This strange state between the two finally sparked gossip.
Shan finally couldn't hold back and told the truth, which immediately caused an uproar among the tribesmen.
"The chieftain is so heartless. He sent Lin Luo away and even rejected the little witch doctor. Is his heart made of stone?" a female member of the Ying tribe complained.
“That’s right. Although we respect the clan leader, he went too far this time. I heard from Shan that even the little witch doctor cried…” another chimed in.
"The clan leader has gone too far this time..."
"The little witch doctor is so nice, it's infuriating!"
The people in the tribe all glanced at Xiao with accusing eyes, but they didn't dare to interfere.
Some unpaired males, however, are eager to make a move.
rainy season.
Hunting is the most important activity in the tribe, and as the chief, Owl naturally needs to participate.
Although he hadn't slept all night, he still managed to gather the hunting party and set off.
But today he was in a bad mood and hit hard, smashing the head of a wild boar that resisted.
Upon returning, his feet involuntarily circled around Xia Yixin's stone house.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, I asked a passing member of the tribe, "Did she come out today?"
The tribesman was taken aback by the question, then suddenly realized, "Oh, Chief, you mean the little witch doctor? She's out! She's taken the tribesman to the beach to collect seaweed."
As if controlled, the owl flew to the top of a rocky mountain by the sea, where a group of people on the shore were searching for that figure.
Besides guiding everyone in the collection, Xia Yixin also wanted to take the opportunity to ask about Xiao's past, which she had figured out last night.
His words were rough but true. Although he was indeed Lu Yan's clone, he was still an independent individual. She got to know Chu Mubai in the second dimension before developing a relationship with him, but as for him, she had only considered him a friend before.
Moreover, she knew nothing about his past, so the simplest way was to find someone to learn about him.
"Little witch doctor, why are you asking me about these things concerning the chieftain?" The male tribesman had grown up with the owl since childhood. He was very happy that the little witch doctor had stopped him today, but she was asking about the owl. Even if he was stupid, he could guess why.
Xia Yixin blushed slightly when asked so directly, "I want to understand him."
The male tribesmen, looking at the rosy-cheeked, delicate little witch doctor, felt that their clan leader was truly blind to have rejected such a wonderful young witch doctor.
Suddenly, a strong sense of mission welled up inside him. "Don't worry, little witch doctor, I will tell you everything I know!"
So he spilled the beans, revealing everything about Xiao, even detailing how he used to wet the bed at a young age.
She originally thought that Xiao was following in his father's footsteps, but she didn't expect that Xiao's past was not smooth sailing, but rather full of ups and downs.
"About fifteen years ago, our tribe was even stronger than it is now. But back then, there was a group of golden eagles in our tribe. Their chieftain was very ambitious and wanted to oppress and rule all the tribes on this continent, turning them into slaves. The chieftain's father, the former chieftain, opposed this plan. They attacked him during a hunt and drove the chieftain and his mother out of the tribe. That was very close to winter. Later, I heard that to support him, the chieftain's mother worked as a slave in other tribes and eventually died from exhaustion." The male tribesman paused and sighed softly. "At that time, our tribe also suffered a major blow. The golden eagle tribe invaded other tribes, provoking retaliation. The eagle tribe was also forced to leave its original settlement, and the golden eagle tribe was almost wiped out. Later, it was the elders of the tribe who found the chieftain. He helped us defeat those pursuers and found this place, but at that time, there were still some people in the tribe who harbored ill will towards him..."
As the other party explained, Xia Yixin understood that Xiao had been abandoned by his clan when he was just three years old and had just taken human form. He had experienced the darkest time, so he didn't have much affection for his clan. However, when his clan found him, he returned. Later, he was slandered by villains and misunderstood by his clan. But he endured humiliation and hardship and stood firm on his own.
"He may not be a perfect chieftain, but he has led the Eagle Clan out of the shadows time and time again. More than a year ago, when that evil woman stole the clan's food, if it weren't for the chieftain leading the hunting party to hunt day and night and bring back some food, perhaps all of us Eagle Clan would have starved to death. Moreover, at that time, the chieftain did not trust that evil woman and had people watch her. I didn't expect that she would be bewitched... Alas. But the chieftain felt very guilty, so he pretended to be captured and entered the Huaxia Clan."
After listening, Xia Yixin couldn't help but sigh. As expected of Lu Yan's alter ego, he hadn't changed a bit in terms of being cunning, patient, ruthless, and decisive.
This completely explains why she saw the Eagle Clan members among the Huaxia Clan. It's likely that he had planted those people there long ago to stir up trouble and escalate the conflict.
But putting all that aside...
"Did he have someone he liked before?"
The male tribesman paused, scratched his head, and thought for a long time. "That wicked woman did seduce the chieftain before, but he threw her out. There were also some other females, like Li, who had a good impression of the chieftain, but he rejected them all. So he didn't form a bond with her until he came of age... it's just..."
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Finally, steeling his resolve, he advised, "The clan leader may have a secret lover outside. He left during the windy season and returned, only to be catalyzed into adulthood, and he even has the highest level of spiritual contract."
She felt down when the other person mentioned this.
But suddenly I had a feeling that the breakthrough might be right here.
"Um, could you tell me more about what happened in between?"
"At that time, Li led us to escape the ambush and settled in another canyon. The chieftain returned with the beast spirits who had been persecuted by that evil woman, as well as that woman herself. Then he said he was going out to find you..."
Xia Yixin's heart skipped a beat.
You're saying he was looking for me back then?
After receiving an affirmative answer, many things she had previously overlooked came together: the wind, his search for her... the waterfall!
That was the only time she briefly lost her memory.
A spiritual pact is one-sided!
Could it be that time when the owl...
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She would have just come of age then, and if it was him...
He has no other woman!
He has formed a bond with her!
She was almost too eager to ask him when, just then, she heard footsteps not far away.
She turned her head and met Xiao's deep blue eyes, which held the unease of not having time to escape.
Actually, Xiao has been here for a while now.
He spotted her immediately.
She seemed to be talking to a male member of her tribe, sometimes surprised and sometimes extremely serious, even frowning, but her attention remained fixed on the male member, unaware that he had arrived.
Her face even turned red, that shy look... damn it! Has this little guy fallen for someone else?
Xiao angrily tried to rush out, but as he took his first step, he unexpectedly met her gaze, and then the great Eagle Clan Chief... fled in panic.
