Beng Ruo's ambition could be seen by Beng Yu, and naturally, Shuibing, who had met countless people, could see it too. Even Xiao Hong, who once single-handedly established Beauty Valley in the Golden Desert, could see it—but they simply did not care.

Having ambition is a good thing; it can urge Beng Ruo to better manage those people who originally belonged to Beng Yu in Three Stars Town, further easing the burden for both.

"Water Governor, here is this month's resource consumption list for Three Stars Town." Xiao Hong handed over a piece of Jade.

Shuibing is the Ruling Elder of Star Moon Tribe and also serves as the first Governor of Star Moon Tribe, so others call her Water Governor.

"Just leave it here, I'll take a look later!"

Calling out to the departing Xiao Hong, Shuibing spoke without lifting her head: "Next month I will return to Star Moon Tribe; I'll leave Three Stars Town in your care, do you have any issues?"

Xiao Hong slightly shook his head and said: "With Hua Xi's help, there shouldn't be much of an issue, these people are much easier to manage than the cultivators of True Realm."

Except for the difference in cultivation, the cultivators of Heavenly Gift Realm indeed lack experience in intrigue. Even if they do have some, to Xiao Hong it's merely child's play.

"Yes, although it's a fact, we can't take it lightly!"

"Pay attention to Beng Ruo and Luo Shan, the leader of the Sunset Tribe descendants. Also, there is a newly joined small settlement with a person named Di Hua you should watch out for."

"Di Hua? Is she a threat?"

Xiao Hong was confused, wondering how a native from a small settlement could compare to the mentioned two?

"Not quite, but she managed to bribe the guards who led them here. Although her methods are immature, they are quite good compared to others. You can nurture her a bit; Three Stars Town is just the beginning, you will not stay here forever," Shuibing shook her head.

"I understand, I will keep an eye on her. If she truly is promising and loyal to us, it's worth nurturing."

"Yes, do as you see fit!"

Walking out of the somewhat gloomy study, Xiao Hong glanced at the tightly closed study door with some pity.

Ever since Shuibing were rumored to be controlled by Meng Ze, her position in Star Moon Tribe had become awkward. Although she was the first Governor, due to others' doubts, Chen Jiuge decided to send her to Three Stars Town to avoid suspicion. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Xiao Hong couldn't imagine what kind of suspicion and obstacles Shuibing would face regarding the orders she would issue upon returning to Star Moon Tribe as Governor in a month.

"But nowadays, the Star Moon Tribe isn't as pure as it once was!"

However, one cannot blame others; with the passage of time, plus the living examples of Meng Ze and Jialouluo, those like Bai Li, who have been in the Daluo for a long time, are not very eager to return to the True Realm either.

In Heavenly Gift Realm, further progress seems possible; no one wants to waste time in the True Realm, let alone deal with the emergence of the life span catastrophe, making no difference between the True Realm and the Heavenly Gift Realm; both have life span limitations anyway.

Despite the limitation of immortal power in Heavenly Gift Realm, it doesn't mean cultivation is impossible, and proving one's Dao through strength results in greater combat power, though it is comparatively more challenging.

But the Heavenly Dao in Heavenly Gift Realm doesn't rigidly restrict false breakthroughs like in the True Realm, making breakthroughs more likely in the Heavenly Gift Realm.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts, Xiao Hong instructed two passing Patel Guards: "Have someone summon Di Hua."

"Di Hua, Lord Xiao, is it the Di Hua from Di Shi settlement?" one of the guards carefully asked.

"Di Shi settlement? These are now fellow tribesmen of Star Moon Tribe; don't say such things in the future!"

"But this Di Hua is quite famous; even you all know!"

"I remember you were transferred here earlier this month!" Xiao Hong expressed curiosity.

The two guards exchanged a glance; one tried to explain: "Lord Xiao, we know because of the recent conflict!"

"Is it regarding that struggle over resource allocation?"

"Yes!"

Half a month ago, Xiao Hong and Shuibing conducted a resource allocation for the residents of Three Stars Town. To ensure fairness, they did not favor the first people to settle in Beng Yu's area.

Although the people in Beng Yu's area were displeased, it was merely dissatisfaction. After all, their rearing by Beng Yu had eroded their vigor long ago; as long as the allocated materials were enough to fill their stomachs, it was sufficient.

During this period, Luo Shan led over a thousand descendants of the Sunset Tribe hidden in Beng Yu's area and declared independence.

Luo Shan's move was the last straw that broke the camel's back. However, due to Luo Shan and his people's displayed cultivation being strong, almost matching Beng Yu, they lacked the courage to discuss Luo Shan and his people, instead blaming everything on the newly arrived small settlements.

Thus, a rudimentary yet brutal conflict began.

Facing oppression from large settlements, Di Shi and these small settlements could only huddle together for self-protection, but their retreat served to fuel the aggressors' arrogance.

Originally, they appeared as significant figures in the eyes of weaker settlements!

Holding such a superior attitude, the behavior of those people became increasingly excessive, eventually driving someone to the point of lashing out!

When they fought back, they realized something was wrong; the big figures in their eyes were mere paper tigers. Only a few broken bones and little blood were needed to scare them into tears and snot, akin to immature children!

Thus, their excitement grew, and the troublemakers from Beng Yu's settlement suffered miserably.

Following three days of constant beatings, the elites from Beng Yu's settlement couldn't endure further.

No matter how unruly, they were still their tribesmen, resulting in an escalation of the conflict, eventually involving the entire Three Stars Town.

Seeing this situation, Shuibing and Xiao Hong, who were observing, felt the time was right to intervene and suppress both sides, yet unexpectedly, the sides dispersed on their own.

Although this phenomenon was somewhat strange, since those like Beng Yu were returning from battles, Chen Jiuge had delegated many affairs, leaving them no time to care about trivial matters.

"So, the mediator of that conflict was Di Hua?"

"Yes, Lord Xiao, but how exactly she mediated, we don't know."

"Understood, summon Di Hua, tell him I have matters to discuss!"

"Yes!"

......

Star Moon Tribe, City Lord Mansion.

"Clan Leader, the expenses for forming the army are too large, and many lords are unwilling to hand over their elite warriors!" Akam complained bitterly to Chen Jiuge.

With Shuibing in a period of avoiding suspicion, Chen Jiuge has to personally manage the affairs of Star Moon Tribe.

Akam and others were drafted by Chen Jiuge for reinforcements.

Despite having served as a tribe leader, their abilities may be lacking, but they are not entirely ignorant of governance.

"They won't release them?" Chen Jiuge's eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

In this battle against Five Stars Tribe, Chen Jiuge was not stingy in sharing the rewards, splitting treasures almost equally among the rest besides the Secret Technique voluntarily offered by Aphran, which was already quite generous.

"Is it all of them, or only certain individuals?"

"Apart from Lord Jialouluo, the others did not agree!"

"Shuibing didn't agree either?" Chen Jiuge felt strange; he could understand why others wouldn't agree, as handing over their wealth wouldn't be easy, but why did Shuibing not agree?

Given her current situation, surrendering her elites should help dismiss others' suspicions and better reintegrate into Star Moon Tribe!

"No matter, first draw our warriors from our own forces and form a corps for Xing Yan's side!"

"But......"

Akam felt distressed; forming a corps of ten thousand soldiers requires resources beyond imagination, considering even large hunting teams like those of Three Lives Tribe may have dozens to hundreds of members. The thought of the resources needed for ten thousand made Akam's heart twitch.

"Do as I say; just a mere army of ten thousand soldiers' resources; I can handle it!"

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

"Strange, why wouldn't they agree?"

After Akam left, Chen Jiuge's eyes showed confusion; after forming the ten-thousand-strong corps, those elite warriors are essentially still part of their own forces, providing capable individuals that can be further supported, easily achieving control of a full corps; isn't that nothing challenging?

"Seems I will have to personally pay a visit!"
