Chapter 457: Episode 146: Wen Yan’s Hope (8) (1st update, seeking support, recent performance is dismal)

As Brand softly said “I’m sorry,” the argunt inside the longhouse seed to escalate at that mont——

‘Bang’ ca a loud noise, the young man slamd his hands on the pine wood table, veins bulging. “I don’t agree!” His eyes reddened, he gritted his teeth and angrily rebuked: “Funiya is still a child, she is Lord Sally’s daughter! And we are the n of the tribe, n, are you going to rely on exchanging a child’s life to survive?”

“Can you do it?”

“Can you!”

The young man’s roar echoed in the longhouse, for a mont everyone looked at each other, no one dared to respond. Bolton crossed his arms, remained silent, and the elder rely sighed faintly——he lifted his head, blinking his old, cloudy eyes forcefully.

Everyone took a deep breath.

“Who is that?” Brand asked, looking towards the longhouse.

“Brother Tuo.” The little girl answered softly in Elf Language, blinking her eyes, her voice as clear as a string of silver bells falling into the forest clearing.

Brand nodded.

Inside the longhouse, there was a mont of silence.

“Enough,” the gaunt middle-aged man sighed heavily, shaking his head: “Tuo, you’ve said enough, don’t hurt everyone anymore.”

“Uncle Cliff!” The young man clenched his fist.

“It’s already enough, we understand as well——but we are Senia People, do you understand? This is the Destiny we bear, life and death, it’s not our own choice.”

“Tuo, do you still rember those clan mbers who froze to death in the forest?” The middle-aged man asked in a low voice.

The young man slightly loosened, he wanted to say sothing but couldn’t utter a syllable; he could only bite his upper lip tightly, lift his head and take a deep breath, blinking his reddened eyes: “Of course, my father…”

“He did it to keep you alive, child.” The elder sighed.

“I know.”

“Every one of us does,” the middle-aged man replied: “So please consider our position, and also those of the deceased clan mbers.”

“In our Senia People’s legend, there is an ancient song in the forest, and the ancestors’ souls are also watching us in this forest; they struggled generation after generation in the Black Forest, bleeding and sacrificing, but not to let it end impulsively in a single day.”

“Do you understand?” He asked word by word.

The air in the room seed to freeze, soone was sobbing softly.

“I… understand.”

“But, are we going to live in such cowardice forever? What’s the aning of that, Lord Nia also said, living isn’t just about surviving——” The young man turned his head and wiped his eyes, choked up: “Can we give up everything just to survive?”

“At least living gives hope,” the middle-aged man shook his head: “If I can’t see that hope, Tuo, I at least wish to leave that hope to you——”

The young man lowered his head.

“Elder, you make the decision.” The middle-aged man turned his head back.

The elder’s eyes flashed with sadness, he was silent for a mont: “Alright, but none of us have the right to let other clansn die for us, I hope you can ask Funiya’s own opinion.”

“But there’s no precedent for this before.” Soone in the crowd said.

“That’s because the ones who made the decisions before were the n or elders in the clan, I believe they had the judgnt ability to understand what they were doing.” The elder replied, lowering his eyelids.

Everyone was stunned, then silently thoughtful.

“But Funiya is a child, what does she understand? Are we going to let a child decide the fate of the tribe, this is too reckless!” Soone in the crowd opposed.

The middle-aged man’s face instantly turned cold.

“But now you also rely on a child to save yourselves, don’t you——even if it’s out of desperation, shouldn’t you feel ashad?” The middle-aged man turned back, looking at the masses of heads inside the longhouse, angrily asked.

“It’s easy to say, but there’s never been this precedent before. Besides, Funiya is the elder’s granddaughter…” Soone responded softly.

This statent was like a stone thrown into water, causing the crowd to montarily fall silent, the previously bent head Tuo was stunned then reacted——he turned back like an enraged lion, stared at the person who spoke in the crowd.

Tuo couldn’t believe soone still thought like this at this mont.

“Indeed, she’s not your daughter, so can you carelessly send her away to exchange for your miserable survival?” The young man was almost roaring, he unleashed his full fury: “You bastard, you are not fit to be called a Senia person, now, get out——”
