Capítulo 1684: Chapter 1684: Tradition
Hearing the footsteps, Chen Xue discarded the sickle and bowed deeply to Qin Yu and Mo Yuqi.
Qin Yu and Mo Yuqi just nodded slightly. What could they possibly need Chen Xue to do? She was just an ordinary girl.
“Chen Xue, you all shouldn’t co to dangerous places like this casually. Sooner or later, sothing will happen. I’ll speak to the Silver Moon Sect about this.”
“Mm,” Chen Xue nodded softly, deeply affected by her companion’s death.
“We’re leaving now. You can rest here for a day; the Silver Moon Sect will co soon to handle the trouble.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mo.”
After bidding farewell to Chen Xue, Mo Yuqi and Qin Yu left the inn and walked towards the herders.
Before leaving, Qin Yu took a large piece of at, opened the passenger door, and picked up Little Song from the car seat.
Even in sleep, Little Song’s nose was twitching non-stop, clearly slling the aroma of the roasted at.
Little Song’s small lon-like head lifted, trying to snatch the beef from Qin Yu’s hand, but Qin Yu clearly didn’t want to let it succeed and lifted the beef higher.
With its eyes closed, Little Song stood up and bit towards the beef.
Qin Yu stopped teasing it and let go of his hand; Little Song clung to the beef with its tiny paws, gnawing at it vigorously.
Mo Yuqi watched in amazent, admiring the Guardian Divine Beast of Cheng Venerable, which even in deep sleep, had the instinct to eat. However, didn’t squirrels like pine nuts?
After Sangba got into the back seat of the car, he was also surprised. “Benefactor, is this your Spiritual Beast? A little squirrel?”
“Sort of. Qiqi, drive. Danba, you guide the way.”
“Yes.”
Following Sangba’s directions, it took more than three hours for the SUV to reach a wooden village gate, on which several powerful, gilded characters were inscribed—Tanmu Village!
Qin Yu looked up and saw that Tanmu Village was vast, covering at least thousands of acres!
There were several watchtowers on each side of the village gate, with guards patrolling and strong crossbows mounted on them.
“**&…%*&…” Upon seeing the SUV, soone on the watchtower let out a loud shout.
Sangba hurriedly stuck out his head and shouted back, “**&%*&%…”
Seeing that it was the young village chief returning, the guards quickly opened the gate, and the SUV drove into the village!
In the border area, horses were the main form of transportation, and the villagers rarely saw cars, so they gathered around, looking with curiosity.
After seeing Sangba getting out of the car, everyone bowed and paid their respects, “We’ve seen the young village chief.”
Sangba looked around and upon spotting an acquaintance, he grabbed the man’s arm and asked in a deep voice, “Zhaxi, has Dahu returned yet?”
Hearing this, everyone’s faces showed disappointnt; they had thought Sangba had brought back Dahu!
“What, have people from the Sangtong Village co?” Seeing everyone’s expressions, Sangba’s face turned ugly; his worst fears were coming true!
With a grimace, Zhaxi said, “I don’t know who tipped off the people of Sangtong Village, but now that Dahu isn’t here, what do we do?
If the Snow Mastiff King’s cub is snatched away, our Tanmu Village will face even tougher tis!”
Mo Yuqi asked, puzzled, “It’s so strange. Why use dog fighting to decide the fate of the Snow Mastiff King’s cubs?”
Sangba and Zhaxi were taken aback by the question. They didn’t know why either. After a pause, Sangba said, “It’s just tradition, I guess? A tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years.”
Qin Yu shook his head gently, “It may be tradition now, but originally, it wasn’t about tradition! Only the village with the strongest Mastiff King could prove their mastiffs had the best genes!”
