Chapter 28 A Competitive Gaze

Xuan had heard about Yu's disappearance early in the morning, but he didn't take it seriously.

They initially thought the female was just wandering off again, but after the chief inquired around the tribe, he learned that she hadn't returned all night.

Feeling uneasy, he followed.

On his way here, he heard someone say that they had seen the two of them yesterday. When Lin went to find Yu, she said that he had been injured while hunting, so Yu hurriedly followed her.

Now he was certain that Yu's disappearance was definitely related to Lin!
Lin turned pale with fright when she saw Xuan's gloomy face.

How did he know?

"I... I only notified her after I heard from someone else that you were injured. I originally wanted to take her to find you, but she suddenly dragged me to the edge of a cliff."

"Yes! She...she even tried to push me down, but luckily I dodged it."

"I didn't want to tell you this, because Yu injured my arm trying to kill me. Look!"

Lin cried and quickly turned her arm over, revealing a long and deep bloodstain, as if left during an argument, which looked painful!

“I don’t want people to know that she’s that kind of person. She already has a bad reputation in the tribe. We’re all female, so I’m only being polite to her.”

"After I defied her, I went down the mountain. I don't know where she went after that."

"Maybe, maybe she's afraid that if people find out she'll harm me, she's hiding..."

Xuan stared intently at the female, discerning some clues from her shifty, guilty face, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

Lin trembled with fear and cried pitifully, "Xuan, don't glare at me like that. It's all my fault, okay?"

"I should have made her love me and pushed her off the cliff; I should have died."

"Are you satisfied now?"

She raised her arm to wipe away her 'tears,' deliberately revealing the scars on her arm.

Everyone started discussing it.

“Lin is injured, so she definitely didn’t lie. Yu is usually crazy, so it’s not surprising that she would hide after hurting someone and being afraid of being punished.”

"No way, Yu has recently turned over a new leaf, have you forgotten that she helped the tribe treat the plague a few days ago?"

"So you mean the Grand Elder's daughter, Lin, is lying?"

"They're already injured, is this really necessary?"

There were all sorts of opinions circulating at the scene, and Lin was extremely satisfied.

That bitch is definitely dead. She fell off such a high cliff, was poisoned by the love potion, and there was a torrential downpour last night. There's no way she could still be alive.

After a while, everyone will forget about her.

Her six high-quality male lovers will gradually be attracted to her and become her male lovers.

At this moment, Lie, who had returned from outside, walked nearby.

Hearing the sounds coming from inside, his face immediately darkened.

The female's legs were broken, and she had many other injuries. If she hadn't met me, she would have surely died from such injuries.

Lin actually claimed that she had hurt someone and was hiding?

Could it be that what that female said yesterday was true, and that Lin really did push her off the cliff to harm her?

I realized I had misunderstood her.

"Yu didn't hide; she was injured."

His deep, authoritative voice immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

Jin and Xuan, along with everyone else present, stared at him in shock. Xuan was the first to ask, "What happened? How did you get injured?"

Lin's expression changed drastically as she nervously looked at Lie, who had suddenly appeared. What did he know? Could it be that he had seen that bitch?

"Yu was pushed off a cliff and broke his leg. He is currently in a cave at the foot of the mountain."

Lie's words shocked everyone present.

She fell off a cliff and survived! A female with a broken leg—how much pain must she be in? Who pushed her? Lin?

Seeing everyone looking at her with suspicion, Lin panicked, her lips trembling, and hid behind the Grand Elder.

"Since you know, why don't you bring that idiot back!"

When Xuan heard that she had broken her leg and fallen off a cliff, he was frantic with worry, so much so that he didn't even realize that he was being overly concerned about Yu.

Lie glanced at Xuan indifferently, "Why should I take her along?"

"you!"

The two males locked eyes, their gazes filled with a palpable sense of impending conflict. A dangerous sneer flashed in his dark eyes as he uttered, "Remember your words! If you don't go, I will!"

In the blink of an eye, Xuan vanished as quickly as a shadow.

Everyone was amazed by Xuan's speed, but even more surprised by Xuan's concern for Yu. When did he become so concerned about Yu?
Lie clenched his fists, veins bulging, completely unaware of how terrible his face looked.

There was a sense of irritability and repression in his heart that he couldn't vent. Why did he feel so uncomfortable?

Even a hint of regret?
Perhaps he shouldn't have left her alone last night, after all, she was a female, and in that state...

"Now that the language has been found, the matter is over. Everyone, go back."

Elder Jiang took the initiative to suggest suppressing the matter.

Lin looked nervous and quietly tried to leave from behind the crowd. She didn't want to wait for Yu to come back and confront her.

She had only taken one step when Lie suddenly appeared in front of her.

He stared at her coldly, his voice deep and icy: "What are you going to do?"

"me……"

Lin was startled and bit her lip, feigning grievance: "Lie, Yu is coming back soon, I'll go out to greet her."

"No need, just stand here and wait. Explain everything that happened yesterday."

Lie's deep eyes seemed to see through all her thoughts. Lin looked at her father, Jiang, for help, just as Jiang was about to speak.

Jin said in a deep voice, "That's right. When Yu returns, we'll find out how she fell off the cliff. If she attacked you, we should also give her an explanation."

He could tell that his daughter's disappearance was related to Lin, and he suppressed his anger.

However, as the clan leader, he could not make baseless accusations without evidence. Therefore, this matter could not be dismissed, as it was an opportunity to clear his daughter's name.

but……

It seems that Lie, like himself, is also defending Yu's innocence?
On the other side, Ling Yu hopped on one leg to get out, found a stick to hold onto, and headed towards the tribe, while also checking if anyone was around.

She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly picked up the animal skin that had fallen to the ground.

Whose is this? It looks familiar.
Soon, a tall, serious man gradually appeared in her mind—Lie.

Did he leave without his clothes last night?

There was no unpleasant smell on the animal hide, only a familiar, clean scent from Lie, which was enough to show that Lie usually took good care of himself and paid attention to cleanliness.

Ling Yu vaguely recalled that last night, she seemed to have been covered by this animal skin, indulging in shameful erotic dreams, fantasizing...

Cough cough! She quickly shook her head, her cheeks flushed.

I felt like a female hooligan, smelling male clothes; it was absolutely perverted.

But how did this animal hide end up on my body?

Could it be that she forced herself to do *that*, forcibly taking it from him...?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had no face to see Lie again.

Ling Yu picked up the animal skin and was about to hop out when a swift shadow flashed by, startling her so much that she lost her balance on one leg and fell backward!

But the next second, he fell into a warm embrace, and a familiar yet irritable voice rang out:

"What an idiot, always causing everyone worry!"

She looked up and saw Xuan frowning as he stared at her, his expression a mixture of reproach and concern.
