Chapter 610 : The Lord’s Whereabouts
Even if the mix-up were to be discovered later on, she wouldn’t have anything to do with it. The blame lay on Uncle Tian and his presumptions.
Yao Tang’s gaze followed the direction that Uncle Tian was pointing, and her lips slowly curled upward.
He tensed up after seeing that, eager to pry some information based on the changes in her expression.
As per the tribe’s rules, these patterns were carved into the members’ minds since childhood. Even a newborn kid would recognize them.
They represented their great and mighty Lord, after all.
Uncle Tian was banking on this fact when he pointed the necklace out toYao Tang. Even if she turned out to be a traitor in the end, he still wanted to verify her background.
“Of course, I recognize it,” Yao Tangsaid.
As a matter of fact, in the small cottage in the valley where she grew up, there was a massive pile of these bracelets just sitting in the corner.
Yao Tang remembered that when she had first come toCity AwithElder GuanandPrincipal Kong, she had accidentally lost a bracelet.
Now that she thought about it, she had dropped it not too far from here.
Uncle Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
Since they were part of the same tribe, perhaps there was hope for them to make peace despite everything that had happened so far.
Much to his dismay, Yao Tangdisappointed him yet again.
“So what if I do, then?” she asked.
Uncle Tian’s face reddened with fury.
He couldn’t fathom the depth of this girl’s insolence! She was blatantly disrespecting the Lord’s sigil and everything it stood for!
Just which clan was she from? How could she be this audacious?

It was unthinkable!
“The Lord is not dead yet. When she comes back, she will definitely restore the glory of the tribe, and we shall rise once more. When that day comes, all of you traitors will be punished accordingly!”
Uncle Tian appeared to be fiercely loyal to this Lord of his.
But Yao Tangwas unfazed, and her smile never left her face. “Does that mean that you know where your Lord is?”
Uncle Tian’s lips pressed into a thin line. He blinked several times, not knowing what to say.
If they knew where their Lord was, then they wouldn’t have been searching for her high and low. They wouldn’t have been forced to go into hiding in the first place.
More than 20 years had already passed.
Even he wasn’t sure that their Lord was still alive.
It was simply out of their selfish desires that they refused to acknowledge the possibility of her death.
Now that they had found their Lord’s descendant, they were all the more determined to persevere in their search.
Yao Tang’s face darkened.
These people were quick to cause a ruckus over their leader when they didn’t even have a clue about her whereabouts. They were nothing more than blind fools at this point.
“I’m not falling for your tricks,” Uncle Tiandeclared passionately. “There’s nothing you can do to make me abandon the Lord. Even if I spend my entire life searching for her, I will never regret it.
“You traitors are going to pay the price for betraying the tribe. Just you wait!”
Grandma Xu was visibly seething as she pointed a trembling finger atYao Tang. “I never thought you were this kind of person! Traitor!”
“From the looks of it, you must have received the Lord’s favor,” Uncle Tianadded. “You wouldn’t have been able to crack the poison otherwise. What an ungrateful wretch you are.”
From the sidelines, Qin Jingtook a deep breath and looked at the man with sympathy.
How did this person become the commander of a highly-skilled team? He couldn’t even tell that his opponent was toying with him.
If he had been faced with someone more ruthless than Yao Tang, he would certainly have met his demise a long time ago.
But Qin Jinghad to admit thatYao Tang’s reactions baffled her, too.
Yao Tang had never been the type to care about the past, but here she was, employing devious methods to look into this tribe or whatever.
Qin Jing eyed her sideways and found thatYao Tangwas deep in thought.
There was a lull in the air before she pulled herself together.
She looked back at Uncle Tianwith that same playful smile on her lips. “You keep saying that you will do anything for your Lord, but you can’t even find a single trace of her?”
Uncle Tian almost exploded at that.
“What gives you the right to say something like that? You don’t know anything, young lady! The Lord’s location is not something to be taken lightly!”
