However—
His arm seemed to have been slashed by some sharp weapon, and although it had been roughly stopped from bleeding, the swollen flesh that was almost turning outwards looked terrifying, surrounded by shades of purple and blue.
Shaohua’s brows tightened.
Upon seeing him like this, Diao’s expression changed, "How did you get injured? Chu Yin, come quickly, have a look at Lord Yun’s wound."
Chu Yun must be very popular in the Icefield Tribe, as his return had drawn a warm welcome from all the tribespeople.
Shaohua frowned slightly, finding it strange how Chu Yin seemed uninterested.
Chu Yin was too peculiar; her outward gentleness seemed starkly out of place, her eyes actually carrying a cold indifference, showing earnestness only towards Che Nan, and even dismissing Chu Yun, who was highly regarded in the tribe.
When Chu Yun saw that Chu Yin was about to touch him, he stepped back. He didn’t see Shaohua standing behind the crowd and spoke indifferently, "No need."
Chu Yin was more than willing not to get involved. She smiled lightly and then said, "Shaohua, you’ve been with me for a few days now, help take care of Lord Yun."
Zhen, standing next to Shaohua, looked at her with envy once again, "Lord Yun is the most powerful person in our tribe."
The other slaves also looked at Shaohua with unfriendly eyes, unable to comprehend why Chu Yin regarded this seemingly weak and useless woman so favorably.
Shaohua did not answer Zhen’s question, but simply walked over to Chu Yun.
Many people were gathered around Chu Yun. This time, he had taken ten tribespeople to the larger tribes to exchange for salt, needed for the winter. Salt was as essential as water for every tribe.
Not only had he exchanged beast skins and a large number of slaves for enough salt, but he had also hunted plenty of game on the way back.
Those who had returned with him spoke admiringly to those around them about just how formidable Chu Yun was.
Chu Yun, not giving Chu Yin a glance, seemed unmoved by her intervention. Although he had never studied medicine, after spending time with Shaohua, he had come to recognize some of the simpler herbs.
His internal strength was also circulating, and he hadn’t been concerned about the injury, which is why he reflexively declined Chu Yin’s suggestion.
Then, lifting his eyes, he caught sight of a pair of very familiar black pupils.
The words that had reached his lips were just swallowed down, his fingers clenched tightly, yet he did not take the initiative to say anything.
Shaohua took out golden needles from her System Space. With so many people around, she didn’t immediately use them on Chu Yun but casually inserted them into her own beast skin.
Noticing that Chu Yun didn’t send Shaohua away, Chu Yin felt puzzled, but expressed nothing, simply getting closer to Che Nan, where the group was discussing in hushed tones.
Chu Yun’s gaze did not leave Shaohua, and when he saw what was on her hand, his face clearly showed a shade of gloom.
Shaohua looked down: "..." It was the specific mark of a slave in this world.
No wonder he had that expression.
Only after much comforting from Che Nan did Chu Yin gradually calm her mind, yet her gaze towards Shaohua and the others remained unfriendly. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"What kind of mighty warrior is he? He lacks the brains you have, and can’t think of ways to build the tribe. The weapons you will build in the future will be a thousand, no, ten thousand times better than his!" Chu Yin was furious.
Che Nan had previously described modern weapons to Chu Yin, and thinking she was referring to those, he gently reassured her with a laugh.
With Che Nan’s constant consolation, Chu Yin’s anger gradually subsided.
Following behind Chu Yun, Shaohua had everything she needed. The other person glanced at her scabbed thigh, continuously furrowing his brow, and didn’t ask her to do anything else.
The other slaves looked at Shaohua with barely veiled hostility.
Yet Shaohua currently had no medicinal herbs on hand, and seeking them openly would inevitably attract the attention of others.
Besides, finding the right herbs for Chu Yun wasn’t something that could be done just by looking.
As the group headed back to the tribe, they didn’t spot any medicinal herbs along the way.
However, Chu Yin and the High Priest had some medicinal herbs on them when they returned, including some herbs they didn’t recognize.
Since Shaohua wasn’t following Chu Yin, Chu Yin had Zhen follow her.
Shaohua was eyeing a certain red plant that Chu Yin had given to Zhen.
"No way, these herbs are for Chu Yin’s use." Hearing Shaohua’s request, Zhen refused without a second thought, looking coldly at Shaohua, "These were found by Chu Yin and Lord Che, if you’re capable, find them yourself. They’re not like you, who does nothing but ask for things."
