Soon, the group arrived at the previous cave.
After entering the cave, Linlong was stunned because he found that the cave inside had been sealed by gravel. Moreover, there were no traces of Runic Matrices left in the surroundings.
If it were not for the fact that the gravel marks were obviously new, Linlong would have suspected that he had been dreaming.
It was obvious that the reason this place was sealed was related to the Runic Matrices that had always existed here.
However, the Runic Matrices had disappeared. No matter how capable Linlong was, he could only sigh helplessly.
It seemed that what Ninth Uncle had said previously was true. The Runic Matrices here would only appear once every three years.
Three years was enough for many things to happen in the Valley of Beasts. However, since things had come to this, Linlong could only give up on the idea of directly returning to the Valley of Beasts.
Three years. It seemed that he could only wait for three years. Linlong thought to himself.
Immediately, the group returned to the tribe.
After spending six hours, they returned to the tribe without any mishap.
It was said to be without mishaps because a warrior was almost torn in half by a ferocious beast. Fortunately, Linlong happened to be standing next to him and pulled him away in time. Otherwise, the warrior would have died.
Just like that, Linlong stayed in the Liu Family.
In the blink of an eye, five or six days had passed. During this period, Liu Ruolan would come to see him every day. Moreover, every time she came, she would bring some food.
The food here was much more abundant than in the Valley of Beasts. There were many vegetarian dishes, unlike the Valley of Beasts where meat was the main food.
Apart from Liu Ruolan, the young man who was saved by Linlong and was extremely grateful to Linlong would also come to visit Linlong.
Coming to such a strange place, it was good to make more friends. Moreover, the other party did not have any ill intentions. Therefore, when the other party came, Linlong did not have the intention to chase him away.
One morning, there was a knock on Linlong's door.
When he opened the door, it was not Liu Ruolan, nor was it the young man named Liu Zong whom he had saved. Instead, it was a young man in his twenties. Linlong naturally had an impression of this young man. This was because he was the young man who stood next to Liu Ruolan's mother, Wang Qin, when Linlong had first entered the tribe.
At this moment, because there was no one else around, the hostility in his eyes was even more obvious. Apart from that, he also had an arrogant look on his face.
These days, Linlong had also gained some understanding of this person. He knew that he was the adopted son of the Liu family's patriarch. His name was Guo Xiuqi, and he had a certain talent in runic weapons. At a young age, he was already the number one person in the Liu family's younger generation.
Because of this, he was authorized by the clan leader, Liu Tianying, to lead the young warriors of the Liu Family.
Of course, this was not something that Linlong had intentionally asked. It was something that Liu Ruolan had mentioned while chatting with him. After all, with Guo Xiuqi's status and ability in the Liu Clan, if Liu Ruolan did not mention it, he would not know who else.
"What's the matter, Brother Guo?" Linlong asked expressionlessly.
Since the other party was hostile, he naturally wouldn't welcome him with a smile.
"Nothing, I just want to tell you to stay away from Ruolan, otherwise I don't mind knocking out your teeth!" Guo Xiuqi's face looked a little ferocious as he said this.
"Oh, could it be that Brother Guo is interested in Miss Ruolan?" Linlong smiled faintly.
The reason why he said this was because according to his observation, Liu Ruolan's relationship with Guo Xiuqi was ordinary. According to the customs of ordinary tribes, the elders in the tribe should matchmake Liu Ruolan and Guo Xiuqi. However, no one stopped Liu Ruolan when she came to look for Guo Xiuqi. This meant that the elders in the tribe had no such intention, or perhaps they had in the past, but it eventually fell through because of something.
"It's none of your business whether I'm interested or not. I just want to tell you to stay away from Ruolan. If you don't know your place, then I don't mind embarrassing you in the future." With that, Guo Xiuqi immediately turned around and left.
His expression was a little ugly, as if Linlong had poked at his sore spot.
Liu Zong followed Guo Xiuqi into the room as soon as he left. He asked curiously, "Linlong, why did Guo Xiuqi look for you?"
After interacting with Liu Zong for the past few days, Linlong knew that many people in the Liu Clan did not like Guo Xiuqi because he was too arrogant. If it was not for his overwhelming strength and the fact that he was the adopted son of the Clan Leader, they would have suggested to dismiss Guo Xiuqi long ago.
"It's nothing. He just wants me to have less contact with Miss Ruolan," Linlong said with a smile.
"This guy is actually jealous to such an extent. I really admire him," Liu Zong could not help but say after hearing what Guo Xiuqi said.
"Why?"
"Because the Clan Leader has already told Guo Xiuqi that he will not marry his daughter to him," Liu Zong said.
"Is that true?" Linlong was a little surprised.
"Of course. There were a few elders in the clan at that time. It's also because of this that I said that Guo Xiuqi is too jealous. He doesn't want others to get what he can't get, "Liu Zong said with a look of disdain.
"But isn't Guo Xiuqi quite strong? Why did the Clan Leader say that?" Linlong was a little confused.
"Well, I heard that the Clan Leader wants to marry Miss Ruolan to the Young Master of the Lu Clan, Lu Yangyu. That's why he said that to Guo Xiuqi to make him give up," Liu Zong said.
Linlong felt relieved after hearing Liu Zong's words. It was human nature for two families to be well-matched.
"However, this is only a guess because none of the elders said such a thing. Moreover, I heard that Lu Yangyu doesn't like Miss Ruolan, but someone else," Liu Zong said.
"Are concubines not allowed?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"Concubines?" Liu Zong shook his head. "There are more men than women in the tribe. Therefore, for the sake of the tribe's reproduction and development, the elders do not allow a man to have more than one wife."
"Oh." Linlong nodded.
Come to think of it, for the sake of that possibility, the Liu Clan Leader directly cut off Guo Xiuqi's thoughts. If that was the case, Guo Xiuqi was a pitiful person.
Although he was pitiful, he would not be polite when the spearhead was pointed at him, Linlong.
"But Linlong …" Liu Zong suddenly stuttered.
"If you have something to say, say it."
"I advise you to stay away from Miss Ruolan. After all … the Clan Leader and Lu Yangyu are not people you can afford to offend …" Liu Zong said truthfully.
"Oh, is this Lu Yangyu very powerful?" Linlong smiled indifferently and asked as if he did not take it to heart.
"This Lu Yangyu is not just powerful. He can be said to be the number one person among the younger generation. Because of this, Guo Xiuqi did not even dare to fart when he heard that the Clan Leader wanted to marry Miss Ruolan to Lu Yangyu. Apart from that, Lu Yangyu is also an amazingly talented Rune Master. I heard that he has already taken over the mantle of several Rune Masters in the tribe. The future of the tribe depends on him, "Liu Zong said.
"Oh." Linlong nodded. He seemed a little surprised.
