Chapter 354 354 Changing Decision (1)
In the end, the conversation ended with Si Ye's unilateral decision.
He was the leader of the tribe, so naturally someone would take care of the follow-up matters. He planned to take Xia Tian back first. "The scene will be bloody. I'll take you back first. Don't get involved in any of this."
Xia Tian didn't say anything. She followed his footsteps to a secluded place. When she found an opportunity, she finally spoke out her thoughts, "Si Ye, even those children in the tribe..."
She hadn't finished her words, but Si Ye already understood what she wanted to say.
She wanted to ask whether even the children in the tribe had to accept the tribe’s “decision”.
Or rather, it conveys a thought, which is - "Can you let those children go?"
Si Ye didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked her, "How do you think they should handle this?"
"I...I dare not say." Xia Tian told the truth.
She can have a say in life, but when it comes to power struggles between tribes, she subconsciously doesn't want to get involved.
It’s not so much because he is afraid of Si Ye, but more because he is wary of the rules that exist in this world itself.
She was not yet so sure that Si Ye would choose her in the end between her and the tribe.
"It's okay. I told you, you're here with me. Whatever you want to say or do, I'll support you." Si Ye found a nearby tree trunk to lean against. He looked a little tired, folding his arms as he looked at her. "It's just the two of us here. Whatever you want to say, only I know. If you don't want others to know, I can forget it right away."
He said that he would protect her for the rest of her life. This was not just a spur-of-the-moment idea, but a promise he would always keep.
She had a higher authority than he did in his place, so even if she said she wanted him to die in front of her now, he would not hesitate to pierce her heart with his claws.
"I'm not questioning you." Xia Tian's attitude was still very cautious. "What I want to say is that those children were originally homeless and had little connection with the tribe. They would not participate in these things. Most importantly, they are still so young. Their lives have not even begun, but they are about to be forced to end..."
She admitted that if she had not traveled through time and occupied the original owner's body, she would never have bothered to get involved with the people of the Jintong tribe.
But the reality is an established fact and no one can change it. Although these children are not so likable, their crimes do not deserve the death penalty.
"I see. So you agree with the sentence against the other tribe members." Si Ye replied calmly and continued to ask her, "Then what do you think we should do with these children? It's impossible for them to stay with us. I won't accept people from our enemy tribe to join me, and neither will anyone else."
The death of Uncle Tao was a very serious matter, enough to make the people of the two tribes become enemies.
As for why it came to this, Si Ye admitted that he still had some selfish motives of his own, but once the fuse was ignited, it was like a bomb that exploded directly.
Even if he was so heartless as to forgive the Jintong tribe, the people in that tribe would not forgive him, and he would no longer have a place to stand.
"So, since you don't agree with the tribe's choice, you have to come up with a feasible method, otherwise we have no choice but to choose this path." Si Ye said in a firm tone.
