When Sui Xue woke up again, she had already made an appointment in front of everyone for noon the next day.
Although the issue of letting Xuan Li go was resolved, there was still no clue about the fox corpse in the berry field.
Moreover, I don’t know how Mieming dealt with Mingheng.
Whether she did it cleanly or not, will anyone suspect her?
Just when she was having a headache, a prompt sound came from the system.
[Task Reminder: Hidden Task: Find the two traitors in the Fox Tribe. This task has not been completed yet. Please pay attention to the completion progress, otherwise the penalty mechanism will be activated.]
[System prompt: Current mission completion progress: One traitor has been dealt with, and one remains. Mission rewards will be settled once all traitors are found.]
Sui Xue heard this and realized that something was wrong.
Wait, what does it mean that one of the traitors has been dealt with?
Who was dealt with?
Is it Mingheng?
Mieming has already dealt with her?
Thinking of this, she frowned, her doubts growing even more intense. She hurried to the main tent of the Fox Tribe to confirm her suspicions.
When she arrived at the main tent, she glanced around and didn't see Mieming. However, she saw someone she didn't expect to see sitting in the guest seats.
Black hair, black clothes, and phoenix eyes with black pupils.
The sleeves of her clothes fluttered, and she wore heavy silk satin. She exuded a natural aura of nobility and power.
It turned out to be Xuan Li.
The leader of the Fox Tribe's arch-enemy actually appeared here.
Still treat them as guests of honor.
Sui Xue narrowed her eyes.
I subconsciously wanted to go forward and test it out, but a handsome fire fox beside me introduced it to me first.
"Commander Xuanli has come here to negotiate peace with our Fox Tribe."
Peace talks?
Is Xuan Li really that kind? Knowing that the Fox Tribe is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, poor and weak, instead of taking this opportunity to invade and conquer them, he actually lets the Fox Tribe live in peace in a corner and grow stronger?
Sui Xue became even more confused.
Xuan Li is a very complacent and proud person, but he is not stupid. Why would he seek peace, which would do him no good at all?
besides--
Sui Xue set her eyes on the Firefox who had just spoken.
This man had charming eyes and eyebrows, and was a handsome man with a very aggressive appearance.
Even though such a face had only appeared in front of Sui Xue a few times before, it was enough to leave an impression on her.
If I remember correctly, this person is the most handsome beastly husband under Mingheng, right?
Didn't he always argue with me in the past? Why is he so gentle and kind today?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Sui Xue's eyes darkened.
He became alert in his heart, but Sui Xue's face remained gentle as usual.
"I remember you always followed Mingheng in the past. Why are you alone today?"
"Besides, I haven't asked your name yet."
She tried subtly.
When the word "Ming Heng" was mentioned, a hint of gloom flashed in Firefox's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
"Heng'er is ill today and cannot attend. Therefore, I will be the representative of Elder Ming's family to attend this Fox Tribe meeting."
"Also, my name is Xin Danyi."
Sui Xue frowned slightly.
Are you feeling unwell?
What was going on? The system clearly told her that one of the traitors had been dealt with.
Isn't Mingheng the traitor? Is letting the enemy tribe's important prisoners of war go a traitor?
Or was this Xin Danyi lying? What was her purpose?
Sui Xue frowned and looked at Xin Danyi.
He wanted to continue probing, but Xuan Li beside him suddenly coughed lightly, his eyes darkening.
"Commander Sui Xue."
"This commander is still standing here."
Seeing that Sui Xue's first reaction to seeing him was not as clingy as before, he was actually a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Xuanli is Xuanli. No matter when, he is always the most dazzling and eye-catching person in the crowd.
Especially, in the eyes of Sui Xue.
Before this, she was clearly devoted to him in every way.
But for some reason, ever since he kicked her out that day, she's become more and more...
Estranged?
That’s not the case.
He just felt that he was not that important in her eyes and became the one being ignored.
When he was captured alive and in the dungeon, he always had the feeling that Sui Xue didn't seem to care about him that much.
He didn't like this feeling of disparity and didn't want to be the one being ignored in the crowd.
Thinking of this, Xuan Li felt a tightness in his heart. He frowned, trying to shake off the discomfort, and secretly comforted himself.
Never mind, maybe she was just playing hard to get.
Xuan Li was always unwilling to admit that there was something wrong with his charm.
Hearing his voice, Sui Xue turned around.
The matter of Mingheng is certainly important, but Xuanli is also a tricky problem at the moment.
Let’s deal with the current crisis first.
Thinking that he wanted to discuss the business of peace with her in detail, she frowned and spoke clearly.
"Tell me more."
Xuanli was slightly startled.
Why are we talking about business so soon?
Didn't I pester him with questions before?
Haven't seen you for a few days, shouldn't I...
His eyes darkened and his pupils dimmed for a moment.
When he raised his eyes again, his serious expression quickly returned to normal, still showing the calm and steady demeanor of the young leader of the snake clan.
"Yes, we have discussed this among our Serpent Clan. We have previously offended the Ling Tribe many times, which was truly unkind and unjust."
"The Snake and Fox tribes live side by side and share a river. If further conflict affects the use of the river, the gains will outweigh the losses."
Sui Xue sneered.
I'm afraid there's more than just this reason.
