Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3175: They Don’t Dare

Every last bit of food, regardless of its original owner, was surrendered and gathered in one spot. Even the disciples from prominent clans, who had already gathered all the available provisions, unsealed their storage bags and emptied their contents.

Following a consensus among several Family Heads, all the collected supplies were meticulously divided into equal shares and distributed fairly among everyone present.

Naturally, the individuals from the major clans who had arrived to provide aid required no portion of these supplies; they came prepared with their own sustenance. It was inconceivable that they would extend such generosity as to share their personal provisions with the wider group.

This significant undertaking was entrusted to Qing Qiushi, who was tasked with the crucial duty of allocating all the provisions.

"They possess such an abundance of supplies, why should we... ugh."

A flicker of resentment crossed the faces of some as they gazed at the substantial reserves of the major clans, and incipient words of protest began to form, only to be stifled as a hand clamped over their mouth by a person beside them.

"You would be wise to remain silent. Why exactly should they be obligated to share their provisions with us?"

"Precisely. It is already an immense kindness that they are allowing us access to the Saintess Sect's supplies. Cease your disruptive remarks."

"These major clans are primarily here to ensure the safety of their own kin. We are merely secondary concerns. If we can manage to depart this place alive alongside them, we should consider ourselves fortunate. Just stop talking."

Numerous rebellious sentiments were thus effectively suppressed.

The major clans had not held a blade to their throats, compelling them to participate in the Saintess Sect's ill-fated venture. They had come of their own volition and would depart under their own power.

This situation was already quite considerate. In a different scenario, one might have simply appropriated the supplies for their own people, leaving the remainder to perish in the unforgiving desert. Who would ever know the difference?

Indeed, some members of these major clans had exhibited an overbearing demeanor before; it wasn't as if they had never witnessed such conduct.

"If you are unwilling to contribute to the sharing of supplies, then swiftly depart. Do not jeopardize the well-being of the rest of us by creating a disturbance." Another voice interjected, directly addressing those who voiced dissent.

What if the major clans overheard these sentiments and were offended? What if they consequently ceased their provision of aid?

Although a select few possessed the capability to outmaneuver members of the Saintess Sect, they harbored no confidence in their ability to triumph in a confrontation against the significant numbers from the major clans.

Those few individuals who had sought to assert themselves were immediately silenced upon hearing the chorus of opposing viewpoints.

How could they possibly refuse the supplies? Their primary objective remained escaping the harsh realities of the desert.

Before the entire distribution of supplies could be concluded, the Family Head who had ventured into the Little Forest in search of water reappeared with his contingent.

"Did you manage to discover any water?"

Qing Qiushi, observing the Family Head's visibly joyful demeanor, inquired.

"Indeed, a source was found within. However, we lack sufficient containers to transport the water. A solution must be devised."

"There is no need for us to concern ourselves with that matter. As long as a water source exists, they are capable of resolving the container issue themselves." Qing Qiushi remarked, casting a glance toward the individuals queuing for supplies.

They were not present to solve every predicament. Their purpose was not to act as caretakers for a multitude of individuals.

Locating a water source was a considerable achievement in itself. The method of collection was their own responsibility, and perhaps they might even devise a more ingenious approach.

"When the time comes, escort them to the water source, and allow them to manage the subsequent arrangements."

"That approach is also acceptable."

The Family Head nodded, not particularly inclined to expend energy on devising a solution for acquiring numerous water containers, after all.

"You have already distributed the provisions? That was remarkably swift. Were there no complications encountered?"

"Hmm, they would not dare to cause trouble."

Qing Qiushi responded with a knowing, sardonic smile. Did these people truly believe no trouble would arise? Their apprehension was evident.
