Chapter 453 - 452, Surprise Arrives_1
Aside from Chief Ge Xing, the tent also housed Clan Leaders Shi Jie, Xiong Da, and Meng Zhuo. They looked up as Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan entered, with Ge Xing gesturing to the two beast skin cushions beside him, "Sit down first."
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan exchanged a look, both knowing full well why they were summoned-- they were likely to discuss the decision of the Divine Tree Clan to postpone the major trading meeting.
"Shaman Ji Nuan, the Divine Tree Clan delaying the big trading meeting is clearly waiting for Bertel to wake up. This situation is very disadvantageous for our tribes. Other tribes know that the Divine Tree Clan favors the Gru Tribe. Today, three tribes have already left our tribal alliance and joined the Gru Tribe. In this situation, we will be at a disadvantage in the future trading priority." Meng Zhuo looked at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan looked up at Meng Zhuo, "What does Chief Meng Zhuo suggest?"
Meng Zhuo, Shi Jie, and Xiong Da exchanged glances, after which Meng muses with a bitter smile, "I want to go to the Divine Tree Clan’s settlement with other clan leaders to discuss this issue, hoping that it won’t affect our trading. We are waiting for you, Shaman Ji Nuan, in the hope that you’ll join us. I know that you have made a medicinal powder that can treat this insect disease. If you can... then we may be able to turn around this obviously inconvenient situation."
Ji Nuan’s face was slightly warm, these three tribes hadn’t thought about handing himself and the Watson Tribe over to the Gru Tribe. This raised Ji Nuan’s esteem for them, "The physiology of the Divine Wood Tree people and the orcs are different, so the hopes for treating the insect disease are not great. What if the Divine Wood Tree Clan still favours Gru’s Tribe?"
Meng Zhuo’s face hardened, "This was Bertel’s fault to begin with. If the Divine Wood Tree people still insist on favoring him, then we will follow the rules. Our remaining tribes are not necessarily going to lose."
Seeing the resolute look of the three clan leaders, preparing to fight back against the opposition, Ji Nuan suddenly laughed, "The three leaders needn’t worry, the delay of this major trading meeting is merely an incidental reason due to Bertel."
Noticing Ji Nuan’s assured demeanor, the three leaders seemed to understand something, their eyes lit up instantly. Xiong Da rubbed his hands with anticipation, "What does Shaman Ji Nuan mean?"
Ji Nuan didn’t leave them hanging, "The main reason for delaying the trading meeting is because the Divine Tree Clan invited me to treat their insect disease. Although I haven’t yet produced an effective medicinal powder, I have found a method to prolong their lives. Therefore, this meeting will not have any impact on us. The three leaders just relax, and get ready for tomorrow’s trading competition."
Meng Zhuo and the other two were beyond ecstatic, they didn’t expect this turn of events. The three looked at each other and burst into laughter, it was all teeth and no eyes.
Having said his piece, Ji Nuan also got up to leave, "I’ve been busy all day, and am a bit tired. I’ll go rest."
The four clan leaders nodded with smiles.
"You must be exhausted, go rest up."
"That’s right, I brought a newly hunted snow beast, and will ask the orcs to roast it for you."
"Stop the chatter, let Ji Nuan go and rest." Chief Ge Xing interrupted the eager voices of concern, attracting a few sharp glances.
