Chapter 146 Trustworthy
At night, Xiao Yan, Qing Lin and the cloaked woman sat around the fire, eating the dry food that Xiao Li asked them to take with them before they left.
Xiao Yan and Qing Lin were chatting enthusiastically. Xiao Yan told Qing Lin about his travels, while Qing Lin told Xiao Yan about her daily life in the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.
As a stranger, the cloaked woman naturally couldn't interrupt. She sat quietly in the corner, her eyebrows tightly knitted together under her cloak.
What she was thinking about now was the words that Yan Ci, the leader of the Flame Snake Tribe, said before he left.
As far as she knew, Yan Ci was relatively repulsive to humans among the eight tribal leaders. Although he was not to the point of fighting without explanation when meeting, he was also a kind of snakeman with a very bad attitude towards humans.
However, even so, Yan Ci's words still gave Xiao Yu extremely satisfied affirmation.
Those words were by no means just polite words.
Moreover, facing the three of them, Yan Ci had no need to say polite words.
In other words, those words were his true thoughts.
Yan Ci recognized Xiao Yu from the bottom of his heart.
This made the cloaked woman doubt herself a little.
Could it be that I really thought too much? The Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect's secret dealings really have nothing to do with each other?
In this case, it doesn't matter if I tell him my true identity.
The cloaked woman hesitated in her heart, and shook her head slightly after a while.
No, it's not the right time yet.
At least Xiao Yan is not enough for her to trust completely now.
The identity of the fiancé of the young master of the Yunlan Sect brings too many variables.
At that time, Xiao Yan faced the Dou Wang strongman directly, but his face was not timid at all, which made the cloaked woman secretly admire him.
Obviously, the difference in strength between the two is not big, but their temperament is so different. At least the cloaked woman does not have the courage to stand in front of the Dou Wang strongman as calmly as Xiao Yan.
However, although she admires him, this is only in terms of temperament, and it cannot prove that Xiao Yan is innocent.
Yan Ci did praise Xiao Jing, but in the end, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan are two different people. Even if Xiao Jing is really fine, Xiao Yan may not be fine.
She has read too many examples of disunity within the same family in those history books.
At least now, Xiao Yan is not enough for her to reveal her identity.
Just as the cloaked woman was thinking this in her heart, Qing Lin, who was chatting with Xiao Yan, suddenly turned up her nose, and a vigilance instantly appeared on her porcelain doll-like face. She looked at Xiao Yan and whispered.
"Master Xiao Yan! There are humans!"
"Huh?!"
Xiao Yan and the cloaked woman were both startled, and then Qing Lin frowned, leaned down slightly, with his ears close to the ground, and raised his head again after a moment.
"They are not coming for us, they should just pass by us."
"." Xiao Yan lowered his eyebrows, took out the map and handed it to Qing Lin after a while, and asked: "Qing Lin, see which direction they are going?"
"Let me see"
Qing Lin took the map, scanned it back and forth, and finally pointed to a small tribe.
"Master Xiao Yan, according to the direction they are heading, if they don't change their route halfway, it should be here."
Xiao Yan came over and looked at the location Qing Lin pointed to on the map. The cloaked woman also came over, and her brows were instantly furrowed. "This is. The Black Snake Tribe?!"
Hearing the cloaked woman's exclamation, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and looked at her sideways.
"From your tone, you seem to be familiar with these tribes?"
"Well, I have collected relevant information before I came here." The cloaked woman nodded, looked at Xiao Yan and replied: "There are eight tribes of the Snake People, and the leader of each tribe is at the Dou Wang level. The one we met at that time was Yan Ci, the leader of the Yan Snake Tribe."
"I just heard your voice, and it seems that you are very nervous?"
Xiao Yan asked, and the cloaked woman answered slowly.
"According to the information, although Yan Ci was not so kind to humans, he was still more rational than emotional." The cloaked woman said, and the beauty under the cloak was tightly twisted together, "But Mobas, the leader of the Mo Snake Tribe, is different. He is extremely disgusted and hates humans. As long as a human appears in his field of vision, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to leave alive. If the tribal leader we met at that time was not Yan Ci but Mobas, then we would not be let go so easily."
After listening to the cloaked woman's words, Xiao Yan lowered his head and thought.
He understood why the cloaked woman felt nervous.
If the slave traders on the human side are the unstable factors that affect the peaceful coexistence of humans and the snake people, then the leader of the Black Snake Tribe, Mobas, is the unstable factor that affects the peaceful coexistence of humans and the snake people on the snake people side.
In other words, if humans and the snake people want to coexist peacefully, the Black Snake Tribe is the most vulnerable.
Otherwise, they, who already hate humans to the extreme, will have an even worse attitude towards humans, becoming a huge obstacle for the snake people to prevent the two tribes from shaking hands and making peace!
At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered.
The reason why Xiao Yu was called over by the snake people was because some tribes of the snake people were attacked by unknown people.
If what Qing Lin just heard, those people who passed by were the initiators of the attack on the snake people tribe.
"Let's go!" Xiao Yan no longer hesitated, stood up and put out the fire with sand, and said to Qing Lin and the cloaked woman: "Let's follow them, we must confirm what their purpose is, and we can't let things continue to ferment!"
"Yeah!"
Qing Lin nodded heavily. The reason why she stayed in the Tagor Desert was that she didn't want the tragedy of her father and mother to happen again.
Xiao Ji had managed the relationship between the two tribes to such an extent with great difficulty. How could she tolerate it being destroyed?
The cloaked woman also stood up, and looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated look under the cloak.
Originally, she wanted to ask to follow him, but she didn't expect that Xiao Yan would take the initiative to ask.
From Xiao Yan's face, she saw only sincere concerns about the future of humans and snake people, without any hypocrisy.
Xiao Yan was really afraid that the relationship between the snake people and humans would be destroyed by those unknown people.
At this moment, the cloaked woman gave Xiao Yan a label of trust in her heart.
If a person can really pretend to this extent, she will admit it even if she is deceived.
(I will find an opportunity to confess my identity to him later.)
The cloaked woman said this in her heart.
Xiao Yan should be trustworthy.
I can confess my identity to a trustworthy person, and I don't have to hide it anymore. I can discuss many things I want to do with Xiao Yan, and I don't have to worry and think alone.
After this incident is resolved
