She was just a little female, and a junior in his family, so why did a casual look make him feel uneasy?
After a moment of silence, Hu Jiaojiao finally spoke and politely refused:
"Thank you for your kindness, we are all from the same tribe, this place is big enough for us to stay, and we don't need to move."
Although he is his mother's partner, this attitude is too strange.
Hu Qiang has been watching Hu Lin's movements, and when he saw him coming to instigate Hu Jiaojiao, he hurried over and stood between the two.
"Jiaojiao is right, we live here as a family and we won't go anywhere. You should go back and manage your tribe. You have nothing to do here!"
He waved his hands with a look of disdain, looking like he wanted him to disappear immediately.
Hearing Hu Qiang's emphasis on "family", Hu Lin's face became a little ugly, but because Hu Jiaojiao was here, he couldn't get angry with Hu Qiang, so he just smiled and said:
"Hu Qiang, I am also Jiaojiao's father. Since you said so, I will live here too to accompany Jiaojiao and Minmin."
As he said that, he directly ordered his subordinates to move all the things in his cave.
Then he looked at Hu Qiang proudly.
"You're right, a family means living together."
"You!" Hu Qiang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
If Hu Jiaojiao hadn't been there, he would have lost control and "stroked" Hu Lin's cheek with his fist.
This old fox is still as annoying as ever.
Hu Jiaojiao naturally sensed the tit-for-tat aura between the two and found an excuse to get Hu Qiang away:
"Dad, go call mom, I want to talk to you two."
Since Hu Lin is her mother's partner, she can't be stubborn and take her mother back. She has to listen to her mother's opinion.
If she wants to stay, she will respect her mother's choice and go back to explain it to the clan leader.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, Hu Qiang snorted at Hu Lin in dissatisfaction, turned around and looked at Hu Jiaojiao with a friendly face:
"Okay, I'll go now."
If Hu Qiang is a simple, kind, loyal and honest person, then Hu Lin is the cunning old fox.
He saw Hu Jiaojiao's intention at a glance, and when Hu Qiang left, he approached with a grin.
"Jiaojiao, do you have anything to say to Dad?"
Ever since he knew that Hu Jiaojiao was Hu Min's cub, he liked her more and more.
In his eyes, Hu Jiaojiao perfectly inherited Hu Min's advantages, with a handsome appearance, independent personality, intelligence and wisdom, and good vision.
As a result, he looked at Long Mo with a little more appreciation.
As for the half of Hu Qiang's blood in her body, he simply ignored it.
Hu Jiaojiao turned around and saw Hu Lin's enlarged face. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she took two steps back to keep some distance.
She cleared her throat and got straight to the point:
"Chief, I know you want us to stay, but this is not our tribe after all. My people must go back. As for my mother, if she is willing to stay, I will support any decision she makes."
Hearing this, the smile on Hu Lin's face collapsed immediately.
If she doesn't stay, doesn't that mean Minmin has to leave too?
"Jiaojiao, think about it again. Our tribe is also very good. As long as you stay, Dad will definitely leave the best supplies for you."
Now that he had said it, Hu Lin no longer hid his thoughts and advised directly.
Hu Jiaojiao shook her head with a firm look.
"I have to go back."
She had just led Fengsheng and the 800 beastmen from the Canglang tribe back. She couldn't just ignore them. The tribe was still in the initial stage of development. She had accompanied the tribe step by step, and she couldn't let go of the tribe in her heart.
That was her root, her root in the beast world.
What's more, the land near the Leihe tribe was barren and could not be developed at all. It was even more impossible to move the tribe here.
"But." Hu Jiaojiao paused, and seeing Hu Lin's gloomy face, she added: "I can tell you the method I mentioned before."
Hu Lin still hung his head and looked depressed, like a defeated rooster, without a trace of happiness in his eyes.
Minmin was leaving, what was the use of asking for a method.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't expect him to react like this. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Long Mo came to Hu Jiaojiao's side and found a trace of sadness on her face. He frowned, and a trace of deep thought flashed across his deep eyes.
He reached out and wrapped Hu Jiaojiao's hand in his palm.
Hu Jiaojiao subconsciously looked up and saw that Long Mo's eyes were firm and affectionate, as if saying: No matter what you do, I will stand behind you.
Her heart, which had just been a little depressed, suddenly brightened up.
It's difficult to have both in the world, so why should she be perfect in everything!
Hu Jiaojiao also held Long Mo's hand in return, smiled at him, and the two of them interlocked their fingers, as if there was a special power flowing into their blood.
After a while, Hu Qiang brought Hu Min.
Seeing Hu Lin's expression, Hu Min vaguely guessed something, and asked Hu Qinglu to take the four cubs next to them to play somewhere else, and then looked at Hu Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, what do you want to talk about?"
Hu Jiaojiao repeated to Hu Min what she had just said to Hu Lin.
Hearing this, Hu Min answered without thinking:
"Of course I have to go back, Jiaojiao, don't worry, I will go back with you."
It's not that she has no feelings for Hu Lin.
But, on one side is Hu Qiang and the cubs, a group of people, and on the other side is Hu Lin alone, she can't abandon a group for one.
Hu Qiang was the happiest to hear Hu Min's words.
Ignoring Hu Lin's depressed face, Hu Min hugged him and said,
"Yes, we will go back with Jiao Jiao. This is not our tribe, so we will definitely not stay here."
As he said this, he glanced at Hu Lin provocatively.
Hu Lin was furious and gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing.
He couldn't force Minmin.
After thinking for a moment, Hu Lin suddenly said loudly:
"I will go back with you too!"
When this was said, not only Hu Jiaojiao and others, but even the beastmen of the Leihe tribe looked at Hu Lin in astonishment.
"Chief, what will we do if you leave?"
"Yes, chief, we can't live without you..."
They were originally three small tribes that had nothing to do with each other. It was Hu Lin's arrival that brought them together and made them strong today. If it weren't for the poor land and limited resources here, the tribe would definitely be stronger than it is now.
Without the leader, wouldn't their tribe fall apart!
Hu Lin glanced at the beastmen of the Leihe Tribe, and said in a heavy and loud voice:
"I have established the Leihe Tribe for the past 20 years with only one purpose, that is to find my partner. Now that I have found her, there is no point in staying here any longer."
"There are many powerful beastmen in the tribe. I believe you can protect the Leihe Tribe. After I leave, I will let the giant lizard boss be the leader. Don't worry, I will arrange everything before I leave."
There was no hesitation on Hu Lin's face.
"Leader..." The beastmen of the Leihe Tribe all looked reluctant.
Seeing Hu Lin's firm expression, they knew that he would not change his mind once he made up his mind, and they all closed their mouths in silence.
"Actually." At this time, a deep voice interrupted the solemn atmosphere.
The beasts looked at Long Mo who was speaking.
Long Mo's face was calm and his voice was calm:
"You can join our tribe together."
