Inside the forest, the few men's faces were grey. They didn't, or rather, they didn't dare to.
Hun Yue, however, appeared unwilling. To her, this was a small matter. Why should he be grounded for 20 years?
Therefore, she said coldly, "I do not agree!"
"You have to agree even if you don't want to!"
Hun Jin was overbearing. Though his heart ached, he had to be strict.
The son of a witch could not be defiled. Not even him, let alone his own flesh and blood.
"Why? I didn't hurt him. Even if I did, I can't be grounded for 20 years! "
Hun Yue argued. However, her face revealed some awkwardness.
She was the one who picked a fight, yet she was the one being suppressed. Who wouldn't feel awkward? "Then let me tell you. Attacking Young Master Ling, even if you speak disrespectfully, you will be punished!"
Hun Jin's face was green, "Stop wasting my time. 20 years. Not one breath less!"
"I will not agree to this. You are being unreasonable. I am going to find my grandfather!"
Hun Yue stomped her feet in anger. She, who has been dominant and stubborn since the beginning, now revealed a rare expression of being wronged.
Hearing what she said, Hun Jin laughed out of anger.
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled.
Hun Yue was Hun Jin's daughter. Hun Jin was the Elder in beast hide's son. In other words, her grandfather was the Elder in beast hide.
If this was anyone else, then perhaps it would be useful. But the Elder in beast hide would double the punishment. No matter how much he loved Hun Yue, he wouldn't be the slightest bit biased.
Therefore, Ling Xian naturally found this to be funny.
"What are you laughing at?" Hun Yue's face was frosty, "Grandpa will get justice for me."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's smile deepened. He wasn't mocking them, he simply found this funny.
"Aye, it was my fault for not teaching my son properly." Hun Jin sighed, a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. It's just a joke. The way I see it, let's just forget about it." Ling Xian brandished his hand, not wanting to pursue this any further.
After all, he wasn't losing anything.
"That won't do. A country has its laws and a family has its own rules."
Hun Jin shook his head, "I know you have a big heart and don't mind this. But rules are rules. Even I cannot break them."
"Fine, then I won't get involved."
Ling Xian smiled, knowing that the Soul's Will was right. If he set a precedent, then where would his dignity as the Ancestor's son go?
Although he had never cared about this identity, nor did he care about the glory and nobility that came with it, those who were loyal to their faith did. Therefore, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
"Hun Yue, you don't have to say anymore. No matter who you find, your punishment will not change."
Hun Jin hardened his heart and said, "Moreover, let me tell you this, if you look for your grandfather, the punishment will definitely be even heavier."
"I don't believe it!"
Hun Yue's face was frosty. She glared at Ling Xian with too many complicated emotions. There was shock, unwillingness, and doubt.
She really couldn't figure out where Ling Xian came from for Hun Jin to think so highly of him.
"Believe it or not, you can leave now."
Hun Jin's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "You can go anywhere in the Soul Void Tribe. However, there is one thing that you absolutely cannot leave."
"Humph."
Hun Yue coldly hissed. Though she was furious, she knew that Hun Jin's heart was set. Therefore, she didn't argue anymore. However, she had made up her mind that she will ask her grandfather to uphold justice for her.
"Go." Hun Jin softly sighed.
Hearing this, Hun Yue glared at Ling Xian. Then, she left this place with the other men.
"I am truly sorry. My daughter is ignorant. Please forgive her." Hun Jin paid his respect and apologized.
"It's okay. I won't take it to heart. Do not worry, Leader." Ling Xian brandished his hand with a smile.
Hearing this, Hun Jin completely stopped worrying, "Please also do not worry. I will teach her a lesson and I will not let her cause you trouble. The others will do the same."
"That's good."
Ling Xian softly smiled. He didn't want to be entangled with trouble. Though he wasn't afraid, it would be a waste of time.
Then, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Right, have the top tribes made any moves against me?"
"Not yet."
Hun Jin shook his head, "Based on the reports, the top tribes are very calm. It's as if they don't know about the witch's son."
Hearing this, Ling Xian didn't stop worrying. Instead, he frowned.
Calmness is usually the sign before a storm. Especially when one has already made their stance clear, the calmer they are, the more wrong they are.
"The top tribes have made it clear that they don't want me to live. Yet they are acting so calm right now. This is very abnormal." Ling Xian frowned.
"Perhaps they have been stunned by my father. Plus, the Empty Soul Tribe is not a force to be trifled with." Hun Jin said with a smile. His face revealed some arrogance.
The Empty Soul Tribe was one of the most powerful forces in the Sorcerer Region. They had four seventh leveled powerhouses. Naturally, he was very proud.
"That's a possibility. But we still have to pay close attention. I have a feeling that things won't end so easily." Ling Xian's expression was serious as he said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Hun Jin retracted his arrogance and nodded, "Do not worry, the scouts I sent are all elite warriors. They will definitely pay close attention and send back the most accurate information."
"Not only do we have to watch over those few tribes, we have to pay close attention to the other tribes as well. After all, my identity poses a threat to most tribes. "Ling Xian softly sighed.
At first, he didn't really understand the meaning behind the title of the witch's son. But now, he knew very well that not only did it represent unparalleled glory, it also represented the right to compete for the Sorcerer Region.
To the tribes that didn't want to listen to him, this was without a doubt, a huge threat. Even if he didn't have such intentions, it was like a sharp knife hanging over those tribes' heads.
To put it bluntly, as long as Ling Xian doesn't die, those top forces cannot rest easy. Therefore, he naturally had to treat this with caution.
"That's true. Countless years have passed and far too many tribes have betrayed the Witch Ancestor."
At the mention of this, Hun Jin revealed a look of anger.
"That's human nature." Ling Xian brandished his hand, "You only need to pay close attention."
"Do not worry, I will pay close attention. If anything happens, the Empty Soul Tribe will know right away." Hun Jin nodded and his voice was powerful.
This made Ling Xian stop worrying and he smiled, "Then I will thank you for your hard work."
"You are being too polite. This is the Empty Soul Tribe's responsibility." Hun Jin smiled.
"Then I will bid my farewells. If anything happens, please inform me right away." Ling Xian paid his respect to Hun Jin and turned to leave.
Then, his days calmed down. Other than training, he studied the totem. His days were very relaxing.
Sadly, the days of leisure are always short lived.
Two years later, Hun Jin visited with two pieces of news. One was bad news, the other was even worse.
