Barren and Long Ye had been raising children at home for so many years that they felt like they were growing fur. The moment they heard someone was looking for trouble, they couldn't wait!
"Kid, say that again. Who are you looking for here!" Barren's tone was exactly like that of a bandit leader.
Hei Ting thought this was the boss they were talking about. "Are you the boss?"
Barren neither admitted nor denied it. "It's the same if you tell me."
Hei Ting said "oh" and stated matter-of-factly, "I want to join Warrior City."
Barren, Long Ye: "..."
So they wanted to join. The two old fellows immediately lost half their spirit. Dare anyone come and pick a fight these days? It was really boring!
However, the attitude with which he demanded to join was so arrogant that they couldn't stand it!
Barren said with a forced smile, "Kid, not just anyone can enter our Warrior City. State your name and where you're from."
Hei Ting replied concisely, "My name is Hei Ting. What are the conditions to join Warrior City?"
"Hei Ting...?" Upon hearing the name, Barren and Long Ye found it familiar, very familiar!
Long Ye's mind worked faster than Barren's. He immediately recalled, "Hei Ting?! The fallen beast leader of the West Sea?"
Hei Ting was surprised instead. "You know me?"
"!!!"
So it was him! Barren grinned sinisterly. So this was the guy who bullied his precious granddaughter?
Hei Ting's eyes didn't miss the change in their auras. He frowned, ready to attack at any moment.
Barren sneered, "You still have the nerve to come to the East Sea?"
Hei Ting: "Why wouldn't I dare?"
Barren was amused to the point of anger. "Do you know whose territory this is? Speak, how do you want to die?"
Hei Ting frowned again. Hearing their tone, it seemed they had a grudge against him, but he didn't recall knowing them. "Do you have a problem with me?"
"Don't you know what you've done?" Barren was too lazy to waste words and started fighting.
Long Ye didn't join in, choosing to watch the fun from the side.
"What do you mean?" Hei Ting wasn't afraid of them, but this fight was infuriating and unclear!
Barren's treasured saber was still sharp, but he was no match for Hei Ting. After dozens of rounds, he was clearly losing. He roared at Long Ye, who was still watching, "What are you still looking at? Come help!"
Long Ye: "..." How shameless to ask for help in a one-on-one fight when you're old.
With another person joining, Hei Ting became angry. "Give me a reason. I don't remember offending you."
He wasn't afraid of fighting. Whether it was fighting for territory or excluding outsiders, there had to be a reason. These two clearly knew him and had a reason to fight him, but he didn't know that reason, which made him very angry!
Barren roared, "You bullied my granddaughter, and that's not considered offending me?"
The more he spoke, the more confused Hei Ting became. "Explain yourself clearly! Who is your granddaughter, and when did I bully her?"
Barren refused to tell him and arrogantly issued a threat, "How dare you bully my family! It's already generous of me not to go to the West Sea to settle the score with you. You still dare to come to the East Sea, truly walking into a dead end when there's a way to heaven, and throwing yourself into hell when there's no door to hell. Die!"
He unleashed everything he had learned over the years in one go. It was exhilarating!
The two of them didn't care about losing face. They attacked him together, determined to take down this young dragon beast from the West Sea!
Hei Ting's aura turned cold. While counter-attacking, he pondered. The opposite party claimed he bullied his granddaughter. Among the females he had captured over the years, only An An was from the East Sea...
So, was this old man An An's relative?
Barren and Long Ye's faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot. They were being pushed back steadily. It was a disgrace, the Waterloo of their lives. The two of them, working together, couldn't defeat one young man!
Feeling somewhat defeated, they wondered if all dragon beasts from the West Sea were this strong.
With two bangs, Hei Ting used his body to knock Long Ye into the trees below and whipped his tail against Barren's waist, sending him falling.
Then, he followed and landed where Barren had fallen and asked, "Are you An An's relative?"
Barren, already enraged from being beaten, became even angrier when he heard Hei Ting shamelessly call An An by her nickname. "An An is not a name you can call!"
This sentence validated Hei Ting's guess and made him understand why these two knew his name. It must have been An An who told her family. With this deduction, could it be that An An had been brought back to the East Sea?
Hei Ting asked excitedly, "An An is in Warrior City, isn't she?"
Barren's face turned incredibly dark. He warned in a low, sinister voice, "Kid, as long as I'm here, you won't get within an inch of An An!"
This statement was an indirect admission. Hei Ting couldn't control his joy. So An An was not in trouble; she had just come home...
"Where is An An? I'm going to find her."
Barren, Long Ye: "..." Very good, this kid just doesn't listen to reason!
Barren recovered and pounced again. Long Ye also pounced. They hadn't been beaten in a long time, and today they had to get their fill!
However, Hei Ting was no longer in the mood to fight. He turned and ran towards Warrior City, intending to find someone directly in the city.
During the fight, they had gradually moved away from Warrior City. Seeing the direction he was heading, Barren roared furiously, "Stop right there!"
"Long Ye, quickly go gather the guard team. Enemy attack!"
Hei Ting was full of anticipation but encountered heavy obstacles. Not only were there two dragon beasts blocking his path, but there were also thousands of guard beastmen. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't fight against hundreds or thousands of people alone.
He was severely injured and fled in a sorry state!
Although Barren and Long Ye had repelled the opponent, they were not happy. The two of them combined couldn't defeat one. They had lost completely. This young dragon beast was far superior to them...
Hei Ting didn't run far, casually finding a dirty, messy cave to hide in. As a human, he was covered in multiple serious injuries and bleeding, looking quite pathetic.
He remembered the last time he was this badly injured was when he trespassed into the territory of the savage beasts. He never expected to be beaten like this by the family of the female he loved.
Hei Ting was not angry but instead let out a laugh. Looking in the direction of Warrior City, he had only one belief: An An was his! https:/

At dusk, the group who had been on a picnic finally returned. Before they even entered the city gate, the guards hurried to Rete's ear and whispered something. Rete's expression became subtle, and he then whispered something to Wente. Wente's face changed several times.
Finally, they entered the city as if nothing had happened and went their separate ways.
As soon as she got home, Shu Yue asked, "What were you guys talking about outside just now?"
Wente glanced at the children who were eavesdropping and replied, "It's nothing. Today, a group of beastmen attacked the tribe, but Uncle and the others drove them away. I'm going to Uncle's to inquire about the situation."
Upon hearing this, Shu Yue was very surprised. "No way, someone dared to attack Warrior City? Are they tired of living?"
Wente sneered, hinting at something. "Aren't they tired of living!"
"Yue Yue, you guys stay home. I'm going to Uncle's to take a look."
Shu Ke felt that he could participate in this matter and said, "Father, I'll go with you."
Wente pondered for two seconds, then nodded. "Okay, we'll go together."
