"She wasn’t talking about the contest." Lian said, stepping closer, an annoyed glint in her eyes, clearly she wasn’t pleased with Lin Mu’s decision. "Didn’t it ever occur to you that If you leave the tribe’s protection, you’re putting yourself at risk. Our father can’t protect you out there."
Lin Mu paused on hearing her words, he remained silent for a moment before saying. "I can handle myself."

Lian crossed her arms, her frustration evident. "And some of the men in the hunting party don’t want you to come back alive..." She said with an irritated countenance.
The weight of her words settled over Lin Mu but he sneered instead. "You mean your two suitors," he said flatly after a brief silence, clearly not found of the two.
Mei nodded. "Among others. They see you as a threat, not just to their chances with us, but to the tribe itself. If they get the opportunity..."
Lin Mu sighed, running a hand through his hair. "So I’m walking into a trap then, that’s what you’re trying to say?."
