Chapter 821, The Telling
Translator: Silavin
Night descended, and the Flame Dragon Tribe began to be shrouded in darkness.
However, the twinkling starlight in the sky and the bright moonlight were brilliant.
On this tranquil evening, it felt exceptionally peaceful, and the Flame Dragon Tribe was particularly lively tonight.
Everyone had safely weathered another danger, and all the Warriors began celebrating around the bonfires.
Beside the large pile of bonfires in the great square, numerous fragrant roasted beasts were being grilled all around, and waves of enticing aromas wafted out, truly attracting everyone’s attention.
Everyone rarely had the opportunity to enjoy roasted meat in such circumstances, so tonight’s situation attracted many people.
Not only were Warriors dancing around those bonfires, but many ordinary people from the Tribe also joined in the dancing.
At the same time, everyone was trying to hold back the saliva secreting in their mouths. The aroma of the roasted meat was simply too fragrant.
Of course, the Tribe’s patrol work continued as usual; they absolutely could not be careless at this time.
However, they would also rotate shifts more often to replace them, because everyone wanted to participate in this bonfire evening gathering.
*Boom boom boom…*
The sound of snakeskin drums also rang out, adding colour and liveliness to this bustling bonfire evening gathering.
The Warriors also began to sing loudly; all of this music was taught to everyone by Lu Zi.
The Tribe’s people were excited to listen. Even more so, they were willing to learn, because they found it genuinely fascinating.
Ordinarily in the Tribe, they had no music at all; at most they would just randomly howl a couple of times.
Su Bai stood before the floor-to-ceiling window watching all this liveliness, the corners of his mouth slowly curving upwards.
He was also holding a cup of tea that had been steeping for a while, saying softly. “This scene is still quite joyful.”
“Shaman, everyone is happy because we defeated the Dark Scorpion Tribe’s people. Now, the Tribe is safe.” Yan Hua also stood by the window.
If it had been before, Yan Hua would have immediately rushed down to join in this excitement. However, after following Su Bai, she gradually lost interest in such activities.
But if Su Bai were willing to go down with her, it might be a different matter entirely.
Yan Hua now preferred to stay in the Yong’an Building accompanying the Shaman rather than go down to join the excitement, feeling that watching the liveliness below from before the floor-to-ceiling window was also a good choice.
“This is also part of my pride. I want the Tribe’s people to live in peace. This is my responsibility.” Su Bai said indifferently. He felt that since he had taken over this Tribe from the Old Shaman, he had an obligation to ensure the Tribe’s people could live safely.
“Shaman, are we really going to let Ga enter our Tribe?” Sha Lan suddenly asked. Sha Lan was still wary. After all, looking at the opponent’s strength, she alone was a threat. If she truly harboured some malicious intentions in her heart, she might find an opportunity to reveal them later.
“This is also why I want to call her over to ask. We cannot judge anyone solely by their appearance.” Su Bai spoke particularly gently.
He had never been someone who judged people by their appearance; to understand a person, one must see into their heart.
Su Bai had felt from the beginning that this young woman was not simple, so he still wanted to properly question her. He had already sent Yan Jiao to bring her over just now; she would arrive shortly.
“Shaman, but keeping her in our Tribe is still a dangerous matter.” Yan Hua also chimed in.
Yan Hua was very worried that the opponent might be some kind of expert assassin who would secretly infiltrate the Yong’an Building to carry out an assassination or something similar.
“I know what you’re worried about. The problems you’re concerned about, I’ve already considered, so just wait and see how she answers.” Su Bai said indifferently.
How could he not know the problems they were worried about? These problems concerned him as well.
“Shaman, if she really wants to stay, we must assign people to watch over her properly.” Sha Lan flicked her cat tail.
“En, everything will become clear after she arrives and we’ve finished questioning her.” Su Bai nodded.
*Step step step…*
Yan Jiao and Sha Hong brought Ga to the second floor, the two watching the latter closely.
“Shaman, we’ve already brought her over.” Yan Jiao said.
Su Bai leisurely walked over to his seat and sat down, casually placing that cup of cold tea beside the table.
He sized her up and asked. “Why at this time did you so directly betray your Tribe?”
This point was somewhat puzzling to Su Bai. Clearly he hadn’t asked anything yet, but she had already revealed everything.
Logically, the normal procedure should involve using punishment to make the opponent speak, or using some threatening words to make the opponent talk, but she was completely the opposite.
It was as if these words were something she urgently wanted to say; it was precisely because of this that she caught Su Bai’s attention.
“Nothing much, I simply want that Tribe to disappear.” Ga spoke particularly dismissively.
It was as if that Tribe wasn’t the Tribe she belonged to, as if she were a slave detesting that Tribe.
“We caused your mission to fail, we killed your Younger Brother. Why would you instead help us?” Su Bai asked.
This point also made him somewhat curious; clearly her hatred target should be the Flame Dragon Tribe.
“Although I also have hatred towards you all, the Tribe that should truly disappear is the Dark Scorpion Tribe.” When Ga said this, her eyes finally showed killing intent.
This was the only change in her expression from morning until now, and this change was finally one of hatred.
“May I ask why?” Su Bai began to understand something.
Something must have happened at the Dark Scorpion Tribe, which was why the scorpion girl’s emotions fluctuated so dramatically.
“This Tribe ruined my entire life. If possible, I would naturally choose to make them disappear, because I know you have this capability.” Ga’s eyes became resolute once more.
When she was taken down to the dungeon to be confined, she was shocked to see everything in the Flame Dragon Tribe.
Warriors who looked exceptionally confident, those flat and spacious stone roads, and the tall stone houses one after another. There were also the endless streams of people within the Tribe. All of this left the scorpion girl utterly amazed.
Suddenly recalling those unknown weapons in the forest made her believe this even more firmly.
Moreover, Ga had heard Su Bai’s words; that was, asking whether she was willing to become a person of the Flame Dragon Tribe.
So she also began thinking that if the Flame Dragon Tribe could truly help, perhaps becoming a part of them wouldn’t be so bad.
“Oh? Tell me about it.” Su Bai straightened his posture.
Ga struggled for quite a while, took a deep breath, and began speaking. “The Dark Scorpion Tribe…”
The scorpion girl began to recount the sequence of events.
