The older man’s face was pale and tired, but his eyes were sharp.
Rong Ye, who had been standing nearby, suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. A bad premonition.
He looked at the younger man carefully.
Then he spoke in a low voice.
"Don’t tell me... you are Lan Yue’s mate."
The moment the name left his mouth, the younger man’s eyes widened.
He rushed forward instantly and grabbed Rong Ye by the shoulders.
"Lan Yue? Yes! Yes, that’s her name! She’s my mate! Where is she? Have you seen her?"
He was so fast and desperate that Rong Ye almost attacked him out of instinct. But at the last moment, he controlled himself.
The man’s aura was not hostile. There was no evil intent. There was only anxiety and desperation in his voice.
He truly just wanted to find his mate.
Still, Rong Ye felt confused.
Lan Yue had been with them for a long time now. She was even close to giving birth. Yet her mate had only found her now.
The distance between them must have been extremely far.
But there was something else.
Hadn’t Lan Wei said that her mate was dead?
So who was this man?
Rong Ye narrowed his eyes.
"How do you prove that you’re really Lan Yue’s mate?" he asked. "Show me."
The younger man did not hesitate. He immediately pulled open his clothes and revealed his chest.
There, a beautiful mark of a blue-tailed fish could be seen.
"It’s Lan Yue’s mark," he said quickly. "If you’ve met her, you’ll recognize it."
He leaned a little closer.
"You can check the scent. It’s hers."
Han Jue stepped forward to confirm it. He leaned in slightly, trying to sense whether the mark truly carried Lan Wei’s aura.
But before he could finish checking... The older man suddenly moved.
He stepped past everyone with shocking speed. In the next second, he rushed straight toward Su Mingxuan.
Before anyone could react...
Bang!
His fist slammed hard into the tribe leader’s face.
Su Mingxuan staggered back, completely stunned.
And so was everyone else.
The entire tribe was stunned.
No one had expected the older man to suddenly rush forward and start beating their tribe leader. His fists were fast and heavy, landing one after another on Su Mingxuan’s body.
But what shocked them even more was Su Mingxuan himself.
He did not fight back, nor did he dodge or block any moves. He simply stood there and took every punch.
"Has the tribe leader lost his senses in the grief of losing her both daughters?"
"Tribe Leader!" someone shouted in alarm.
The younger man was also shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Father, no! You can’t do that!" he shouted.
He quickly rushed forward and grabbed the older man’s arm, trying to pull him back.
On the other side, Rong Ye’s face turned dark with anger. His fists clenched tightly. He stepped forward, grabbed the older man by the collar, and pulled him back.
His eyes burned with fury.

Then everything clicked in Han Jue’s mind.
