Chief Xie was furious when she thought about how she had made a promise to Ruan Zeqiu, but in just a few days when she was missing from the tribe, the elders turned around and made the tribe their home ground; they were the ones calling the shots! Did they even treat her as the leader of the tribe?
Master Xie slapped his thigh and sobbed. "Do you think that I did not fight with them? Suicheng and I did everything we could have to stop them from causing trouble. But it seemed like Shao Xia has left us a big gift." He gritted his teeth when he spoke of that woman. "That woman taught the elders that they were the family members of those who have given their lives for the tribe, which gave them an honourable position. If they were to complain to the royal family, then everyone in the tribe would be in for a tough time."
