Then I heard the chieftain say, "I will be away for a few days. You will be in charge of the salt production. I was originally thinking of choosing the person, but now something has happened. I have to put it aside for now, or you can do it alone."

"Are you anxious, Chief?"

Let her do it alone? Zhou Manman could agree, but she felt it was a waste of time.

Zhou Manman had originally planned to just tell them the steps and let them do it themselves. Even if the method leaked out, it wouldn't be her fault. After all, it was the clan leader who hired her. But now she was asked to do this alone, which was simply a thankless task!

And she also wanted to have some time to go to the capital to sell things, otherwise her energy stone would be wasted.

"I'll give you thirty energy stones. I can give them to you right now."

When Zhou Manman heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Chief, I will definitely handle this properly, and there will definitely not be any mistakes."

After telling her, the tribe leader asked Zhou Manman to follow the orcs next to him to get the energy stone. Qing Lingyu was about to follow, "Yu, stay. I have something to tell you."

Zhou Manman immediately said tactfully: "It's okay, I can go alone. What kind of danger can there be in the tribe? I'm not a child anymore."

Yu thought for a moment, and seeing her happy look, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

The clan leader waited until Zhou Manman walked away before he dismissed the people around him and took Yu out of the cave. As soon as the two of them entered the cave, it was as if they were soundproofed, and the noise outside instantly died down.

The chief walked to a wall and reached out to touch the bulge on it. The wall slowly opened to both sides and the two walked in. Inside was a huge miniature version of the tribal map. The points where the energy stones were placed emitted a faint light, forming a transparent barrier that was closing over the entire miniature map of the tribe.

Seeing this, Qing Lingyu couldn't help but frown, "It's been more than a month, and the barrier is still not healed."

"As the energy of the Tree of Life begins to decline, it is normal for the barrier to be formed slowly."

"So why did you call me over now?"

The clan leader turned around and looked at him solemnly, "You should know that I have been training you to be the next clan leader since you were a child."

"You should know that I have no interest in managing the tribe, and I am not very willing to be a witch doctor."

The chief coughed lightly, his back slightly bent, "My health has not been very good in the past few years, and I really have no strength left... Considering that the orcs of the tribe respect you, it is most appropriate for you to be the chief."

Qing Lingyu's face became more and more pale, "What happened?"

The clan leader sighed, "Since your aunt left, she has not returned and there is no news. There was no movement in the past few days, but I was able to sense her location in the past two days. This time, I have to go."

Qing Lingyu pursed his lips. If he had not been a couple with Manman, he would probably think it was unnecessary. After all, with Aunt Si's identity, there would be no problems in the mermaid tribe. At most, she would be imprisoned. But after becoming a couple with Manman, if he put himself in her shoes, he would feel that such a thing was really unacceptable. He would make the same decision.

"I can ensure that the tribe does not fall into chaos while you are away, but I cannot be the chief."

The clan leader waved his hands helplessly, "You can go now. I am too useless. I have not been able to play a good leading role for so many years. If I had done a good job as a leader, you would have been influenced by me. How could you not have any ideas about this position?"

Qing Lingyu curled her lips slightly, "Pretending to be sympathetic and provoking me will not work on me. I'm leaving first. Remember to let me know when you leave."

Seeing his back as he left, the clan leader was stunned for a moment, then he gave a helpless laugh and said, "Old man, this kid of yours is just like you."

After the competition, Lin won without any suspense. Hu San fell to the ground and Lin raised his hands to accept everyone's cheers.

Just then, suddenly.

"Be careful!" an unknown orc shouted.

Lin dodged at an extremely fast speed, and then kicked hard, and Hu San flew far away and fell on the stage, continuously spitting blood.

"Tiger Three!"

Millie stepped forward anxiously.

Hu San pushed her hand away and tried to stand up, but he couldn't.

"He even launched a sneak attack. This Tiger Three is too insidious!"

"What's the point of being insidious? I still can't beat Lin. But how come Lin has become so strong now? I remember that Lin just awakened his innate power a year or two ago. How come he has become so strong not long after becoming a couple with Zhou Manman?"

……

When Lin heard this, his happy expression paused.

My heart is beating like a drum and thunder.

Subconsciously, he looked at the orc who said this.

When the orc met his gaze, he immediately smiled in a flattering manner.

Lin felt relieved. This orc looked stupid, so how could he see anything? Thinking that Qing Lingyu obviously possessed such strong strength, but no one knew about it, he suddenly realized that he had to hide his strength in the future.

He immediately changed his expression and put on a calm look. When he saw the little female coming over, his eyes lit up. He was about to run over, but then he adjusted his expression again.

Experts are all profound.

Zhou Manman got thirty energy stones and was extremely happy. However, Yu was still talking to the clan leader, so he came over first. When he saw the look on Lin’s face, he immediately became worried. Did he not win?

Why does Lin have a bitter face, as if he is neither smiling nor crying?

He immediately said, "Let's stop here. You don't need to send me off. I can go there by myself. Thank you."

The orc scratched his head with a red face and was about to say something when Zhou Manman had already left.

Zhou Manman walked quickly to Lin's side, looking at him here and there, "How are you, are you okay? You're not injured, right? It doesn't matter if you've never fought before. After all, Hu San travels all over the country often, so he has experience in actual combat..."

An orc walked by, supporting the unconscious Hu San.

Zhou Manman said blankly, "Maybe he has experience...

He watched them walk away, then angrily stepped on Lin's foot, "What are you doing? Why are you crying so hard after winning? You scared me to death!"

Lin, who thought he had a cool and profound expression, said: "..."

Seeing Manman walking away angrily, Lin immediately followed her and put his arm around her waist from behind, "Oh my, Manman~"

"Look at that Hu San. I beat him so hard that his hands are all red. Look, look."

Zhou Manman stopped and looked at it carefully. She found that it was really red. "Then I'll rub it for you."

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Manman pulled Lin to sit aside, and Lin happily watched the little female blowing and rubbing his hand.

It doesn't matter whether it's profound or not, it's none of his business.

Look at Xiao Mi and Qing Lingyu, which one of them is not pretending to be dead, and which one of them is more loved by him.
