The sky had turned dark while the stars started to appear and filled up the sky . The bustling day in the Great Moon Tribe eventually began to calm down . Today, the Great Moon Tribe had encountered huge changes . Although most of the matters had not been settled completely, the condition of the Great Moon Tribe was considered to be stable now . After a long busy day, Seranchi finally had time to visit the Prestigious Courtyard .
Within a day, she had experienced a life and death trial and dealt with lots of matters for the Great Moon Tribe . In addition, she also visited and placated the wives and children of those who suffered casualties . Seranchi’s face maintained the same amount of grandeur and calmness without even slight fluster or exhaustion . Just the sight of her calm and beautiful face was enough to assure everyone, from the elders to the women and children, in the Great Moon Tribe .
When she reached the outside of the Prestigious Courtyard, Seranchi suddenly slowed down her steps . She took a deep breath and told the two servants beside her, “You can wait here!”
“Alright!” the two servants obediently waited outside the Prestigious Courtyard .
Seranchi walked forward to the main door of the courtyard . It was quiet inside, and only the sound from the insects in the flower beds of the courtyard could be heard . There were two young maids of the Great Moon Tribe waiting to be summoned at the entrance of the anteroom .
“Is Selena still inside?” Seranchi asked softly . The two maids nodded . Without saying anything, Seranchi walked through the anteroom and the garden in the middle of the anteroom before she turned to the corridors . She eventually reached the place where the guest of honor stayed with a backyard connected to a hot spring .
Just as she stepped foot in the garden of the backyard of the Prestigious Courtyard, Seranchi heard sounds that were like intensive clapping sounds coming from the room . Among those sounds was her daughter Selena’s voice .
The moment she heard the sounds, Seranchi’s feet felt as though they were being nailed to the floor . Her initially calm face slowly revealed a faint blush; however, she did not leave . Instead, she stood quietly in the garden, unmoving like a tree .
Those indescribable sounds in the room rang out for half an hour before it gradually died down . Seranchi had been waiting quietly outside all along . She waited for a while more before she lightly coughed in the backyard and walked forward to knock on the door .
Selena, who was in orderly attire, opened the door . Her face was blushing and she was slightly embarrassed . After sneaking a quick glance at Seranchi, she lowered her head .
“Selena, Lord Long has not eaten dinner yet . Can you make the arrangements? I have something to discuss with him!” Seranchi said calmly and immediately entered the room .

“Alright!” Selena turned her head to look at Yan Liqiang who was inside . Yan Liqiang nodded and smiled at her . Selena closed the door as she left because she knew Seranchi had something to discuss with Yan Liqiang .
At that moment, Yan Liqiang was sitting calmly on a stool inside the room wearing a large silk bathrobe . He looked at Seranchi who walked into the room with great interest . To be honest, he was a little impressed with this woman . He knew the instant she was here, but he had not expected this woman to quietly wait outside for more than half an hour . It was this patience that made Yan Liqiang have a whole new level of respect for her . Even if it was the Great Moon Tribe’s tradition to always have a female chief, she definitely had to have extraordinary capability as a woman tribal leader to be able to lead groups of men to settle on Mount Jade Dragon .
The moment Seranchi walked in, Yan Liqiang had already activated his Psychic Serpent ability out of habit .
“Have a seat Chief Seranchi . I didn’t know you were coming . Please do not feel offended by my lack of manners!”
“If it wasn’t for Lord Long today, I am afraid we might not have been able to preserve the Great Moon Tribe . Speaking about the lack of manners, it was our Great Moon Tribe who was lacking in preparation . ” Seranchi scanned the room and headed directly to the long bench with a silver lampstand and sat calmly across Yan Liqiang . She smiled, “Does Lord Long like it here? This is the Prestigious Courtyard which we’ve had since we were still residing in the Gulang Plains . Back in those years when the Qiyun Protectorate General came for an inspection visit to the Great Moon Tribe, he would always stay at our Prestigious Courtyard . And because of that, the Prestigious Courtyard has always preserved the construction style of the Han Tribe which the Qiyun Protectorate General was fond of . Only the most honorable guests of the Great Moon Tribe could stay here . ”
“It is pretty good here!” Yan Liqiang nodded and looked around him . “Before I met Selena, I wouldn’t have guessed that the Great Moon Tribe could speak the Han language!”
“Long before the Shatu people’s invasion, the few tribes that resided in the Gulang Plains had already gotten used to the Han language . We have similar food and traditions too!” Seranchi slightly paused, then looked into Yan Liqiang’s eyes, “Lord Long saved Selena yesterday, so she really likes and respects you . Lord Long must have felt it, right?!”
“I understand what Chief Seranchi means!” Yan Liqiang smiled faintly . He knew the woman in front of him had delved into the main topic, “Chief Seranchi only needs to know that my encounter with Selena was totally by accident and I never intended to approach her in the first place or make use of her to achieve my own goal . Regardless of what happens in the future, I’ll never hurt Selena!”
“Is this Lord Long’s promise to me?” Seranchi questioned closely .
“You may think of it as such!”
“Lord Long has done a great favor to the Great Moon Tribe today . I really do not know how to repay you . If Lord Long has any requests, please ask . We’ll make sure that Lord Long is satisfied to the very best of our capabilities!”

Yan Liqiang shook his head and sighed, “Chief Seranchi, I am truly disappointed to hear that . Considering that you are Selena’s mother, I’ve treated you with sincerity . However, I did not expect for you to still play tricks on me at a time like this . The Great Moon Tribe is at the brink of destruction with dangers still lurking around, but you are talking about repaying me . Do you think that is of help? Do you think that with my capability, there is something that the Great Moon Tribe can achieve that I cannot? To be honest, if you intend to hold me back, you wouldn’t be able to do that even if you placed the life and wealth of everyone in the Great Moon Tribe on me . Even within the Silver Continent, countries with billions of people also had moments where they perished, let alone a small tribe such as the Great Moon Tribe . My purpose in coming to Mount Jade Dragon is to cultivate and not get involved in any other matters . I’ll be leaving the Great Moon Tribe tomorrow, so as to what the Shatu people do for revenge, you can take care of that yourself . Any matters concerning the Great Moon Tribe in the future will have nothing to do with me . Please leave now, Chief Seranchi!”
Hearing Yan Liqiang’s words and seeing the frosty expression on his face caused tears to well up in Seranchi’s eyes before they cascaded down her face . She cried and stood up to bow at Yan Liqiang, “Serianchi is wrong, as the chief of the Great Moon Tribe, I had no other choice . Please don’t be mad, Lord Long . The Great Moon Tribe is now at the brink of destruction and the Dark Wood Tribe will be coming soon to seek revenge . I am afraid that the Great Moon Tribe won’t be able to withstand them and we definitely need Lord Long’s aid!”
“I can assist you, but the condition is for us to be sincerely honest with each other and everything will be done according to my rules . I really hate it when someone is plotting schemes right in front of me . Are you able to agree to my request?” Yan Liqiang calmly looked at Seranchi who suddenly cried in front of him .
“Please rest assured, Lord Long!”
“Alright, then let’s give it a try . I’ll give you a chance to see if we can be sincere and honest to each other!”
“Please say it, Lord Long!”
“I noticed that you kept looking at me during our discussion just now . Demonstrate to me what came across your mind at that time!”
Seranchi was utterly shocked as she looked into Yan Liqiang eyes . It seemed as though his eyes had magical powers to see through her own eyes . Seranchi’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened as goosebumps rose all over her body . At that moment, Yan Liqiang was ten thousand times more terrifying than Morbeto in Seranchi’s heart .
Her breathing became rapid and her chest moved up and down . Impossible! It’s impossible for him to know what I was thinking about just now . There’s no one like that in this world . He could be just saying that randomly, so let’s probe into it…
“Chief Seranchi, let me remind you that you only have one chance . If you cannot be a hundred percent honest with me, I will not stay . I’m not obligated to risk my life for the Great Moon Tribe . If Selena begs me, I will bring her along and that’s all I can do . You can continue to gamble with your scheme, but be prepared to accept the consequences of a lost gamble! Of course, when it comes to honesty, before you show your sincerity, let me show you mine first!” Yan Liqiang gently touched the back of his ears and took off the King Cobra mask that he wore on his face to reveal his real identity .
Seranchi suddenly felt her head spinning as she looked at the sixteen-year-old young delicate face hidden behind the mask all this while . When she recalled Yan Liqiang’s performance during the battle in the Moon Prayer Hall earlier today, Seranchi simply couldn’t believe that this was the face hidden behind his mask .

“Who…who are you?”
“Even Selena has never seen my real face before . You are the first one on Mount Jade Dragon to see my true identity . As for my name, that’ll entirely depend on your decision!” Yan Liqiang looked at Seranchi calmly . He wasn’t even worried that Seranchi would guess who he was after looking at his face since it was impossible . Even if Seranchi had seen him before, as long as he denied his identity, nobody could say that he ever appeared in the Great Moon Tribe . This was the wonder behind this .
In order to take in the Great Moon Tribe, he would need to exert himself physically, and most importantly, he needed to conquer the mind and heart of the tribe too . Especially for people like Seranchi, unless he was able to completely bring down the defensive wall in her heart and her facade as a chief within the shortest amount of time, then leave a powerful and irresistible impression of himself in her heart, it would be difficult for her to entirely submit to him . There were other ways, but those would take longer . With the current situation of the Great Moon Tribe, they didn’t have much time to tarry . Before he proceeded to place his bet on the Great Moon Tribe, he needed to confirm if he was able to entirely grasp the Great Moon Tribe inside his hands .
All he could say was that the Psychic Serpent’s ability was too f*cking awesome…
Granted, Yan Liqiang did not let Seranchi really do her part of the demonstration . He stopped her right at the beginning as his intention was for her to submit herself and not to humiliate her . He did not have any perverted indulgence . Regardless of whether one was a man or woman, everyone experienced lust . As long as it did not hurt oneself or others, it was nothing to be shameful about .
“My real name is Yan Liqiang . I am the newly appointed Qiyun Protectorate General of the Great Han Empire . Chief Seranchi should have heard of the name . Since we are able to be honest and sincere with each other, we can now properly discuss the matters of the Great Moon Tribe!”
About an hour later, Selena returned to the Prestigious Courtyard after she was done with dinner preparations . She knocked on the door, “Brother Long, dinner is ready!”
“Come in…” Yan Liqiang’s voice filled the room .
Selena pushed the door open and saw that only Yan Liqiang was inside the room . He had already changed into a set of fresh clothes . He stood beside the window with his head lifted and his hands clasped behind him while staring at the starry sky, “Ah, Brother Long, where’s my mother?”
“Your mother left after we finished the discussion!” Yan Liqiang turned around and smiled .
“Brother Long, would you like to have dinner here or at the dining hall?”
“Let’s go to the dining hall!”
“Alright!”
Both of them talked while walking out of the room .
“Selena…” Yan Liqiang suddenly called her softly .
“Yes, what’s the matter Brother Long?” Selena turned her head and gave Yan Liqiang a sweet smile .
Yan Liqiang gently squeezed Selena’s hand . “Just now while I was discussing some matters with your mother in the room, she convinced me to stay and help the Great Moon Tribe through this crisis!”
“Ah, that’s great…” Selena suddenly felt happy and excited . “I knew Brother Long would never abandon us . ”
