Abatai is the chieftain of the Zhaerzi, as well as a Gu Shan chieftain conferred by the Da Rong Royal Court.
Compared to the Tumoge Clan, the Zhaerzi are much stronger, boasting nearly three thousand able-bodied men. Compared to Zha Yan, Abatai is much younger, just over thirty this year.
Zha Yan's dislike for the Zhaerzi stems from two main reasons. On one hand, Abatai, the junior, shows great disrespect toward him, a senior; in their past encounters, he has felt Abatai's arrogance.
On the other hand, the Zhaerzi have been growing increasingly powerful, far surpassing the Tumoge Clan.
It should be known that ten years ago, the Tumoge Clan was much stronger than the Zhaerzi. At that time, Abatai's father was the chieftain of the Zhaerzi and always considered Zha Yan a brother.
However, ever since Abatai became the chieftain, the Zhaerzi have grown stronger and now far exceed the Tumoge Clan in power.
