Chapter 94: The Old Clan Chief Returns

After learning of this, Ji Xuan also frowned, but he did not rush to explain; instead he ordered someone to quickly go ask about the situation.

"The information I received indeed says that two days later Youbuluo first sent the old clan chief, then led two females to Youbuluo's territory.

But we have not yet seen the old clan chief; the Tribe would not let Youbuluo simply abduct the Tribe's females."

He is also worried that father and the other old beastmen will use this chance to have Youbuluo quickly send their own tribe's beastmen over, and then suppress the matter with a misunderstanding.

Meng, hearing Ji Xuan's words, felt both angry and helpless.

What angered him was that today's incident was likely no accident, because the Silver Eagle Tribe is capable of such deeds.

What made him helpless was his own weak strength; even hearing Ji Xuan openly admit it, he lacked the courage to punch it out.

Nevertheless, an angry expression inevitably showed on his face; the Silver Eagle Tribe was truly over the line!

"So, does that mean the idea to capture those females likely came from you?"

Leng Xiao only felt his face throb painfully, regretting that he had previously thought highly of Ji Xuan, believing the Silver Eagle Tribe's chief and those old beastmen were a bit muddled, but at least Ji Xuan would not treat females as objects to be sent away.

Consequently, hearing Ji Xuan admit that the Silver Eagle Tribe could have done this today, Leng Xiao would find it strange if the Young Master claimed he knew nothing.

It might be that Ji Xuan is a beastman the Silver Eagle Tribe deliberately uses to prevent them from causing trouble.

Leng Xiu also cast a doubtful gaze at Ji Xuan; the Silver Eagle Clan Chief's words were still fresh in his mind, and he had to suspect that after their front foot left in the morning, the Silver Eagle Tribe already thought of completing the transaction early.

Ji Xuan fell silent for a moment, then said, "I will go ask for clarification; if it truly is the Tribe's arrangement..."

Ge interrupted the Young Master's words, saying, "Young Master, it is clearly the Youbuluo's fault; they seized the opportunity while we were unprepared to abduct those females. How could the chief and his men possibly know that Youbuluo's beastmen would brazenly raid like this?"

Hearing this, Meng hurriedly said, "Since it's the Youbuluo's fault, Young Master, could you send people to rescue Ya and the others?"

"They simply don't like Snake Beastmen at all; not everyone, like Leng Xiao's females, can accept Snake Beastmen."

Not to mention the Youbuluo, which is filled entirely with Snake Beastmen.

Mu Qing, the only Snake Beastman present, remained silent, yet his gaze involuntarily followed Meng's words to Yun Li's face.

Yun Li holds no prejudice against Snake Beastmen, but she also does not intend to promote the idea that they are less terrifying than rumors suggest.

Because when she puts herself in the females' shoes, she imagines that if a cockroach- or mantis-bodied insect beast liked her and wanted a Mate Bond.

She herself would likely—no, she would absolutely refuse to form a Mate Bond with such an insect beast.

So, in fact, they are not wrong at all; who hasn't been frightened by something, knowing the other dislikes it, yet stands on a godlike perspective to urge others to view Snake Beastmen objectively.

Forget it, Yun Li could never do such a thing.

Meng's request was not immediately granted by Ge and the others; they simply stood there in silence, each looking at Ji Xuan. The meaning was crystal clear: only when the Young Master speaks will they go rescue anyone.

Yun Li then spoke, "What is the Young Master hesitating about? Since it's not yet time for the Silver Eagle Tribe and the Youbuluo to trade, and now females have been abducted by Youbuluo beastmen, it is certainly the Youbuluo's fault.

Can't the Young Master immediately send people to rescue them?"

Ji Xuan looked at her, lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and said, "You're not wrong. A Jiu, Ge, you both call for people..."

Before he could finish, the beastman who had been sent to scout whether the Patrol Team had received any strange orders suddenly rushed in.

"Young Master, the old clan chief has returned!"

That sentence, like a bolt of thunder from the heavens, made Ji Xuan's eyes instantly sharp, and Ge and the others showed shocked expressions.

Indeed, it was truly a matter the Tribe tacitly allowed the Youbuluo to do.

Leng Xiao's complexion turned thoroughly gloomy, "So it was your tacit approval!"

Leng Xiu's mouth curled into a cold smile, "Looks like we don't need the Young Master's help."

The Youbuluo released their old clan chief, which indicates that the Silver Eagle Tribe's transaction with them has already begun.

Regardless of whether Ji Xuan is an informed beastman, this moment is no longer trustworthy for them.

Mu Qing said to Meng, "You go back; we will find a way to rescue the people."

If the Silver Eagle Tribe's beastmen are untrustworthy, they can only rely on themselves.

Meng's face darkened for a moment, and Ge and the others also felt uneasy.

But this matter was likely tacitly approved by their Tribe, so they found it hard to say anything.

At most, when Mu Qing and the others attempt a rescue, they will secretly help them from behind.

As long as the Youbuluo does not discover that they were the rescuers, it won't count as the Silver Eagle Tribe betraying its deal with the Youbuluo.

Ji Xuan noticed Ge and the others covertly glancing at him; his brows, which had been tightly knit because of Leng Xiao and Leng Xiu, relaxed, and he said to Meng:

"No need to worry; tonight I will go with Mu Qing and the others to the Youbuluo to look for those females.

We will not disrupt the Tribe's transaction with the Youbuluo, but we will rescue the people."

Before Leng Xiu could say anything, Meng's face immediately showed a relaxed expression, "Alright! I'll go back and tell them now."

Leng Xiao, seeing how quickly Meng's expression changed, felt a bit frustrated.

Mu Qing is now a Blue Rank Beastman; why does his speech carry no weight like Ji Xuan's? Is it because he is the Silver Eagle Tribe's Young Master?

Mu Qing also frowned, but thinking of the females awaiting rescue, he said little more.

Yun Li, watching Meng rush off, then asked, "Do we have to wait until night to look for them? If they have an afternoon, could they force those females to do something?"

"They won't."

Ji Xuan cut her off, "The Youbuluo's Snake Beastmen aren't that foolish. If they wanted the females to stay willingly, they wouldn't resort to such coercion."

Yun Li didn't believe it, "People have already been abducted; if they want to force those females to stay, making them enter a Mate Bond and become pregnant is the best method."

Females are always soft-hearted toward offspring.

If she weren't so weak, upon hearing the news she would immediately propose a trip to the Youbuluo.

But she didn't, because the Youbuluo's act of abducting females made her distrust even the Youbuluo beastmen like Chang Yue.

Even with her Beast Husband's protection, she refuses to go into danger herself; otherwise, if she were forced to stay in the Youbuluo, she wouldn't even have time to cry.

Upon hearing this, Ge and the others all showed shocked expressions.

After all, it was their first time hearing that males could use such a method to retain females, since the Tribe's females are quite fierce and not the type to bow down for offspring.

But the females of the Flat Mountain Tribe are mostly gentle and depend on males for sustenance; if Yun Li's words are true, those females would indeed be in great danger.
