On the way back, Lan Xue was a little sullen and didn't talk much along the way.

"Cher, why don't you speak? Are you thinking about that big brother Ye of yours? ”

Wu Dan grew up watching Lan Xue, and as soon as he saw her sullen appearance, coupled with her previous performances in Ye Xiao's place, he knew what she was thinking.

"Huh? Uncle Wu, I didn't! You...... Oops, I'm ignoring you! ”

Lan Xue saw Wu Dan looking at her with a smile, and made a joke, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she stomped her feet and ran away.

"Haha......"

Seeing her like this, Wu Dan laughed louder, and he was old and refined, and he had already seen that this little girl had that meaning to Ye Xiao.

For the idea of recruiting Ye Xiao and others, Wu Dan did not give up, he knew that capable people like Ye Xiao and others would definitely not easily make a decision to join any tribe, for Ye Xiao's refusal, he thought that it was Ye Xiao's words of absence, so Wu Dan did not take it to heart.

Along the way, he was also thinking about what method to take to get Ye Xiao to agree to join their Kunshan tribe, originally he didn't have any ideas, but at this moment, seeing Lan Xue's shy appearance, he suddenly noticed in his heart, just to implement this matter, he had to go back and ask Lan Xue's father, who was the patriarch of the Kunshan tribe.

Lan Xue, who was walking in the front team, didn't know that Wu Dan had regarded him as the key to successfully recruiting Ye Xiao, she was also very confused now, she was in awe of Ye Xiao at first, but then Ye Xiao's approachability and unique charm made her gradually admire Ye Xiao.

Especially when she was about to leave at the end, this emotion became even more obvious, so that from the time she left to the present, all she was thinking about was Ye Xiao.

She sneaked out this time, and when she came back, she didn't know how to be punished by her father, for what she said to Ye Xiao at the end, she would often go over to see it, she thought about it now that it was probably just her own wishful thinking, and when she thought that she might not be able to see Ye Xiao and others in the future, she was a little frustrated, so she didn't speak all the way.

With the presence of the wounded Ug, they advanced much slower, and spent the night in a cave, and set out early the next morning, until the afternoon they returned to their tribe with tired steps.

The Kunshan tribe is built on a 200-meter-high mountain, and there are people living from the foot of the mountain to the top, but compared to the house where Ye Xiao and others live, the house where the people of the Kunshan tribe live at the foot of the mountain cannot be called a house at all, at best, it is a shack built at will with some wood and animal fur.

The higher up the people live, the better the place, some live in the hollows of large trees, and some live in some small caves.

Near the top of the mountain, there is a cave, and there is a cave in it, which is a very wide cave space, enough to accommodate hundreds of people to live at the same time, which is where the patriarch and several people of very high status in the clan live.

This world is like this, although they are people of the same tribe, but there are still some hierarchies among the tribesmen, the lower status can only live at the foot of the mountain, and the higher the person who lives, the higher the status, so it depends on how high a person's status in the clan is, just look at where he lives.

Not only the Kunshan tribe where Lan Xue and the others are, but in this entire wild ice field, all tribes follow this hierarchical division within themselves, and the same is true between tribes, and weak tribes can only survive by relying on strong tribes.

And only the strong tribe can have more hunting grounds, where everything speaks with fists, and no one will pity the weak, this world is so cruel.

It is not uncommon for tribes to fight with each other in order to compete for more hunting grounds.

Lan Xue, Wu Dan and the others were relieved to see the location of the tribe not far ahead, not only to avoid those fierce beasts along the way, but also to be careful of the sneak attacks of other tribes at all times, especially the Heiya tribe.

But now it's okay, when you get here, it's in the territory of the Kunshan tribe, if the Heiya tribe dares to come, it will be naked equivalent to a declaration of war.

Although their Kunshan tribe and the Heiya tribe have always been rivals, competing with each other for large hunting grounds, but they are all small frictions, and a relatively powerful tribe like them will not easily have large-scale battles.

If the two strong fight, there will be casualties, if the two of them are inseparable, some of the surrounding tribes with slightly smaller strength will definitely not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the void, this kind of result is not what the two of them want to see, so although the two families have some friction, they will refrain from expanding the incident.

Walking on the way to the top of the mountain, from time to time, some clansmen greeted them, nodding casually at these udans, while Lan Xue smiled and responded one by one.

Because of her beautiful face and the fact that she treats everyone in the clan equally, the entire Kunshan tribe, whether it is a low-status clansman or a high-status clansman, has great respect for Lan Xue.

Especially those clansmen with relatively low status, not only because she is the Atta (young patriarch) of the Kunshan tribe, but also because Lan Xue has a bodhisattva-like heart, and they are grateful to Lan Xue.

There was no pause along the way, and they came directly to the cave at the top of the mountain.

At this time, in the hall in the middle of the cave, a burly old man dressed in animal clothes and holding a scepter was standing in front of the stone seat at the highest point of the hall with his back to them.

"Patriarch, I brought Cher back."

Udan bowed to the old man and whispered.

The old man turned around when he heard the sound, and glanced at Lan Xue with an expressionless face, so frightened that the latter immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the old man.

"Lao Wu, thank you for your hard work, there's nothing to do here, you go down and rest first." The old man waved his hand at Udan and motioned for him to go down and rest first.

"Yes, Patriarch."

Wu Dan bowed, then turned around to leave, before leaving, he found Lan Xue looking at him with a pleading face, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he threw a helpless look at Lan Xue.

After the Wudan and the others went out, the old man's originally tense face relaxed slightly, "You kid, you don't let me worry all day long, how do you think I should punish you?" ”

The old man's voice was not loud, and it sounded like there was some blame in his words, but in Lan Xue's ears, it was very different, she was a little stunned, and she didn't know why her father seemed to be a different person today.

You know, in the past, when she made a mistake, her father would first blame her loudly, and then lock her up for a few days, but today her father's tone simply made her a little uncomfortable.

"Father, I ......"

Lan Xue was about to say something, but was interrupted by the old man.

"Alright, you can go and rest first. Oh, by the way, when you go out, help me call Udan in, I have something to discuss with him. ”

"Oh."

Hearing her father say this, Lan Xue could only agree, and then retreated.

Lan Xue came out of the cave and found Wu Dan waiting outside, "Uncle Wu, my father let you in, saying that he had something to talk to you about." ”

"Okay, I got it." Udans nodded, and asked again as if he was not at ease, "Did your father scold you again?" ”

"Well, no, Uncle Wu, my father just said a word, and then let me come out." Lan Xue said with a frown.

"Oh, didn't scold you?" A trace of doubt flashed on Udan's face, but he quickly covered it up again, "This is a good thing, don't think too much, go and rest first!" Udan, who patted Lan Xue on the shoulder, comforted her.

"Well, Uncle Wu, then I'll go and rest first." Lan Xue smiled sweetly at Udan and walked behind a stone not far away, turning around and entering a smaller cave.

Outside the main cave, Udan's back looked at Lan Xue's departing back, thoughtful, and then walked into the cave again.

"Well, Lao Wu, you did a good job, that young man named Ye Xiao and his brother, if it is really like what you said, then you must be recruited into our tribe, you are more familiar with them, and you are responsible for this matter."

When Wu Dan told the old man about the situation of Ye Xiao and the others, the old man was silent for a while, and then said so.

"Patriarch, judging from the current situation, they don't seem to have any plans to join our tribe, which is a bit difficult to do."

Udan had a slightly sad look on his face, and he was thinking about whether to say a thought he had come up with earlier.

"Hehe, young people, especially young people with ability, always have to be ordered, don't worry, just take your time." The old man smiled faintly and disagreed, "Also, this matter must be kept secret, and don't let the people of the Heiya tribe know!" This kind of talent, even if it can't be recruited into our tribe in the end, it must not allow other tribes to succeed, you know? ”

"Yes, I see." Wu Dan looked at the old man's serious face, nodded again and again, he hesitated for a while, and decided to say what he thought in his heart.

"Patriarch, I have an idea, the success rate should be very large, but if you want to implement it, you still need your consent."

"Oh! What's the idea? Let's hear about it. As soon as the old man's eyelids lifted, he became interested.

"That's right, according to my observation, Lan Xue's kid seems to have that meaning to the person named Ye Xiao, maybe we can use this as a breakthrough to implement our recruitment plan." After Udan's words, he looked at the old man with some apprehension in his heart.

"You mean to let Cher reach him?"

"That's right." Udan nodded.

"What about the young man named Ye Xiao?"

"According to my observation, although he didn't show that feeling for Cher, he still had a good attitude towards Cher, and he was much closer than the average person."

"If so, how sure are you?"

"Seventy or eighty."

"Okay, then do as you say!"
