Chapter 650: Chapter 653: Paranoia
Saint Ya sneered, "Oh, don’t tell me you have no idea what he did wrong?"
Chi Yu furrowed his brows slightly. He had heard from the Beastmen that the matter had something to do with Lu Yu; but the specifics, he did not know.
Despite his ignorance, he didn’t like the way Saint Ya was handling things. He sneered in retaliation, "Would I bother talking with you here if I knew? Besides, isn’t the Ming Deer Tribal Chief overreaching a bit? If my Beastmen from Sky Fox Clan really did something wrong, I will punish them myself, without the need for the Ming Deer Tribal Chief to lift a finger!"
As he spoke, he waved at his clansmen, signaling them to release Chiyan.
Saint Ya said nothing, only watching coldly from the sidelines.
Upon his release, Chiyan, wilted like a freeze-damaged eggplant, shuffled back towards Chi Yu.
"Brother..."
Chi Yu glared at him, scolding softly, "I’ll deal with you when we get home!"
He then looked up at Saint Ya, "Does the Ming Deer Tribal Chief have anything else to say? Oh, nothing? Well then, we’ll be on our way. No need to see us off!"
Chi Yu turned to leave, only to be stopped by the females of the Ming Deer Clan.
He chuckled coldly, turning back around to look at Saint Ya with sarcasm, "What’s the meaning of this, Ming Deer Tribal Chief?"
Saint Ya’s cold demeanor rose as she stood up from the stone, "Who said you could leave?"
"What do you want then?" Chi Yu clenched his fists out of sight, staring seriously at Saint Ya.
It was said that not too long ago, Saint Ya had already broken through to Level 9, but the veracity of this statement was uncertain.
But looking at her fearlessness now, it seemed highly likely.
Saint Ya suddenly chuckled, retorting, "What do I want?"
Her tone was as though she had just heard a colossal joke, filled with mockery and sarcasm.
She walked towards Chi Yu step by step, her face steeped in a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Her whole being radiated a dreadful aura.
On reaching Chi Yu, her expression swiftly darkened, the smile gone as she sharply spoke.
"I’m actually quite curious, what does the Sky Fox Clan Chief intend to do? Sending your Beastmen to seduce our clan’s females, even planning to take her away from Xixili Flatland, what exactly are you getting at?!"
Chi Yu’s expression turned grim; he glared at Chiyan, "What’s going on?"
Chiyan, his face pale, guiltily lowered his head. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
Saint Ya continued to sneer, "Lu Yu is to be the next Chief of our clan, why out of everyone else, did it have to be her? It seems the Sky Fox Clan Chief has gone to great lengths in his plot to drive our clan to extinction!"
Chi Yu immediately retorted, "You’re talking nonsense! I never thought of such a thing!"
A cold glint flickered in Saint Ya’s eyes. She smirked, her lips curling upwards in cold laughter, "Whether you thought of it or not, you’re aware deep inside. But it’s quite unfortunate, your plot has been exposed by me."
Chi Yu furrowed his brows tightly. The Ming Deer Tribal Chief seemed odd to him, overly sensitive and easily agitated.
Some tens of metres away on a tree trunk, Su Tang was observing everything from above with a clear view.
She moved closer to Gaiyin and whispered, "Does the Chief of this Ming Deer Clan have some kind of persecution complex?"
Gaiyin somehow guessed out the meaning of her words.
He felt that Su Tang using the term ’persecution complex’ to describe Saint Ya was incredibly apt.
He gave a mild smile, "Perhaps."
Back on the open ground—
After cooling down a bit, Chi Yu addressed Saint Ya, "The Ming Deer Clan Chief is overthinking. It’s common knowledge that Ayan was smitten with Lu Yu, but even if he did aim to take her away, he wouldn’t stand a chance."
