Shi Tianming stood alone in front of the wooden house not far away, thinking about Haitang's words. He felt that he shouldn't have thought Haitang was right; Haitang was completely wrong.
But then he fell into confusion, asking himself, "Do you really think Haitang is wrong? Over the years, do you think what Shitianming has done is right?"
Shi Tianming's self-reflection wasn't because he felt he had wronged Hu Mingyue, nor was it because he realized how much he had wronged others. Rather, it was because he realized that this was wrong, and that his power was wrong.
Just as Haitang said, is strong respect really something that only needs a woman to maintain? Can a woman maintain it? Can an item that a woman herself is willing to give away really serve as a bond?
As Shi Tianming pondered this, he couldn't help but frown. Yes, it was simply impossible. Even if he gave Hu Mingyue to this young clan leader now, how much could the young clan leader help him? Just a tiny bit, enough to give him a foothold here.
The problem is that Lion Sky Cry doesn't just want to establish himself; he also wants revenge and to wipe out the Lion Clan tribe. Under these circumstances, he is not satisfied with merely establishing himself.
Haitang's words stung Shi Tianming, making him realize that, yes, his so-called strength was only for himself from beginning to end. No one would be willing to sacrifice their life for him, and no one would die for him.
Without anyone's help, what could he do alone? Should he go to the young clan leader to ask for his people back? Even if the young clan leader gave them to him, what could he do then? Shi Tianming thought about many things.
Having figured out many things, yet still not understanding others, Shi Tianming looked blankly into the distance, only to see Haitang returning with Yueyue. "You've been standing here alone for so long?"
During their break, Haitang and Yueyue noticed that Shi Tianming was still standing there. When they returned, Shi Tianming was still there, which surprised them. Looking at Haitang and Yueyue, Shi Tianming asked, "Haitang, what is strength in your mind?"
"Inner strength commands respect and willing following," he said, looking at Lion Sky Cry. "And this following must earn respect, Lion Sky Cry..."
“If your woman can be touched by others at will, and your things can be touched by others at will, then you are no longer the boss. When you want brothers and followers, you can’t tame others like you would tame slaves, because slaves… will never die for you.”
Slaves would never die for their masters; many orcs knew this. However, the Tiger Tribe was different. The orc slaves of the Tiger Tribe were willing to fight for the tribe, not for any other reason than because their sincerity was reciprocated.
Haitang's words made Shi Tianming fall silent. "What did you go out to do just now?" Yueyue asked, looking at Haitang. Haitang looked at Shi Tianming.
"I have some business to attend to outside. By the way, I'd like you to take me to see the young clan leader," Haitang said to Shi Tianming. Although the young clan leader claimed to be a tribute, it wasn't easy for him to actually meet anyone.
Because this tribute wasn't just for the young clan leader, but also for Yueyue, upon hearing this, Shi Tianming looked at Haitang and said, "Alright, come with me."
He had some connections with the young clan leader, but when Shi Tianming and his men went there, they were humiliated. The young clan leader refused to see him at all. Shi Tianming couldn't help but frown. "Brother, could you tell me why?"
Shi Tianming couldn't help but frown. He wondered why the young clan leader wouldn't see him. Although he and the young clan leader weren't sworn brothers, they were still good friends. What was the purpose of refusing to meet under such circumstances?
At that moment, Haitang whispered a few words in Shi Tianming's ear. When Shi Tianming looked at Haitang, he asked, "Are you telling the truth?" Haitang was referring to the fact that the young clan leader was seriously ill.
Upon hearing this, Haitang looked at Shitianming and said, "Do you think I'm joking with you?" Haitang's words made Shitianming pause slightly in surprise.
Just as Haitang had said, there was no need for her to deceive herself now. So she whispered a few words in the guard's ear. Haitang didn't know what Shi Tianming said. But soon after the guard went in, the person inside came out and said, "You go in alone."
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianming glanced at Haitang. Yueyue instinctively reached out and grabbed Haitang's hand. Haitang gave Yueyue a reassuring look and then followed the person inside.
Shi Tianming also wanted to go in, but was quickly stopped. Haitang looked at Shi Tianming and said, "I can go in by myself." Shi Tianming nodded, feeling a little annoyed. He wasn't worried about Haitang, but rather wanted to know what was happening inside.
When Haitang walked in, she saw the man lying not far away, his face pale and looking somewhat haggard. "You told Shi Tianming to tell me that you saw my injuries. Do you know that once you come in, you won't be able to leave?"
“Since I’ve had Lion Skyming speak, I’m confident I can cure the young clan leader,” Haitang said as she looked at him. “Because my life is far more precious than yours.”
Seeing the young clan leader's appearance, Haitang knew that the man's injuries were more serious than she had imagined. The young clan leader stood up directly. Although he looked weak, he still managed to pinch Haitang's hand with considerable force. Haitang frowned.
"You should know that if I don't recover, I'll kill you right now." He said coldly as he looked at Haitang. Upon hearing this, Haitang glanced at the young clan leader's wrist.
