Chapter 91: Accidentally Eavesdropped

Xu Xiang tilted her head, thinking for a while and asked, "Why did you tell me this?"

Gu Yanjiu clenched her hands and said calmly: "I want to ask you something."

Xu Xiang glanced at her tightly clenched hands, looked at her calm face, and said, "Then you can ask."

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is Xiao Shao, the supreme general of the Shang Empire, still alive or already dead?"

Hearing that she spoke of Xiao Shao’s name, Xu Xiang’s eyes flickered for a split second. She smiled and said, "Before I answer your question, I want to know one thing. Your answer will determine whether I answer your question or not."

Gu Yanjiu nodded and said, "Please ask."

Xu Xiang touched her chin, observed her expression and asked, "What is your reason for asking whether Xiao Shao is still alive or already dead?"

Hearing Xu Xiang’s question, Gu Yanjiu smiled. Xu Xiang looked at her smiling face and didn’t speak, waiting for her answer.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yanjiu said, "Because only Supreme General Xiao Shao can help me kill the person I want to kill."

Xu Xiang chuckled and said, "Interesting. Then I will answer your question. Xiao Shao was alive two days ago. As for now, I don’t know."

When Gu Yanjiu heard Xu Xiang’s answer, she couldn’t hide her excitement. Xu Xiang looked into her eyes, and saw the burning hope and the deep hatred in her calm pupils.

Xu Xiang glanced at Nuan Nuan, thought for a while, and said, "Revenge is a double-edged sword. Since you have a family and a daughter, it is better to think carefully before exacting your revenge."

Gu Yanjiu raised her head and looked at Xu Xiang’s indifferent expression. She smiled at Xu Xiang and said, "Thank you for answering my question."

After speaking, she lowered her head and looked at her daughter who was happily eating ice crystal chocolate. She bent down slightly, held her daughter’s hand, and said, "Nuan Nuan, bid farewell to the Elder Sister. We need to go home before your father comes back."

Nuan Nuan nodded her head, looked up at Xu Xiang, and said with a smile, "Elder Sister, goodbye."

Knowing that Gu Yanjiu didn’t take her reminder to heart, Xu Xiang smiled at Nuan Nuan and said, "Mhm. Goodbye."

Gu Yanjiu nodded at her, and left with her daughter. Standing in front of the tent, Xu Xiang looked at their backs, sighed slightly, and shook her head. She looked at the crescent moon in the night sky for a moment, then turned and walked away.

Because the moonlight is weak and the surroundings are dark, Xu Xiang didn’t notice that she had walked to the underground cellar of the Xiuluo tribe. Seeing that there was no one around, she planned to turn around and walk back to Nalan Tuya’s tent. However, she had just walked a few steps when she felt two humans’ presence not far away.

She stopped, looked around, and then came to a piled up wooden box on the side of the underground cellar. Xu Xiang stood behind the boxes and peeped out. Unexpectedly, she saw Nalan Tuya and Tu Han talking behind the large storage tent.

’That person is one of the elders of the Xiuluo tribe. Why did the two of them secretly meet here? They even hid behind a tent.’

Xu Xiang wanted to hear what they were talking about, but their voices were very low. Although her five senses are better than ordinary people, she still can’t hear anything from this distance. Seeing that Tu Han took out a small wooden box, Xu Xiang became more curious.

She observed for a few seconds and took out something from her own space. Xu Xiang put on the sound tracker on her right ear and looked at the two of them. This time, with the help of the small sound tracker, she could hear their conversation clearly.

From a distance, she saw Tu Han pushing the small wooden box into Nalan Tuya’s hand. Xu Xiang saw that Nalan Tuya’s face was ashen, as she said, "I... I can’t do it."

Xu Xiang heard Tu Han’s angry voice come from the sound tracker. "Don’t forget what you promised me just now! You don’t want that thing anymore?!"

After Tu Han finished speaking, Nalan Tuya reached out tremblingly, and took the small wooden box in Tu Han’s hand. She looked at the small wooden box in fear and fell silent. Seeing her frightened face, Tu Han clicked his tongue.

He narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully: "Remember what I told you just now. If you dare to tell others..."

Xu Xiang could feel his murderous intent from where she stood. She looked at Nalan Tuya’s trembling body for a second, and then heard Nalan Tuya’s weak voice coming from the sound tracker.

"I... I won’t tell anyone." She promised with difficulty.

Tu Han gave her a threatening look, and was about to leave. After making sure that no one was around, he came out from behind the tent. Before he took a step, Nalan Tuya grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Wait!" She stopped him.

Turning around, Tu Han glared at her, and asked angrily: "What?!"

Swallowing her fear, Nalan Tuya looked at Tu Han and said bravely: "Promise me, you won’t hurt A Lu Da. If you dare to hurt him... I will take you to hell with me."

Hearing her threat, Tu Han sneered, pulled his clothes from Nalan Tuya’s hand, and said, "As long as he doesn’t interfere, we can spare his life. Just complete your mission and nothing will happen to him or your mother. Remember, we are already grasshoppers on the same rope."

After speaking, he left that place. Xu Xiang looked at Nalan Tuya in silence, and saw her leave after a while. Turning off the sound tracker and putting it back into her space, Xu Xiang stood there pondering about the information she just got.
