"Hand. Stretch it out."
Hearing Yang Yu's voice, the child did as he was told in panic, fearing that Yang Yu would do something to him, but Yang Yu just put the stone back into the child's hand.
"Many people only believe in the truth they believe in. But many things are not as simple as they seem. I mean, you may not understand."
After putting down the stone, Yang Yu stretched out his hand towards the boy's head. The boy subconsciously closed his eyes and shrank his body, but what awaited him was only a gentle touch.
"But if you don't try to understand, you will never get close to the truth."
After saying that, Yang Yu returned to Lotkar's back as if nothing had happened.
Everyone present was stunned, and their hostility towards Yang Yu suddenly dissipated a little.
When Kaibu saw this scene, he still kept a smile on his face, but closed his eyes slightly to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
They have been silent for seven years and are only coming back now. There must be something special about these people.
Kaibu recalled his conversations with Bishop Tujing.
Anyone who can escape from the Curse Cult is definitely not a good person. If you don't guard against them, your actions may be exposed before the Curse Cult takes action.
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, Kaibu will never allow the results of his hard work to be destroyed.
This time, no, since the last assassination, Kaibu has made up his mind to completely eliminate Lothkar.
Only in this way can he not be troubled by nightmares and sit safely on the position of patriarch.
For this, he must not be impatient.
It was because of his impatience last time that Lotkar escaped from his ambush and ran into the human residence to seek shelter from humans, making him unable to take action again.
Kaibu coughed, drawing all eyes to himself. He smiled and said to everyone:
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me.
Even though they are of a different race from us, it is also a kind of fate that they came from afar and met us.
My cousin has promised that they will not cause any trouble here.
I believe in my cousin. He was able to come back because he found a way to get rid of that evil force.
Maybe these people helped him find a way to control that power.
After all, compared to before, Cousin Lothcar is much weaker now.
He shouldn't pose any threat to the village, so there's no need to worry about what happened in the past repeating itself. As long as he gets out of control this time, we should be able to control him.
My cousin is also a member of the Silver Fang Clan, and he has things he cares about here too.
I hope everyone can understand his feelings and give them some tolerance. "
After hearing the words of the acting clan leader, the surrounding Silver Fang tribe members gradually let down their guard.
The acting patriarch in front of them was so reliable that he could even put aside past grudges and accept a traitor.
Such an outstanding person has yet to be recognized by the clan leader and must be re-elected before he can take the throne of clan leader. Everyone is speaking up for this capable and compassionate acting clan leader.
This idea didn't come about in a day or two.
The reason why these residents are so obedient is the result of Kaibu's hard work during the seven years when Lothkar was away.
Seeing that Lotkar still didn't speak and didn't express his opinion, Kaibu turned around and
"Brother Lotkar, it's been so long, let's go meet the old patriarch first, shall we? He must have a lot to say to you. After that, you will have plenty of time to reminisce with your daughter."
"Thank you very much."
Lotkar's tone remained calm as he followed Kaibu's steps forward, but before he had taken a few steps, a voice sounded behind Lotkar.
"Wait a moment!"
It was a weak but determined voice. A silver-eared girl appeared behind Lotkar. Although they had not seen each other for many years, the girl's voice was as mature as her mother's.
Lotkar immediately recognized who the person was, but he continued walking forward as if he hadn't heard it.
"I told you to wait a minute! Why didn't you stop? At that time, and now, I will never forget your back, you coward."
"This is really unexpected." Kaibu stopped walking. "It seems that our future plans have to be advanced. Haven't you always been concerned about your daughter? Now, she is right behind you. Why don't you ask her in person?"
Kaibu's face was full of smiles, however, Lotkar was not shaken at all by the voice behind him. He knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless if the matter was not resolved perfectly.
During the seven years that he disappeared, an unbridgeable chasm had developed between him and his daughter, and desperately trying to explain would only lead to confusion.
"No need, let's go according to the original plan and meet the old patriarch first."
Kaibu's smile disappeared. "Is this really okay? She is your daughter whom you have not seen for seven years. Don't you want to know how she has been doing in the past seven years?"
"Even without seeing it, I know that she has become a big girl. It is better for her to grow up safely."
Lotkar still answered calmly, but Yang Yu could feel that Lotkar's body was tense. He knew that Lotkar was trying his best to resist the urge to tell his daughter everything.
But Lotkar must have known that if he rushed up now and told his daughter everything, it would not only have no effect, but he might also be considered very pathetic by others.
Yang Yu sat sideways on Lotkar, looking at Meng Yue with a slightly dissatisfied look on his face.
"Miss, could you please stop disturbing us for a while
We came here with him not only to fulfill his wish, but also to uncover the truth of certain things.
Otherwise, we wouldn't bother coming to this godforsaken place.
We have already wasted a lot of time on the road, and now we don't have time for your father to catch up with you and listen to your complaints.
Is there anything that can't be discussed after we have resolved our issues
Lotkar, don't forget our purpose."
Lotkar lowered his head slightly, simply said "I'm sorry", and started walking again.
Meng Yue looked at Lotkar's tall back, tears welling up in her eyes.
"So that's what's going on. My father really doesn't care about me and my mother anymore. I should have known this earlier."
After saying that, Mengyue left without looking back, while Lothkar just continued walking forward in silence.
Yang Yu shook his head. At this point, all he could do was to make Meng Yue angry and leave. Only in this way could he lighten the burden on Lothkar a little.
The enemy this time is difficult to deal with. If you want to reveal the truth, you must lift up the thick mud covering it, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it is likely to be a thankless task.
But, he had to finish it.
