They understood that the people who had come looking for them were the High Priest and the serpent beast; their distinctive features were too obvious to ignore.
Who would have thought that the male shamans were all so incredibly powerful? I thought I had a chance, but compared to them, I had no chance at all. I was even too embarrassed to stand in front of the shaman.
There was no way to wander around; Carlos was always waiting outside the door, but he could barely get a glimpse of him. Tours had already turned him away.
The old man was extremely worried, but Ian was useless. The emperor wasn't anxious, but the eunuch was – he was just anxious for nothing.
Ian: "Oh, I see."
He glanced at the crowd, feeling uncomfortable under their gaze; he disliked being stared at, and made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent.
Ian didn't make things too difficult. Since he was the High Priest's male, he should be received. Besides, the High Priest had helped the tribe make healing potions, so letting her male in was perfectly reasonable.
To be on the safe side, when dealing with the orc beside you...
"Go and invite the high shaman and the serpent beast out; let them recognize the person."
A great shaman?
Did they discover that Guo Xiaoxiao possesses witchcraft skills?
…
Guo Xiaoxiao and Carlos were taking a walk when the orcs searched for them for several rounds before finally finding them.
"High Priest, female..."
He ran towards them, yelling. Carlos glared at him, paused, and didn't dare get too close.
"Um... there are orcs outside who claim to be your male. Ian asked me to call you out to identify him and see if it's true."
Carlos's face darkened upon hearing this; those annoying people had arrived. He had thought they would be a few days later; they were here so quickly.
Guo Xiaoxiao was completely different from Carlos. Someone was looking for her; it must be Arthur and the others. She was overjoyed.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
To avoid arousing Carlos's suspicion, Guo Xiaoxiao took Carlos's hand and led him there.
As they arrived at the outskirts of the tribe with the orcs, Guo Xiaoxiao's face came into view. She raised her arms and charged towards them, and Carlos quickly grabbed her waist to prevent her from falling.
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled happily, unaware of Carlos's expression, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Upon finding Guo Xiaoxiao, they were naturally overjoyed and eagerly surrounded him, but none of them reached out to hug him, as he was currently being held by Carlos.
They disliked each other so much that they didn't even have time to be jealous; they simply imprinted Guo Xiaoxiao's face in their hearts.
A day apart feels like three autumns
Guo Xiaoxiao had been gone for several days, and although someone was taking care of her, they were still worried. Now that she is safe and sound, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to live in fear.
"You've all come."
A gentle call, like a cool breeze in spring, blows away all weariness and warms the heart.
"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?"
Xiaoxiao, I missed you so much!
Several concerned inquiries rang in her ears, making Guo Xiaoxiao feel a little uncomfortable, especially in front of outsiders.
Qianye's men watched helplessly from the sidelines, wondering when they would finally see their beloved Linzhi.
Before they could reminisce and reminisce, Qianye said...
"Okay, we've picked them up. Let's hurry, we're heading south."
Guo Xiaoxiao's initial joy turned to worry. The situation in Linzhi was still unresolved, the revolution was not yet successful, and comrades needed to work harder. She removed Carlos's hand from her waist.
Turning to Ian, he said
"Can you lift Carlos's restrictions? We really can't wait any longer, or my friend will die."
Ian: "You haven't done what you promised me yet."
Guo Xiaoxiao knew what he was referring to, but the situation was urgent. Everyone had already gathered, and there was no need to delay any longer.
"We made a promise. I promise that once I've finished what I needed to do over there, I'll definitely come back to find you, okay?"
Guo Xiaoxiao was unsure whether she actually knew or not; Carlos had been keeping a close eye on her, preventing her from confirming the matter with Ian.
Ian had no intention of letting her go. As for Carlos, let him go if he wants; it doesn't matter. If the high priest let her go, no one would make a potion that heals someone instantly after drinking it.
Moreover, he needed her due to his unspeakable secret; deep down, he still hoped to have a female to spend the rest of his life with and wanted to leave offspring.
The most outstanding female in the tribe was Salina, but he felt nothing for her, couldn't get an erection, and had no romantic feelings for her whatsoever.
He wanted to be cured so that he could stand tall and proud in front of any woman he liked and express his love to her.
"It's too dangerous outside, don't leave. You and your male can stay in the tribe and will be treated well."
The leopard following Ian echoed his words.
"Yes, Great Shaman, where are you going? We don't even know where the tree is hiding. If we get attacked, we won't be able to hide. It's safer to stay in the tribe."
"The entire White Stone tribe deeply respects the High Shaman and doesn't want you to leave."
"Since you're male, then you should join our tribe too."
If a few orcs were willing, even if they weren't of the same race, their strength would surely attract any tribe that wouldn't accept them.
Guo Xiaoxiao: "I promised her, and I promised you. I have to fulfill my promise one by one. But don't worry, I will definitely come back to you."
We can also discuss this with Linzhi; what if she has a solution?
Ian slightly raised his chin
“No, after the bonfire party, you will be one of our tribe. You are the High Priestess and also a female. According to our tribe's rules, females cannot stray too far from the tribe.”
This single sentence sealed Guo Xiaoxiao's death sentence; he spoke with absolute force and in a commanding tone.
Haha, give them a little sunshine and they're all smiles; give them a little color and they want to open a dye shop. Arthur's unhappy, and Ian's arrogant look—who's he trying to impress? By the way, what did Xiaoxiao agree to? There seems to be something wrong between them.
He insisted on taking Guo Xiaoxiao with him; what could he do? Several of them might not be able to defeat him alone. The leopard beasts behind them looked weak and could be ignored. Arthur said domineeringly.
"Thank you for taking care of my female. I have brought several red crystals, which I will give to you as payment. But if you try to keep my female in your tribe, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
"What, are you threatening me?"
Ian retorted provocatively, "You dare to be arrogant on my turf? Do you think you can bully me? It's just like that annoying Ji Xing again, even their personalities are almost identical!"
Arrogant and disdainful of others
He's the same kind of person, and Ian has never reflected on it; it's a bit of a double standard.
Arthur did not back down
"Try it if you don't believe me."
The two were on the verge of battle, both unleashing their full power, making it hard to breathe. Guo Xiaoxiao felt a tightness in her chest from the pressure and quickly stepped forward to stand between them, trying to calm things down.
"Stop arguing, do you really have to fight?"
Randy, fearing that Guo Xiaoxiao would be caught in the crossfire, pulled her out of their fighting circle.
Carlos also stood protectively in front of Guo Xiaoxiao. Miken and Cang Jue didn't intend to intervene; their strongest member, Arthur, had already entered the fray. Attacking her outnumbered would be pointless, especially since the gang had been watching over Guo Xiaoxiao for so many days.
Even if she didn't achieve anything, she still put in the effort. Even if her motives weren't pure, perhaps it was because she was beautiful and possessed witchcraft; the work was done.
