Chapter 81: Something Is Fishy

Listening to A Lu Da’s words just now, Xu Xiang fell silent. A Lu Da looked at her in silence with raised eyebrows, waiting for her answer.

"..." ’This elder sister is older than your father, young man.’

Xu Xiang coughed awkwardly and said hesitantly: "I am twenty years old this year."

After finishing speaking, she thought: ’Well... I should be twenty years old now, right?’

Not noticing the strangeness on her face, A Lu Da nodded and said, "Since we are similar in age, you can just call me by my name. Come, I’ll take you to my fiancee’s place."

After saying that, he took her to the west area of the Xiuluo tribe’s camp. When they came to the west area of ​​the camp, Xu Xiang saw a young woman looking at her for a long time before smiling at her.

She was surprised when the young woman smiled at her and thought: ’Huh? Is she smiling at me? Is there really someone who is not afraid of outsiders here?’

Just when she was still confused by the young woman’s smile, A Lu Da smiled and waved at the young woman.

A Lu Da approached the young woman and asked, "Tuya, why are you here? I remember you said yesterday that you would plant crops with your grandmother."

Xu Xiang saw the young woman called Tuya smiling gently at A Lu Da. When A Lu Da held her hand, she said shyly, "Mother said, before it’s too late, I should make my wedding dress. So today it was only my mother who went back to the Zhiwu Tribe to help my maternal grandparents grow crops."

Hearing what she said, A Lu Da’s smile became even brighter. Xu Xiang, who was standing aside, suddenly felt that she had become a light bulb. After waiting for a while, A Lu Da finally remembered her existence.

He looked at her and said, "Tuya, this is the person who saved my father’s life. Her name is..."

Seeing his awkward smile, Xu Xiang smiled politely at Nalan Tuya and said, "You can call me Xu Xiang."

Scratching his head shyly, A Lu Da said, "Xu Xiang, this is my fiancee, Nalan Tuya."

Nalan Tuya nodded to Xu Xiang with a smile, and said, "Thank you for saving our chieftain, Xu Xiang. I heard from A Lu Da that you can also solve the water problem. You are really our savior."

Hearing what she said, Xu Xiang nodded and calmly said, "The water problem has been solved. Now, I only need some time to prepare enough antidotes for everyone. I have an agreement with A Lu Da and I only fulfill my parts of agreement."

Nalan Tuya was surprised to hear that Xu Xiang had an agreement with A Lu Da. She looked at her fiancé and asked, "You make a deal with her? What did you promise her?"

Seeing her nervous expression, Xu Xiang was a little puzzled. Thinking about whether she might have misunderstood, she said, "Miss Nalan, you don’t need to worry. A Lu Da only promised to take me out of here after I solved the water problem and prepared the antidote for everyone."

Contrary to what Xu Xiang expected, Nalan Tuya became more and more anxious after hearing her explanation. She held A Lu Da’s hand tightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Are you crazy? How can you promise that to her?" She asked in a hurry.

’What’s wrong with A Lu Da showing me the way out of here? Why is she overreacting so much?’

This time, Xu Xiang became suspicious when she saw her reaction. A Lu Da gently stroked Nalan Tuya’s face and said, "Don’t worry. Nothing will happen."

Nalan Tuya looked at his calm face and said, "But, you–"

Before she finished speaking, A Lu Da interrupted her, and said, "Alright, let’s not talk about this."

Sensing that their words and demeanor were very suspicious, Xu Xiang probingly asked, "Is everything all right?"

A Lu Da looked at her, and said, "Everything is fine. Since I promised to take you out of here, I will make sure to bring you out from here."

Xu Xiang narrowed her eyes and observed them. Seeing Nalan Tuya holding his hand tightly and looking at her anxious face, Xu Xiang believes that there is something wrong.

’They are hiding something and it must be something important. Something is fishy.’

Noticing Xu Xiang staring at them, A Lu Da hurriedly said, "Tuya, can Xu Xiang stay with you tonight? I don’t have time to prepare a place for her to stay tonight."

Nalan Tuya still wanted to continue what she said just now, but A Lu Da held her hand even tighter. She paused for a moment, lowered her eyes and said, "Um, she can stay with me. Today, mother will stay at my maternal grandparent’s house, and it’s just me alone here."

Getting her permission, A Lu Da nodded, looked at Xu Xiang and asked, "It’s getting late, would you like to have lunch with us?"

Xu Xiang looked at the sun and found that it was already past two or three o’clock in the afternoon. She thought for a while and said, "I want to take a break first. You can go and have your lunch."

The two looked at each other, and Nalan Tuya said, "Then please come with me. I will show you my tent."

"Thank you, Miss Nalan." Xu Xiang said with a faint smile on her lips.

Nalan Tuya nodded to her, and walked back to her tent hand in hand with A Lu Da, while Xu Xiang followed behind them. After walking for a few minutes, Nalan Tuya stopped in front of a medium size tent and said, "This is my tent. You can rest with ease inside."

Xu Xiang looked at the tent and said, "Thank you."

A Lu Da glanced at Xu Xiang and said to his fiancee: "Then, let’s go to lunch first."

He then looked at Xu Xiang and said, "Xu Xiang, I will see you later."

"Enjoy your lunch." She said with a smile on her face.
