However, this handsome, godlike male did not even glance at her.
Bai Feng smiled gently at Si Yan. Si Yan tried her best to stop crying, but she was also very aggrieved and lowered her head in front of Bai Feng.
Bai Feng patted her head.
Her reputation put pressure on her.
He looked up, but the gentle expression was gone. In its place was a distant and cold indifference.
Bai Kui was stunned. This was the first time she had seen the gentle High Priest. The High Priest's appearance just now was enough to stay in her heart for a lifetime.
But it seems that all his tenderness belongs only to Si Yan…
Thinking of this, Bai Kui's eyes darkened.
The High Priest of White Eagle glanced at the orc who had spoken earlier and said indifferently, "You just told Xiao Siyan, 'Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the High Priest.' How does that leave the High Priest's face?" Is that right?
Bai Feng repeated the orc's words exactly as they had spoken.
The orc dared not lie, and he quickly replied guiltily, "Yes. I thought Si Yan was too young and might not understand..."
Bai Feng gently picked up Si Yan and, to Si Yan's astonishment, held her in his arms in front of so many beastmen.
Then, his snow-white, proud eyes looked at the beastmen here.
"Your statement contains several errors."
"Si Yan doesn't need to be sensible."
"You don't need to think about me."
"My pride... I've lost all face because Xiao Siyan has suffered such a great injustice."
A few simple words, yet they struck like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
"High Priest!!!" The orc quickly knelt down. "I...I don't know..."
Yes, they didn't know that this little female was so important to the High Priest Bai Feng, and possessed so many privileges.
Si Yan was taken aback again, and she looked at Bai Feng.
The handsome, adult male was still holding her, and he slowly turned to face Bai Kui.
"You... also made a few mistakes."
Bai Kui was stunned, then she crawled on her knees toward Bai Feng.
"High Priest, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it!!"
Bai Feng said, "You don't know, the basket you broke was the first basket in the current Beast World. It's very important and valuable."
Bai Kui was astonished: "The first basket in the Beast World? Could it be that you wove it? You gave the first basket you wove to Si Yan?"
A deep sense of jealousy enveloped Bai Kui.
Tyson roared, "What nonsense are you spouting? This basket was woven by Si Yan. It's the first time I've ever seen anything like it, and I thought it was incredibly useful. And you managed to break it!"
Bai Feng gently patted Si Yan's back to help her catch her breath, and then said, "And those herbs that you knocked over and had crushed were indeed top-quality fresh medicinal materials. Even the witch doctors in White Eagle City might not have such good medicinal materials."
"They are also very valuable."
"But the head you kowtowed is worthless."
Bai Kui never expected that the High Priest would approve of Si Yan's things and herbs, and then denigrate her like that.
She was terrified and immediately knelt down, forgetting even to kowtow.
My mind was filled with what Bai Feng had said: the basket was the first of its kind in the Beast World, and the medicinal herbs were real herbs, not weeds.
Very valuable, extremely valuable!!!
Bai Feng continued slowly, "The head you kowtowed is not enough to compensate for Xiao Siyan's loss. Our Siyan doesn't care about your head at all."
Bai Kui realized what was happening and immediately kowtowed.
"High Priest, I really didn't mean it, I didn't know, I really didn't know!!"
Bai Feng said, "I never knew that in the rules of White Eagle City, kowtowing could make amends for mistakes."
"High Priest!" Bai Kui raised her head, her eyes red.
The male seemed not to see her at all. He put Si Yan down, took the basket from her hands, and bent down to pick up the medicinal herbs for her.
"Since you don't have any medicinal herbs or a basket, you can compensate Xiao Siyan with something else. I'll have the city lord tell you later."
Si Yan pouted as she watched Bai Feng help her pick up herbs.
After Bai Feng picked up all the herbs that had been scattered on the ground, he chuckled and patted her head.
Are you still unhappy?
Si Yan slumped down. "The herbs are spoiled, and the basket is broken too."
Bai Feng comforted her, "Later, I'll weave you a new basket. Tomorrow morning, I'll go with you to gather herbs in the more distant mountains, okay?"
Si Yan was visibly happy. "Really?"
He stroked her fluffy little head again. "Really."
...
Later, when Si Yan saw a huge pile of food, animal hides, feathers, and all sorts of strange items delivered to her tree hole, she was surprised and wondered, "Are her herbs and baskets really worth so much money?"
City Lord Bai Shou kept apologizing to her.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Siyan, I'm partly responsible for this. I've found out that Bai Kui has a crush on the High Priest; she's just a little jealous of you. Keep all these things safe. Sigh, I don't even know if they'll be enough to compensate you for the basket and herbs. I know herbs are very expensive."
Si Yan was confused, then waved her hand.
"That's enough, that's really enough."
After saying that, he remembered what those people had said during the day about having to consider the High Priest's face.
Si Yan then felt that her behavior was not dignified enough.
She coughed twice and said, "Bai Shou."
Bai Shou looked up in confusion, "Huh?"
Si Yan pretended to be serious and said, "An earthquake is coming, famine and plague are coming, you can't just sit idle."
