Chapter 296 – Avoid Water (2/2)
Only three people of your tribe have come here but you still wish to go back and discuss? Su Gu forced a smile again, “When can I expect a reply?”
“Tomorrow.” said Shao Xuan.
“Okay.”
Although Shao Xuan did not agree, he did not refuse immediately either. Thinking this way, Su Gu was in a better mood.
After separating from Su Gu, Tuo said, “The third young master seems to be different from other slave masters.” Other slave masters would not be so kind and polite.
“In reality, he is not different from the rest, it is just that he is currently forced to act like that.” said Shao Xuan. The third young master didn’t own any slaves or have an alliance with any tribe until now. Without any credit, he wasn’t able to compete with his two brothers and failed to be a noteworthy Lordship candidate.
Shao Xuan really had to think about whether to cooperate with Su Gu.
Since the Flaming Horn tribe was inferior to other tribes here, the other two young masters may look down upon the three people. It was very difficult for Shao Xuan and the other two to form an alliance with them. Even if they succeeded, those two young masters would not take them seriously.
Shao Xuan intended to gather more information but other tribes refused to share it with them. To cooperate with local people was indeed a good way to get information.
Maybe Su Gu was worthless. But it may not necessarily be the truth since he had grown up healthily in such an environment.
When Shao Xuan returned to the house in the tribal area, the camel was chewing hay. This hay was a kind of grass growing inside the city, it was as thick as a finger with a long hollow rod like shape. By the looks of it, the camel seemed to like it very much.
Starting at the pile of hay, Shao Xuan was thinking about something.
When the camel found that Shao Xuan was staring at the hay, it moved its body and blocked Shao Xuan’s view. However, Shao Xuan directly pulled out two straws from the pile of hay.
“Grunt——”
“Stop grunting. I’ll bring some back to you tomorrow.” Recently, because of the lack of water, many of the grass patches dried up and got turned into hay in the city.
When Shao Xuan took the camel’s hay into the house, Lei and Tuo thought whether Shao Xuan was going to chew it himself.
However, after Shao Xuan entered the house, he just picked up a straw and closed his eyes. After a moment, Shao Xuan began to tie a knot with the straw.
Lei looked at Tuo questioningly, as if he was asking what Ah-Xuan was doing.
Tuo shook his head.
Whatever Shao Xuan did, they could only wait.
After a while, Shao Xuan opened his eyes. Looking at the straw knot in his hand, he could not help but frown.
Noticing Shao Xuan’s serious expression, Tuo asked, “Ah-Xuan, what happened?”
“Nothing, I plan to cooperate with Su Gu.” said Shao Xuan.
Lei opened his mouth but did not say anything against it. When they left the tribe, the Shaman and the Chief said that the important affairs should be decided by Shao Xuan.
Early the next morning, before Shao Xuan went out, Su Gu came to meet them. Although Su Gu did not have an alliance with any tribe, he knew about the tribal area in the city and knew where Shao Xuan lived.
Lei and Tuo didn’t expect that Su Gu would come to look for them personally, and were surprised.
“What’s your decision?” Su Gu asked as he entered the house.
Shao Xuan did not answer him directly, but said, “You’d better avoid water today.”
Water?
It hasn’t rained for a long time, why avoid water? Drinking water? You want me die of thirst?
Hearing these words, Su Gu thought that Shao Xuan was telling a joke. He held back his anger, looked at Shao Xuan with a serious expression and asked, “Why do you say that?”
“If you are still willing to cooperate with us tomorrow, let’s form an alliance.” Shao Xuan ignored the anger on Su Gu’s face.
“Alright!” Su Gu clenched his fists and felt that the three people really had no sense of appreciating favors – but he felt something was wrong. When he saw Shao Xuan, he was a little frightened. After thinking about it, he went out.
