Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 27 Comfort
After a great battle, everyone cleaned up the battlefield, collected severed limbs and remains, buried the dead, healed the wounded, and comforted the people.

Lan Tian made a special trip to visit Murong Ziying. Her injuries were not serious, and she was now lively and energetic. She looked down on Lan Tian and was arrogant and conceited.

"Let me go back now, or my father will raze this place to the ground and leave no one alive!" Murong Ziying shouted angrily.

Lan Tian ignored her, glancing at her injuries before leaving. Tony Sander, however, was far more excited. This was his trophy. For years, he'd been constantly bullied by this girl, never able to lift his head. Today, he finally got his revenge, feeling incredibly smug. He wondered how to torment this little beauty, this little tyrant. Sigh, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He'd wait and see; her father wasn't someone to be trifled with either.

Tony Sander was secretly delighted to see Murong Ziying's furious expression and left with a grin.

"Tony Sanders, let's fight one-on-one, you coward, you bastard!" Murong Ziying was still cursing.

Tony Sanders caught up with the blue sky.

"Brother Lan, what should we do next?" Tony Sander treated Lan Tian with great respect, even addressing him as a brother. It was Lan Tian who had made him stand out in front of Murong Ziying, making him arrogant and successful in everything he did. He was overjoyed.

"Wait"

Why? Who are you waiting for?

"People will come to us!"

"Oh!"

Lan Tian ignored Tony Sander and went to find the clan leader himself. He wanted to know if the outsiders Murong Ziying mentioned were from the four major families, and whether they had some conflict with them; or were they the two men Uncle Lei had sent in earlier? If not, he wondered where they had gone, and whether they had been killed here.

Upon arriving at the clan chief's place, someone hurriedly reported that Murong Ziying's father had sent a message wanting to speak with the clan chief at their usual spot. The clan chief, for some reason, agreed. Lan Tian, ​​curious and concerned, accompanied the clan chief.

The clan chief was honest and kind. He readily agreed to let Lan Tian accompany him to meet Murong Ziying's father. Murong Ziying's father, Murong Hengbin, was an old acquaintance of the clan chief. They had studied together in the same sect and addressed each other as fellow disciples. The clan chief, Tony Haonan, was Murong Hengbin's senior brother. They had cultivated together and fought side by side in tournaments during their youth, forging a deep friendship. Major matters between the two clans could now generally be resolved through their mediation. In their younger days, the two clans were not so hostile and could coexist peacefully. Now, due to dwindling resources, the two clans had become so embroiled in conflict for survival. ...

"Brother Haonan, it's been so long since we last met!"

“My dear brother Yokohama, it’s been so many years, you’ve aged quite a bit.”

"Haha, please excuse me, I have too many things to worry about."

"What happened this time? Why is my daughter so angry and making such a fuss?"

“Some time ago, a group of outsiders came to our town and had a conflict with my daughter. The two sides fought and many people were killed or injured. My daughter thought they were spies sent by you, so she went to great lengths to fight you. We couldn’t stop her. Please forgive us.”

“I see. We’ve also had some outsiders here, who are friends to us. We didn’t send them out as spies!” The chieftain pointed to the blue sky. “These are our distinguished guests.”

"It was a misunderstanding, please forgive me, Brother Haonan. I'm sorry."

"Oh well, let it be. We haven't had a proper drink in ages, we have to have a good one today."

"Yes, please."

The two old friends were so engrossed in drinking that they completely forgot about what was to come. Seeing this, Lan Tian was relieved and hoped to find a way to leave as soon as possible. After a few drinks, everyone returned home satisfied. When the clan chief returned, he released Murong Ziying and ordered Tony Sander to escort her safely back to the white tribe's town.

Tony Sander was extremely conflicted. He had finally won a battle, capturing Murong Ziying alive and slightly increasing his prestige. Now, he was personally escorting her back intact. Tony Sander was very unhappy, but he dared not disobey his father's orders. That brat Murong Ziying was overjoyed, showing no politeness to Tony Sander at all, her face full of competitive spirit. These two were truly destined to be enemies; they were bound to make a good couple in the future!
