Chapter 251: The Other Side Of The Village Head.
In the Hunting Tiger Tribe, there was an elderly with a dignified look and temperament of power even without being angry while his status seemed high. Although he also did not wish the Mighty Bear Tribe to win, he also could not allow an outsider to challenge on behalf of the Ancient Spirit Village. That did not conform with the ancestor's rule.
"That's right, an outsider cannot challenge on behalf of the Ancient Spirit Village and cannot stay at this place for a long time."
In the Mighty Bear Tribe, the oldest elderly also spoke. He was a High Elder of the Mighty Bear Tribe with a very high status. In terms of age, he was much older than Shangguan Cheng Ya.
Shangguan Cheng Ya's gaze was tranquil as she swept her gaze passed the two elderly from the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe. Then she calmly stated: "I have already said that this young man is no longer an outsider."
"Not an outsider……"
When the entire square heard this, they were secretly astonished. Suddenly, whisperings could be, heard from all around.
Even the people from the Ancient Spirit Village were also incomparably confused as they did not know the meaning of the village head's words.
"Yi Su, this young man has already acknowledged this old lady as his grandma, so he is my Shangguan Cheng Ya's grandson. Therefore, he is naturally not an outsider anymore." Shangguan Cheng Ya responded.
"Grandson……"
The entire square was dumbfounded and abruptly in an uproar.
"This………"
"Haha, Yi Su is indeed already the people of our Ancient Spirit Village."
The people of the Ancient Spirit Village was briefly stunned before someone laughed loudly and was incomparably happy.
After Su Yi was slightly astonished and confused, the corner of his mouth curled up in a smile as in his heart he had already somewhat regarded himself as a member of the Ancient Spirit Village.
"Cheng Ya, this is a little too far-fetched!"
"This indeed does not conforms with the rules!"
The dignified elderly from the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the High Elder from the Mighty Bear Tribe glanced at Shangguan Cheng Ya. Even though their gazes seemed a little fearful to Shangguan Cheng Ya, this indeed did not conform with the rules.
"How is this not conform to the rules? Can it be that I, Shangguan Cheng Ya, wants to acknowledge a grandson still have to seek for your approvals?"
Shangguan Cheng Ya's initially tranquil eyes abruptly drastically changed as she looked at the dignified elderly and the High Elder of the Mighty Bear Tribe with an appearance of vowing not to give up as she said: "Come, you guys shall tell me, how is he not one of my Ancient Spirit Village people when I have acknowledged him as my grandson. If you guys don't tell me clearly by today, I will not be, done with you guys. Don't think that the Ancient Spirit Village is easy to bully just because the village head is an old lady!"
"This…………"
Looking at Shangguan Cheng Ya that suddenly became mad, the dignified elderly and the High Elder from the Mighty Bear Tribe glanced at each other as they felt very helpless and bitterly smiled.
Shangguan Cheng Ya was easy to bully? That was definitely a joke. Who did not know that this Shangguan Cheng Ya was hard to handle while her strength just had to be powerful too?
After she became the village head of the Ancient Spirit Village, the Hunting Tiger Tribe, and the Mighty Bear Tribe had suffered many losses.
Especially thirty years ago, for some of the elderly of the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe, the scene was still vivid in their minds.
Thirty years ago, the juniors from the Ancient Spirit Village, Hunting Tiger Tribe, and the Mighty Bear Tribe had a conflict and alarmed the seniors. Shangguan Cheng Ya, this woman, had just become the village head of the Ancient Spirit Village, yet she insisted that the Ancient Spirit Village was in the right.
The Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe were naturally unconvinced, and their leaders came out to talk.
Only, their leaders had not said a few words when they were beat the crap out of them by Shangguan Cheng Ya on one against two in front of everybody.
In the end, wherever Shangguan Cheng Ya was around, the two leaders would definitely not appear.
"You guys quickly speak. Come, all of you tell me, how is he not one of my Ancient Spirit Village people when I have acknowledged him as my grandson? Can it be that you guys are saying that I, Shangguan Cheng Ya is not the people of the Ancient Spirit Village? If you guys cannot tell me a reason by today, I will definitely not be polite with you guys!"
Shangguan Cheng Ya stared at the dignified elderly from the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the High Elder from the Mighty Bear Tribe with an appearance of denouncing their crimes publicly and vowing not to give up while the aura on her body slightly fluctuated, indistinctly causing the atmosphere in the entire square to also tensed up.
"Grandma Shangguan, this……"
Su Yi was so surprised that his jaw almost fell. He did not expect that the kind and gentle Grandma Shangguan to actually have this side of her.
Seeing the elderly's reaction of the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe, they were seemingly very dreadful and afraid of Shangguan Cheng Ya.
At this moment, Shangguan Xi Wei, Shangguan Chen Feng, and the rest of the younger generation were also absolutely dumbfounded.
They had also never seen this side of the village head granny.
"Cheng Ya, this indeed somewhat does not conform with the rules."
The dignified elderly of the Hunting Tiger Tribe felt very helpless with an expression as though he wanted to cry, yet there were no tears, along with a feeling like a scholar was always wrong when he was in front of a soldier.
"You can acknowledge him as your grandson, but challenging on behalf of the Ancient Spirit Village, this…………there is no such precedent!"
The High Elder of the Mighty Bear Tribe felt very gloomy and somewhat afraid. After so many years, Shangguan Cheng Ya's hot temper did not seem to have changed.
Most importantly, he knew distinctly that Shangguan Cheng Ya's might, was unquestionably not to be trifled.
"Okay, I will also not make things difficult for you guys, since there is truly no precedent case, but the ancestor's rule did not say anything about it too."
As she watched the two elderly's reaction, the aura on Shangguan Cheng Ya's body slightly became calmer as she said: "Why not like this, Yi Su, is now regarded as one of my Ancient Spirit Village people, so he naturally has the qualification to challenge. However, there is no precedent case, so my Ancient Spirit Village will take out some items. If Yi Su failed his challenge, then for one hundred years, the Ancient Spirit Village will not participate in the once every ten years competition. But if Yi Su wins, everything will be as per normal!"
"Not participate for one hundred years……"
Listening to Shangguan Cheng Ya's words, the expressions of the entire people in the square changed.
The ones that had the hugest reaction was, of course, those strong elderly cultivators of the Ancient Spirit Village, Hunting Tiger Tribe, and the Mighty Bear Tribe.
They distinctively knew what it meant for the Ancient Spirit Village to not participate for one hundred years.
Not participating for one hundred years meant that the differences between the Ancient Spirit Village with the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe would get further and further away.
The Ancient Spirit Village not participating for one hundred years also meant that for the next one hundred years, the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe would lose a giant competitor.
In the future, for every ten years, the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Mighty Bear Tribe only had to deal with one competitor, which widely increased their chances to win.
"Grandma Shangguan……"
Su Yi was also shocked. If he lost, the Ancient Spirit Village would not participate for one hundred years. The price to pay was too huge as this was betting on the future of the entire Ancient Spirit Village.
"No need for any more words. Grandma believes in you."
Shangguan Cheng Ya's gaze trembled and shot Su Yi a slight smile as her eyes recovered back her kindness.
"But……"
In Su Yi's heart, he was, on the contrary, not afraid that he could not defeat Xiong Zhan and the Scarlet Searing Raging Bear, only that this bet was absolutely too big which also meant responsibility while the entire future of the Ancient Spirit Village unmistakably fell onto his shoulders.
"Can it be that you are afraid? Afraid that you cannot defeat Xiong Zhan? If you are afraid because of this, then how can you be a strong cultivator in the future?"
Shangguan Cheng Ya stared at Su Yi and interrupted his words. In her kind gaze, there was some strictness.
