Lan Xiao sat inside his tent, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. His broad shoulders were taut, radiating an invisible pressure. Standing before him were Yan Feng, the hunting team captain, and Pan Yue, the guard captain.

Lan Xiao's gaze was sharp as a knife. He spoke first, his voice low and cold: "Did those two confess?"

Yan Feng frowned as he answered, the wrinkles on his forehead as if etched by a knife: "Chief, it took some effort, but they finally got the information. They said that there is someone in their tribe who is skilled in divination and prediction, and through some special means, they learned that Shen Ying is your weakness."

Pan Yue continued, unconsciously clenching his fist as he spoke: "Their goal is to capture Shen Ying, thereby controlling you and seizing your treasures."

Lan Xiao tapped his fingers slowly but forcefully on the table, each tap seemingly carrying immense power. His lips were tightly pressed together, his facial features resolute and cold, and the imposing aura emanating from him sent chills down one's spine.

Pan Yue continued, unconsciously clenching his fist as he spoke, a fierce glint in his eyes: "Chief, we can't sit idly by and wait to die. We must take the initiative and let them know the consequences of daring to scheme against us!"

Lan Xiao pondered for a moment, his eyes deep and resolute, as if he could see through everything: "Strengthen the protection of Shen Ying, and at the same time send people to investigate their so-called diviner, to see what methods they are using."

Yan Feng nodded solemnly and replied with a firm gaze, "Rest assured, Chief, I will personally arrange the personnel to protect Shen Ying, and the team investigating the diviner will set off as soon as possible. We will certainly not fail in our mission!"

Lan Xiao stood up, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his gaze as cold as a star. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "This time, their wishful thinking is likely to fail. We don't need to rush to show our strength. We just need to plan secretly and proceed step by step. When the time is right, we will let them fall into utter ruin when they are completely unprepared."

Shen Ying was assigned a new job as Lan Xiao's assistant.

Inside Blue Owl's tent, sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting patches of light on the floor. Shen Ying stood before a table, fine beads of sweat glistening on her forehead. In her hand, she held several pieces of animal hide engraved with symbols, a hint of panic in her eyes.

Lan Xiao sat behind the table, his brows slightly furrowed, but his gaze was filled with patience and encouragement.

"Shen Ying, don't rush. First, sort out the symbols on these animal hides." Lan Xiao said softly.

Shen Ying took a deep breath, nodded, and began frantically fiddling with the animal hides, but the more anxious she became, the more the hides scattered on the ground.

Lan Xiao stood up, walked to Shen Ying's side, bent down, and gently picked up the animal hide from the ground. "Come, I'll teach you," he said gently, reaching out to hold Shen Ying's hand and guiding her to place the animal hide according to the similarity of the symbols.

Shen Ying blushed slightly as she watched Lan Xiao's movements intently.

"Like this, first distinguish the different types of symbols, and then organize them one by one," Lan Xiao patiently explained.

Shen Ying bit her lip. "Yes, I understand."

After several attempts, Shen Ying gradually became more skilled at the movements.

Blue Owl gently encouraged, "Well done, keep it up."

Shen Ying flashed a bright smile at Lan Xiao, only to see him suddenly freeze. Just as she was about to ask him what was wrong, he suddenly gave her a passionate kiss.

The kiss was like a storm, intense and long. Shen Ying was first taken aback by the intense love, then became completely absorbed in it, her hands involuntarily reaching for the other person's shoulders.

But as time went on, her breathing became more and more rapid, her heart pounded like a drum, and the whole world began to spin, as if everything around her had ceased to exist, leaving only their burning emotions intertwined.

Unbeknownst to them, the sunlight had already moved quietly, and golden rays filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling the figures of the two intertwined.

Inside Blue Owl's tent, he was discussing tribal affairs with several generals. Suddenly, a guard rushed in, looking tense.

"Chief, there are people from the Wind Spirit Tribe outside requesting an audience," the guard reported loudly, kneeling on one knee.

Lan Xiao frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The Wind Spirit Tribe? What do they want?"

The guard shook his head: "I don't know, but judging from their demeanor, it seems to be something very important."

Lan Xiao pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Bring them in."

A moment later, several figures slowly entered the tent. The man in the lead was dressed in magnificent clothes and had sharp eyes. Behind him were a delicate woman and several strong and sturdy subordinates and guards.

The man first glanced around at everyone in the tent, then his gaze settled on Shen Ying. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he didn't speak immediately.

Seeing this, Lan Xiao coldly said, "May I ask what brings you all here from so far away?"

At this moment, the man stepped forward, tilted his head slightly, and said loudly, "I am Feng Lie, the leader of the Fengling tribe. I have come here to find my fiancée, Shen Ying."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying was so shocked that her body trembled, her eyes widened, and her jaw almost dropped.

Lan Xiao's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, and a chilling aura emanated from his body. His eyes were like frost in the dead of winter as he stared straight at Feng Lie, the leader of the Fengling tribe.

The atmosphere inside the tent instantly plummeted to zero, becoming icy and deathly silent.

Shen Ying has no memories of the original owner, only the original owner's skills and attributes, but considering the original owner's identity as a "tribal abandoned woman", there is probably another hidden story.

Shen Ying said awkwardly, "I hit my head before, and I don't remember a lot of things!"

Lan Xiao looked at Feng Lie indifferently and asked coldly, "How can you prove that what you're saying is true?"

Just as Feng Lie was about to speak, the woman beside him spoke first, looking at Shen Ying with teary eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister, it's me, I'm your sister." Her delicate face was full of sorrow, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to spill over at any moment.

She took a small, hurried step forward, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, her lips trembling slightly: "Sister, don't you remember me? We used to be so close." Her tearful appearance would have evoked pity in anyone who saw her, but Shen Ying looked completely bewildered. Lan Xiao stood in front of Shen Ying, narrowing his eyes as he scrutinized the woman before him.

Shen Ying looked at Feng Lie and the woman with a puzzled expression and asked curiously, "Since you value me so much, why did you drive me out of the tribe in the first place?"

Feng Lie was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Shen Ying found it strange, so she pressed on, her gaze unwavering: "Tell me, what is the reason?"

The woman who claimed to be Shen Ying's sister spoke hesitantly, her eyes flickering: "It's because... because you were indecent. You already had a fiancé, but you were still entangled with other men, so the clan expelled you. We had no choice. Actually, we've been secretly searching for you all along, but we couldn't find you until now, when we learned that you were with Lan Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying was completely stunned. She thought to herself, "So the original owner was kicked out of the tribe because she cheated on the tribe leader. If this is true, then the original owner's reputation as a discarded woman of the tribe is well-deserved."

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to Feng Lie across from her, a complex expression in her eyes. Feng Lie was tall and handsome, with an elegant demeanor and an exceptionally talented appearance. In modern times, he would definitely be considered one of the best idol stars.

Shen Ying couldn't help but think to herself, "I wonder what the original owner was thinking, and what kind of person that cheating partner was, to be able to steal the original owner away from such an outstanding tribal chief, and then leave the original owner to wander alone after the affair was exposed. It seems he's not a good person either."
