At this moment, Xu Changhuan's furious roar echoed in the workshop courtyard.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the man who had suddenly appeared behind Xu Changhuan and saved her.
The man didn't need to speak or look at them; he simply stood there quietly, yet he exuded a kingly aura. The people around him even felt an urge to kneel down and pay their respects.
Who is this man?
Xu Datou and Xu Cang looked at the man standing behind Xu Changhuan with disbelief and fear.
What does that man do? Why does he exude such a murderous aura? His kung fu is even better than my master's.
Seeing that she was already so angry, and that her two senior brothers were still looking at Yun Chang, Xu Changhuan was so angry that she lashed out with her whip, ready to strike them.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chang appeared beside her in a flash, grasped her whip, and said softly, "Huanhuan, calm down. This matter is obviously being orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. I guess it's related to what happened thirty years ago."
Xu Changhuan slowed down and slowly turned his head to look at Yun Chang.
He calls himself Huanhuan?
Yun Chang turned her head and met her slightly reddened eyes, and her heart suddenly softened. After all, she was just a young girl in her early twenties.
"Don't be angry, I'll investigate this. You should first calm the other tribespeople down and explain the situation clearly." He sighed inwardly; having taken this step, there was no turning back.
Whether it's passive or active, once I've intervened, I'll protect her.
Yun Chang was never one to back down from trouble, but he never expected that his and Xu Changhuan's lives would become intertwined.
Xu Changhuan continued to look at him, her brows slowly furrowing. The Xu clan was very exclusive, and if an outsider like him tried to interfere in her affairs, a group of clan elders would probably stand up for him.
Sure enough, while they were still staring at each other, several old men walked out from behind the crowd.
"Chief, who is he?"
"Chief, is this the guest you've been waiting for these past few days?"
"How can an outsider interfere in the affairs of our tribe?"
“Yes, chieftain, it is best for us to handle our own clan’s affairs.”
"Look at Xu Datou and Xu Cang, beaten up like this by an outsider, and you still accuse them of wrongdoing? Is this how you act as a chieftain?"
Several old men came over and started lecturing Xu Changhuan all at once.
They knew that Xu Changhuan certainly wouldn't dare to raise his whip at them in front of so many people.
Hearing the elders' words, Xu Changhuan sneered and turned to look at them. "It seems you are aware that your sons are colluding with outsiders, so you've come to protect them?"
"Xu Changhuan, what nonsense are you spouting? Your father's life or death is unknown, and you usually rely on your senior brothers for help, don't you?"
"This must all be a misunderstanding. You weren't injured, so there's no need to take it out on the clan members and instead believe an outsider, is there?" Elder Xu He and Elder Xu Zhong angrily rebuked Zhao Huanhuan.
Xu He is Xu Datou's father, and Xu Datou is his third son.
Xu Tong was Xu Cang's father, and Xu Cang was his fourth son.
Yun Chang glanced at the old men and then looked around at the people watching all this with cold eyes. She suddenly felt a little sorry for Xu Changhuan. She planned to live a lonely life for these clansmen, but these people all had their own thoughts and wanted to replace their master.
Was she misjudging people, or was she bound by the promise her father made when he left?
He had heard Li Mai tell him some things about Xu Changhuan, but at first he didn't think much of it; it was just someone's story. Now, facing these people and events firsthand, he realized how difficult it was for a young girl like him to shoulder the responsibilities of an entire clan in her teens.
At nineteen, her younger sister got married and her father left home. She took over as the village chief and led the people of the tribe to survive.
Looking back now, it seems that she has had a really tough time all these years. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made the decision not to get married, but to lead her people to a better life, eventually elect a new chieftain, and then become a nun to spend the rest of her life.
Xu Changhuan looked coldly at Xu He, narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did you know my father's fate was unknown? Even I don't know where my father is now, so how did you know?"
Yun Chang also looked at the elders. Could it be that Xu Changhuan's father had been captured?
Xu Changhuan's heart trembled slightly. Could it be that something really happened to his father? Why were these people starting to make trouble for him because they knew his father was in trouble?
So, their goal is the position of chieftain and the incense shop?
But she had to remain calm. She was the chieftain of this village and couldn't let those who had designs on their master's family see that she had lost her composure.
"Don't overthink it. They're trying to shake you up and make you panic. Trust me, I'll have people investigate thoroughly." Yun Chang took a step closer to Xu Changhuan, placed her hand on her shoulder, and gently comforted her.
Xu Changge stared blankly at the hand that was placed on her shoulder.
"Miss Xu, remember to cooperate with me later. I will help you settle the matter of the Xu family. I have already sent people to investigate the Xu family's affairs in the capital. The Xu family will return to what it was before." When Yun Chang placed her hand on her shoulder, she used her mind to send what she wanted to say into Xu Changhuan's consciousness.
Xu Changhuan was taken aback and met his gaze again. She saw that his mouth hadn't moved, but she was certain that the voice just now was Yun Chang's voice.
"good!"
The voice he transmitted to her mind, and the resolute look in his eyes when he looked at her, suddenly made Xu Changhuan feel that this man seemed like a reliable person.
