This look was captured by Elder Huo, and his heart started to burn with anxiety, even more fiercely. This was not good. It seemed like Rong Xian was really taken by Ruan Chanchan. If this went on, then it would become even harder for his daughter to become the consort of the prince. No, he could not allow that to happen; he had to do something.

Something.

Anything to stop it from happening.

While Elder Huo was busy scheming against Ruan Chanchan, trying to make his daughter the sole candidate for the consort, the totem warrior sent by the queen arrived at the Big Bear tribe. When the totem warrior arrived, Leader Xie was really worried. She was having a headache trying to stop Xie Daiyu from rushing out of the tribe every day.

Fortunately, the mating mark had not faded, which meant that Ruan Chanchan was alright and alive. If not, who knows how crazy her son would have turned? When she heard that someone from the Killer Whale Tribe came to look for her, she felt another buzzing headache coming. Don’t tell her that they came to cause trouble for her because their prince was caught in trouble near her territory.

But that shouldn’t be the case; they had sent the prince away with due respect.

But if that was not the case, then why did these people come to look for her? Leader Xie could not understand. In the end, she could only follow Madam Ye and come to the main cave where the totem warrior was waiting for her.

"Young warrior, what is the matter? Why did the prince send you on such a long and arduous journey?" asked Leader Xie, as she could not understand what was going on in the mind of the prince. They had treated the prince with kindness and hospitality. Don’t tell her that the prince was still upset with her?

The totem warrior drank some water and then, just as the queen asked him, relayed the information. "There is no need to worry. I come here in peace; her majesty has sent word that the woman you are looking for is currently recuperating in our tribe." The totem warrior did not want to take this journey either. He wanted to stay behind and eat the meals cooked by Ruan Chanchan, but the queen found him the culprit for not watching the kids when he was taking care of Ruan Chanchan and the rest.

Thus, she punished him by sending him on this journey. Fortunately, he swam very fast, and he was able to arrive at this place quite soon. Of course, the task of bringing these people together won’t be that quick.

"What?"

A new voice joined them, and Xie Daiyu, who was waiting outside, rushed into the cave at once. His eyes had long turned red, and this was the first time he had lost composure in such a manner. Goodness knows how worried he was these past few days. Now that he had heard that his Ruan Chanchan was alright, he felt as if a burden had been taken off his shoulders.

"Is she in your tribe?" Xie Daiyu asked as his chest heaved violently. He looked at the three-leaf patterns on his hand and sighed in relief. Fortunately, the mother of his children was still alive and well.

The totem warrior nodded. He already knew that Ruan Chanchan had a mate who was also the son of the tribe leader and was not surprised when he saw that Xie Daiyu had come asking for questions. He simply said, "That’s right, she is with our tribe. I don’t know what happened but after she was attacked, she came drifting over to the Killer Whale Tribe. In a manner, she was lucky that she was able to stay afloat for so long or else she would have drowned or been eaten by some beast."

"Attacked?" Xie Daiyu’s eyes turned sharp when he heard that Ruan Chanchan had been attacked. Did they not say that she had fallen while collecting some herbs? How come she was attacked?

Even Leader Xie turned serious. It seemed like they were following the wrong lead from the start. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"You mean to say that Ruan Chanchan was attacked?" How come none of them found out about it?

"That’s what Miss Ruan told us when we asked her about the injuries."

Leader Xie knew that Ruan Chanchan was not the kind of person who would lie about something so serious, and her expression couldn’t help but shift. She wondered what was even wrong with these people in the tribe. Ruan Chanchan had done so much for them, and yet she was still being attacked when no one was paying attention? What was even more shocking was that they actually defied the law of the tribe!

There had never been such a case in ages, but now.

Leader Xie closed her eyes and took in a few deep breaths before saying, "Thank you for coming all the way here and telling us about this matter. I will arrange for a team to follow you, and then we will bring Ruan Chanchan back." Since Ruan Chanchan was attacked once, Leader Xie did not want to take any chances again. She would arrange for a good team to bring Ruan Chanchan back.

Soon, the news that Ruan Chanchan had been found spread throughout the tribe.

When Hei Ya heard that Ruan Chanchan was found, he was shocked. At first, he was guilty when he attacked Ruan Chanchan, but soon, he started to hope against hope that Ruan Chanchan was dead. Because if she were found alive, then she would tell everyone the truth that he had attacked her. If that happened, what would happen to him? Attacking the people of the tribe was not allowed.

If they were found doing such a heinous thing, they would be punished gravely.

Now that Ruan Chanchan had been found alive, what was he going to do? How was he going to hide his crime?
