Chapter 219: News of Another Nomadic Tribe

"Alright, everyone go eat meat for me."

When Leng Xiao finally brought the meat, it felt as if the Priest and the others were about to get to the point: Yun Li, clutching a few snake hatchlings, was throwing them one by one into her own feeding bowl.

Soon after, Ji Xuan returned here, bringing the well‑fed eagle hatchlings.

"Why didn't Jicheng come over?"

Cooperating with the Youbuluo is no small matter; the Priest even thought he would come over together with Ji Xuan.

"He ran into something; he'll come over later."

As Ji Xuan said this, the basket holding the eagle hatchlings in his hand had already been handed to Leng Xiao.

Leng Xiao took the basket, then also received two male snake hatchlings that Mu Qing had seized, and then sat down outside the door.

The actions of Yun Li and her family were noted by the You Priest; he glanced at Ke Si, saw his expression calm, his eyes not even looking at Yun Li and the others, his hand propping his chin, eyes slightly drooping, a posture that seemed like he was impatient after listening to a lot of nonsense.

Was he truly letting go and not caring, or did he know he cared but couldn't accept it, and therefore simply pretended not to see it?

The You Priest knew that his constant attention to Ke Si's affairs was a bit of meddling, but after all, when he was courting his sister, Ke Si had watched a good drama with him for a long time, and later, because he and Ke Si's sister became Mate Bonds, he thoughtlessly grew distant.

Thinking of this, the You Priest couldn't help feeling exhilarated at seeing the current Ke Si, yet also a bit irritated.

The Priest observed the You Priest's distraction and Ke Si's impatient demeanor.

However, whatever they are, as long as they don't affect the two tribes' important matters, the Priest won't say a word about them.

"What is it?"

He asked Ji Xuan, "Is it troublesome?"

Ji Xuan shook his head, "The Priest will know in a moment."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Li; Yun Li sensed his gaze and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

What is it? Does it involve her?

Ji Xuan tapped the plain water in the bowl and wrote a name on the table: Moluo.

Yun Li was startled; at this moment, why would Moluo go to find the tribe chief, could it be that they intend to discuss that transaction with the chief?

Openly, such a transaction indeed needs to be discussed with the tribe chief, but given Moluo's observational skill, she should have already realized that she is the main person in charge of the tribe's external trades.

So did something happen?

Still puzzled, Yun Li, upon hearing the Priest and the You Priest resume the earlier discussion, quickly shifted her attention to them.

On the other side, after Jicheng heard Moluo's words, he fell into a long silence.

It turned out that the nomadic tribes roaming the continent not only seek rare items from various places to bring to the few great cities for exchange, but also scout remote areas for larger tribes lacking abundant local resources and relay the information.

If it weren't for hearing some news from those beastfolk from the north, Jicheng would still be skeptical about what Moluo just said.

Now, even though he still clings to the hope that Heiyan Shanmai likely lacks anything the outside beastfolk need, Jicheng does not want to gamble the lives of his tribe's thousands of beastfolk on the assumption that others will not invade here.

More importantly, Yun Li and the Priest are not so optimistic about the incoming beastfolk, and they have influenced Jicheng's perception of them.

Therefore, after the silence, Jicheng began to thank Moluo, "No matter why Lord Moluo told me these things, I still have to thank you for telling me so much, allowing me to see more clearly the true nature of those nomadic tribes."

"As I always say, how you view those distant beastfolk is the tribe chief's own business; don't take everything I say at face value."

"After all, to you tribe chiefs, I am probably just another outsider beastfolk."

Moluo merely gave a faint smile at Jicheng's thanks, indicating that gaining the tribe chief's trust was just the second step of his plan for the upcoming trade with Yun Li.

Because even the female Yun Li, no matter how high her status in the tribe, still cannot bypass the current tribe chief and exchange items without hesitation.

To simplify matters and to be able to leave here this morning, Moluo didn't mind revealing some facts that others didn't understand.

"Of course, but Lord Moluo is seen by us as a very reliable beastfolk, and that's a fact."

Jicheng laughed brightly, "Come to think of it, hasn't Lord Moluo been wandering the Market and Small Flat Mountain these past few days?"

"If you want to make a trade with us that others can't, feel free to come to me, or A Li as well; she's most familiar with these matters."

"It so happens that Lord Moluo also knows her, so I suppose if you discuss a trade, it should go smoothly."

Jicheng wasn't a fool; this beastfolk clearly was the type with plenty of experience, and such a beastfolk couldn't just 'kindly' provide them with so much useful information for no reason.

Unless he has something to ask for, whether a female or something else.

Yun Li is a clever beastfolk, and with Axuan by her side, the two of them together can handle the male in front of them.

Thus Jicheng's words were spoken sincerely.

Moluo, seeing this, had a flash of smile in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, if I have time I will indeed trouble Yun Li Adult and Young Master Ji Xuan."

Hearing that, Jicheng burst into a hearty laugh, "Go ahead, I trust Lord Moluo won't disappoint us."

If he disappoints them, the few Blue Rank Beastmen in the tribe aren't just for show.

Moluo, hearing this, left with a smile.

And after Jicheng and the others left, they didn't immediately go to the Priest to relay what the two had just said to the Priest and Ji Xuan.

Because the Youbuluo's beastfolk were still there, even though the two tribes had formed an alliance, they would still prioritize taking some important information for themselves.

"Chief"

The beastfolk guarding the gate outside was called in by Jicheng, then after receiving orders he went out, and soon returned to tell Jicheng:

"Earlier, the few outsider beastfolk we were watching got into a slight clash with Yun Li Adult at the Market today, and they were driven down the mountain by Yun Li Adult."

"Yun Li Adult also sent people to keep watch over them, and to stop them if any abnormal movement occurs."

Yun Li had a clash with those outsider beastfolk?

It had just happened that afternoon, and Jicheng only learned of it now, but trusting Yun Li, he waved his hand at the reporting beastfolk and said:

"Hmm, I understand. We'll follow her instructions. If anything's wrong, send someone to inform us."

The beastfolk nodded, then mentioned another matter.

"This afternoon another group claiming to be from outside Heiyan Shanmai, a nomadic tribe of beastfolk, arrived; Leng Xiu has already gone to make contact, but we haven't heard more about those beastfolk yet."

"Arrived this afternoon?"

Jicheng furrowed his brows and said, "Send someone to the Market to find Leng Xiu; if he knows anything, have him come over."

"Yes!"

The beastman answered, and after a short while left the room.
