Chapter 104: Partnership

A Lu Da scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "Why? After I get Xu Xiang’s treasure, shouldn’t the elders target me instead of her?"

A Lu Zhi looked at his elder brother helplessly, and said, "Eldest Brother, they dare not target you. There are two reasons for that. One is because you are the strongest warrior in our tribe and also our next chieftain. With these two identities, even if they want to target you, they will consider the price they have to pay for it. For example, getting banished from our tribe."

He then looked at the others and said, "The second reason is because Xu Xiang handed over her treasure to you in front of everyone. In case something happens to you or the treasure, we can use this as an excuse to publicly investigate this case. And I’m sure the elders wouldn’t give us the chance to do that."

"Also, when they saw that she gave you the treasure easily, they would think that she had more than one treasure. Therefore, attacking her is better than stealing the treasure from you. Less risky and easier to do, since she is not one of our people. In case someone finds out, they could just find an excuse to blame her and then get away freely." He said while shrugging.

After hearing his explanation, A Lu Da finally understood, and said, "Then I will let my guards protect Xu Xiang as well."

A Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "It’s better to leave Xu Xiang’s safety to my second elder brother and third elder brother. If there are too many people protecting her, the elders will notice that something is wrong, and our plan will be fully exposed. What’s more, just the two of them are enough to deal with the elite guards of the elders. You’d better arrange your own guards to keep an eye on Nalan Tuya and her mother. In case she finds something and reports it to the elders, it will be troublesome."

Xu Xiang raised his eyebrows when she heard what A Lu Zhi said just now. She looked at A Lu Yu, who always had a gentle smile on his face, and then at A Lu Qian, who had a cold face. Looking at them now, she couldn’t believe what A Lu Zhi said. However, since she has never seen their strength, she will not underestimate the two of them.

A Lu Zhi thought for a while, looked at the others and asked, "When would you like to start the plan?"

"As soon as possible." Xu Xiang replied calmly.

"How about today’s lunchtime? There will be many people around the open field who can be our witnesses." A Lu Yu suggested.

The others, after considering his suggestion, agreed to begin their plans at lunchtime today.

A Lu Qian glanced at his elder brother and said, "One more thing. We must prepare Xu Xiang’s tent before lunch. Xu Xiang cannot stay with Nalan Tuya because she works with the elders. Although we don’t know her reason yet, we can’t let Nalan Tuya know about our plan. It is best to take precautionary measures."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at A Lu Da. Sensing their gazes, he looked at them and said, "I will prepare one for Xu Xiang immediately."

Seeing his eldest brother’s calm expression, A Lu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With a smile on the corner of his lips, he said, "I predict that the elders will make their move tonight. Third Younger Brother, let’s get ready to receive them later."

A Lu Qian nodded, and the two left the tent. Seeing this, A Lu Da looked at Xu Xiang and his fourth younger brother and said, "Then I will go prepare a tent for Xu Xiang."

"Okay." A Lu Zhi nodded at him.

When the door curtain closed behind A Lu Da, A Lu Zhi looked at Xu Xiang and said, "I think this is the first time we’re talking alone, right?"

Xu Xiang looked at his calm expression and nodded. She didn’t know why he said this suddenly, but she just listened quietly without saying anything.

After a moment of silence, A Lu Zhi said, "I heard from my eldest brother that you want to teach us how to grow crops on this land. Is that true?"

She calmly replied: "Yes."

He stared at her for a moment, smiled softly, and said, "You are such an interesting person. You are full of mystery, but at the same time a very transparent and straightforward person. Can I ask you a question?"

She observed him for a second, then said, "Please ask."

A Lu Zhi touched his chin and smiled at her and then asked, "If I offer you a partnership, will you accept it?"

Hearing his question, Xu Xiang raised her eyebrows. This is the first person in this world who wanted to become her partner. A Lu Da made an agreement with her, but they were not partners at all. While her relationship with the Xiao family is because of the grace of saving lives. And when she saved Xiao Jing before, it was over.

Xu Xiang was very interested in his offer and asked, "Why do you want to be my partner? What do you want, and what can you give me?"

Listening to her question, A Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Well, the answer is simple. The reason I offer this partnership is because I need your help to change the fate of my people. As for what I can offer you... What do you want from me?"

Xu Xiang smiled slightly when he asked her, and she said, "To be honest, I don’t think you have what I want. Also, I don’t think I can help you either."

As he supported his chin with his hand, A Lu Zhi looked at her, pursed his lips before saying, "Indeed. With your ability, it seems that I really don’t have anything that you want. But I’m very sure you can help me and my people."
