Chapter 60: Chapter 58 Conflict

"I’m telling you," Xiao Yi said, unable to hold back after listening to the chef, "your way of thinking is too outdated. A child isn’t just an extension of one’s own life, and you have no right to decide a child’s life."

"What do you know?" the chef glared at Xiao Yi, "In this lifetime, I have nothing else but this one daughter... Forget it, you wouldn’t understand. You might as well get out now, there’s nothing here for you."

"...Alright."

Xiao Yi didn’t want to say anything more and immediately headed for the doorway.

But, just as he was about to reach the door, Xiao Yi seemed to suddenly remember something, and he asked the chef:

"Oh, there’s one more thing I forgot to ask you."

"There’s more?" the chef said with some impatience.

"You said there’s not much food around here, right?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled, "Then why not just use those wild beasts that fell from the sky? Aren’t they all gifts from nature?"

"...Huh? What nonsense are you spouting?" The chef’s mouth twitched immediately, "Those beasts were brought by the Wolf God, how could they possibly be edible?"

"Is that so?" Xiao Yi remained skeptical.

The chef himself didn’t know whether the meat was edible or not; he simply guessed it might be poisonous since it was related to the Wolf God.

Which means, it might be worth a try!

Xiao Yi then asked, "...Where did you drag those wild beasts to?"

Without much thought, the chef replied, "If you walk out from the entrance of the village and head right, I’ve thrown all the corpses of the wild beasts in a wild field near the cliff."

"Oh, I see."

"Hmm?" The chef looked puzzled, "Why do you ask?"

"It’s nothing, just asking." With that, Xiao Yi left the kitchen.

...

After a while, the Feast began on the second day.

Everyone gathered again in the ceremony hall.

"Let’s begin today’s Feast," Iron Brother inhaled deeply once everyone was seated, "Grandmother has died, but we must keep moving forward. We must try our best to find the wolf hiding amongst us during the Feast rituals and end the Feast as quickly as possible. That’s the best tribute we can give to Grandmother."

As he spoke, Iron Brother looked around at everyone and asked,

"The wolf didn’t kill anyone yesterday, I wonder if the wolf chose not to kill or if..."

"You are Iron Brother, right?" At that moment, Dick interrupted him, saying, "The wolf didn’t kill yesterday? That’s impossible. After five days and five nights, the wolf must die; they cannot afford not to kill. If no one was killed by the wolf yesterday, it’s all thanks to the guard."

"That’s... true," Iron Brother’s presence weakened slightly, "Then, I ask the guard to reveal themselves. With this, we will have two people confirmed..."

"Reveal themselves?" Dick interrupted again, "What are you talking about? The guard is key to our victory over the wolf, how can they reveal themselves? What if the guard is killed by the wolf, can you take responsibility?"

"This..." Iron Brother was momentarily lost for words.

Seeing this, Dick couldn’t help but snicker inwardly.

With Grandmother dead, the remaining villagers really couldn’t amount to much.

Of course, should the guard be among the villagers, that would be an exception. After all, for a guard to be able to precisely guess the wolf’s target out of nine people showed impressive ability.

Dick had already planned to request the guard to protect him, so before that, he had to seize absolute speaking rights during the Feast!

Just then, Sheraya glanced at Dick, then spoke:

"To guard against the wolf’s target among so many people, that guard seems very trustworthy. So, there’s no need for the guard to reveal themselves, nor follow anyone else’s suggestions. We trust the guard’s judgment. And by the way, Rule Five, the guard can protect someone from being killed by the wolf, but it doesn’t specify that person can’t be the guard themselves, so if the guard feels it’s necessary, protect yourself. You are very important too."

Sheraya was well aware that the guard wasn’t so reliable, for he and Xiao Yi hadn’t killed anyone last night.

However, the guard was still a troublesome presence, and Sheraya certainly didn’t want the guard protecting Dick.

Although he had allowed him to survive the first night, Dick was ultimately a dangerous guy, not a lower priority than the guard.

That’s why Sheraya specifically brought up Rule Five, implying that the guard should protect himself, so he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to take out Dick. Moreover, this move appeared to be devising strategies for the human camp.

Dick, of course, had also noticed Sheraya’s intentions and glared angrily at him.

"Sheraya, you..."

Even though the old lady was dead, it did not mean that Dick would have smooth sailing from now on; there were even more troublesome enemies waiting for him.

It seemed that at least until identities were completely confirmed, Sheraya was determined to fight him to the end.

But Dick didn’t care; if need be, he would simply demonstrate his importance in the next round, letting the guard feel that he must be protected.

"Er..." Seeing Dick and Sheraya glaring at each other without speaking, Iron Brother had to speak up again, "Then let’s not reveal the guard’s identity. Next... does anyone have any discoveries or clues? Anything at all that can help us find the wolf, everything is welcome..."

"Wait a minute!"

Iron Brother was in mid-sentence when the chef interrupted him.

The chef stared coldly at Iron Brother, and questioned, "Why... are you hosting the Feast?"

"I..." Iron Brother paused before he said, "Because someone has to do it."

"So you’re doing it?" The chef couldn’t help but sneer, "Do you think you’re qualified to replace the old lady?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the ceremony hall changed instantly.

Everyone could sense something was amiss and turned to look at the two men.

Iron Brother furrowed his brow, "What do you mean by that?"

"No offense," the chef spread his hands, "I just think you’re quite remarkable, even managing to get your hands on someone else’s wife. Do you think you’re the most capable man in the village?"

"You!" Iron Brother immediately stood up, and Xiao Shan once again made his presence known to everyone!

He glared at the chef, his eyes full of rage, and said through gritted teeth, "Take back what you just said!"

Seeing this, Yun Sha also hurriedly stood up, "Ah Tie, let it go, this is the Feast, stop talking. And my husband, there’s nothing between Ah Tie and me..."

"Shut up!" The chef shouted at her angrily, "This isn’t your place to speak!"

"..." Yun Sha had no choice but to sit down.

"Dad, what’s gotten into you?" At this moment, Xi Yun also spoke up.

But the chef’s response was, once again, unexpected.

"Xi Yun," he said, "You should also keep quiet and sit nicely."

"..." Xi Yun was stunned; she could see that her father was serious this time, and she could no longer stop him.

Even Xi Yun was unable to stop it, a confrontation between the chef and Iron Brother was inevitable.

But no one knew why the chef had suddenly changed like this, including Xiao Yi.

Except for the live audience, they knew the reason, and because they knew, they couldn’t help but exclaim:

"This was just a small provocation, how come it worked so well?"
