Chapter 242 Want to Join
Tiger and his cubs quickly became friends with Wolfwood. Wolfwood took a lot of food from the stall, found a table with his friends and the tiger cubs, and began to feast.
While everyone was eating and drinking, Xiao Langmu put his arm around Hu Duo, who was holding a skewer of grilled meat, and gave him a thumbs up like a little adult, saying, "Brother, you're really ruthless!"
Tiger was somewhat confused.
Wolfwood felt a pang of guilt when he thought about the mistakes he had made before. He briefly recounted how he had led his friends to skip training and not do their homework, emphasizing how miserable the little cubs were at the time.
"And last time when our priest brother went to the trading market, we tried to sneak out of the tribe to find them, but my brother Wolf Cloud caught us and gave us a good beating." Thinking of this, Little Wolf Wood's little face fell even more.
The priest brother mostly used passive-aggressive tactics on them, but Wolf Cloud really beat them, beating the little cubs until they screamed.
"Did you get beaten up too?"
Hearing his question, Little Wolfwood waved his hand dismissively, "Hey, as a cub, how can you not get beaten?"
Little Wolf Mu has a lot to say about this: "Adults, they're not angry after they've hit you. After they've been beaten, they might even feel sorry for you and give you something good to eat!"
"But we can't make the same mistake twice, or the priest brother will definitely be angry, and you won't be able to appease him!" Little Wolfwood is a precocious child, and Lin Baiyan knows he's smart. If he pretends to be stupid and makes the same mistake again, the priest brother will definitely ask the clan leader brother to punish them!
Hearing what Xiaolangmu said, Huduo thought about the priest brother of the Cangyan tribe he had just seen and looked at him with some suspicion. "Really?" He thought that Brother Baiyan was very gentle.
Little Wolfwood, with an air of "you don't understand," pulled him aside and started whispering to him.
The cubs were playing together harmoniously, and the adults changed the subject.
The tour group had returned to the activity hall, where food had been laid out. Lin Baiyan led them to their seats, saying, "You must all be tired after touring for so long. Let's eat something first."
Lin Baiyan clapped his hands, and Quan Ling and the others came in and poured a cup of Hundred Flower Tea for everyone present.
Hu Xia took a sip and was pleasantly surprised by the floral fragrance. "What kind of flower is this? It smells so good!"
Lin Baiyan smiled and said, "This is jasmine tea, with some honey and wampee juice added."
"If you like, I can pack some for you in a bit. Just boil some water and soak it in it."
Foxy Xia smiled and replied, "Little Flame, then I won't be polite."
Hearing that title again, Lin Baiyan had learned to respond with a smile, becoming immune to it.
The food on the table was no different from that in the central square, except that it was served on ceramic dishes.
That's right, it's a ceramic dish.
Lin Baiyan carefully observed the expressions of the two clan leaders.
He admitted that he was testing the waters. Pottery had become an essential tool for every household in the Cangyan tribe, and he couldn't keep being so cautious and afraid to reveal it to the public.
When the orcs from both races frequently visit the Azure Flame Tribe to learn house-building techniques, they will see even more pottery.
Pottery is precious, and money has always been a powerful motivator. The tigers of the Silver Tiger Clan are alright, but this is the first time Lin Baiyan has dealt with the chieftain and the old priest of the Silver Fox Clan. Even with Fox Ice, Lin Baiyan cannot be completely at ease.
Fox Ice doesn't represent their entire tribe, and Lin Baiyan can't possibly gamble all his people on this one possibility.
He had already decided that if the two members of the Silver Fox Clan showed even the slightest unusual expression, he would say that the pottery was obtained from the trading market.
And then he never associated with their tribe again.
but.
Hu Zhen looked somewhat shocked, but it was just simple surprise. Hu Xia, on the other hand, remained very calm, as if the dish in front of him was not a precious ceramic plate, but rather he was simply savoring the food on it.
"Little Flame, your potato and meat stew is delicious. Even at my age, I can still chew it." Fox Xia smiled and glanced at Lin Baiyan, as if she could see right through him.
Faced with Hu Xia's clear and bright eyes, Lin Baiyan felt a little embarrassed, as if he had been judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.
A smile appeared on Hu Bingqing's cold face. "Teacher doesn't know, does he? Bai Yan's food is the most delicious."
“When we were on our journey, we hoped every day that Bai Yan would be in a good mood and take pity on us and cook us a meal,” he said jokingly.
"Oh, really?" Foxy Xia became interested.
At this moment, Hu Kuo chimed in, "That's right, I remember Bai Yan brought us some fish balls before, they tasted amazing."
The old priest was also quite old; the fish balls were boneless and soft, perfect for an elderly orc like him.
Hearing their praise, Lin Baiyan's fair face flushed slightly.
Rabbit Forest was even more proud, saying, "Bai Yan is amazing. It's thanks to him leading us that the tribe has been able to survive."
Seeing that the meal was about to turn into a bragging session, Lin Baiyan quickly stopped them, "By the way, what have you thought about building the house? Are you coming here to learn, or should we go to your territory to help you?"
When this matter was brought up, everyone's expressions immediately became serious.
Fox Zhen looked at the young priest in front of him with a complicated expression. "Priestess White Flame, are you really willing to teach us your house-building skills?"
Lin Baiyan nodded seriously, "That's right."
This was his decision after careful consideration. The Silver Tiger Clan was frank and honest, and the Silver Fox Clan was willing to come to their rescue, even though they had only known each other for a short time, and teach them their skills.
Moreover, he also had his own selfish motives. The Cangyan tribe was too conspicuous, and these houses and city walls that had been erected would become targets for other tribes.
Their tribe is too weak to withstand these blows, but it would be different if the Silver Fox and Silver Tiger tribes also built houses. Besides, having one or two friendly tribes would be a good thing for them.
Hearing Lin Baiyan say this, Hu Zhen stroked his beard without saying anything, but just took a deep breath.
Hu Bing already knew Lin Baiyan's answer, and now, looking at his teacher, he felt completely relieved.
After a moment of silence, Hu Xia suddenly spoke up, "In that case, the Silver Fox Clan also has a request."
Lin Baiyan quickly said, "Please speak."
Fox Xia stood up, leaning on her cane, and walked up to Lin Baiyan. Fox Bing and Fox Zhen followed closely behind. The three orcs looked at Lin Baiyan with serious expressions.
She handed her cane to Hu Bing beside her, then crossed her arms in front of her chest and bowed to Lin Baiyan, saying devoutly and solemnly, "The Silver Fox Clan hopes to merge into the Azure Flame Tribe and become one of its members."
