Chapter 251: The Other Side Of The Village Head.
In the Hunting Tiger Tribe, there was an elder with a dignified look and temperament of power; he looked imposing even without being angry while his status seemed high. Although he also did not wish the Mighty Bear Tribe to win, he also could not allow an outsider to challenge on behalf of the Ancient Spirit Village. That did not conform with the ancestor’s rule.
“That’s right, an outsider cannot challenge on behalf of the Ancient Spirit Village and cannot stay at this place for a long time.”
In the Mighty Bear Tribe, the oldest elder also spoke. He was a high elder of the Mighty Bear Tribe with a very high status. In terms of age, he was much older than Shangguan Cheng Ya.
Shangguan Cheng Ya’s gaze was tranquil as she swept her gaze past the two elders from the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe. Then she calmly stated, “I have already said that this young man is no longer an outsider.”
“Not an outsider…”
When the entire square heard this, they were secretly astonished. Suddenly, whisperings could be heard from all around.
Even the people from the Ancient Spirit Village were also incomparably confused as they did not know the meaning of the village head’s words.
“Yi Su, this young man has already acknowledged this old lady as his grandmother; hence he is my Shangguan Cheng Ya’s grandson. Thus, he is no longer an outsider.” Shangguan Cheng Ya replied.
“Grandson…”
The entire square was dumbfounded and abruptly in an uproar.
“This…”
“Haha, Yi Su is indeed already a person of our Ancient Spirit Village.”
The people of the Ancient Spirit Village were briefly stunned before someone laughed loudly and was incomparably happy.
Su Yi curved his lips in a smile after being slightly surprised and perplexed. He had already considered himself a member of the Ancient Spirit Village in his heart.
“Cheng Ya, this is a little too far-fetched!”
“This indeed does not conform with the rules!”
The dignified elder from the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the high elder from the Mighty Bear Tribe glanced at Shangguan Cheng Ya. Even though their gazes seemed a little fearful to Shangguan Cheng Ya, this indeed did not conform with the rules.
“How is this not conforming to the rules? Can it be that before I, Shangguan Cheng Ya, can acknowledge a grandson, I must seek your approvals?”
Shangguan Cheng Ya’s initially serene eyes abruptly and drastically shifted as she looked at the dignified elders and the High Elder of the Mighty Bear Tribe with the expression of vowing not to give up as she said, “Come, you guys, explain to me how he is not one of my Ancient Spirit Village people when I have recognized him as my grandson. If you don’t tell me plainly by today, I won’t be finished with you. Don’t believe the Ancient Spirit Village is easy to bully simply because the village leader is an old lady!”
“This…”
Looking at Shangguan Cheng Ya, who had suddenly become mad, the dignified elders and the High Elder from the Mighty Bear Tribe glanced at each other as they felt very helpless and bitterly smiled.
Shangguan Cheng Ya was easy to bully? That was definitely a joke. Who did not know that this Shangguan Cheng Ya was hard to handle while her strength just had to be powerful too?
After she became the village head of the Ancient Spirit Village, the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe had suffered many losses.
Especially thirty years ago, for some of the elders of the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe, the scene was still vivid in their minds.
Thirty years ago, the juniors from the Ancient Spirit Village, Hunting Tiger Tribe, and the Mighty Bear Tribe had a conflict and alarmed the seniors. Shangguan Cheng Ya, this woman, had just become the village head of the Ancient Spirit Village, yet she insisted that the Ancient Spirit Village was in the right.
The Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe were naturally unconvinced, and their leaders came out to talk.
Only, their leaders had not said a few words when they had the crap beaten out of them by Shangguan Cheng Ya, one against two in front of everybody.
In the end, wherever Shangguan Cheng Ya was around, the two leaders would definitely not appear.
“You guys quickly speak. Come, all of you, tell me, how is he not one of my Ancient Spirit Village people when I have acknowledged him as my grandson? Can it be that you guys are saying that I, Shangguan Cheng Ya, am not a person of the Ancient Spirit Village? If you guys cannot tell me a reason by today, I will definitely not be polite with you guys!”
Shangguan Cheng Ya stared at the dignified elders from the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the High Elder from the Mighty Bear Tribe with an appearance of denouncing their crimes publicly and vowing not to give up while the aura on her body slightly fluctuated, indistinctly causing the atmosphere in the entire square to also tense up.
“Grandma Shangguan, this…”
Su Yi was so surprised that his jaw almost fell. He did not expect that the kind and gentle Grandma Shangguan would actually have this side of her.
Seeing the elders of the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe’s reactions, they were seemingly very dreadful and afraid of Shangguan Cheng Ya.
At this moment, Shangguan Xi Wei, Shangguan Chen Feng, and the rest of the younger generation were also absolutely dumbfounded.
They had also never seen this side of the village head granny.
“Cheng Ya, this indeed somewhat does not conform with the rules.”
A dignified elder of the Hunting Tiger Tribe felt very helpless with an expression as though he wanted to cry, yet there were no tears, along with a feeling like a scholar was always wrong when he was in front of a soldier.
“You can acknowledge him as your grandson, but challenging on behalf of the Ancient Spirit Village… there is no such precedent!”
The High Elder of the Mighty Bear Tribe felt very gloomy and somewhat afraid. After so many years, Shangguan Cheng Ya’s hot temper did not seem to have changed.
Most importantly, he knew distinctly that Shangguan Cheng Ya’s might was unquestionably not to be trifled with.
“Okay, I will also not make things difficult for you guys, since there is truly no precedent case, but the ancestor’s rule did not say anything about it too.”
As she watched the two elders’s reactions, the aura on Shangguan Cheng Ya’s body slightly became calmer as she said, “Why not like this? Yi Su is now regarded as one of my Ancient Spirit Village people, so he naturally has the qualification to challenge. However, there is no precedent case, so my Ancient Spirit Village will take out some items. If Yi Su failed his challenge, then for one hundred years, the Ancient Spirit Village will not participate in the once-every-ten-years competition. But if Yi Su wins, everything will be as per normal!”
“Not participate for one hundred years…”
Listening to Shangguan Cheng Ya’s words, the expressions of the entire people in the square changed.
The ones that had the hugest reaction were, of course, those strong elderly cultivators of the Ancient Spirit Village, Hunting Tiger Tribe, and the Mighty Bear Tribe.
They distinctively knew what it meant for the Ancient Spirit Village to not participate for one hundred years.
The distance between the Ancient Spirit Village with the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe would grow over the course of a century of non-participation.
If the Ancient Spirit Village did not participate for a hundred years, the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe would lose a major opponent for the next hundred years.
In the future, for every ten years, the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe only had to deal with one competitor, which widely increased their chances to win.
“Grandma Shangguan…”
Su Yi was also shocked. If he lost, the Ancient Spirit Village would not participate for one hundred years. The price to pay was too huge, as this was betting on the future of the entire Ancient Spirit Village.
“No need for any more words. Grandma believes in you.”
Shangguan Cheng Ya’s gaze trembled, and she shot Su Yi a slight smile as her eyes recovered back her kindness.
“But…”
In Su Yi’s heart, he was, on the contrary, not afraid that he could not defeat Xiong Zhan and the Scarlet Searing Raging Bear, only that this bet was absolutely too big, which also meant the responsibility of securing the entire future of the Ancient Spirit Village unmistakably fell onto his shoulders.
“Is it possible that you are afraid? Are you afraid you won’t be able to overcome Xiang Zhan? If you are terrified of this, how can you become a strong cultivator in the future?”
Shangguan Cheng Ya stared at Su Yi and interrupted his words. In her kind gaze, there was some strictness.
