Chapter 2929: I actually have someone in mind

Facing Hui Yu's doubts, Bai Yu said irritably.

"He didn't sleep."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, Hui Yu froze for a moment, then fixed his gaze and realized this guy's complexion was off—it had turned black.

"Are you sick? You just came back and already killed someone?"

He immediately turned and angrily scolded Bai Yu, "What are you guys doing coming back this time? You're undercover agents!"

"Do you know how an undercover operative should act? You need to stay low-key, but you—just returned two days ago—dare to kill someone, and an Elder at that; are you trying to defect?"

Hui Yu also felt his scalp tingle; with an Elder killed, the tribe will surely launch a thorough investigation, and who knows—pulling out the radish might bring up the mud, exposing them as well.

Facing Hui Yu's agitation, Bai Yu naturally understood his concern and immediately explained.

"I had no choice; that guy was ordered to investigate the Human Race, and as soon as he returned he came straight to me threatening me—he must have gathered some evidence. To protect me, my wife had no choice but to poison him to death."

"Wait…… you're saying this person was killed by your wife?"

"Yes, otherwise I couldn't have done this so silently."

"If that pot of tea was brewed by him, this guy definitely wouldn't drink a sip, so he couldn't possibly have been poisoned."

After hearing this explanation, Hui Yu only felt his mind in a tangle, as if listening to a legend.

"Hold on, let me sort this out—this guy was sent to investigate the Human Race, then returned and threatened you."

"Yes."

"Faced with the threat, you originally had no choice but to grit your teeth and accept it."

"Yes."

"Then it was your wife who couldn't stand it, so to protect you she poisoned him to death?"

"Yes."

"No, does your wife even have that capability?"

Bai Yu's spouse—what kind of person is she? Hui Yu knows her all too well; calling her a vase would be flattering.

All dolled up, flashing like a peacock displaying its tail, with zero real talent inside—how could such a waste kill anyone? And yet she killed an Elder of the Feather God Tribe? You're talking nonsense.

However, Bai Yu glared at him and snapped irritably.

"How could she not? Are you looking down on my wife?"

"No, I didn't mean it that way……"

"Then what do you mean? I saw this with my own eyes—how could it be false? Let me tell you, my wife is just low-key, not showing off."

Seeing Bai Yu get worked up, Hui Yu hurriedly spoke up.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that—what should we do now?"

He hadn't even finished speaking and already got worked up; Hui Yu hastily changed the subject.

Right now an Elder is dead in our hands—this is a major incident; how we handle the aftermath is crucial.

When they got down to business, Bai Yu also became serious, and the two immediately began discussing in the secret room.

"That guy said earlier that as soon as he returned to the Shenjie, he came straight here without telling anyone—he probably wanted to first get a hold on me, then decide whether to report based on the situation."

"Hmm, if that's true it would be somewhat better, but this statement can't be taken at face value."

"I know; right now the most critical thing is the corpse—no matter what, we must dispose of it, and do it without anyone noticing."

"That's troublesome; it's too dangerous for the two of us to handle it ourselves."

"Then who should we ask? We can't trust people from the tribe; how about letting those Shadow Demon Tribe members come?"

"No good; although they have the information Xu Jie gave, they've just arrived in our Feather God Tribe's Shenjie, unfamiliar with the surroundings, making them more likely to mess things up."

"Then what should we do?"

After much discussion, the two hit a snag on the corpse disposal issue.

"The corpse definitely can't be left behind, but if we two do it ourselves, it's too dangerous; and if something goes wrong, it could very well pull the whole body into disaster."

"Even asking people from the tribe—even those nearby—frankly, the two of us don't dare trust them now."

After thinking it over, Hui Yu suddenly spoke up.

"How about letting your wife come?"

Bai Yu praised his wife so highly that she must be reliable; letting her come seems like a good choice.

But as soon as those words were spoken, Bai Yu refused outright without even thinking.

"What are you joking about? My wife doesn't have that ability—she's just an ordinary woman."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, Hui Yu froze—weren't you just saying your wife stays low-key, not showing off? Now she's just an ordinary woman?

"You dare to kill a person, but you won't even handle a corpse?"

"Are you messing with me?"

Staring fixedly at Bai Yu, Hui Yu asked dumbfounded; Bai Yu responded in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

"No, this must absolutely not involve my wife; she doesn't understand these matters."

"Then what do you suggest?"

Bai Yu glanced at Hui Yu, then his eyes lit up as he probed.

"How about letting your wife…………………"

"Don't even think about it."

Hui Yu reacted even faster, cutting off Bai Yu before he could finish and refusing outright.

"You're joking—your wife is an ordinary woman, so mine isn't? Besides, this has nothing to do with my wife."

"The person was killed by your wife; my wife doesn't even know about it."

Seeing Hui Yu's equally resolute expression, Bai Yu also said no more; after a long silence, it was still Bai Yu who had thought of something, and he immediately looked delighted and said.

I actually thought of someone.

Who?

Hui Yu was curious, and Bai Yu didn't beat around the bush, lowering his voice to say.

My wife's elder brother, Elder Yun Yu.

Huh???

Which good-for-nothing?

Hearing that name, Hui Yu involuntarily furrowed his brows; he naturally knew Yun Yu.

A total good-for-nothing, with no real ability; over the past few years, Bai Yu had worried himself sick for him, spending most of the savings accumulated over many years just to secure this fellow's Elder position.

Even so, Elder Yun Yu's position was still attained with difficulty.

Moreover, even though he has now attained it, he could be removed at any time.

What's more, this fellow's Elder position is purely a nominal title, with no actual authority whatsoever—it's basically just a mascot.

That's why, upon hearing that name, Hui Yu feels such disdain.

In response, Bai Yu didn't object, but spoke solemnly.

He is the most suitable candidate; he has the Elder title, and even without real authority, it's convenient for him to act. Besides, as you said, who would constantly watch a good-for-nothing? So having him handle this matter is best.

That's how it was said; upon hearing this, Hui Yu seriously considered it, and finally raised his head to ask.

Are you sure this person is trustworthy? Don't turn around and sell us out.

That's absolutely impossible; he is my wife's elder brother, and we are family—he would never betray me.

The things in this world…………………

Besides, who doesn't know that his Elder position was obtained thanks to me? It's long been stamped with the mark of my faction.

All right, since you're confident, then go summon him.

All right.

There's no better choice; we can only pick a general from among the short people, and make do with it.
