Chapter 2211: Chapter 2208: Yu Rujiao’s Tribe
"The matters here are settled. I’m heading back to the Shrine. Are you planning to stay here for a while?" the Goddess of War asked.
Ling Feng nodded slightly, "That’s right. The matters concerning Yu Rujiao are not resolved yet. I’ll help her finish things here before leaving!"
"Alright, then. We’ll meet again in the future!" The Goddess of War smiled and then drove away in the War Chariot.
After watching the Goddess of War depart, Ling Feng turned to Yu Rujiao, "Now you can tell me what problems your homeland is facing!"
Yu Rujiao’s face showed a touched expression, "Yes, my lord. My homeland is in the West of the Abyss of the Netherworld, where numerous tribes are packed, with all sorts of experts. My homeland is just a relatively small tribe. I originally planned to use the power of the War Banner to help my homeland acquire a piece of land to survive!"
Ling Feng nodded slightly, "By the way, aren’t you a Temple Envoy? Does that identity have no use at all?"
Yu Rujiao smiled bitterly, "In the Abyss of the Netherworld, strength reigns supreme. I’m just a Temple Envoy, which is similar to a servant in the Chaos God Temple. I don’t even have a Godhood. This kind of status is completely useless in the Abyss of the Netherworld!"
Ling Feng nodded, indicating that he understood, "Alright then, your goal is to find a piece of settlement land for your clan, right?"
Yu Rujiao nodded, "Yes, as long as we have a land to survive on, we can rest and recuperate. By then, we’ll have enough strength to protect ourselves!"
"Then lead the way," Ling Feng said flatly, "I’ll help you with this matter!"
"Thank you, my lord!" Yu Rujiao expressed her gratitude once more.
The continent of the Abyss of the Netherworld is vast. Under Yu Rujiao’s guidance, Ling Feng finally found the tribe that Yu Rujiao belonged to.
The tribe wasn’t very large indeed, with only a few thousand people in sight.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" As they approached, an alarm sounded from the tribe, and then dozens of warriors rushed out, each at the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm. This surprised Ling Feng, this was truly one of the top planes, where even a random warrior was at the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm.
"It’s me, I’m Yu Rujiao!" Yu Rujiao stepped forward first, "I’ve returned!"
"Yu Rujiao? Is it Sister Ru Jiao?" a young man saw Yu Rujiao and couldn’t believe his eyes, "After ten thousand years, Sister Ru Jiao has come back!"
The news of Yu Rujiao’s return quickly stirred up a great commotion in the tribe, which also let Ling Feng see that although Yu Rujiao hadn’t returned to the tribe for ten thousand years, her reputation within the tribe was still very high!
Yu Rujiao brought Ling Feng into the tribe, and several elders came to greet her.
"Clan Leader!" Yu Rujiao hurriedly went up to support the elder, speaking with guilt, "It’s good, it’s good you’ve finally returned. It’s good that you’re back!"
Yu Rujiao whispered, "Rujiao has been away for ten thousand years and hasn’t brought anything to the tribe, deeply feeling ashamed!"
The Clan Leader smiled and said, "It’s enough that you’re safe. The matters of the tribe naturally have the tribe’s men to handle. If we all relied solely on you, then our tribe wouldn’t have any reason to exist."
Ling Feng nodded slightly, thinking that from the Clan Leader’s words, the tribe’s views were quite righteous. This made Ling Feng feel that helping them wouldn’t be too much of a problem.
"Clan Leader, let me introduce you. This is the expert I invited to help our tribe. His name is Ling Feng!" Yu Rujiao said.
Before coming, Ling Feng had already instructed Yu Rujiao not to reveal that he was the War God, as he merely intended to repay a favor to Yu Rujiao and didn’t want to get too deeply entangled with her tribe.
"This..." the Clan Leader had just begun to speak when a burly man rushed over.
"Yu Rujiao, Rujiao, you’ve finally returned!" The burly man saw Yu Rujiao, his eyes lit up, and then he stepped forward to hold Yu Rujiao’s hand, "I’ve waited for you for so long, and at last, you are back!"
Yu Rujiao’s face changed slightly, then she forced a smile, "Brother Shi Yue, long time no see."
Shi Yue’s eyes were only on Yu Rujiao, not even acknowledging the Clan Leader and others.
The Clan Leader gave a dry cough and said, "Shi Yue, Rujiao has just come back. If you have anything to say to her, wait until tomorrow. Don’t you see we have guests?"
It was only then that Shi Yue noticed Ling Feng’s presence and he frowned, "A man? Rujiao, is he the one you brought?"
Yu Rujiao freed her hand from Shi Yue’s grip, cautiously glancing at Ling Feng, and seeing no unusual expression on his face, she exhaled with relief, "He is the expert I invited to help our tribe. His name is Ling Feng!"
But Yu Rujiao’s earlier reaction was noticed by everyone, and many of them felt a pang in their hearts, indicating that Yu Rujiao’s relationship with this man was not ordinary.
Shi Yue’s face showed a trace of anger, "Helping us? What capability does he have to boast such?"
Shi Yue felt troubled in his heart. His affection for Yu Rujiao was no secret. They were childhood sweethearts, and he always thought Yu Rujiao was destined to be his woman. But as Yu Rujiao grew up, she left the tribe to become a Temple Envoy.
However, that didn’t mean Shi Yue had given up on Yu Rujiao. As the tribe’s top expert, he had always remained indifferent to other women while waiting for Yu Rujiao. But now, although he finally waited for Yu Rujiao to return, she actually brought back another man? Furthermore, she seemed to be putting a lot of effort into this man?
How could Shi Yue endure this?
Ling Feng, not being a fool, could naturally see Shi Yue’s feelings for Yu Rujiao. He chuckled, "I am just here by Yu Rujiao’s request, coming to assist in battle. After all, Yu Rujiao and I are friends, helping her comes from the duty of friendship!"
"Just friends?" Shi Yue asked suspiciously.
Yu Rujiao could not bear it any longer, "Brother Shi Yue, what do you mean by this? Ling Feng is the honored guest I invited. What kind of attitude is this?"
Shi Yue’s face showed a hint of discomfort. For this man, she actually scolded him. This aroused a surge of anger in Shi Yue’s heart, along with a bit of jealousy.
"Shi Yue, don’t be rude!" The Clan Leader said in a deep voice, "Tonight, I am hosting our guest. You go up the mountain and hunt some wild game!"
Shi Yue gave Ling Feng a sharp glare, then left reluctantly.
"Please, esteemed guest, don’t take offense!" The Clan Leader said with a hint of apology, "Shi Yue is a straightforward child, but his nature isn’t bad!"
Ling Feng smiled, "No problem, I won’t mind!"
"That’s good. This way, please, honored guest, let us fulfill our duty as hosts!"
