Chapter 66: Go Find the Young Master

Ge keenly realized that this was very likely a key question in whether or not he could become A Li's Beast Husband.

He pondered for a long time before giving an answer he considered perfect:

"If I were the Young Master, I would arrange those females as bait, and when those Snake Beastmen released our males, make a move on them. That way the females wouldn't need to be sent away, and our Tribe wouldn't give others grounds for criticism."

Seeing the female's dazed expression as she stared blankly at him upon hearing his answer, Ge thought he had passed this test. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief inwardly, and then began thinking about what to bring Yun Li tomorrow.

"So it could be done this way after all~"

Yun Li lowered her eyes slightly, unable to make sense of it in her heart. Since there was a way like this to protect those females, why had Ge acted from the start as if those females could only be sacrificed?

Was it because he didn't care?

No matter how precious females were, before the collective interests of the Tribe that mattered more, they still had to yield.

"Ge, thank you for the things you've been bringing these past few days. It's just that we'll probably be busy with those females' matters for the next few days. You're a beastman of the Silver Eagle Tribe, so you'd best not come over for now."

In just an instant, Yun Li suddenly made a decision.

But Ge heard that she wanted to help those females, and his eyes filled with puzzlement as he looked at Yun Li and said, "You want to help them? Don't you want to stay in the Silver Eagle Tribe anymore?"

Yun Li frowned. "Why can't I help them? If I help them, will the Silver Eagle Tribe drive us away?"

"No."

How should Ge explain it to her.

"Right now all the beastmen in the Tribe know that the Youbuluo's Snake Beastmen have set their sights on them. If you go over at this time, everyone will think you're going to help those females..."

"I do want to help them."

Yun Li looked at him with a smile and said, "Ge, have you forgotten? They were brought over by my Beast Husband in the first place.

Now that something has happened right after they arrived at the Silver Eagle Tribe, even if we don't go over, once they hear the news, they'll still come find us."

Unless they had already blocked the news and had no intention of letting those females know at all.

Ge's eyes dodged Yun Li's questioning gaze for a moment, but he still offered her a word of advice. "This isn't something you should involve yourself in. Your Beast Husband already saved them once. Aren't you living well here now? There's no need to meddle in this troublesome matter."

If the beastmen who were eagerly awaiting their kin's return found out, they would likely have a problem with her.

Yun Li didn't dwell on this topic with him, simply telling him, "If you think my helping them will bring you trouble, then you can stay far away."

Only, having dodged this once, there would be no need to come find her again afterward.

Hearing this, Ge's hand resting on his knee suddenly clenched tight, and his voice grew somewhat urgent. "I didn't mean that. It's just that for this matter, you really shouldn't meddle..."

Before he could finish, Leng Xiao interrupted him, "Enough, A Li already said it. If you're afraid of trouble, then don't come find A Li.

Mu Qing also spoke up, "A Li wants to help those females also because she herself is female and can't stand your behavior of using females in trades.

Not to mention that A Li and those females were once females of the same Tribe. If you let her watch with her own eyes as those females are traded away like prey, then A Li wouldn't be A Li anymore."

This time's matter was entirely different from the beast tide matter, because back then the Clan Leader was there, and there were other Qing Rank Beastmen who could make decisions.

Even if Yun Li wanted to speak up and help, she would be disdained for being a female who had never experienced any major matters since childhood, inserting herself in front of them.

And this time, if those females and the females' partners hadn't received this news, then the only ones who could help them were Yun Li and her Beast Husbands.

Ge fell silent before them for a good while, and finally, as if compromising, gave them a very important hint.

"The matter of conducting this trade with the Youbuluo is entirely the Young Master's responsibility this time. If you want to help them, you'd best go find the Young Master."

After saying that, Ge glanced at Yun Li, then turned and left the courtyard.

"What does he mean?"

Leng Xiao frowned, his face full of puzzlement.

"What else could he mean?"

Leng Xiu's fingers gently traced the rim of the bowl, his voice steady as he said, "Their Young Master perhaps has ideas different from the Tribe's beastmen."

When Ge revealed the matter of that trade to them, he had already begun pondering Ge's purpose in coming today.

Since they wanted to block the news, why not keep it hidden from them?

Don't forget that their whole family of beastmen and those females and the females' partners used to all be one Tribe. After learning of this, even if for the sake of their own peaceful life they didn't want to wade into these murky waters, passing along a message would still be very simple.

Yet Ge had told them anyway. Could Ge really be the kind of beastman who would abandon the Tribe's collective interests for a female he'd only known for a few days?

It wasn't as if everyone was like Leng Xiu and Leng Xiao, the kind of males who were moved by lust.

Leng Xiao shot a glance at his brother. "I'm talking about their Young Master. What are his intentions toward A Li?"

He clearly paid close attention to their family's A Li, yet never gave A Li prey or other things like other males did to show himself off.

Could it really be as he thought—that he was doing it for his younger brother?

"What do you mean by that? Their Young Master has designs on A Li?"

Mu Qing had been with Yun Li the whole time since coming back last night, so he didn't know about the things they had discussed last night.

"It wouldn't go that far. I'm afraid the two brothers are just having a conflict."

Leng Xiu felt that Leng Xiao was overthinking it anyway. Since Young Master Ji Xuan hadn't even sent their A Li any prey, apart from the first two days, it was his younger brother who came to find A Li afterward, and only then would Young Master Ji Xuan come over to take a look.

Young Master Ji Xuan's constant attention to A Li was probably because of his younger brother.

If it were Leng Xiu seeing his own younger brother very interested in a female, he would also pay attention to that female.

Back when they took a fancy to A Li, wasn't it because Leng Xiao was curious about why Mu Qing would like a disheveled A Li, and in the end they were themselves stunned by A Li?

Leng Xiao gave a soft scoff. "His relationship with his younger brother isn't exactly good, is it?"

He wasn't blind. He could see that whenever Ji Xuan and his younger brother were in the same space, the atmosphere always turned awkward.

Besides, he had also inquired from other beastmen that the Clan Leader favored the younger brother and had been suppressing Young Master Ji Xuan all along.

Under those circumstances, it would be strange indeed if the two brothers had a good relationship.

Yun Li had been pondering how she could help those females, and upon hearing these words, she glanced at Leng Xiao and said:

"They're half-brothers with the same father but different mothers. How could their relationship possibly be good!"

Moreover, Ji Chen always gave her the feeling of a poisonous mushroom growing in a dark corner—dazzling to look at, but in reality, touching it would easily bring harm.

She also didn't know what Gong Mei meant when she said many females in the Tribe would like him. Had she taken a dislike to Ji Chen from the very first glance?

Same father, different mother?

Not full brothers?

Leng Xiu and Leng Xiao, one after the other, frowned and looked over, saying:

Mu Qing's face also showed a trace of surprise, "How did their father become the clan chief?"

If he can't even accomplish the 'loyalty' task for a female, can such a male still become clan chief?
