Chapter 5733 Fury

"But just because of suspicion, did the young patriarch exile you from the tribe?"

Zhang Yifeng completely interrupted Shui Xin's intention to ask again, and touched his chin to confirm with him.

After all, this way of handling things seems a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

Just by becoming the acting clan leader he can have such power. It would be incredible if he could sit in this position completely.

He exiled a person from the tribe without any reason, just because he was suspected, and the person was his nominal brother...

Although Zhang Yifeng didn't think that this guy would have much affection for Shui Xin, his adopted son, this was a bit too much no matter how you looked at it.

Looking at Shui Xin's expression, it was clear that she didn't get any chance to explain herself.

"Your Excellency may not know that before the old clan leader was poisoned, the young clan leader had been changing the clan rules openly or covertly."

"Originally, the Shui clan advocated the concept of equality for all, but the young clan leader insisted on promoting all the clan leader's line to nobles in the clan."

“Separating them from the so-called untouchables like us who have no identity has led to a worsening attitude towards us.”

"It's obvious that the young patriarch was not like this before..."

The captain of the guard lowered his head and spoke through gritted teeth, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.

After all, they are the abandoned ones, and it is impossible to say that they have no resentment in their hearts.

"Has your personality changed drastically?"

"No matter what, let's go back to your Shui clan's residence first. Maybe I have a way to remove the poison from your old clan leader."

Zhang Yifeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he spoke in a calm voice.

The drastic change in the temperament of the young patriarch of the Shui clan is somewhat similar to when Yanlong was bewitched by the devil.

Perhaps the Shui clan has also been invaded by the devil.

"Of course, it's just..."

The captain of the guard pursed his lips and subconsciously looked at Shui Xin who was standing next to Zhang Yifeng.

Now that they have escaped from danger, they have not forgotten their mission of exile.

If we bring Shui Xin back to the clan, I'm afraid...

Just as the captain of the guard was struggling, Zhang Yifeng said calmly: "If anyone causes trouble for you, just blame me."

"Anyway, once I cure your clan leader, everything will be revealed naturally."

"If you, Shui Xin, have a clear conscience, then return to the Shui clan with me."

Zhang Yifeng said this and turned to look at Shui Xin beside him.

After this provocation, Shui Xin's face showed reluctance.

No matter how calm he pretended to be, he was still a teenager at heart and was unwilling to bear such a false accusation.

"A man of integrity has nothing to fear. I am willing to go back with you!"

Shui Xin said this with a determined look in her eyes, and immediately followed Zhang Yifeng in the direction of the Shui clan.

Looking at the two people's receding backs, the captain of the guard gritted his teeth and hurriedly led his men to catch up.

The Yanhuang Grassland is very close to the current residence of the Shui Clan, so it is regarded as a place of exile by the Shui Clan.

A big part of the reason for choosing this place to live is because it is backed by the grassland. With the herds of wild bulls running rampant in it, ordinary people dare not plan to attack them from behind.

In addition, these wild bulls have never left the grassland, so the safety of their habitat can be guaranteed.

On the other side, Shui Xuan and his group, who had returned to the Shui clan first, were now resting in the clan's main hall.

"I didn't expect that these untouchables could be of some use at a critical moment."

Shui Che sneered and turned his head to glance at Shui Xuan who was sitting absent-mindedly next to him.

"Alas, Xuan, that's the bad thing about you. You're too kind."

"It doesn't matter if one or two of these lowly people die. With the current Shui clan, we are fully capable of unifying the entire continent."

"So, have you thought about what I told you last time?"

There was a gleam in Shui Che's eyes, and he whispered into Shui Xuan's ear.

Hearing this, Shui Xuan's body trembled slightly and the expression on his face changed several times.

"The aftermath of the war that occurred on this continent decades ago has not yet subsided. You want me to start a war again. If we lose the war, where will our clan go?"

"Isn't it good to just take a rest and recuperate like this now?"

Shui Xuan asked back through gritted teeth.

That's right, long before the old patriarch fainted from the poison, Shuiche had suggested to him more than once that he should conquer other surrounding clans.

But Shui Xuan has not made up his mind and has put the proposal on hold until now.

Hearing this, Shuiche just smiled and patted his shoulder, saying casually: "It's okay, you think about it for a while."

"But time waits for no one. I'm afraid other clans may have ill intentions towards us first."

After saying a meaningful sentence, Shuiche turned his gaze away.

On the other side that Shui Xuan couldn't see, a look of impatience flashed across Shui Che's gloomy face.

Just as Shui Xuan was still thinking about what he had said, the door of the hall was pushed open with great force.

"Young Patriarch, the team that accompanied you to the grassland earlier..."

The clan warrior who rushed into the hall in a panic lowered his head and wanted to report what he had discovered.

Before he could finish his words, Shuiche looked at him impatiently and said coldly, "You useless idiot. What are you arguing about?"

"Didn't I tell you that all the members of that team died in order to cover our retreat and that of the young patriarch?"

Shuiche thought that this guy was here to ask about the situation of those untouchables again, so he stood up and looked down at him.

"No, it's not. That team has returned to the clan safely."

"And they came back with a stranger, and Shui Xin..."

The soldier who came in to report swallowed his saliva and carefully reported the whole situation.

"what?!"

Now it was Shui Xuan's turn to be shocked. He suddenly stood up from his chair and glared at the soldier kneeling on the ground.

"Young Patriarch, what I said is absolutely true. They are now being interrogated at the city gate."

The warrior did not grasp the point of Shui Xuan's anger and hurriedly made the assurance.

"What a lucky bastard!"

"Very good, since you didn't die in that damn place, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Shui Xuan let out a low shout, drew the long sword from his waist, rushed out of the hall, and headed straight for the city gate.

Seeing this, Shuiche narrowed his eyes and slowly suppressed the impatience on his face.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. These are your compensation for your hard work in coming here to report."

Shuiche walked forward slowly, helped up the shivering soldier on the ground, took something out of his sleeve and handed it to him.

The soldier stood up in a daze, looked at the object in his hand with his eyes widened suddenly, and then quickly put it away.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Waterwheel."

After the soldier saluted respectfully, he hurriedly left the hall.

"Lord Shuiche is much stronger than the young patriarch. At least he knows how to sympathize with his subordinates. He is nothing like the young patriarch who only knows how to make rules that oppress us."
