Chapter 413

"That young master of the Stone tribe is too much. Before we came, I heard that he was different from ordinary members of the Stone tribe, but I didn't expect him to be the same."

"Sect leader treated him as a friend, but he abandoned us like a pair of old shoes."

The girls chattered, still angrily discussing Shi Jian's attitude.

In their eyes, Gu Chen had suffered a great injustice, and as girls, they started to complain about Shi Jian's wrongdoings.

"Brother Shi has always been a gentle and refined person, and his way of thinking is very special. Don't misunderstand him."

Gu Chen sighed, taking the initiative to explain to Shi Jian.

He still remembered how Shi Jian had helped him many times, and his grand dream. Such a kind and righteous person would not easily change his mind.

"Brother Gu, why are you still speaking up for him?" Zhao Rou could not help but ask, feeling that Gu Chen was too lenient towards his friends.

Gu Chen smiled bitterly. The girls had only seen Shi Jian's unreasonable side today, and that was their first impression. It would be very difficult to change their minds.

"Let's think about what to do next."

Ghost King helplessly stopped the girls' discussion. Three women made a show, and there were eight of them by Gu Chen's side. If they continued to criticize Shi Jian, it would not end until the day after tomorrow.

What they should consider now was whether to stay in Western Desert and try to persuade him, or to leave for Northern Plains as soon as possible.

Ghost King's words made everyone's expressions turn ugly. In the end, they could only look at Gu Chen.

Seeing that it was impossible to form an alliance with Western Desert Stone tribe, perhaps leaving as soon as possible was the wisest choice.

Gu Chen did not reply. He also did not know what to do.

"Overlord."

At this moment, a voice came from the ground.

"Who is it?"

Everyone's expressions changed. They had not noticed someone sneaking up!

The yellow sand in front of them swirled, and quickly turned into a stone man. It was the Stone tribe leader, Shi Cangfeng!

"Senior, why are you here?"

Gu Chen was surprised. As the tribe leader, even if he wanted to summon them, he did not need to come personally, right?

"Don't take my son's words too seriously in the main hall."

Shi Cangfeng looked at Gu Chen and sighed.

Seeing that his attitude was amiable and not aggressive at all, everyone looked at each other.

In particular, the Ghost King was extremely shocked. Didn't this Stone Clan leader have some conflict with the Qing Lin Killing God when he was young? Why was he treating them with such respect?

"What's wrong? Are you not used to me being polite to you?"

Shi Cangfeng snorted coldly when he saw everyone's reaction.

The Ghost King came back to his senses and smiled bitterly. "I heard that Clan Leader Shi and our Celestial Court's Senior Qing Lin had a grudge. I thought you …"

"Did you think that I would teach you a lesson so that you wouldn't be able to return?"

Shi Cangfeng mocked. Ghost King was speechless.

"Qing Lin and I did have some conflicts when we were young, but I don't hate him. On the contrary, I don't admire many people in my life, but he is one of them. "

Shi Cangfeng's eyes revealed a look of regret. "I heard that he died in Huangfu Wuji's crusade against the Celestial Court. I even felt sad for him. After all, he was an indomitable person. Back then, he only had a mortal body, but he dared to challenge me. I originally wanted to fight him again, but I didn't expect that we would be separated forever. "

Shi Cangfeng's words surprised everyone. They didn't expect that the Stone Clan leader would have such an attitude towards the Qing Lin Killing God.

Gu Chen's mind wasn't on this. He looked at Shi Jian's father and asked seriously. "Senior, can you tell me why Brother Shi seems to have changed into a different person?"

Shi Cangfeng looked at him deeply. "A while ago, my son represented the Stone Clan to congratulate the new Middle Earth Emperor's ascension ceremony, hoping that the two clans could live in peace and understand each other."

Gu Chen nodded. This was the Shi Jian he knew. He had been working hard for the two clans to understand each other for a long time.

"However, when he arrived at the imperial capital and visited many members of the Huangfu Clan, he was repeatedly humiliated."

Shi Cangfeng's eyes grew cold. "The Huangfu Clan doesn't even see the Stone Clan as human beings. They only treat us as a lowly clan! They made fun of my son many times, making him eat human food. You may not know this, but to the Stone Clan, eating human food is like you humans eating feces! "

Shi Cangfeng's words weren't elegant, but they were very vivid.

"My son was kind. For the sake of the two clans, he forced himself to eat human food. He spoke humbly, but the Huangfu Clan always took pleasure in making fun of him."

"In the end, when he met the third son of the Huangfu Clan, Huangfu Ren, he said that the Stone Clan was lowly and unworthy of eating at the same table as him. My son's guards couldn't take it anymore and fought with them."

"My son was in Luoyang. That was their territory. In the end, the bodyguard who had grown up with him died in Luoyang. After being humiliated, he returned to the Western Desert disheartened!"

When Shi Cangfeng finished, Gu Chen and the others fell silent.

The eight women who had been badmouthing Shi Jian were speechless and sympathized with Shi Jian's experience.

They didn't think that he would be treated like this by the Huangfu Clan. No wonder he treated humans like this.

"Jian 'er returned to the Western Desert. When the entire clan learned of this, they were filled with righteous indignation. If I hadn't tried my best to stop them, they would have sent troops to the Nine States."

Shi Cangfeng was both angry and helpless. "My son has been kind since he was a child. His dream is that humans and the Stone Clan can coexist peacefully, whether in the Western Desert or the Nine States."

"In the past, I always thought that his thoughts were childish and unrealistic, but in reality, I silently supported him. He is a strong-willed person, but in Luoyang, his heart was completely cold. Once a person's heart is cold, it is very difficult to recover. "

"So don't take his attitude towards you too seriously. He usually doesn't treat his friends like that."

When Shi Cangfeng finished speaking, Gu Chen was completely silent.

He felt sorry for Shi Jian, but he was also angry that there were scum like the Huangfu Clan in the human race.

Shi Jian was the most virtuous person he knew, but he was humiliated like this!

"Senior, what should I do to make Brother Shi believe that humans aren't all like that?"

Gu Chen murmured.

Shi Cangfeng shook his head. "I don't know. Ever since Jian 'er returned, he has been very quiet. When I speak to him, he doesn't respond."

"We Stone Clansmen have a rough appearance, but we are actually very sensitive. Jian 'er is usually very magnanimous, but he is actually the most traditional of Stone Clansmen. His heart is sensitive and fragile."

Gu Chen didn't speak. At this moment, he seemed to be able to empathize with his friend's sorrow.

Shi Cangfeng looked at the Ghost King and the others. "You want to form an alliance with my Stone Clan. Actually, I have this intention. Times are difficult, and my Stone Clan is relatively weak. Only by working together can we survive. "

"However, the problem right now is not how much help you can bring to my clan, but that a large portion of my clan has already lost confidence in the human race."

"They are sensitive because they feel that they are discriminated against by the human race. No matter what, they are unwilling to form an alliance with the human race. And the crux of this all lies with my son. So only by solving my son's problem can you have a chance of forming an alliance. "

Shi Cangfeng pointed out the crux of the problem. Everyone looked at each other.

"The hardest thing to cure in this world is probably a mental illness!"
