Chapter 213: Going to See the You Priest

For some reason, Leng Xiu always felt he couldn't quite keep up with his female's pace.

Clearly, they should be talking about using Moluo to figure out the backgrounds and intentions of those outsider beastmen, but his female seemed to have already turned her thoughts to something else.

That evening, when Leng Xiu brought this up with the other Beast Husbands at home, Mu Qing pondered for a moment, then looked at Ji Xuan.

After sensing his gaze, Ji Xuan thought briefly and then nodded.

"If you and A Xiao have time tomorrow, go talk to the Priest. Maybe then you'll understand where you and A Li differ."

These words made Leng Xiu frown instantly. Seeing this, Ji Xuan could only remind them, "A Li yearns for the outside world. You should know that, right?"

So they wanted the two of them to go listen to the Priest's description of the outside world?

A flicker of discomfort passed through Leng Xiu's heart, but it wasn't directed at Mu Qing and the others—it was displeasure at what he himself lacked compared to them.

Leng Xiao listened on the side, utterly confused. "What are you all talking about? Out of the blue, why do you want me and my brother to go see the Priest?"

Mu Qing glanced at Leng Xiao, who still had no sense of crisis, and a trace of helplessness crossed his face. "Hasn't A Li been getting close to a male named Moluo these past few days? He's a male from outside, and from him, A Li has learned a lot about the outside world.

She's getting more and more curious about the outside world now. If you don't want to have nothing to talk about with A Li later, I think you and your brother had better go chat with the Priest.

He spent a long time outside before returning to the Tribe."

Mentioning A Li, Leng Xiao's expression indeed turned serious, but what he cared about most in Mu Qing's words was "A Li has been getting close to another male."

"Who is Moluo? We just got rid of Ke Si, and now another Moluo shows up?"

Mu Qing and Ji Xuan exchanged a glance, then Ji Xuan replied, "Moluo is a friend A Li just got to know recently. He and A Li aren't what you think."

Unlike Ke Si's ulterior motives when he approached Yun Li before, Moluo's intentions clearly weren't directed at their female, and he didn't seem like the kind of beastman who would stay long in the Silver Eagle Tribe for the sake of a female.

"Is that so?"

A hint of suspicion crossed Leng Xiao's face, but he didn't dwell on the issue. Instead, he brought up the matter of the You Priest having come by in the afternoon.

"Is it about those three cubs?"

Ji Xuan knew about this, because after the You Priest had come to the house today and didn't see Yun Li, he went to find the Priest.

Ji Xuan had already heard about it from the Priest. "Tomorrow, let's tell A Li about this and see what the You Priest's real intentions are."

"No matter what their intentions are, A Li won't agree to send the cubs to Ke Si."

Leng Xiao, having been the biggest obstacle when Ke Si and Yun Li were trying to form a Mate Bond, was naturally very clear on this.

Mu Qing frowned slightly upon hearing this. "They are A Li's cubs. They should stay by A Li's side."

He'd never heard of sending cubs to their birth father while their birth mother was still alive, unless the mother didn't want to raise them.

A look of contemplation flashed in Leng Xiu's eyes. "Let's tell A Li about this tomorrow before discussing anything else. The beastmen of Youbuluo probably aren't thinking of taking A Li's cubs."

If they wanted to take them, they'd have to ask if the four of them would agree.

"Mm."

Mu Qing and the others all responded, and then Ji Xuan brought up some arrangements for the Tribe. It wasn't until late into the night that their group chat among the four of them finally ended.

…

Yun Li had long been used to Mu Qing and the others occasionally gathering to talk at night. After all, there were many males in the house, and after spending time together, there were always some frictions and conflicts. Their nightly group chat was just a way for them to resolve family issues.

Of course, she was also well aware that all four of them had things they kept from her that they couldn't speak openly about—some personal, some official.

Just as she would always keep the secret that she wasn't the Original Owner, she wouldn't specifically demand that they tell her everything. As long as they didn't betray this family, everything could be discussed.

"The You Priest wants to talk to me about the cubs?"

Yun Li looked at Ji Xuan with a puzzled expression. "What did he say to you?"

"He didn't come to me; he went to the Priest."

Ji Xuan told the truth. "The Priest thinks they want to take one or two cubs to raise over at Youbuluo."

A displeased smile appeared on Yun Li's face. "They're dreaming. I gave birth to the cubs. Ke Si at most provided a few seeds."

"Cough, cough."

Leng Xiu choked directly at Yun Li's blunt words. Seeing his brother like that, Leng Xiao almost couldn't help laughing.

His brother's skin wasn't thin either, so why was he reacting so strongly to those words?

Ji Xuan didn't know what he was thinking of either, lowering his eyes slightly before lifting them again after a moment. "Then does A Li want to talk to the You Priest in person? I think he really wants to see you."

To be precise, he had come looking for her several times since arriving at the Silver Eagle Tribe.

But the You Priest never said what official business he had with A Li, only that he wanted to see her and talk.

Seeing how busy Yun Li was every day, Ji Xuan naturally put off their meeting with the excuse of "telling her when she's free."

"Let me think. Wasn't I supposed to go to the cliff this afternoon? I'll stop by the Priest's place on the way to see the You Priest."

The cliff and the Priest's residence weren't in the same direction, of course, but since they both liked quiet, the places they lived weren't far apart.

Seeing that Yun Li had no intention of going to the Youbuluo beastmen's lodging to find the You Priest, Ji Xuan guessed she didn't want to see Ke Si.

But Ke Si was, after all, the birth father of the three cubs. Even if things hadn't worked out between him and A Li, the cubs would one day find out that their birth father was Ke Si.

"As for Ke Si, Leng Xiao, go find him and ask what his opinion is."

It would be best if the cubs' birth father didn't share the same opinion as the You Priest.

After all, the You Priest's words could largely represent their chieftain, and their chieftain was also a relative of the three cubs. Even if he wasn't qualified to bring up raising the cubs, it would be hard to refuse a request to simply see them.

Since the alliance between the two tribes still existed, Yun Li's family had already had some unpleasantness over the Mate Bond with Ke Si. On other matters, unless necessary, constantly opposing them would easily deepen the conflict.

"Alright!"

Leng Xiao had just nodded in agreement when his brother's voice came from beside him. "I'll go too. We were planning to go talk to the Priest this afternoon anyway."

After they asked Ke Si, they'd go to the Priest's, and then they'd find out what the You Priest was really plotting.

"Mm, I'll also go to the Priest's when I have time this afternoon."

Once Ji Xuan said this, how could Mu Qing, after hearing it, be willing to miss the afternoon conversation between Yun Li and the You Priest? "Then I'll go over in the afternoon too."

Yun Li nodded. "Mm, let's leave it at that for now. I'm going to the Tribe's warehouse. Who's taking care of the cubs today?"

"A Xiao and I will take them."

Leng Xiu took over the task of bringing a few snake cubs.
