"No, actually, calling it a mission is somewhat of an overstatement. At its core, it's just an ancestral mandate passed down through generations without any real binding force."
Jiali shrugged, then took a sip of the strongly medicinal-scented tea: "Yet, this generational mandate is still faithfully adhered to by every member of the tribe even today. And those of us with the Blackskin lineage play a relatively more significant role."
"Is it the role of the Clan Leader?"
Ji Xiaoge squirmed in her seat as she asked, then accepted the tea Motan handed her and took a small sip, instantly being inspired by this tea, which tasted much like a 'medicinal tea'.
"Yes, every generation's Clan Leader must be from the Blackskin Family. If there are no suitable successors, some older, more stable elders are gathered for support. But in any case, the Clan Leader must have the surname Blackskin, which is also part of the ancestral mandate."
