Tao Lezhi looked bewildered and said:
"What do you think?"
"Are you talking about Patriarch Chen?"
"Patriarch Chen is humble and modest, and is truly the leader of the clan."
After hearing this answer, the elder of the Kong family who asked the question just smiled and said no more. The elder of the Shi family beside him also seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing that the two did not ask any further questions, Tao Lezhi chuckled in his heart.
Of course he knew what the two meant.
Even though the Chen family is quite powerful, small families like theirs also have other ideas. So when they saw each other in the side hall, they seemed more enthusiastic and prepared for future cooperation.
But what happened today made Tao Lezhi realize that the Chen family might not be easy to mess with. Since the Chen family is not overbearing, the family will just wait and see the situation.
Moreover, today, Patriarch Chen deliberately let the three of them gather in a side hall, which might be a test for them.
Perhaps, even if they unite, the Chen family will not be afraid.
Moreover, he heard that the Yu family had been making a lot of moves recently.
The current situation is turbulent, and the family should act with caution and stay out of the spotlight for the time being.
After walking together for a while, the three of them soon dispersed at a fork in the road and headed in the direction of their respective families.
…
A few days later, several small families rushed to Yong'an City with the few ferocious beasts in their tribes.
In response to these families' goodwill, Chen Tianjing also exchanged their resources for blood rice.
This approach also made these small families more friendly.
After completing transactions with several small families, the resources of ferocious beasts in the family were almost the same, reaching the number that Chen Tianjing had expected, and he immediately issued a notice within the family.
The family will hold a grand family ceremony seven days later, which is at the time of Chen on the second day of the twelfth month of the Wanlong calendar year 1239.
After the time was determined, all the ferocious beast resources in Yong'an City were transferred to the Mass Burial Hill.
In order to prepare for this grand family ceremony, Chen Tianjing returned home early to make preparations.
Other tribesmen are also looking forward to this.
…
"Patriarch Chen, we are here to say goodbye to you. Thank you for taking us in these days. We are very grateful."
At the mass grave mountain, Chen Tianjing looked at Zhou Honglang and others who were preparing to leave, with a pensive look on his face.
"Mr. Zhou, have you thought it through?"
Chen Tianjing asked seriously.
The family had previously promised the patriarch Zhou that they would help the descendants of the Zhou family to the best of their ability, and the family did not break their promise.
Even if Zhou Honglang lived in the family for a few years, Chen Tianjing had no other objections.
But the family will only help once. If Zhou Honglang and others come to the family again next time, he may not agree. After all, taking them in is extremely risky.
Chen Tianjing's question at this moment implied this meaning, and he believed that Zhou Honglang could hear the meaning.
"I've thought it through!"
Zhou Honglang said again, he certainly understood what Chen Tianjing meant.
But he was worried that if they continued to stay in the Mass Grave Hill, they would lose their fighting spirit and even the courage to revive the family.
A peaceful life will always wear away people's will, even warriors are no exception, so even though the Mass Grave Hill is quite safe, they have reasons to leave.
Seeing the determination on Zhou Honglang's and the others' faces, Chen Tianjing said nothing more, but just nodded:
"I understand. I will send my tribesmen to escort you away from the Mass Grave Mountain, and I will also give you some jade coins as travel expenses."
"Then I would like to thank Chief Chen."
Zhou Honglang did not reject Chen Tianjing's kindness. After all, several people really needed these things now.
As for where they were going next, Chen Tianjing did not ask much. After all, the relationship between the two sides was not that close.
Soon, Zhou Honglang and his companions disappeared among the family.
"Thank you for seeing me off."
Outside the white fog, Zhou Honglang bowed and thanked several members of the Chen family.
Seeing several people enter the white fog again, Zhou Honglang and his companions relaxed.
They did leave the mass grave, and the Chen family had no other intentions. They just wanted to take them in.
The other tribesmen who thought of this all had complicated expressions. It seemed that they were judging others by their own standards.
But when they go out, they have no choice. One careless move could result in death.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
A tribesman nearby asked.
Zhou Honglang looked around, took a deep breath, and then whispered.
The figures of several people quickly disappeared from the spot.
"Chief, they have already left."
After a while, the tribesmen who escorted the few people away returned to report.
After hearing this, Chen Tianjing just nodded:
"I see."
But soon, a tribe member ran to the front and said:
"Patriarch, this is what I found when I was cleaning the guest room. It seems to be something left behind by Zhou Honglang and his men."
"Oh? Show it to me."
Chen Tianjing looked at the silk handed to him by his tribesmen, with a hint of doubt on his face.
After opening the silk and seeing the contents recorded on it, Chen Tianjing's eyes narrowed slightly.
On the silk was a brand new earth-level combat skill.
The name of this fighting skill is Meteor Without Trace, which is a sword fighting skill. After being practiced to perfection, it can kill people without leaving any trace.
Even though it was only of low quality, the Earth-level combat skills were something that ordinary families could not access.
But if it was a legacy of the Zhou family, it would not be surprising.
Although this earth-level combat skill was not as helpful to the family as imagined, after all, the family had already obtained two earth-level combat skills from the sacred tree, but the actions of Zhou Honglang and others still made Chen Tianjing reveal a faint smile.
