Wulian Xianzun

Chapter 16 Patriarch
A faint sentence seemed to have an irresistible force. Of course, Xiao Yuan had no intention of refusing, and sat quietly at the small table.

After the man glanced at Xiao Yuan, a trace of surprise flickered in his simple and unremarkable eyes.

"My name is Pan Jiu. I'm the patriarch of the Southern Barbarian tribe. Young man, what about you? Where are you from?" Pan Jiu introduced himself, and then asked Xiao Yuan back. It didn't look like a question, but more like a joke!Not a mocking banter, but like a banter between best friends!
"The kid's name is Xiao Yuan, from Langye County of Fengyan Kingdom, I met the patriarch here!" Xiao Yuan cupped his fists to salute the man, and said softly.

Originally, Pan Jiu's joking expression froze because of Xiao Yuan's words, and was replaced by a touch of surprise.
"Oh! Then how did you get here?" Pan Jiu asked again, then gently pushed Yanxue away, pinching his fingers to calculate.

They Nanman have always been hidden from the world, and there are almost no people in the world who know their location, and at most they have heard some rumors about them.

Therefore, he was very curious about Xiao Yuan being able to come to them. Even if Yanxue brought him to the clan, how could he meet Yanxue?

There is a hundred miles around their clan, but with the formation he set up, ordinary people can't get close to it.

Now Xiao Yuan recounted what happened to him, of course omitting the two important matters of Guiyuan Divine Art and Taishang Sword Dao.

When Xiao Yuan finished speaking, Pan Jiu also finished his calculations, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, he shook his head immediately, and only said two words: "Injustice...!"

"Is there something wrong?" Seeing Pan Jiu say those two words, Xiao Yuan frowned and couldn't help asking.

However, Pan Jiu didn't answer, and the whole wooden house suddenly became quiet. After a long time, Pan Jiu said slowly: "Young man, remember my words, you are too sharp, and heaven is jealous of talents!"

"Don't go anywhere for the time being, just stay in our tribe, and plan slowly if you have any plans in the future!" As if seeing through Xiao Yuan's thoughts, Pan Jiu's tone became irresistible.

But Xiao Yuan didn't show any anger, instead he accepted it sincerely, because he felt from the bottom of his heart that the man in front of him was thinking of himself.

And now he really has nowhere to go, it would be great to find a place to calm down and practice!

"In that case, thank you patriarch!" Xiao Yuan cupped his hands in thanks.

"Yanxue, you can arrange his daily life!" Pan Jiu waved at Xiao Yuan casually, indicating that there is no need to be formal, and then instructed Yanxue.

"Okay Uncle, then I'll go first!" Yanxue acted coquettishly to Pan Jiu again, then pulled Xiao Yuan up and walked out..
I passed through many tents along the way, still attracting many strange eyes, until I came to a smaller tent, Yanxue stopped
Walking into the tent, there is only a simple bed inside, some simple necessities for life, nothing else.

"You live here?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled. Yanxue is the patriarch's niece. It stands to reason that she should have a noble status and a detached status. Although the place where she lives is not like a royal palace, at least it shouldn't be so shabby!
"That's right!" As if seeing the doubts in Xiao Yuan's heart, Yanxue explained: "Actually, I was picked up by the patriarch!"

Speaking of this, Yanxue's expression became gloomy, she was picked up by Pan Jiu from outside 20 years ago, because she was weak and sick since she was a child, if Pan Jiu hadn't expended a lot of energy before, she might have died already.

Later, five years ago, because Yanxue brought a huge disaster to the tribe, the tribe began to exclude her, and Pan Jiu's injury was caused by that disaster.
That's why Yanxue often went out to look for medicines, in order to make up for the guilt she felt towards Pan Jiu, even though she knew that those ordinary herbs had no effect on Pan Jiu's injuries
As for the disaster, it was because Yanxue belonged to another race, the Taikoo Saddle Race. This race is rich in archers, and they are spiritual archers. There are prophets in their clan, and they have a premonition that Yanxue will bring blood to their race. It was a big disaster, so Yanxue, who was only three months old, must be killed. However, their race is also a humane race, so they can't do anything, so they can only throw Yanxue in the wilderness.

It happened to be picked up by Pan Jiu who was passing by, but 15 years later, Yanxue has grown up, and she has a charming aura, which has added a lot of vitality to the tribe.

But when the whole tribe was singing and laughing for Yanxue, the people of the Ma'an tribe knew that Yanxue was not dead, and brought the tribe to beg for Yanxue, and wanted to kill Yanxue, so they would give this to them Those who bring disaster to the tribe beheaded!

In order to save Yanxue, Pan Jiu fought with the Ma'an tribe and repelled the Ma'an tribe, but he also suffered serious injuries, and the entire tribe suffered heavy losses!
Until now, Pan Jiu's injury has not completely healed, so the tribe that was once extremely friendly to Yanxue has discriminated against her, and has begun to stay away from her and isolate her. Even if it is not for the face of the patriarch, Yanxue I'm afraid he has been kicked out of the tribe long ago.

The people of the tribe also chose to believe the prophecy of the Saddle tribe, that this woman would bring disaster to the tribe.

"It's all my fault! All of this is my fault!" Yanxue was talking, she couldn't even cry, her tears wet the ground, making her back look so bleak.

This made Xiao Yuan not know what to do for a while, what he was most afraid of was a woman crying, and he didn't know how to comfort her at all.
But Xiao Yuan also knew what he should do, so he stepped forward and hugged the other party's shoulders forcefully: "Yanxue, this is not your fault!"

"Don't be sad, this should be said to be your fate, you should enjoy the mystery of it, the heaven will send a great mission to you, you must first work hard on your mind, your muscles and bones, and starve your body!" Xiao Yuan comforted road.

Maybe because she was tired from crying, or because she felt that Xiao Yuan's words made sense, Yanxue just lay her head on Xiao Yuan's shoulder in a daze, and fell asleep slowly.

Even Xiao Yuan who was at the side was affected by Yanxue's drowsiness and also fell asleep.

The two hugged each other and slept together. After an unknown amount of time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, waking them up.

Both of them were young and had never experienced such a thing. Although they just hugged each other and slept and nothing happened, it still made them blush.

"It's them who are back! Let's go and have a look!" Yanxue said happily, breaking the embarrassing situation between the two.

Yanxue took Xiao Yuan's hand and quickly ran out of the tent.
At this time, the gate of the tribe was already full of people, old and young, as if they were welcoming something, but these old and young were all tall and strong, and Yanxue and Xiao Yuan were like children's bodies , very inconspicuous.

Not long after, dozens of stronger men walked out of the jungle in the distance, each of them looked like a huge rhinoceros, carrying different prey on their backs...
And the clansmen who had gathered here for a long time all went up one after another, each welcoming their own warriors, the joy on that face, the stronger the man's family, the happier it was.

Seeing such a scene, Yanxue's expression became gloomy again. Originally, these people were all her family members and her favorite people. These people were simple and innocent, without intrigue or conspiracy
But now, she has been isolated by them and can no longer integrate into this big family.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yuan grabbed his hand and woke her up from the gloom!

"Don't worry, from now on you are no longer alone!" Xiao Yuan said lightly, the voice seemed to be heard only by her.

I saw that Yanxue's eyes were filled with gratitude and even a trace of indescribable emotion planted a seed in her heart.
