xiangnuan, "Why don't you take her with you? Otherwise, if she runs away..."
The following words are self-explanatory, so in the end Qin Xiangnuan stood beside Jiang Lin.
"If you don't want to pay attention to them later, just keep quiet." Jiang Lin said to Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan nodded and signaled him to relax.
"My Lord, your mind remains unchanged?"
The clan leader actually showed up in person today, and he asked Jiang Lin the same question for who knows how many times.
Jiang Lin raised the corner of his mouth, the answer was self-evident.
"Sir, if you can be flexible in everything, you may find a brighter future ahead."
"No need." Jiang Lin said, "I don't care what happens in the future. I just want these people to apologize to my mother and uncle."
The clan leader sighed deeply, then said to Jiang Lin, "Forget it, I can leave these people to you."
Jiang Lin was not overwhelmed by the other party's sudden change of attitude, but asked them for their conditions in a cold voice.
"We can help you achieve what you want," the clan leader said slowly, "but you must swear that as long as you live in this world, you will not let anyone outside the clan know of our existence."
More and more people have come to them recently, and the patriarch does not think this is a good sign.
The people in their tribe don't have too many ambitions or ideas. Most of them are willing to stay in a corner and isolate themselves from the world.
But it seems difficult for them to do it on their own, so they need someone to protect them outside so that they can live together peacefully without being disturbed.
Qin Xiangnuan was shocked after hearing their request, but after thinking about it carefully, she found it completely understandable.
Jiang Lin did the same. He didn't keep the clan leader waiting for too long and nodded directly, but he also said to the clan leader: "I don't need your help. Similarly, you are not allowed to use your abilities to help anyone in the future."
The clan leader frowned, "Of course, those people acted on their own initiative before, and it has nothing to do with us."
Jiang Lin was not interested in the reasons behind this. In the past few days, he understood that the emperor was able to sit firmly on this position because he used his mother's death to gain the help of his clansmen. This account cannot be settled to this day.
Jiang Lin can also prevent what may happen in the future. It would be best if the tribe members could choose to be permanent hermits.
"Since you have agreed, after your companions wake up tomorrow, you can take whoever you want and leave."
The patriarch was also satisfied to see this outcome.
Jiang Lin understood that this was the result of a discussion among the entire clan. They were willing to use the lives of those few people in exchange for the safety of other clan members now, or even decades or hundreds of years from now.
In the eyes of outsiders, they may not even exist, and their days are dark.
But in the world of the tribe, they live comfortably and the disputes in the outside world have nothing to do with them.
After sending Jiang Lin and the others away, they will find a place where no outsiders can find them, close the door and live their own lives.
This time, Anliu and Anfeng had no experience at all. They came and saw nothing, so they were drugged and their eyes were closed. Not long after they opened their eyes, they were sent out again.
"Master, is everything alright now?" Anliu asked in confusion after leaving for a long time.
"Yes." Jiang Lin nodded.
Anliu shook his head and put aside the strange thoughts. Since everything was fine, why should he bother himself anymore?
An Feng glanced at the people behind him being dragged away by horses, "Master, what are you going to do with these people?"
Jiang Lin turned his head and glanced a few times, a gloomy look flashing in his eyes. "After they recognize the sins they should atone for, we will give them a closure."
An Feng didn't know what crime Jiang Lin was talking about.
But those people knew it clearly, but unfortunately they can't defend themselves now.
In order to prevent the tribe members' affairs from being exposed, the clan leader had them take poison that would make them unable to speak again when he decided to hand them over to Jiang Lin.
In this way, the number of people who know about the existence of such a place will decrease, and eventually only the tribesmen themselves and Jiang Lin and a few others will be left.
