The implication was clear, you should stop dragging people into a conversation about herbs, let them finish what they are saying, they have to go ho for dinner anyway.
The old Shaman glared fiercely at his insensitive son and then turned awkwardly to Ge Xing, "Ge Xing, did you co over for so reason this ti?"
Ge Xing composed his face and said, "There’s indeed sothing I wish to ask the two chiefs at this occasion."
Seeing his serious deanor, both Shi Jie and the Big Bear straightened their faces and focused on Ge Xing, awaiting his next words.
Ge Xing gave it a thought and said, "Actually, a while ago, a tribe from another part of the mountain forest told us about the annual large trade fair held during the hot season. So, I was wondering how you used to participate in it?"
As soon as the two chieftains and the old Shaman heard about the large trade fair, their pupils constricted in surprise. They thought to themselves, how could the Watson Tribe know about such an event? Which big tribe had invited them?
Shi Jie asked cautiously, "Do you know which tribe told you about the large trade fair?"
Ge Xing seed sowhat hesitant. Under the intense gaze of the other beasts, he finally affird with a determined expression, "It was the Gru Tribe from Nia Forest."
"The Gru Tribe!" Big Bear blurted out in disbelief.
Ge Xing looked at him curiously. Big Bear cald himself down, sounding sowhat envious, "I really didn’t expect the Watson Tribe to know the Gru Tribe in Nia Forest. They are one of the four large tribes in the forest. They usually exchange a lot of branch and leaf items with the Divine Tree Clan, making them quite wealthy."
Ge Xing silently sneered. Although they hadn’t dealt with the Gru Tribe, based on the information from Bosson, this Gru Tribe was not good news.
Moreover, the crucial point was that the Gru Tribe now planned to seek their tribe’s production thod for insect cure powder.
Shi Jie asked anxiously, "So, is the Watson Tribe planning to attend the trade fair this year?"
Ge Xing let out a seemingly disappointed sigh and said, "If possible, we would like to participate. However, our tribe is not classified as a ’large tribe’ yet and possibly doesn’t have the qualification to join. The Gru Tribe inford us of this event because our shaman saved their tribe leader, Amu."
The leaders of the two tribes glanced at each other, letting out a gigantic sigh of relief.
Ge Xing noticed their exchange of glances, and his mind formulated a plan. He shook his head and said, "Originally, I wanted to ask you about the trade fair to make sure the Gru Tribe wasn’t lying to us. But now, it seems there’s no issue."
Having said that, he stood up, "Well, it’s about to get dark, and if I don’t go back now, I might run into a beast wave."
The three beasts nodded in agreent, and Big Bear stood up, "Let walk you out."
Ge Xing nodded to the old Shaman and Shi Jie and followed Big Bear out.
"Ge Xing, it’s in your tribe’s best interest not to participate in the trade fair right now." Big Bear’s expression was stern.
Ge Xing stopped and looked at him, "What’s really going on here?"
Big Bear shook his head with a bitter smile, "The fair claims that all the big tribes in the Mountain Forest can participate, but in reality, there are still gaps amongst these big tribes."
Ge Xing’s heart tightened as he sensed the core of the matter was coming.
