Chapter 346 Dark 1
Ming Nanjin walked up to An Yi without hesitation. His steps were steady and firm. His eyes were as calm as water as he looked quietly at An Yi who was half-kneeling on the ground.
Although this person's face was obscured by the shadow and could not be seen clearly, the dim light was like a mysterious veil that concealed An Yi's true face.
But just that familiar figure made Ming Nanjin instantly recall the past.
In an instant, past memories emerged in his mind like a tide. Those fierce confrontations, tense chases, every scene was so clear.
This person was the one who had hurt Bei Ming Mo the last time he fought with him. That fierce conflict seemed to be still before his eyes.
At the same moment, An Yi also recognized Ming Nanjin, and a wave of nervousness surged in his heart. His heart suddenly beat, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
He knew very well that the last fight was a misunderstanding. The conflict that should never have happened now weighed on his heart like a heavy stone.
Now, facing Ming Nanjin, he could only wait silently for his clan elders to speak, feeling uneasy in his heart, like a small boat swaying in a storm.
"An Yi, this is the true heir of the Bei Ming family. From now on, you must follow him." The voice of the Anke tribe elder was serious and solemn, and every word seemed to carry an order that could not be disobeyed.
The sound echoed in the quiet room, striking everyone's heart.
An Yi looked up at Ming Nanjin in front of him and was shocked. It was over. The person he had followed Bei Ming Mo's instructions to assassinate turned out to be the real head of the family!
Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and he felt extremely regretful. Is it too late for him to apologize now?
This thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately denied it. At this moment, any words of apology seemed so pale and powerless.
An Yi was extremely panicked. He wanted to pretend to be calm and kept his expression peaceful, but his shaking hands and slightly twitching mouth completely exposed his inner fear and anxiety.
Yan Zeyu and the other three who were standing behind Ming Nanjin also saw the changes in An Yi. At the beginning, this mysterious man stood straight like a sculpture, exuding a cold aura.
But when he heard the words of the Anke tribe leader, his whole body shook, as if struck by lightning. It seems that he hasn't forgotten what happened last time, Yan Zeyu thought to himself.
Yan Zeyu got angry when he remembered the last time this person caused Ming Nanjin to be injured and unconscious. The anger in his heart was like a burning flame, burning more and more vigorously.
He didn't expect that there were still a few elders here, so he shouted directly: "It was you last time, right? You caused Jin to be injured and unconscious in the hospital!" His voice was sharp and angry, full of accusations and questions.
As soon as Yan Zeyu said this, the faces of the two elders present changed. Their expressions instantly became solemn, and their eyes were filled with surprise and worry.
"An Yi, is this true?"
The Anke tribe leader's voice was old and powerful, and it was filled with suppressed anger and deep disappointment. His eyes were so serious that people dared not look directly at him. He stared closely at An Yi, who was lowering his head, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Yes... Chief." An Yi was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything more. He just lowered his head and spoke in a voice as soft as the buzz of a mosquito.
His body was trembling slightly, as if he was waiting for a storm to come. It seemed that he was really finished this time, he thought desperately.
The elder was also very angry. His chest was heaving violently and his face was flushed red. He quickly asked Ming Nanjin: "Nanjin, how are you now?"
His voice was full of concern and anxiety, and his eyes were full of worry. The elder did not expect such a thing to happen, and his heart was filled with self-blame and guilt.
If something really happened to Ming Nanjin, he would not be able to face his ancestors even a hundred years later.
"I'm fine, elder."
Ming Nanjin's voice was faint, like the calm surface of a lake without a ripple.
He was not angry about what Yan Zeyu said. Instead, he felt it was just right, and it was also part of his plan.
He was secretly pleased with himself that everything was going as he had expected.
When he was in the hospital, he asked Jiang Shiwen to find a wheelchair, just to act pitiful in front of the elders in order to gain more sympathy and support.
But the way to get in here was too difficult, so Ming Nanjin had to give up this plan. Unexpectedly, Yan Zeyu accidentally told the story, which was exactly what he wanted.
When the elder of the Anke tribe heard An Yi admit this, his face instantly turned livid, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he said even more angrily: "An Yi, you know our rules. We only protect people, not hurt them. You should know this best!"
His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing in the spacious hall, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.
The words of the Anke tribe elder were like sharp needles, piercing straight into An Yi's heart.
An Yi lowered his head even more, his chin almost touching his chest. He didn't dare to look up at the elder's eyes that were filled with disappointment and anger.
But he will not evade what he has done. He has his own responsibilities and courage.
"Yes, elder, I know that I was wrong in this matter. I will punish you as you wish."
An Yi clenched one hand into a fist, the joints turning white from the force, and placed the other hand in front of him in a palm-shaped position, his voice firm and sincere.
His body trembled slightly, not because of fear of the impending punishment, but because of deep regret for violating the clan rules.
The elders of the Anke tribe sighed, and that sigh was full of helplessness and exhaustion. They were all old now, and the passing of time had taken away their youth and energy, and they were unable to do many things.
Ever since Bei Ming Mo took over, the Anke tribe has been helping Bei Ming Mo do various things behind the scenes, and he knows more or less about these things.
But under the circumstances at the time, Bei Ming Mo was the acting head of the family, and they had to obey Bei Ming Mo's command. Even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only choose to compromise.
But he didn't expect that his tribe member, and the one he trusted the most, violated the first family rule, which was not to hurt other people for any reason. He could not forgive this.
This family rule is the cornerstone of the Anke tribe's existence, their beliefs and principles. Once it is broken, the foundation of the entire tribe will be shaken.
"This matter will be handled by Ming Nanjin. After all, the person you hurt is the Patriarch of the Beiming Family. I cannot make any decisions for you."
The elder of the Anke tribe sighed, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and vicissitudes.
