Shan Chong, although ugly, didn't affect hunting, so he could be put aside.
But Lin Ye was different. He looked fine, but he had lost his combat strength, so it was still necessary to check.
When Xiao Jinyue grabbed Lin Ye's wrist, he stiffened, and he almost tripped over his right foot while walking.
His eyelashes trembled rapidly, and he secretly glanced at Xiao Jinyue before quickly retracting his gaze.
"You have internal injuries, how did it happen?" The witch sized up Lin Ye and asked.
"...I was afflicted by the backlash of force." Lin Ye composed himself and answered.
"Starting tomorrow, come here every day to get a dose of medicine. It should be better after a month." The witch said.
Lin Ye was overjoyed and suddenly raised his head, "Really?"
"Are you questioning me?" The witch frowned unhappily.
“No, no, thank you, Witch.”
Xiao Jinyue also breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask about Shan Chong's face when the witch unceremoniously drove them away—
“Alright, I'm tired, I can't see anymore, you guys go.”
Alright.
Xiao Jinyue thanked the witch and then left with her Beast Husbands.
Lin Ye was grinning foolishly all the way, and once almost bumped into a tree.
If Shan Chong hadn't reached out his large hand in time to block the tree, allowing Lin Ye to bump into his palm instead of the trunk, then it was estimated that Lin Ye would have a bump on his head now.
“My injuries can be healed, hehe…” He looked up and smiled foolishly, revealing his white, neat teeth, and looking a bit more naive.
“Alright, congratulations in advance.” Shan Chong also laughed, “When you get better, I'll have an assistant.”
Shan Chong had been the main force these days, hunting Beast Meat for everyone. If Lin Ye could recover, his burden would be reduced a lot.
Xiao Jinyue, however, looked towards Huo Yu.
He had been silent since leaving the witch, and although there was no emotion on his face, and he even slightly curved his lips when Lin Ye was happy, Xiao Jinyue could still see his sadness.
The Golden Eagle Clan's combat strength was extremely fierce, far surpassing ordinary eagles and vultures. Originally, his Strength was even greater than Shan Chong's, but now he had become a trash who needed to rely on others even for food.
Xiao Jinyue could understand this feeling very well. When she first arrived, she learned that she was a very weak Female in the Beast World, and even her Healing Power was not as good as other Females, and she was also extremely devastated.
If she had always been weak, it would have been fine, but she was afraid of being a strong person who had fallen from the clouds. This gap was not something that ordinary people could bear.
“Xiao Jinyue!”
A shout suddenly rang out in the distance, and Xiao Jinyue and her party stopped.
A Male Beastman ran over, "The Leader wants you to go there."
Leader?
Could it be that there was some progress on the matter of the stolen Beast Meat?
“What does the Leader want from you?” Lin Ye asked in confusion.
“My Beast Meat was lost, and I looked for the Leader. It should be related to this matter.” Xiao Jinyue stopped, “You guys go back, I'll go find the Leader.”
“Wait, let's go together.” Shan Chong turned with her.
Lin Ye and the others naturally followed, but everyone was still very surprised that she had looked for the Leader because of this small matter.
“No matter the Big Event or small, I don't allow anyone to ride on my head.” Regarding this, Xiao Jinyue only explained one sentence.
Everyone's reactions were different after hearing this.
Huo Yu and Shan Chong nodded in agreement, Bing Yan looked like he was seeing her for the first time, while Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly swallowed.
When Xiao Jinyue and the others arrived at the Leader's Wooden House, a Female was already standing there.
She was nervously twisting her fingers, and her eyes were also a little red. After seeing Xiao Jinyue, she shrank her neck, and her eyes didn't dare to meet hers.
“It's already been found out. Besides you and your Beast Husbands, only Qing Tao's scent was in your Cave, and she also admitted that she stole the Beast Meat.” The Leader raised her chin.
In this kind of matter, Beastmen handled it simply and efficiently.
The sense of smell of beasts was originally more sensitive than that of humans, and there were Beastmen in the entire Tribe with even more outstanding senses of smell, so it was only necessary to go around Xiao Jinyue's place once to determine who had been there.
So unless it was an inside job, it was not difficult to find someone out.
And so, Qing Tao was found out.
The Female called Qing Tao was even more flustered when she heard this, “I, I didn't mean to…”
“Not on purpose? Did you accidentally walk into my Cave, and accidentally picked up my Beast Meat, and then accidentally left?” Xiao Jinyue sneered, “Do you believe this?”
Qing Tao's face was as red as if it was about to bleed, she lowered her head and bit her lower lip.
“I have no grievances with you, and you don't seem to be lacking food or clothes, why did you do this?” Xiao Jinyue asked coldly.
“…She is a friend of Su Ruoxia.” The Leader explained.
Sure enough!
Xiao Jinyue had already guessed this answer, and at this moment, she didn't change her expression when she heard it, but she sighed inwardly.
She had been thinking that she hadn't offended anyone after coming to the Tribe, and there was no reason for someone to disgust her in this matter.
Most of it was because of Su Ruoxia.
“How can there be a Female like you, even stealing other people's Beast Meat, it's really shameless!” Lin Ye spat and glared at Qing Tao with his arms akimbo.
“Leader, I think it's better to make this matter public, so that other Tribe Members can know her true nature.” Huo Yu said slowly.
“That's right, that's how it should be!” Lin Ye agreed.
These words immediately made Qing Tao anxious, and she screamed, “No, no! Don't tell them…”
If others knew that she had actually gone to Xiao Jinyue's Cave to steal a piece of her meat, how would they view her?
She would be laughed at!
“Now you know you're afraid, then why did you do it?” Shan Chong sneered.
“I was just standing up for Ruoxia!”
Qing Tao didn't know if she was angry or anxious, and the words in her heart blurted out at this moment—
“Xiao Jinyue stole Ruoxia's life and was able to enjoy so many years of wealth in the Royal City, why? I just took a piece of her Beast Meat, and what about her, how much did she take from Ruoxia!”
“First, you don't call this taking, you call it stealing.” Xiao Jinyue shook a finger, “Second, the matter between me and Su Ruoxia has nothing to do with you, you are not qualified to do these things.”
Not to mention that she and Su Ruoxia were both recent transmigrators, and they didn't have the right to decide their fate, whether they were mistaken or not, that was a matter of the previous generation, and it didn't mean that she owed her anything.
Secondly, it was probably hard to say who was the real Xiao Family Member.
Qing Tao was so angry that her chest heaved, and tears flowed continuously, “You stole her life and still have no remorse, you…”
“Alright, stop talking about these irrelevant things.” Lin Ye was impatient, “My Master is unwell and has to go back to rest, and doesn't have time to argue with a thief. Leader, I think it's better to inform the Tribe Members about this matter, so that everyone can be careful and not be targeted in their Caves and lose something!”
