Ye Li shook his head in fear: "No, I can't let the clan leader sister go to that kind of place. I want to save her. Grandma, please tell me quickly, how can I help her?"
Grandma said with relief: "Ye Li, I knew you were a kind child. Although you were born with a hidden illness, you have a pure character. It is a blessing for Aqiang to meet you and become your sworn brother!"
Ye Li said confidently, "The clan leader took me in. I'm very grateful to her. Even my biological mother disliked me, but she didn't care at all. I will never forget this kindness!"
Grandma held his hand tightly and said, "In that case, go and convince your Boss Xuan to get engaged to A-Qiang. As long as he is willing to give A-Qiang a child and she gets pregnant, then she can avoid being sent to the Holy Cave!"
There was a fierce struggle in Ye Li's eyes. How could he be the boss of Xuan?
On one side is his savior, and on the other side is his good friend. He is so embarrassed!
This is how to do?
Just as he was hesitating, Grandma whispered, "Ye Li, you don't have much time left. The day after tomorrow is A-Qiang's coming-of-age day!"
Ye Li stood up suddenly and said, "Grandma, please stop talking. I'm going to discuss this with Boss Xuan first!"
Grandma said gratefully, "Ye Li, whether A-Qiang can escape the fate of being sent to the Holy Cave depends entirely on you!"
Ye Li walked back into the house step by step, feeling the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
How should he talk to Boss Xuan?
If he were not born a eunuch, he would have been engaged to the clan leader.
While he was hesitating, Xie Jianshu ran out quickly holding the bloody brocade and almost bumped into him.
He asked in surprise: "Ye Li, why are you standing at the door and not going in? I don't know what's wrong with Boss Xuan, he has a very bad temper!"
Ye Li bit his lip a little nervously. He should make Boss Xuan happy first.
Thinking of this, he reached out and grabbed Xie Jianshu: "I remember that Boss Xuan's favorite thing to do is cricket fighting, right? Let's go catch a few for him?"
Xie Jianshu frowned and refused: "Where are we going to catch him in the middle of the night? Don't think too much about it. Go to sleep quickly. Aren't you tired after a long day?"
Ye Li didn't dare to go to sleep. He had to please Zhan Xuan before he could make any request.
He tiptoed to the stream and rushed towards the grass where the sound came from.
As expected, hard work pays off. After about half an hour, he finally caught two crickets of good quality.
He quickly made a straw cage and stuffed the two little ones into it.
He ran to Zhan Xuan with a dusty face and said, "Boss Xuan, this is a gift for you. Take a look at it. Do you like it?"
Zhan Xuan frowned and looked at him. He didn't care what was in the straw cage, and directly took the handkerchief to wipe his face: "Look at you, you are so dirty, just like a little dirty cat. I almost didn't recognize you!"
Ye Li grinned foolishly and let him wipe his cheeks clean.
He said flatteringly, "This is what I got from lying in the bushes for about an hour. It's screaming really hard. It must be a top-notch fighter!"
Zhan Xuan then reached out to take the straw cage, and when he looked down, he saw two sturdy crickets chewing grass.
He asked casually, "If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Ye Li scratched his head awkwardly. "Boss Xuan, why do these words sound a bit off to me? You're my boss, and it's only natural for me to please you, isn't it?"
Zhan Xuan sneered: "Ye Li, we have been together since we were young, how could I not know you? Tell the truth quickly, otherwise, I will kick you out the door!"
Ye Li hesitantly asked: "Xuan, Boss Xuan, do you think the clan leader's sister is pretty?"
Zhan Xuan thought about it carefully before answering, "She's OK, but not as good as Qing Ning and Xiao Miao Miao. More importantly, she's aggressive and overbearing. I don't like her anyway!"
Ye Li immediately became anxious. Boss Xuan must like her, otherwise how could they get engaged?
He hurriedly explained, "Actually, the clan leader sister has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She's very kind. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sworn to being sisters with her!"
Zhan Xuan interrupted immediately: "What opposite-sex sisters? Ye Li, I'm warning you, you are a man. Even if you like wearing women's clothes, don't really think of yourself as a woman!"
Ye Li almost blurted out: "I want to!"
Zhan Xuan suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Even if you want to, you can't make it public!"
He and Xie Jianshu could tolerate him, but those people outside might not. They would only regard him as an alien demon and would want to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Ye Li didn't want to argue with him about his own problems anymore. He just wanted to ask for help on behalf of the clan leader's sister.
He pleaded in a low voice, "Boss Xuan, can you please save the clan leader? The day after tomorrow is her coming-of-age day. If she can't find a husband, she will be forced into the Holy Cave to feed the sacred object with her flesh and blood!"
Zhan Xuan's scalp tingled when he heard this. He never expected that Ye Li had done so much for him just hoping that he could get engaged to the clan leader.
This stupid guy who betrays his own people!
He shouldn't have come to rescue him!
What about feeding the holy creature with flesh and blood? It was just a lie to deceive him. How could he really believe it?
He roared in frustration: "Ye Li, you're going too far! Why do you want me to get engaged to her? I came to the Northwest Military Camp to join the army, not to be a live-in son-in-law!"
Ye Li was so frightened that he trembled all over. He subconsciously grabbed Zhan Xuan's sleeve and begged, "Please don't be angry, okay? Please, I'm scared!"
Seeing his eyes filled with tears, Zhan Xuan felt inexplicably upset.
He wanted to push him away, but in the end he couldn't bear to do it.
He spoke weakly: "Ye Li, don't worry about this anymore. Let's leave the witch tribe tomorrow, okay?"
The tears that Ye Li had been holding back finally fell and hit Zhan Xuan's arm hard, burning his heart so much that it hurt.
He sobbed sadly, "Sister Clan Leader saved me. I can't just stand by and watch her die. Grandma wouldn't lie to me. I've also heard of the existence of that holy cave!"
A cold glint flashed in Zhan Xuan's eyes. He suddenly grabbed Ye Li's wrist and said, "My mother once taught me that to solve a problem, we must address its root. Since the Holy Cave is the original sin, then we should just destroy it. Who cares about the holy relics?"
Ye Li was stunned: "Ruined? How could it be ruined?"
Zhan Xuan quickly pulled out a few black balls from his purse and said, "These are what my mother gave me for self-defense. She said that if I throw them out, no matter what it is, I can smash it to pieces. Take me to the Holy Cave, and we'll give it a blazing death!"
Ye Li said in panic: "What if someone finds out? My sister, the clan leader, will be cursed too!"
