After struggling in the apocalypse for ten years, Jiang Bai transmigrated into a farming novel as the scumbag villainess. At the start, she abused the villain's child, not only ran off with all...
When Jiang Bai returned, he looked at the pitch-black main hall and smiled slightly.
She had already devised a plan to deal with Li Kejun, and now he had no choice but to agree or disagree.
She was about to step lightly into the hall when someone called her back.
"Excuse me, young lady, how do I get to the guest rooms?"
That voice sounds somewhat familiar…
Jiang Bai turned around and saw Ayina standing under the tree, and was immediately shocked.
She stared at her for a moment, then walked towards her: "I know, I'll take you back now."
The two quickly walked side by side together.
"How did you get in? Where is your master?"
“Master came in with me. We wanted to come to find you earlier, but Lord Li Ke was watching you closely. Today, we finally found an opportunity while he was out of the clan.”
Ayina spoke quickly, and the two soon arrived at the guest room.
The lights were on in the guest room. Ayina opened the door first to let Jiang Bai in, while she stayed outside to keep watch.
Inside the room, Amu was sitting at the table. When he saw Jiang Bai enter, he smiled.
"I'm so glad to see you. How have you been these past few days?"
"Not bad, Li Kejun wouldn't dare to make a move against me at this critical juncture." Jiang Bai sat down opposite him, and he immediately pushed a cup of hot tea over to him.
"It's chilly at night, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Amu remained unhurried, showing no awareness that he was in enemy territory.
Jiang Bai took a sip and hurriedly asked, "How did you get in? Did you see Zhao Yi?"
“We saw him, and he was fine. We were trying to find another way to get in, but we happened to see that Mr. Li Ke was looking for a locksmith. I happen to know a little about locksmiths, so I agreed to come in with him.”
It turned out that the locksmith Li Kejun had just found was Amu. Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If you can't unlock that lock, Yuan Mo will be safe for the time being."
Amu looked up: "You don't have confidence in me?"
“Confidence! Of course I’m confident, but if you unlock this treasure vault, Yuan Mo and Li Kejun will be useless to it and will lose their lives. I’m thinking, could you please not unlock it so soon…”
Jiang Bai didn't want him to misunderstand, so she immediately told him about Yuan Mo's situation. She had a lot of confidence in him.
After hearing this, Amu raised his cup and laughed: "Aren't you afraid that Li Kejun will kill me in a fit of anger? Then I'll be the one in danger."
Jiang Bai was embarrassed: "Ah...me."
"I was just kidding. I have my own ways of dealing with Li Kejun. He can't do anything to me until I find a chance to escape. You can rest assured."
Amu stopped teasing her and glanced outside: "It's getting late, you should go back first. Even though Li Kejun isn't here, you still need to be careful."
"Okay, then you should be careful too."
"Um."
Jiang Bai said goodbye to the two in a hurry and went back to his room.
She now needs to think about how to tell her people about the clan tomorrow.
The next morning, Jiang Bai hurriedly went down the mountain.
She first asked some people to help call for others, and then gathered everyone in front of the tea stall.
She moved a table, stood on it, and when she saw that most of the people had arrived, she raised her voice and said, "As you all know, business is getting harder and harder these days. Nowadays, the clan is short of resources and money, and people no longer have extra money to buy things for entertainment. For example, the tea in my tea stall is rarely inquired about."
“You see me as generous, but you don’t know that there are many people outside who are even more generous than me. The streets outside are bustling with traffic and crowds of people. There is plenty of material outside, and many people don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I grew up outside, and only after returning to my tribe did I realize how hard life is for my people. As the holy maiden of my tribe, I have the responsibility to solve this problem of food and clothing for my tribe.”
When the people below heard that she was talking about a problem that had long troubled them, they immediately perked up their ears and became alert.
"What does this mean? Has Her Majesty thought of a way to solve this problem?"
As soon as the question was asked, the crowd below erupted in excitement, with one person after another opening their mouths to ask Jiang Bai for clarification.
Jiang Bai raised his head, gesturing for everyone to quiet down: "Since I've said this, I naturally have a plan. Our clan is currently facing a shortage of resources, and the most effective way to solve this problem is to open up trade routes with the outside world."
“Our clan has a long history of grudges with the outside world. Opening up to the outside world would be suicide!” Someone immediately jumped out to object.
"Of course we can't open it all. We only need to open the channels for the supply of goods. With the poisonous miasma forest, ordinary people won't pose a threat to our race."
Someone asked, "We need supplies from other tribes, but what supplies do we have to give them? We have no goods to exchange, so how can we have any dealings?"
Jiang Bai smiled calmly: "That's a good question, and what I'm about to say is the most important. Our Wu Clan is skilled in Gu magic, which includes poisonous Gu and medical Gu. Our exchange goods are our medical Gu. I will select a few people to accompany me on the first batch out of the mountains to prove the innocence of our Wu Clan to the world with medical Gu, so that the world can trust us again and allow us to have normal exchanges with the outside world!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd below erupted into chatter.
Jiang Bai took a deep breath and raised his voice again: "The outside world is not as terrible as everyone thinks. There is evil and good in the world. As long as we are sincere, we will eventually return to the world and live in harmony with people."
The situation of the Wu tribe is indeed dire, and the outside world has become the only way to save them.
"Can you guarantee your method will work? Can you guarantee our safety?" Some people were still worried. They had never left the mountains in their entire lives and were always wary of the outside world.
Jiang Bai paused for a moment before answering truthfully: "No, I can only promise you that I will do my best, but I cannot guarantee the outcome. If you are willing to trust me this once, this difficult situation can be broken. If you do not trust me and dare not take a gamble, then the Wu Clan will perish and have no chance of survival."
Jiang Bai doesn't make any absolute promises. Sometimes life is just that cruel. Even if you do your best, the result may still be unsatisfactory. Therefore, she would rather people have doubts than deceive them and casually promise them a fictitious future.
The people below remained silent, exchanging bewildered glances.
Jiang Bai had been spending the last few days with them, telling them many interesting stories and about the prosperity of the outside world. Her wisdom and kindness earned her the favor and trust of the tribespeople.
Just as everyone was hesitating, a male voice came from behind the crowd.
"I support the Holy Maiden's point of view, and I am willing to leave our clan with her to open a path to the outside world for our clan!"
Everyone turned to look in that direction, and Jiang Bai looked over as well.
"It is Master Yuanmo."
"Why is he here too? Does he trust the Holy Maiden that much?"
“Master Yuanmo is the most skilled Gu master in our clan.”
