I am the one running the game

Chapter 542 It's not easy for a family to be so hated by everyone

"You didn't save Ke, so he died at the hands of the Snake King's spies?"

In the Tongshu tribe, a woman about 1.78 meters tall asked with a dissatisfied look on her face.

Lu Xingshi had just arrived and was about to find Hui to go with him to take inventory of the warehouse. However, as soon as he came in, he saw two strangers communicating with Hui.

"They are Ke's parents, Yue and Chuan." Hui introduced them to Lu Xingshi.

"It's not that I didn't save him, but that I couldn't save him. The spy from the Snake Spirit King's Court was a totem warrior with seven blood lines. How could I be his opponent?" Lu Xingshi spoke nonsense calmly.

Hearing that Lu Xingshi was calm, the woman immediately became angry: "You can't run away alone, even if it means losing your own life, you have to save him!"

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he just felt very unlucky. How could this be so crazy?

"Oh, I should be the one saying this. Where were you when Ke died?"

"You abandoned him when he was a child. He was calling out your names before he died. I just wanted to save him, but how can I ever replace you?"

"As his parents, we didn't give up everything to save him, and yet you have the nerve to point fingers at me." Lu Xingshi retorted sarcastically.

"You dare... you dare..." Chuan was so angry that she was shaking.

"We didn't know about this at the time. If we had known, we would have rushed back." Yue held Chuan behind him and said in a muffled voice.

After all these years, I don’t know what opportunity Yue got, but he has become a totem warrior with nine blood lines. He is extremely young.

"Putting aside the facts, Ke was about to die. Didn't you know that and rush back? In the final analysis, it was your parents' inaction that caused his death."

"If you came to save him without knowing that he was going to die, then Ke would not have died." Lu Xingshi said with a sneer.

The sense of superiority and double standards of these two people are about to overflow. Lu Xingshi is very double-standard. He only allows himself to be double-standard for others, but does not allow others to be double-standard for him.

When Hui heard this, she couldn't help but hold her forehead.

"You have already ignored the facts, so how can we talk about it?" Chuan hit back.

Veins popped out on Lu Xingshi's forehead. "Yes, then why did you ask me to save your son? In fact, he and I have no relationship at all. Even you as his parents are unwilling to save him. He and I are just from the same tribe. Why should we save him?"

He finally realized that this woman did have a bit of princess syndrome.

The other party wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yue.

"Lu, we are not here to accuse you of anything this time. We just want to ask where my son's body is." Yue asked.

"You've already accused me of something. You wanted to make me responsible for Ke's death, but you failed and had to change the question." Lu Xingshi mocked, and then said, "I don't know. He was taken away by the spies of the Snake Spirit King's Court."

"It's no use looking for me, you have to go to the Snake Spirit King Court."

If the other person's attitude and tone were nicer, instead of blaming him right away, it would be fine to lead the way.

Seeing Lu Xingshi's attitude, Chuan got angry again and wanted to say something, but Yue quickly stopped her again.

"Okay, I understand. We will go to the Snake Spirit King's Court to ask for an explanation." Yue said, then turned to look at Hui: "There are actually two things we are going back to the Tongshu Tribe for this time."

"In addition to taking Ke away, I would also like to ask you to remove me from the totem."

Hui was shocked by Yue's request, while Lu Xingshi was thinking about one thing, that is, what rights did Yue have to ask the Snake Spirit King Court for an explanation.

Rely on himself? This was definitely unrealistic, so he set his sights on his wife Chuan.

Only this woman with a mysterious origin could have such a background.

"Think about it carefully. Once you are removed from the list, the bronze bloodline in your body will disappear, and even the blood patterns you have condensed will dissipate." Hui said in a deep voice.

"Of course we know that your so-called bronze bloodline has long become a burden. Why keep it if we don't get rid of it?" Chuan said disdainfully.

"Chuan, be quiet." Yue couldn't help but scold this time, and then continued: "Since I am no longer in the Copper Tree Tribe, there is no need for the bronze blood to flow in my body."

Hui looked at Chuan deeply. He knew that the unpleasant words of disdain were the real reason.

"Okay, I will not only delete your name, but also Ke's name." Hui said.

The two naturally didn't have any thoughts. The person was already dead, so they just got rid of him.

"No problem." Yue had no feelings for Ke at all. He threw Ke to Hui as soon as he was born. How could he say that he cared about him?

"Wait a minute, are you going to make Hui work hard just by opening your mouth?"

"The tribe has spent more resources cultivating Ke over the years than you have. In addition, abandoning Ke over the years has not only not brought any prey to the tribe, but has also caused a lot of burden."

"Can all these things be forgotten with just three words 'no problem'? That's a nice thought of yours." Lu Xingshi said.

If the other party offends you first, don't blame Lu Xingshi for pursuing him relentlessly.

As for the other party being a totem warrior with nine blood veins, would he get angry and attack him later? Did he really think Hui was a vegetarian? Now that the copper tree totem has been established again, as a witch, Hui will have no problem protecting Lu Xingshi in the tribe.

"Lu, let's not mention these things." Hui responded.

"That's right. Once you run away, we won't see each other anymore. Whatever you promised is just bullshit." Lu Xingshi continued, and added sarcastically: "If you can even abandon Ke, let alone the promise you made to the tribe."

"I know I owe the tribe and Ke, so this is compensation." Yue was not angry. Instead, Chuan was so angry at Lu Xingshi's weirdness that her eyes turned red, and she wished she could tear Lu Xingshi to pieces alive.

Yue took out a piece of crystal clear jade and handed it to Hui.

Lu Xingshi could tell at a glance that this was a natural treasure similar to a pearl, which was not meant to be eaten but to be worn.

"Carrying it on your body will help guide your bloodline and control totems more effectively." Yue explained the effect of this jade.

Hui took it with a smile. Although he said no just now, he was actually hinting Lu Xingshi to add more fuel to the fire.

The two of them played the good cop and the bad cop respectively, and they worked together very well.

"The tribe is poor, so I accepted it. Logically I shouldn't have accepted it, but for the sake of the members of the tribe, alas." Hui sighed, looking helpless.

"I should give it to the tribe." Yue also went along with it, and then asked: "What about my expulsion..."

The jade given was not so-called compensation at all, but a way to bribe Hui to get his help.

As for Lu Xingshi, Yue simply did not take him seriously. A wizard who had just completed his coming-of-age ceremony not long ago, no matter how capable he was, could not be that high.

In his eyes, the only person who can really make decisions is Hui.

"Lu, go to the totem and remove Yue's name from the totem." Hui said.

"Hmph, you got a good deal." Lu Xingshi turned his face away and left the tent directly.

After Lu Xingshi left, Yue smiled and said, "This new witch in the tribe has little ability but a bad temper."

"You will have to be disciplined in the future, so that you don't offend someone you shouldn't offend in the future, and then bring disaster to the tribe."

"You've just grown up, so it's normal to have a bad temper. You were like this back then, too. Ke and Lu are not much different." Hui said it nicely, but in fact, she was very dissatisfied with Yue's words.

If he hadn't taken into account the other party's mysterious background, he would have cursed at him long ago.

Now he finally understood why Ke betrayed the tribe. It turned out that his father was just that kind of person, so it was normal that he couldn't raise his son well.

So when he belittled Lu Xingshi, he turned around and implicitly belittled Yue Heke, saying that you and your son both have the same temper and still have the nerve to talk about others.

Chuan didn't hear what Hui meant and just thought that the two were just chatting about family matters. Instead, Yue's expression changed slightly. How could he not hear what Hui meant?

The two of them were talking back and forth, and soon Yue's expression was shocked, and his body suddenly went limp. Chuan was quick to support him.

This is the symptom of the bronze blood in Yue's body fading after Lu Xingshi removed Yue's name from the bronze tree totem.

However, the other party recovered quickly and seemed unaffected.

When Hui saw this scene, shock flashed across his eyes. He had never seen anyone who could maintain his bloodline after being removed from the totem. No, it was not about maintaining the bloodline, but about changing the bloodline.

This made him feel depressed. It seemed that it was the right decision to send these two people away.

"Since we have been removed from the tribe, it is not good for us to stay in the Copper Tree Tribe any longer, so we will leave first."

"We still have to go to the Snake Spirit King's Court to ask Ke for an explanation." Yue did not look weak at all. Instead, he was full of energy and looked like he was not affected at all.

"Don't you want to stay here anymore? The bronze blood in your body has just faded and you are traveling in the wilderness. It's very dangerous." Hui said politely, and his real intention was naturally to get these two people to get out as soon as possible.

But out of consideration for the relationship, I still said it.

If the other party really agrees, then it's time for Lu Xingshi to appear.

"It's just a minor injury, it's no big deal." Yue refused directly. He could see that beneath Hui's enthusiastic surface, she was deeply dissatisfied with him.

Even if he agreed to stay, he would only suffer and would not gain any benefit at all.

It would be better to leave first. As he said, the fading of bronze bloodline will not affect him at all.

"You are just too polite."

"Although you don't have bronze blood, you grew up in the Copper Tree Tribe anyway. Why are you being so formal?"

"I can't beat your stubborn temper. It hasn't changed at all. Let me see you off." Hui looked helpless, but she had already stood up to see the guest off.

If it weren't for the expression on his face that showed he was trying to keep her, these words would have looked like he was trying to drive her away.
