He is also a good village chief who leads Yanhuo Village to resist monsters and revitalize the economy.

However, no matter how perfect a person is, he or she has a weak side.

This man doesn't know how to handle delicate emotions.

Just like... he never dared to reveal his feelings to the girl he loved.

Even so, he had fearlessly faced countless [gods] (ancient dragons) that were revered and feared by humans.

The two of them were still staring at each other fiercely.

Even though both of them knew that what they had just said was a bit excessive, neither of them was going to give in.

So, Ye Zi looked away and clenched his fists.

"Master, you don't understand anything!"

Then, Ye Zi pushed open the door and rushed out.

"Ye, Yezi..."

Lieren wanted to call her back, but it was too late. The girl's physical fitness was beyond ordinary people. She ran away in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, Lieren's own pride is difficult to be humbled.

So he just walked out of the door symbolically, took two steps, and then stood there, staring at the direction the girl was running in a daze.

This was the first time the two had a conflict, and Lieren didn't know what to do.

At the same time, Shui Yun Huo Ya, who had just exchanged shifts with other poster girls at the assembly hall, happened to see Ye Zi running towards the training ground on the other side of the road.

"Ah~ Isn't this Ye...Ye...Yezi?"

However, just as Huoya was about to say hello to her, she realized that the little girl didn't notice her and Shuiyun at all, and was just running on her own.

The two confused people just had a big question mark over their heads and continued to move towards home.

But after walking for a distance, he saw Lieren standing outside Ye Zi's house with a sad face, looking confused and heartbroken.

The two of them immediately realized something was wrong and trotted forward.

"Hey, Lieren, why are you here? We just saw Yezi running around in the alley. What happened?"

Looking at the two dragon-people women who were both virtuous and beautiful, Lieren's tense heart relaxed a little.

He sighed and walked back to Yezi's cabin.

Seeing this, Shui Yun and Huo Ya looked at each other and followed Lie Ren in.

According to the customs of Yanhuo Village, people can basically enter and exit other people's houses at will, not to mention that Ye Zi is Lie Ren's apprentice and Shui Yun Huo Ya's good sister.

Lieren didn't say anything directly, but looked at the room full of training equipment and weapons.

In recent years, due to various strange things in the Feishen Community and the internal affairs of Yanhuo Village, Lieren has not come to Yezi's cabin for a long time.

The two met either at the assembly hall or the training ground.

He gently touched the knife mark on the head of the wooden stake. Just one glance and he knew that after Ye Zi completed his goals on the training ground, he would continue to train hard in his room.

The old man gradually felt heartache and sadness in his heart.

So he sighed deeply again and told his two close female friends what had happened tonight.

After listening to this, Huoya frowned and looked at Lieren with a look of rolling her eyes.

"Ah, I say, are you two really so twisted?

Sayoko was also thinking about the village. As a respected legendary hunter in the guild, you just turned a blind eye and let it go.

Even if they are found out, with your prestige and the current situation in the village, the guild won't make it too difficult.

Shui Yun also nodded and agreed:

"Sister Onee-sama is right, and I think Master Lie Ren is also wrong."

"Well...even you two think so..."

Lieren shook his head slightly and chuckled with a bitter expression.

In fact, he wanted to quibble.

As a highly respected old hunter, he has to abide by the rules and does not want to use his status to abuse his power and bend the law.

But he still didn't defend himself, after all, he hurt Ye Zi's heart.

Huoya continued to reply with humorous words,

"Really? To use the latest popular words, you, Lie Ren, have a strong dad vibe. And the two of you are so awkward, you have a poet's grip~"

"As expected of onee-sama, you actually know all these weird buzzwords."

Looking at the cheerful and humorous Huoya, Shuiyun also agreed.

"...Hey, Huoya, where did you learn all these weird things from?"

Lieren held his forehead, not knowing where to start complaining.

Unexpectedly, Huoya thought Lieren was asking where he learned it, so he told him.

"Huh? I learned these weird things from Alulu. I heard that Han Xin always makes humorous and witty jokes to cheer her up. I picked them up from chatting with her~"

The topic suddenly turned to Han Xin, and Shui Yun beside her suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of Lord Han Xin, I saw Ye Zi pulling him in the assembly hall today as if he had something urgent to do."

A word of advice woke Lieren up from his dream, and he suddenly realized that perhaps the materials Ye Zi obtained came from Han Xin.

He frowned, and the more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed.

At this moment, Lieren suddenly remembered the [Scales of the Black Flame King] that he had found on the Jue Yinlong battlefield a long time ago.

Although Han Xin and Ye Zi did not reveal anything, and all researchers had not found the Black Flame King in the Feishen Community area.

But Lieren always felt that these puzzling things were closely related to the mysterious Meralu.

Even though he trusts Han Xin very much now, the mystery surrounding the latter makes Lieren feel puzzled and confused.

So, Lieren started imagining things again.

"Could it be that these materials are precious materials accumulated by the Melalu tribe of the Fortress Heights for generations?

After learning that we urgently need these precious materials, Han Xin plans to reluctantly give up the treasures left by the tribe to repair the Feiye Fortress?

But why did you entrust Ye Zi to me? And why did you keep it so secret?

Could it be that he is worried that I will feel guilty towards the Melalu tribe in the Fortress Heights?

After all, I didn't save their tribe back then, so I really can't accept such precious materials with peace of mind...

Ah! That makes sense! So he specifically told Ye Zi not to tell anyone about his affairs, because he was worried that I wouldn't accept this gift?

Well...if that's the case, I really misunderstood Ye Zi...Han Xin, you are worthy of being my good grandson-in-law..."

Looking at Lieren, he lowered his head, thinking hard and mumbling something,

Shuiyun and Huoya couldn't help but spread their hands and looked at each other.

They both knew that the man in front of them had started to engage in inexplicable "reasoning" again.

After a moment, Lieren, who thought he "knew everything", stood up.

"I'll go and apologize to...Yezi..."

But who would have thought that Lieren, who had just made up his mind and was about to walk out of the door, suddenly covered his chest!

As luck would have it, his old illness relapsed at this moment.

A mouthful of old blood rushed up his throat, but he didn't want to contaminate Ye Zi's house with filth, so he swallowed the poisonous blood in one gulp!

The two dragon girls naturally knew what happened.

They were quick to help him up immediately.

"Hunter?!"/"Lord Hunter?!"

Huoya immediately held up Lieren's arm.

"What are you doing?! Don't you know how harmful it is to your body to forcefully swallow this blood?!"

Shuiyun hugged Lieren's waist and back,

"Sister, please send Master Lieren to the infirmary as soon as possible!"

Lieren, who was being supported, looked exhausted.

He felt that he was sorry for Ye Zi, sorry for Han Xin, and even more sorry for the two girls in front of him.

……

On the other side, Ye Zi came to the training ground and began to vent his anger.

She picked up the basic sword from the training ground and began to chop fiercely at the mechanical wooden stake in the shape of a kappa frog.

The momentum was so great that it caused bursts of air-breaking and slashing sounds in the quiet night sky.

This time, she no longer controlled her endurance, and like a wild beast, she exhausted all her strength and endurance.

Until I was sweating profusely and collapsed on the ground exhausted.

Just as she was staring at the starry sky on the training ground,

There was a sound of something falling to the ground, followed by a wailing sound.

"Wooah, my bunny!"

Ye Zi stood up and looked over slowly, only to find that it was Kate who was carrying a large plate of rabbit dumplings.

And under her feet was a string of rabbit dumplings fallen on the ground.

Kate immediately put the plate on the resting table, then picked up the bunny on the ground, blew away the dust, and muttered:

"That was a close call, the five-second rule..."

However, just as she was about to take a bite of the dirty rabbit dumpling, she found that Ye Zi's big eyes were staring at her.

At this moment, Kate realized that Ye Zi had been here all along...

So the former blushed, put the dirty bunny on his back, and made an awkward but polite smile.
