"In the end, they didn't break through and left before me." Meng Lin's mood was down.
"Let's go down and prepare a feast for the old chief!
Also, we have to tell the other clansmen about the good news of the old chief's return so that they can be happy … "
The old men were excited. Their mountain might look cramped with tens of thousands of people, but the surrounding mountains belonged to the Daluo Mountain Range.
However, the mountains around Hillfall Mountain Village belonged to the Hillfall Mountain Range. These mountains could be used for hunting and farming, so the living standards of the village were not bad.
After the elders left, Meng Lin and the other three elders walked towards a small wooden house.
It wasn't big, but it had all the necessary furnishings. Not even a speck of dust could be seen.
Li Mo caught a whiff of fragrance in front of the house. It must have come from the wood used to build it.
"It's been so many years since the chief returned, but us old geezers would always come and clean his hut whenever we had the time.
We were planning to have the children come back to clean it after we left … "
An honest-looking old man in a neat robe said.
Li Mo heard Meng Lin call him Meng Kun.
"It must have been hard on you."
Meng Lin touched the familiar hut and couldn't help but speak.
Then, Meng Lin looked at a small wooden house of the same design and said,
"Li Mo, Eggy, you two can stay in that hut."
Even in Jiuli Tribe's Daluo Mountain Camp, a hut of this size wasn't something one could live in without a high enough status.
Meng Lin treated Li Mo quite well.
However, when Meng Kun and the others heard Meng Lin's words, they looked at each other with ugly expressions.
"What?
Can't you even arrange a house for my guest? "
Meng Lin was annoyed at Meng Kun's expression.
"Chief … that's not what I meant."
Meng Kun immediately shook his head. Although there were many surnames in the village,
But Meng Kun and Meng Lin were both from the Meng clan, and Meng Lin was their chief. Meng Kun was naturally close to him.
"Then what's going on?
Speak! "
Meng Lin's face turned cold. Meng Lin had been gone for so many years, but his influence was still there.
Meng Lin's rebuke made Meng Kun and the rest shudder.
"Patriarch, these two houses used to belong to you.
However, the tribe's acting elder is Li Yan, so Elder Li Yan only left this house for you and gave it to his son. We can't say anything … "
Meng Kun bowed and said while trembling. He looked at Meng Lin's face, which was getting colder and colder.
The other two old men also said immediately.
"However, since Patriarch has returned, the position of Patriarch is naturally still yours.
We will only support you. "
"Yes, I'll go inform Chief Li Yan and ask him to move out."
"…"
Li Mo's mouth twitched as he listened to Meng Kun and the rest.
It seemed like Menglin had been gone for so many years, and the people of Dusk Mountain Village had changed.
Even the clansmen with the same surname as Meng Lin were deeply fearful of Li Yan. One could see how severe Li Yan's suppression of the Meng clansmen had been as the acting Elder Li.
"Humph!
Why would I need his, Li Yan's, permission to do something?
Prepare the house for Li Mo! "
Meng Lin snorted and said.
Li Mo noticed this after being with Meng Lin for so many days.
When Meng Lin was in a good mood, he called him old man.
But when he was in a bad mood, he called him old man.
"This …"
The old men looked at each other.
Meng Kun gritted his teeth and said.
"Let's go!
Now that the old patriarch is back, there's no need to be afraid of Li Yan! "
With that, the elders rolled up their sleeves and walked towards the house.
The strict Eldest Young Master was nowhere to be found. He wasn't in the room.
The two guards outside couldn't stop Meng Kun's group.
The two guards were even beaten up by Meng Kun and the others after they mentioned the Eldest Young Master's name.
Meng Kun and the others did not hold back at all when they attacked. It was as if they were farmers who had turned over a new leaf.
The Li clansmen had been oppressing the Meng clansmen all these years.
The few old men were also very efficient. In a few moments, they had thrown all of Eldest Young Master Li Yan's belongings to the two guards. The room was very clean and bright.
Li Mo cupped his fists at the sight of the three old men returning.
"Many thanks, seniors."
Although they helped Li Mo because of Meng Lin, Li Mo still had to thank them.
"Are you done?"
At this moment, Meng Lin had already returned to his own house. Meng Lin had a good understanding of his house.
Thus, Meng Lin took out some tea leaves from a small cabinet with ease. Then, he took out some water from his storage bag. Meng Lin's spirit qi turned into flames and boiled the water.
Not long after, the fragrance of the tea leaves spread.
Li Mo and Eggy were lucky enough to sit next to Meng Lin and drink tea.
Meng Kun's group didn't get the same treatment.
Meng Lin didn't even ask them to sit.
Meng Lin was still upset over what happened.
"Old patriarch, it's done.
We can let the two young brothers stay. "
Meng Lin didn't tell them to sit, so they didn't dare.
They could only stand and talk.
"I remember when I left, I chose Elder Meng Biao as the new patriarch.
Elder Meng Biao has passed away, but Clan Leader Meng Biao will definitely choose our Meng clansmen as the acting clan leader. Why would he choose Li Yan? "
Meng Lin asked without looking at Meng Kun and the rest.
"Old patriarch, after you left, Elder Meng Biao took care of the village.
However, Elder Meng Biao passed away without a trace a few years ago, and we didn't even get to see his corpse.
According to Li Yan, Elder Meng Biao had died from Qi deviation during cultivation.
Because of Elder Meng Biao's sudden departure, he didn't leave behind a candidate for the next elder.
Thus, the village chose a new patriarch … "
Kacha!
Meng Kun didn't even get to finish when Meng Biao crushed the teacup in his hand, spilling tea all over the floor.
Meng Biao raised his head, his eyes red as he roared like he wanted to eat someone alive.
"You can't believe Li Yan's words!
Are you idiots? "
Meng Kun and the other two lowered their heads when they heard Meng Lin's roar.
Meng Kun said.
"Patriarch, you still don't know our village?
We only have four Nascent Soul experts. You and Elder Meng Biao appeared in our Meng clan.
The leader with the surname Li was Li Yan and the leader with the surname Wu, Wu Yiliu.
The clansmen of the other surnames all follow the lead of our three surnames.
But you disappeared and Elder Meng Biao died a strange death. Our Meng clan is a group of dragons without a leader. What else can we do … "
