Chapter 387: Cleverness Backfires on the Clever

Ying, after a moment of silence, looked at Na Yao and murmured, "What I mean is to kill Ma Ji and Ma Tian and cooperate temporarily."

Hearing this, Na Yao understood, "But Ma Ji said he also regrets it, wants to cooperate with you, he is no longer opposing us."

"Is that so? Did he really say that?"

"Exactly, he wants to see you. I came to find you to discuss this. You Su Tribe is very powerful and knows Witch Gu Art, not to be underestimated. Should we think it over first?"

Na Yao had his own thoughts; fighting You Su Tribe now is indeed not a good time. Of course, if we could make You Su Tribe live peacefully with them, that would be great. At least for now they don't want war; Winter is coming, the time to test each tribe has arrived, and no one wants war!

Ying thought for a moment, then furrowed his brow, "I'll go see him."

Here, Ying took Na Yao back to the Wolf Clan to see Ma Ji; he was weighing which of the two brothers could cooperate, who was more suitable to be his friend rather than enemy. When Ying arrived, Ma Ji was still bound to a wooden frame, and upon seeing him he was very pleased, "Ying, I have business with you."

That day he finally understood; he knew his brother would not come to save him, so after a long time he could only apologize to Ying and cooperate, perhaps he could salvage a life.

Ying saw that he had lost yesterday's arrogance, stepped forward and coldly glanced at Ma Ji, "Yesterday you didn't say that, did you?"

Ma Ji was very embarrassed, "That was yesterday. I've figured it out now. I don't want to deal with you; we can cooperate. I heard you prepared a Market street, it will open tomorrow, right?"

Ying's gaze turned to Na Yao, Na Yao nodded, "I told him."

"It was Na Yao who said it. I've thought it over; I won't oppose you. I'll cooperate with you. I can have my tribe members all join this Market street, and later they can come to exchange goods. What do you think?"

Ying heard this and sneered, "Ma Ji, when you asked Na Yao to deal with me and Rongdi, did you ever think you'd end up like this?"

Ying is not a magnanimous man; he is forcing Ma Ji to admit his mistake.

Sure enough, Ma Ji became somewhat displeased, "Ying, don't do that. I've already admitted my mistake; what more do you want? Let's cooperate. I have so many people in You Su Tribe; your street can certainly host many, even surpass Shanhai Yishi. What do you say?"

Ma Ji is clever; he knows his current situation is dangerous. He has been detained for a day, hasn't seen Cotton, and worries that his tribe has already abandoned him.

If so, what can he do? Therefore, to save his life and keep his position, he can only do this.

Hearing Ma Ji's words, Ying sneered, "My woman once told me a phrase; do you want to know what it is?"

Ma Ji, not understanding, frowned slightly, "What phrase?"

"What phrase, hm, once unfaithful a hundred times unnecessary, don't try to fool me. Actually I know why you say these words: you're afraid your brother won't save you, that he'll ignore you; you fear death, that's why you speak like this. When I release you, you won't watch my Market street succeed; you'll have people place a Curse, just like last time, right?"

Has Ying forgotten the last incident? If it weren't for Qinghuan stepping in to resolve that street matter, things wouldn't be so smooth now. Ma Ji must pay for his deeds!

Sure enough, hearing this, Ma Ji became angry, "Then how can you release me? Aren't you afraid of my…?"

"Look, Na Yao, this is his true face. Once I disagree, he will go crazy like this. Do you think I would agree?"

Na Yao also thought this man was too crazy; perhaps killing him is better. Maybe Ying is right; cooperating with his brother is better than cooperating with Ma Ji.

Since now his tribe no longer cares for him, this person seems useless.

He can be killed!

"So you even sabotaged the Market street; then you must die."

"Na Yao, you say the same. I truly wanted to live peacefully with you all; I really…"

"Not needed anymore; there are already people who want peace, we don't need you."

"What do you mean?"

Ma Ji's expression turned sour. What does Ying mean? What does 'we don't need you' mean? He is the Clan Leader of You Su Tribe!

Ying found Ma Ji laughable, "No, as long as we kill you, that's that. Your brother will replace you and cooperate with us. By the way, he promised to send me half of the Cotton, but he has conditions."

"Ma Tian…"

Ma Ji never expected his own younger brother would really…

His eyes burned with rage, nearly bleeding.

"Where is he, what did he say? Don't trust his words; even if I die, he still can't become Clan Leader."

"Whether he becomes Clan Leader or not is irrelevant to me; it's not that important. I only want your life. You are already useless, having lost your tribe's protection; you're not even a wolf. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want us to release you, you feign cooperation, then you'll keep causing me trouble. Ma Ji, I still understand you well, so I choose to cooperate with your brother. He has already approached me. As long as I kill you, half of the Cotton will be mine, hm. And you, you will be killed by me; your tribe cannot avenge you. With Ma Ji around, they will quickly forget you."

"No, don't, Ying, you must spare me, can you spare me? I won't dare again; as long as you don't kill me, I can do anything, really."

Ma Ji was thoroughly terrified; he never expected Ma Tian would come after him so quickly.

Ying doesn't want to get involved in the brothers' affairs; he only wants what he desires.

Now, with You Su Tribe's cooperation, the Market street has grown, and each tribe lives peacefully together, enjoying better days—that's what he thinks now.

Na Yao didn't expect Ying saw through Ma Ji completely; he was truly naive to think Ma Ji would truly live peacefully with them. Turns out he's a liar!

"Fine, you Ma Ji, you dared to deceive me. Then don't blame me. Bring them."

"Don't."

Outside came a group of tribe members, the strongest strongmen of the Wolf Clan, wielding sharp iron axes, as if they were about to eat Ma Ji.

"Grab him and kill him."

Tribal Conflict has always been brutal; nowhere is an exception.

As Ma Ji was taken away, he kept cursing Ying, "I curse your child to be a human ghost; you and Nan Qinghuan will never be together, haha."
