Bai Ling ran back to question Lao Hei. She dragged her father to the cave where she lived and asked seriously, "Father, tell me, are you and the witch doctor..."

Lao Hei shook her hand off with a sullen expression, "Lingling! What are you suspicious of?"

Bai Ling paused for breath, "Father, I haven't finished speaking yet, and you said I doubted you, are you really..."

"Really?! Did you hear someone say that whether the witch doctor has an orc lover is none of our business? I just saw her lying on the road and helped her in. What the witch doctor did has nothing to do with me!"

Lao Hei interrupted her and showed an angry attitude of being wronged, which made Bailing wonder, was it really a misunderstanding?

"Father, since you said the witch doctor has nothing to do with you, then why do you still send food to the witch doctor every day? Why don't you let the male she's interested in send it?"

“…”

Lao Hei felt guilty, but he scolded her angrily, "Bai Ling, how could you say that? Don't you know how close the witch doctor is to us? She only cares about us. What's wrong with eating some food?"

Bai Ling was stunned by the scolding. It took her a long while to react. Tears streamed down her face, "Father, you are so mean to me..."

“…” Lao Hei paused.

The next moment, he softened his tone and said, "I'm sorry, Lingling. Father is really angry. How could you, child, think of father and the witch doctor together?"

"It didn't happen in the first place. What if you spread rumors and others believed it? What if the leader of the Warrior Tribe wants to kick us out?"

Bai Ling was frightened by Lao Hei's words and quickly shook her head, "Father, I'm not talking nonsense. I just came to ask you."

Lao Hei sighed helplessly, "You understand now, don't you? If you have any questions next time, remember to ask me first, don't let your imagination run wild. You can't tell the witch doctor about what happened today, or she'll lecture you!"

Bai Ling believed what Lao Hei said and acted cute. "I won't tell you. When Sister Shu Xin told me about the witch doctor's injury, I was really scared. I happened to be in your cave. Not only me, but Sister Shu Xin and Yue Yue also thought it was you, Father, and the witch doctor..."

"Oh no! It's bad! They won't tell the clan leader, will they? What if the clan leader takes it seriously?"

Bai Ling was so anxious that she paced back and forth.

Lao Hei's heart sank. "I guess I haven't had time to tell them yet. Lingling, go and explain to them! This is just a misunderstanding. The one with the witch doctor is another male, not me!"

Bai Ling was also panicked, "Okay, I'll go explain it right away!"

After saying that, he ran towards Shu Yue's house.

As soon as she left, Lao Hei hurried back to the cave to discuss countermeasures with the witch doctor.

…

Bailing's explanation left Shuyue and her sister baffled. They wondered with both laughter and tears why they had to tell the clan leader about someone else's affair.

Do you have so much free time?!

Shu Xin helplessly assured, "Don't worry, Bailing, we won't tell anyone."

Shu Yue also nodded, "Don't worry, Bailing, we are not the kind of people who gossip."

After getting their assurance, Bailing finally felt relieved. "That's good, that's good. I'll go back first."

"...We'll take you there."

…

Bai Ling realized something was wrong after she left. She clearly came to explain that there was nothing between her father and the witch doctor, so why did she end up asking them to keep it a secret?

I wanted to go back and explain it again, but then I thought better of it. Let it be a misunderstanding, as long as I don’t go out and tell anyone about it.

Bailing really believed in the Shu Yue sisters. Since they promised, they would definitely do it.

The witch doctor sprained his waist and needed to rest, so Baihu had to stop his plan and wait for the opportunity.
