NOVPUBShen Roujia thought of something, then patted Tu Lie and ran off.
Tu Lie wasn’t entirely sure what Shen Roujia meant, but he still followed her suggestion and approached Ai Yigu.
When Ai Yigu saw Tu Lie coming, she paused in the middle of watering the flowers.
“You’ve been busy these past few days.”
Tu Lie smiled slightly and replied, “It looks like these flowers are about to bloom.”
Ai Yigu nodded calmly and said, “Yes, they should bloom within the next few days.”
As Tu Lie observed Ai Yigu’s composure, his doubts deepened. He smiled again, “I’ll probably be even busier in the coming days. If anything comes up, you can send someone to find me. I might not be able to visit.”
Ai Yigu hesitated, her voice tinged with confusion, “Why are you so busy lately? Is there something important happening? Will it have any impact?”
Tu Lie shook his head, “Nothing too critical. My father hasn’t rested well since the falcon got sick, so I’ve been handling things for him.”
“Our tribe’s secret weapon is also crucial. Even if the Dayue attacks, as long as we have it, we can turn the tide.”
Hearing this, Ai Yigu’s eyes briefly brightened, and she cautiously asked, “Oh? Something that powerful? I’ve never seen anything like that in all these years.”
As soon as she spoke, a flicker of coldness passed through Tu Lie’s eyes, but he maintained his calm expression, “It’s a treasure, indeed. Xiao Rou ordered us to protect it well, to keep it from being discovered.”
Ai Yigu nodded obediently, seemingly losing interest in further questioning.
However, Tu Lie’s fists had already clenched tightly, something Ai Yigu failed to notice. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
