Yang Cheng originally thought that the Shui family was the kind of reclusive family that was content with the status quo, with some heritage but little practical experience.
But now it seems that's not the case.
The Shui family's defenses were extremely tight, and their disciples even exuded a hint of murderous intent. They were well-trained, just like an army, completely different from the ancient family Yang Cheng had imagined.
Since the Shui family doesn't have much interaction with the outside world, they must be traveling to and from Yunmeng Marsh, honing their killing intent by hunting fierce beasts.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Fellow members of the Shui family, please wait! I am a member of the anti-Qin alliance! We have no ill intentions towards you!"
A moment later, the camp gate was opened, and an old man dressed in white linen clothes led more than a hundred disciples of the Shui family out.
Zhang Liang whispered, "This person is Shui Jing, the current patriarch of the Shui family. He is a very stubborn and difficult old man."
The young man behind him was his son, Shui Qing. This young man was quite ambitious, wanting to leave Yunmengze, but unfortunately, his father was now in charge of the Shui family, and the Shui family also had an elders' council. Almost all of them disagreed with the Shui family cooperating with the alliance leader.
The members of the Shui family stepped forward, and Shui Jing said in a deep voice, "When Alliance Leader Xiong Wu recruited us last time, I said that my Shui family has been living in seclusion in Yunmeng Marsh since the Xia and Shang dynasties, because we are afraid of external attacks and wars."
We are deeply grateful for Alliance Leader Xiong Wu's favor, but please forgive our Shui family for being unable to accept joining the anti-Qin alliance.
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Chief Shui has misunderstood. We are not here to recruit you, but to help you."
The Qin State's Grand Preceptor and Director of the Imperial Observatory, Xu Fu, has set his sights on the Shui family's most precious treasure, Nuwa's Tears. To this end, he has begun preparations to sweep away the anti-Qin forces in the Chu State and secretly send out experts to seize Nuwa's Tears.
The tyrannical Qin dynasty and Xu Fu are the common enemies of us and you, the Water Tribe Chief, so the Water Tribe Chief need not be wary of us.
We don't need Nuwa's Tears, and we don't know how to use them, but we absolutely cannot let them fall into Xu Fu's hands.
When Shui Jing and the other members of the Shui family heard about Nuwa's tears, their expressions changed.
Whether this item is a treasure to others is another matter, but to the Shui family, it is absolutely a treasure among treasures, a symbol of their family heritage, and something that cannot be lost.
But the fact that this matter was told to them by the anti-Qin alliance made the Shui family members somewhat uneasy.
Shui Jing said in a deep voice, "Thank you all for providing this information. I will strengthen our defenses later."
"If the Qin state truly sends people to seize Nuwa's Tears, my Shui family swears to protect this family heirloom to the death!"
Zhang Liang asked anxiously, "What's the use of strengthening your defenses?"
The ones who came to steal your Nuwa Tears this time are hundreds of demons from Mount Li!
In the past, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led an uprising of hundreds of thousands of people, but were defeated in a single battle by ten thousand demons from Mount Li.
You have no idea what you're really facing!
Let's enter the Shui family's camp. We've brought people from the Mo family with us. They can help you set up defensive mechanisms, and we can also help your Shui family resist the demons of Lishan!
This is not just a matter concerning your Shui family, but a matter concerning the entire world!
"If Nuwa's Tears fall into Xu Fu's hands, who knows what he might do!"
Shui Jing glanced at Zhang Liang and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, but no outsiders have been able to enter my Shui family for many years, and we don't need outsiders to help us guard the city."
"Nuwa's Tears are a priceless heirloom of our Shui family. Of course, we will protect it at all costs; no one else needs to worry about it."
Zhang Liang wanted to say something more profound, but Yang Cheng stopped him.
He took out the mechanical wooden bird from the Mo family and handed it to Shui Jing, saying casually, "Since Chief Shui is so confident, then we won't bother you any longer."
However, if anything happens and we need their help, the aquarium chief can use it to contact us.
After saying that, Yang Cheng simply and decisively pulled Zhang Liang and the others away.
After Yang Cheng left, Shui Jing's son, Shui Qing, said from behind, "Father, they came with good intentions to remind us. Isn't it a bit heartless of us to do this?"
Shui Jing sneered, "A reminder? Do you think these outsiders would be so kind?"
I've met Xiong Wu, the leader of the anti-Qin alliance. He's just a scheming man who only wants the power of my Shui family and wants us to go and die.
Would they really be so kind as to offer a reminder now? They're the ones saying it; who knows if the Qin state actually sent someone to steal Nuwa's Tears?
However, we still can't let our guard down. Tell the people of the tribe not to sleep at night for the time being, and to be on high alert.
With that, Shui Jing tossed the wooden bird aside and returned to the camp.
Shuiqing thought for a moment and then put the wooden bird back into her bosom.
