The Legend of Min Hong

Chapter 499: Sleeping With One Eye Open

"Welcome to our humble village, venerable ladies and gentlemen… This is the village of Sang; the home of the Sang Tribe…"

The short round man walked over with broad smiles as he welcomed Min Hong's group over;

"Greetings Tribe Leader, Lady and Elders…"

Elder Fu responded with a slight bow to the group in front of him whilst the rest of the group also followed suit, except Min Hong who had a forced smile etched on his face;

Something about this village and these men is irking him, and he didn't know why this was happening...

Elder Fu spoke with the man and exchanged pleasantries whilst they introduced themselves to one another…

Just like the group had suspected, the short round man was indeed the Tribe leader, the lady beside him was his wife, and they live the 3 story mansion right at the center of the entire structure…

Of the four middle aged men standing on either side of him, he introduce two of them as the tribe's Right and Left Grand Elder who were his advisors...

Then one of the other two was his diplomat whose job was to ensure that they maintained a relationship that was simply good enough to avoid invasion by the four Empires, whilst the last of the bunch was the one in charge of developing the tribe itself…

Elder Fu did as Min Hong had told him, and claimed to be the leader of the group whilst he introduced the older ones like Gu Ming and Mao My as his assistants with them rest of the group being ordinary members…

"It is great that you have come to help us, but it is pretty late now, so Elder Ken would provide hospitality for you all whilst we will meet at the hall tomorrow to discuss how to proceed and find a solution with your help…"

The tribe leader added as one of the middle aged men standing to his left stepped forward and bowed slightly;

"If you will please follow me…"

"Sorry for the troubles…"

Elder Fu clasped his hands towards Elder Ken who was a slender built middle aged man with almost feminine features and the appearance of someone in their late thirties, but obviously, such a person could as well be between 60 – 80 years of age, depending on their cultivation…

It was after they saw where they were going that they realized that the entire tribe was actually bigger than they had anticipated…

All the buildings they saw on the way to this mansion weren't the only ones within this tribe…

The group realized that when they got to the front of the gated mansion, the main road they came through actually split to the right and left making the entire road network look like a; T…

They were take through the left which meant they came to the see the back of the buildings they saw on their way back, and they were shocked to find out that behind these buildings were courtyards which were personalized to each of these buildings by a row of trees which stretched back down to the fence at the entrance of the tribe…

After this row of trees was a minor road, and after this minor road was another row of trees which caused the minor road to look like an avenue…

After this second row of trees was another set of two story buildings which also stretched deep towards the fence at the gate of the tribe...

Then behind this building was another courtyard, and after this courtyard, all that were left were open grasslands with several tall trees growing on them which could be used as a shed or picnic area…

Then the rest of the spacious area on this grasslands were paved with bricks, and Elder Ken explained that those bricked areas were for sparring and training whilst the entire grasslands were relaxation areas;

"We left all these lands empty so we can build more residences should our tribe continue to expand, but unfortunately, our populations kept decreasing instead, and thus, my dream of developing this place into a paradise looking tribe was dashed…" He explained;

"Each of these three story residences were created to house three households each, and they all contain a four bedrooms located at each edge of each floor, with a verandah at the front area, and the kitchen and dining area at the back..."

"Then right in the middle of each of these housed is a massive living room that can contain at least ten people without being cramped…"

"Except for the penthouse which is meant for a couple who would be in charge of the entire residence…"

"Then yes, it is way more spacious and luxurious than the other two below it…" Elder Ken explained;

"This is truly meticulous and intricate… This is intelligent work…"

Elder Fu commented honestly whilst the rest group also nodded as they kept looking everywhere in amazement…

This place thought was small, it was more urbanized that any Super Clan they had ever seen, including that of the Cui Super Clan which was visible from how the silk-pant princess kept looking everywhere like a countryside bumpkin…

"You all would be staying in here…"

Elder Ken showed them the first structure on the second row of buildings, and flicked his wrists before handing ten tags to Elder Fu who he felt would be able to assign the rooms appropriately since he seemed to be the leader…

"I will send some maid to bring you dinner, wine and some munchies…" He added;

"Tomorrow at dawn, I will also send someone to come fetch you all to the place where further discussions on how to help us would be made…" Elder Ken finished and walked back to the gated mansion;
