already lifeless, letting out a sigh before speaking:"The strong forced the females to warm him, and blamed Vi for it, causing her to be banished from the tribe. Now he has been punished by the Beast...The leader of the lion clan was in his prime, and he always put the well-being of his pride and the development of the clan first. So when he learned that Ripple, a member of the tribe, was a messenger of the Beast God, he was overjoyed.

He couldn't be one hundred percent sure because the ripples hadn't returned to the Lion Tribe. For this reason, the chieftain had whispered with the Shaman several times in private about the possibility that the messenger was their own Ripple from the tribe.

"Shaman, can you talk to the spirits"

"No, unless she contacts me first."

"If she truly is a ripple of our Lion Clan, why hasn't she returned to the clan"

This is what the chief understands the least.

Perhaps there are reasons why he cannot return to his tribe for now.

Wu Dao was comparatively calm. After thinking for a moment, she continued,

"I think the problem lies with Sang and Yan Jia that he rescued."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of displeasure crossed the solemn face. In the beast world, females were precious, but compared to the female cub he had watched grow up, Yan Jia had to stand aside. Especially since the other party had been in the lion clan for almost a year and still couldn't get along with the others.

When it comes to food preparation and preserving meat, Yan Jia has methods but keeps them hidden. She even wants to trade them for favors with the clan, without considering how she survived in the first place, or where her current cave dwelling and clothing come from.

These aside, as the clan leader, he had never considered making Yan Jia contribute to the clan for nothing. After hearing his partner's words, he wanted to talk to Yan Jia and see if they could make a trade. If Yan Jia was unwilling, of course, he would not force her.

Orcs have orcish pride; they wouldn't stoop to stealing from a fallen female. Thankfully, the appearance of the Beast God Summoners allowed them to gain better skills than Yan Jia possessed without having to pay anything.

"WITCH, do you think Lianyi's incident is related to Yan Jia"

"Duo Duo found me privately and said that before Lian Yi's accident, the last person she spoke to was Yan Jia. Yan Jia herself admitted this, saying that she only talked to Lian Yi about how to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes and didn't say anything else."

At that time, all the women around were busy digging potatoes and no one noticed what the two of them specifically talked about. Besides, everyone only saw the two talking, with smiles on their faces, obviously there was no quarrel, so it was even more unfair to blame Yan Jia.”

The witch's words were very objective, it was a dead end with no evidence. However, now that there is news about ripples again, maybe after seeing her, the truth will be revealed.

"Chief, you don't have to worry! This year when we go to the Mermaid Tribe to exchange salt, let Sang and Yan Jia go with you. The mermaid shaman told me that Ripple will be waiting for all the beast tribes at their territory. During this grand gathering, she will identify some things we haven't discovered uses for or can't make, and also pass on the Beast God's will."

The witch whispered softly.

"What Wu means is, to confront them face-to-face"

Her eyes lit up with wonder.

"Yes, if she really didn't do anything, there's no need to be afraid. However, the fact that the divine being is a ripple should still be kept secret from the two of them."

Wits has a 50% chance of certainty, the ripples incident must definitely be caused by Yan Jia.

"Sang was hurt, but I didn't see Yan Jia being very worried, even having time to daydream. I also wonder, what expressions will they have when they meet Lianyi"

The two bigwigs of the lion clan thus finalized the grand gathering, and soon informed the clansmen. The clansmen were very much looking forward to it, all wanting to attend the grand gathering in the merfolk clan. Exchanging goods was one side of things, but most importantly, they wanted to see the messenger of the beast god.

Yan Jia is not as independent as she used to be. She also knew about this matter and, after thinking it over, she went to find Sang, who was recuperating from his injuries.

"Sang, I also want to go to the mermaid clan's grand gathering."

Sang listened to this vague statement and was taken aback. He sat up and carefully asked Yan Jia.

After Yang Jia finished explaining, he seemed a little embarrassed. He thought for a moment before saying:

"Jiajia, it's not that I don't want you to go. At the Mermaid Tribe's grand assembly, everyone relies on their own abilities. Right now, I'm injured, and I'm trying to recover. I need time to heal."

"Maybe it will be too late by then, and you'll miss your chance. I just can't leave you alone."

Yan Jia's eyes flashed, then she lowered her head, revealing her fair neck. She fell silent for a moment, then looked up again, her eyes now slightly red, before she spoke in a low voice:

"Sang, I still want to try. If all the beast tribes go to the merfolk's territory, what if I meet my tribe there"

"This"

Shan listened and didn't know what to say. After all, when Yan Jia was brought back by him, he was alone with no other beastmen around.

He had also asked Jiajia how she got to the lion pride's territory. She only vaguely said that she got lost and was chased by wild beasts into the lion pride's territory. When he pressed her further, Jiajia just shook her head and said she didn't remember.

"Sang, I want to personally go and speak with the chief to fight for a spot for us. After all, within the Lion Clan, I trust you the most. If we can truly find my kin, then our pact would be even more legitimate."

When Yan Jia came to find Sang, she had already thought up an excuse.

"Jiajia, did someone say something to you"

Sang's face immediately fell.

After all, I'm a foreigner. Even if they wanted to say something about me, they wouldn't do it in front of me. It was by chance that I overheard them. They said that I stole Rill's betrothed partner.

Yan Jia said half and left half, deeply understanding the skill of speaking.

“I and Ripple did grow up together, I'm truly heartbroken about what happened to her. But what does this have to do with you If it wasn't for you being there with me through the toughest times, I don't even know what would have happened. They can't say that about you!”

"No, I'm going to tell the chief!"

Sang lifted the animal skin blanket from his body, wanting to get off the stone bed. Unfortunately, he moved too much and touched his unhealed wound. He winced immediately, his face paling.

Yan Jia immediately stepped forward, taking his hand and gently stroking Sang's back while her eyes were red as she said:

"Sang, I know you're doing this for my own good! But your mission now is to heal. Leave the rest to me."

But this way, our betrothal ceremony would have to be postponed.

Sang felt a bit helpless. Holding Yan Jia's slender and delicate hand, he said with regret.

"It's just a postponement, not a cancellation of the bonding ceremony. If I can find my clan members, perhaps our bonding ceremony will be even grander!"

Yan Jia looked with regret, but still spoke in a soft voice to comfort Sang.

Actually, deep down she didn't want to make a pact at all. Leaving the Lion Clan, she went to the Grand Assembly and refused to believe that with her looks, intelligence, and advanced understanding, there wouldn't be followers.

After comforting Sang, Yan Jia decisively went to find the chieftain, using the same reason she had told Sang.

"I remember you said before that you don't remember where you came from."

He wasn't stupid, he casually hit the key point.

"Chief, I don't remember where I came from. But if I went to the gathering, would my tribe recognize me I want to try."ver, as she passed the restroom, Lian Yi heard a scream, coming from the women's restroom.Liàn Yī looked at the sign on the door of the restroom that read "Cleaning in progress, please do not use" but...
