They originally thought they would be reprimanded, but they happened to arrive when the entire clan was in chaos, and no one paid attention to these young people for the time being.
Sanhui had regained his liveliness, weaving through the crowd, craning his neck to find excitement: “What’s going on? What happened?”
Someone said, “A big incident occurred! Only two or three of the people sent out by the clan leader’s wife have returned, and they were injured. The whereabouts of the others are still unknown.”
Sanhui was startled and quickly asked, “Has the clan leader’s wife returned?”
Their conversation immediately caught Luo Yingbai’s attention. He glanced in that direction, and the person, seeing Sanhui’s anxiety, comforted him, “Don’t worry, she’s back, right up ahead, but she’s busy now. You can go see her later.”
Luo Yingbai’s gaze swept across Sanhui’s face, taking in his expression upon hearing the news. Then he quietly merged into the crowd and discreetly headed towards where the “clan leader’s wife” was located.
Sure enough, it was Zhu Caiwei. Zhu Caiwei’s face bore a kind and gentle smile as she spoke to several people who had barely made it back.
Luo Yingbai listened, consoling these people, expressing gratitude, offering compensation, and promising to find a way to bring back the others.
Had Peng Xuan not mentioned this matter, and had Luo Yingbai and Xia Jianning not gone ahead, Zhu Caiwei would have originally been successful. For her, losing however many people didn’t matter as long as she could retrieve what she wanted. Now, she had obtained nothing.
Under these circumstances, anyone’s mood would be poor. Zhu Caiwei’s tone remained gentle, a faint smile on her face, but Luo Yingbai could clearly see that she maintained a certain distance from everyone.
When a wounded person’s blood-and-mud-stained hand almost touched Zhu Caiwei, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.
This attitude allowed him to observe everything before him more calmly and objectively.
After Zhu Caiwei had more or less pacified the Chiqiong clan’s emotions, Sanhui walked over and called out, “Aunt Zhu.”
Zhu Caiwei turned and saw him, smiling, “Is that you, Xiao Hui? Great! Congratulations on successfully transforming into human form this year. Where’s Xiao Tu? How is he?”
