Chapter 575: Chapter 576: News from the Western Ming Deer Clan
Under the intense gaze of several people, Ji Hu looked troubled as he pondered for a long while.
Finally, he did not disappoint everyone!
"Ah, I remember now, the West Ming Deer clan mentioned the Sky Fox Clan when they came to exchange salt with us before," Ji Hu recalled.
Ji Hu waggled his head triumphantly, showing off that his old brain still had some use left in it.
"The West Ming Deer Clan?!"
Su Tang and Qiu Mo both voiced out simultaneously, exchanging a glance filled with joy, before they flanked Ji Hu, each taking hold of one of his arms.
"Uncle, are you referring to the West Ming Deer Clan, one of the Five Great Tribes?"
Ji Hu was somewhat taken aback by their reaction. He gave a confused nod, "Yes, yes that’s right..."
Su Tang was so overjoyed that she nearly shouted out loud!
Equally, Qiu Mo was hopping about in sheer delight!
"This is so good! Uncle, do you know where the West Ming Deer Clan is located now?"
Ji Hu retracted his arm and looked at Su Tang cautiously, "Why do you ask?"
Realizing her perhaps overly eager demeanor, Su Tang tempered her emotions and replied slowly, "We need to urgently discuss some matters with the West Ming Deer Clan. Uncle, if you know where they are, please tell us. Please, we beg you!"
Su Tang’s face was filled with heartfelt sincerity, showing her earnestness.
But Ji Hu remained unmoved, shaking his head indifferently, "Truth be told, I really don’t know. The tribe usually sends some people to trade for salt. How would I know their exact location?"
Su Tang didn’t believe Ji Hu’s words. His earlier behavior indicated that he knew something but was simply unwilling to share.
Su Tang took a deep breath and pleaded softly again, "Uncle, I’m not lying. We really have urgent business with the West Ming Deer Clan. If you know, please tell us. We won’t do anything to harm them, and looking at our small number, what harm could we possibly do to them?"
Qiu Mo also implored earnestly, "Yes, Uncle, please help us~"
Ji Hu let out a strained laugh, "It’s not that I don’t want to help you, I really don’t know where they are."
No matter how Su Tang asked, Ji Hu’s lips were sealed, not a single word escaping them.
Su Tang was somewhat anxious. She turned her gaze towards Gaiyin, asking silently: What should we do?
Gaiyin’s gaze was stable as he looked at Ji Hu. He suddenly said, "You’ve seen it as well, haven’t you?"
Su Tang, in her confusion, turned her gaze towards him, "Hmm?"
Ji Hu looked serene, like an old monk in deep meditation, seemingly detached from his surroundings, not responsive at all.
Gaiyin stared intently at Ji Hu and sat down in front of him, "I’m indeed not the chief of the White Tiger Clan."
After Gaiyin said this, Ji Hu’s eyelids seemed to twitch a little. He lifted his gaze slightly and calmly asked, "Then why are you impersonating the White Tiger Clan chief?"
Indeed, since the first time Ji Hu laid eyes on Gaiyin, he knew that he was not the chief of the White Tiger Clan. This had nothing to do with him knowing Gaiyin personally. Instead, it was due to Gaiyin’s Qi, which hadn’t fully settled yet.
This type of Qi was impossible to detect with the naked eye, only those who have been through great upheavals could perceive it.
The vibe Gaiyin gave to Ji Hu was vibrant, full of life and youthful vigor. While he had a certain regal air about him, the chief of the White Tiger Clan was not supposed to be like this.
Upon hearing Ji Hu’s question, Gaiyin smiled slightly and murmured, "When did I ever say I was the chief of the White Tiger Clan?"
