Jiang Si took a sip of wine and put the glass back on the table.

There were no more fireworks, it seemed that the second brother was really rescued.

That’s right, from the very beginning Jiang Si did not put all his hopes on the Great Elder and Elder Hua’s keeping their promises.

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. As long as her second brother is not in Wu Miao's hands, she can turn passivity into initiative and no longer be afraid to act rashly.

Having relieved himself of the pressure, Jiang seemed to become more indifferent.

Finally, the open-air banquet was over, and two Wu Miao elders were responsible for escorting people from other tribes to the village gate, while the other elders gathered together, looking excited.

The singing and dancing of the tribesmen outside continued, and their hearts seemed to dance along with them, filled with joy.

The Great Elder rarely saw everyone so happy, and a smile played on his lips.

Elder Rong Long-face suddenly bowed deeply to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder asked calmly, "Elder An, what are you doing?"

Elder An looked ashamed and said, "I have always misunderstood the Great Elder. Please forgive me, Great Elder, and please forgive me, Saint."

The Great Elder nodded reservedly: "Elder An, there is no need to do this. You are also considering Wu Miao. Although our ideas have been different over the years, our hearts for Wu Miao are the same."

The Great Elder said this, but he sighed softly in his heart.

In recent years, she has had considerable conflicts with some elders, led by Elder An.

Asan was the least gifted saint among all the saints. When she was alive, she only mastered one-tenth or one-twelfth of the art of exorcism. After that, she did not show up for a long time.

Elder An had a bold idea: she believed that Asan was not the Saint Maiden of Destiny at all, and blamed her, the great elder, for hastily selecting the Saint Maiden in order to appease the tribe members, which actually caused the Wu Miao tribe to have no successor.

Naturally, this idea was not accepted at first, but as time went by and Asan did not show up, more elders supported this idea.

Of course, these disputes were limited to the first and second generation elders, and ordinary tribesmen were unaware of the underlying issues.

Now, after seeing how powerful "A-Sang" was at the New Fire Festival, Elder An finally bowed his head.

The Great Elder was full of emotion, but he did not feel very proud.

She was even a little confused: Was Elder An really wrong? Asan was dead, and the one who truly mastered the art of exorcism was definitely not the saint she had personally chosen back then!

Glancing at the leisurely look on Jiang Si from the corner of his eye, the Great Elder secretly made up his mind: no matter what the cost, he must keep her!

In order for Wu Miao to avoid the disaster of extinction of the clan, it was worth it even if she and Elder Hua had to endure the pain of being devoured by thousands of snakes for breaking their oath.

She is old, and Wu Miao cannot live without the Saint.

"Everyone, please disperse." The great elder who had made up his mind spoke.

All the elders bowed in unison and prepared to leave.

"A-Sang, Elder Hua, you two stay."

Soon there were only three people left in the house.

The elder looked at Jiang Si: "A-Sang——"

Jiang Si waved his hands and smiled slightly: "Great Elder, I have successfully completed the task, can I take my brother away?"

She wanted to make sure whether her second brother was still here.

The great elder forced a smile and said, "You just showed up today, and the tribe's joy has not yet passed. It's too hasty to leave now—"

Jiang Si frowned: "What do you mean, Great Elder?"

She had already understood what the Great Elder meant, and she felt disappointed but also thought it was normal.

Compared with the matter of the survival of the clan, the promise made to a little girl like her was really nothing.

Elder Hua said hurriedly: "The elder means to wait a few more days. When the tribe members are no longer worried about the saint, the princess can leave. Besides, your brother is injured and needs to rest for some time--"

Jiang Si chuckled and interrupted Elder Hua's explanation: "You have to let me see my brother before we talk about other things."

Elder Hua couldn't help but look at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Elder Hua, take Ah Sang to see that young master."

Elder Hua nodded in understanding.

Since her name is Ah-Sang, there is no need to disguise herself as Ah-Hua. You can just take a look outside and leave quietly.

"Please follow me."

Jiang Si bowed slightly to the Great Elder and followed Elder Hua to where Jiang Zhan was to be placed.

As we walked deeper into the village, we saw almost no people along the way.

The tribesmen are still celebrating and will not disperse until evening.

When they got there, they pushed the door open and walked in. The yard was quiet and there was no one guarding it.

Jiang seems to understand the confidence of the Wu Miao people.

The whole village is planted with poisonous flowers and plants, and there are countless poisonous insects lurking. These are what really trap people. They are confident that outsiders who get in will have difficulty taking a single step.

"Young Master is not fully recovered yet, you should wait for a few days before making any decisions—" Elder Hua suddenly stopped talking and stared at the empty room in amazement.

After a while, Elder Hua came to his senses, rushed in to look around, stared at the bowl of corn rice and muttered, "Where is the person?"

Jiang Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the second brother is not here and there are red fireworks rising into the sky, it seems that the second brother is already with Long Dan and the others.

She didn't show any emotion on her face, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's my second brother?"

Elder Hua looked at Jiang Si blankly.

Jiang Si's face turned even colder: "It turns out that Elder Hua had been planning to break his promise for a long time, and he was so eager to hide my brother."

Elder Hua's expression changed slightly. "No, we didn't hide your brother. Princess, please wait a moment. I will ask someone right away."

Although she planned to break her promise, she was too late. How come the person disappeared?

"I'm going to see the Great Elder." Jiang Si said coldly.

Elder Hua naturally had to report this incident to the Great Elder, and immediately hurried back with Jiang Si.

After hearing Elder Hua's report, the Great Elder looked cold and asked, "The person is missing?"

Elder Hua nodded: "The dishes have been eaten, but the corn rice is still there."

Even if he didn't have the meal, with those flowers, plants and poisonous insects around, how could that young man leave?

"I'll go ask Ah Hua."

For a moment, the Great Elder and Jiang Si were the only ones left in the room.

"Great Elder, where did you hide my brother?"

The elder frowned slightly: "Please be patient, this is just an accident——"

Jiang Si sneered and said nothing.

Not long after, Elder Hua came hurriedly: "I asked Ah Hua, and Ah Hua said that there was nothing unusual when delivering food to that young man. Two days ago, that young man seemed to be planning to leave. Ah Hua found traces of crawling in the yard, but those traces were crawling backwards..."

Elder Hua glanced at Jiang Si, coughed lightly and said, "Perhaps the young master found that he couldn't leave, so he went back."

The corners of Jiang Si's mouth twitched, and he was no longer able to say anything.

Unable to escape and crawling back silently, can her own second brother be more motivated?

The Great Elder was also confused: "Since that young master tried once and failed, he shouldn't waste his efforts again—"

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si frowned and said coldly: "My brother is missing here. If the elder can't hand him over, then I won't leave!"
