Chapter 32: A Clever Scheme to Eliminate Suspicion
Nan Qinghuan also is not timid, "That's right, this Wolf Fang is something I carry with me; a few days ago when I came here it was stolen. Ying, you should know exactly where I come from; I have nothing to do with those Beastmen."
"Clan Leader, Sister Qinghuan is not a spy; she is a good person, she saved A Tu."
Little A Tu spoke up for Nan Qinghuan, and Ying's sharp gaze turned to A Yue, "Just because of this Wolf Fang, you say Huaner is a Rongdi person?"
A Yue saw that Ying actually didn't believe her; she was a bit frantic but held herself back, "Ying, have you forgotten? Last time the Rongdi sent people to the Tribe to inquire about matters, the thing they used to communicate was the Wolf Fang. That Wolf Fang was found inside the Cave where you live. Nan Qinghuan is the spy; she should be killed by your own hand."
"That's laughable, A Yue, you keep saying I'm the spy of the Na Shan Tribe; I ask you, are you very familiar with spies?"
"What did you say?"
"Since you say that such a thing happened last time, that someone from the Rongdi Tribe used the Wolf Fang to communicate and you discovered it, then if I am a spy, why would I place the Wolf Fang inside the Cave for you to find? I'm not announcing to the whole Tribe that I am a spy; are the Rongdi that foolish?"
These words left A Yue speechless, but she didn't want to admit defeat, "Nan Qinghuan, you can't argue; you approached Ying to spy on our Tribe's affairs."
"You're wrong, I never approached him; he is the one who wouldn't let me go."
"You…"
The meaning is clear: Ying wouldn't let her leave, not that she approached him deliberately; she can use this to clear her spy identity.
"Enough, A Yue, you've said enough; Huaner is not a spy, I believe her."
"Sister Qinghuan is not a spy; Rongdi people only eat our Tribe members, they wouldn't save our Tribe members."
Axi also stepped in to support Nan Qinghuan, and the Tribe members listening seemed to find this reasonable, "A Yue, you must have misunderstood Oum; Oum rescued our female last night, and also rescued A Tu; she cannot be a Rongdi person."
"Yes, A Yue, that Wolf Fang is just a misunderstanding."
"Old Clan Leader, you didn't say it like that just now; how did you…"
"Shut up, A Yue, return the Wolf Fang to Huaner."
Hearing this, A Yue glared fiercely at Nan Qinghuan, grabbed the Wolf Fang and threw it at her; Nan Qinghuan instantly reached out and caught it, and upon seeing it was indeed the piece she had lost, she immediately treasured it in her palm, "This Wolf Fang was a birthday gift from my mother; A Yue, are you deliberately slandering me?"
"I didn't."
"You did. Everyone in the Tribe saw it last night: A Yue was reprimanded by me inside the Cave, forced to kneel and admit her mistake. She must bear a grudge against me, so today she deliberately used the Wolf Fang incident to slander me. If I can't explain the origin of the Wolf Fang, I will be killed by Ying."
These words made the Tribe members whisper among themselves, seeming to think Nan Qinghuan's words made sense, "A Yue, you cannot slander Oum."
A Yue saw that Nan Qinghuan actually knew her motive, and the Tribe members still wouldn't believe her, so she hurried to explain, "It's not like that, Ying, Clan Leader, you trust me; I am the tribe's Shamaness, how could I harm the Tribe? Ying, have you forgotten? Your sister was eaten by the Rongdi, and A Mu of Dashan was also eaten by the Rongdi. Our Ying Tribe and the Rongdi are enemies. This woman is from the Na Shan Tribe. Ying, you can't be fooled just because her skin is fair, or because she's beautiful; she is…"
"Shut up."
