Chapter 609: Member of the Tribe

Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen

It took her a good while to realize that Yao Tang wasn’t even touching her.

Yao Ran was furious and mortified, but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything underYao Tang’s imposing gaze.

Even Uncle TianandGrandma Xuwere helpless to do anything.

“If there is something you want, just say what it is,” Uncle Tiancalled out. “But don’t touchRanran. Our matters have nothing to do with her.”

“Something I want?” Yao Tangechoed.

She turned to the man with a small smile. “Didn’t I ask you something just now? It doesn’t seem like you’re willing to give it, though.”

Uncle Tian blinked in confusion until he remembered thatYao Tanghad indeed asked him something just a while ago.

Ironically enough, her question piqued his curiosity. “You asked me where the pill came from,” he said as he peered at her. “Why do you want to know?”

Wasn’t the pill useless against her?

What good would it do for her to know its origins?

Yao Tang tilted her head to the side. “Wasn’t I supposed to be the one asking the questions here?”

Uncle Tian promptly shut his mouth.

He hesitated for a moment. After composing himself, he slowly said, “The pill has been passed down through generations in the tribe. It…”

Something occurred to him then. His eyes turned sharp as he looked at Yao Tang. “Which tribal clan are you from? Are you aware of MissYao Ran’s identity?”

Yao Tang’s eyes narrowed at the mention of tribes.

“So,” she drawled, “you are members of the tribe as well?”

This effectively confirmed Uncle Tian’s guess. This girl was indeed a part of the tribe.

In that case, then this incident shouldn’t be difficult to settle at all.

Ordinary people wouldn’t have had a clue about their existence, but Yao Tanghadn’t even batted an eye when she asked him point-blank.

Moreover, it appeared that she was able to nullify the poison’s effects. Only members of their tribe could even have any hope of doing that.

“Since you seem able to withstand the pill’s effects, then you must know who formulated it. Anyway, we’re all members of the same tribe, so what’s the point of this stand-off?”

Uncle Tian’s eyes glinted dangerously as he added, “Or is it that you’re planning to betray the Lord?”

As soon as he said this, Grandma Xu’s head whipped around inYao Tang’s direction. She stared at the girl with a horrified expression.

She would have liked it if Yao Tang did belong to the same tribe, but if she had plans to betray the Lord and their order, then they could only be enemies from this point onward.

“The elders never told me anything about this,” Yao Tangsaid casually.

Only Qin Jingknew her well enough to know that she was trying to extract more information out ofUncle Tian.

If Yao Tangreally did know much about this so-called tribe, she wouldn’t be wasting her time with this conversation. She simply didn’t have the patience.

Since she was prodding them to say more, it only meant that her goal went deeper than getting her question answered.

Uncle Tian raised a hand and pointed atYao Ran.

“Even if the elders didn’t tell you, you should be familiar with the necklace she’s wearing, right?”

Yao Ran’s hand instinctively clasped the chain around her neck.

She recalled then that when she had first met Uncle Tian, he had asked her to produce the necklace.

Yao Ran had gone home and searched the room for hours before she finally found it.

In truth, this necklace was made from pieces of a bracelet. When she was a child, she had accidentally picked up a bracelet on the roadside. When it came to a point where she couldn’t wear it anymore, she revamped the jewelry into a necklace.

But why was Uncle Tianbringing it up now?

Yao Ran felt the onset of another panic attack washing over her.

This item wasn’t hers, to begin with. It was just something she had found at a random spot.

She’d thought that the patterns on the bracelet were pretty, which was why she’d kept it all these years. The patterns were also the one thing she had salvaged when she made it into a necklace.

But now, it seemed that Uncle Tianhad mistaken her for someone else. All because she had decided to pick up something that had caught her eye.

It was probably also the reason why they had been treating her so well. Thinking of this, Yao Randucked her head and refused to meet anyone’s gaze.

No matter what, nothing would change the fact that she was now the owner of this necklace.

The turmoil in her gradually settled into cold determination.

She had never admitted anything, nor had Uncle TianandGrandma Xutold her about these things.
