Chapter 1518: Chapter 1340: Deep Love, Shallow Fate

"That’s perfect; it saves me the trouble of finding another inn," Brother Ye smiled.

Xia Dabao suddenly felt that Brother Ye’s presence had changed from his usual demeanor in the village. In the village, he spent his days silently farming and taking care of the fruit trees. Apart from being a bit taller, stronger, and having a slightly more refined aura, he didn’t seem to stand out.

But now, seeing him speak with Chief Jiang, a term suddenly surged in her mind: the talent of a general or minister!

Nan Feng had already settled Axian, and after dining with Chief Jiang, he led them to a secret chamber filled with numerous files. Chief Jiang asked, "Hero Xia Ye, do you have a particular type of file in mind?"

Brother Ye calmly scanned the files, then asked, "Do you have any information on the Chixia Tribe from the Southern Zhao Country?"

"Chixia Tribe?" Chief Jiang was a bit surprised. "We do have some information, but the people of the Chixia Tribe are extremely mysterious in their ways. Regardless of gender or age, they’re all skilled in raising Gu and have been exposed to poisons since childhood, making them resistant to all toxins. However, it’s difficult for outsiders to enter their territory. Oh right, it’s said that they serve the Southern Zhao Country, which typically has little contact with the Central Plains, so there isn’t much more information available. But I do have the address of their tribe, which should help you find them."

After he finished speaking, Chief Jiang sent someone to fetch the map of the Chixia Tribe. The map was very detailed, eliminating the need for blind searching or asking around and thereby exposing their movements.

Upon receiving the map and resting for a night at the Baguamen, they set out again early the next morning.

The further west they traveled, the more desolate the landscape became.

The journey was marked by mountains and stone forests, with few villages in sight.

However, the road ahead was passable, and the horse-drawn carriage had no trouble.

After crossing several mountains, they gradually encountered villages and towns that, while not as bustling as those in the Central Plains, had markets selling all sorts of goods and even some inns.

Brother Ye had Nan Feng dismount and then found a small restaurant to order a few bowls of rice noodles.

Perhaps because of their attire, they immediately attracted the attention of the locals.

"Mom, their clothes are so pretty. Look, they’re wearing shiny things on their hands and necks," Xia Dabao said while eating her rice noodles.

"Yes, that’s the traditional dress around here," Nan Feng added. "If you like it, we can buy a few sets later. Dressing up like that to visit the Chixia Tribe will stop people from noticing us."

"Great," said Xia Dabao, then asked Brother Ye, "Dad, how much longer until we reach the Chixia Tribe?"

Brother Ye replied, "Not much longer, about a day away."

When they finished eating and were paying the bill, the noodle shop owner’s curiosity got the better of him, and he asked them a few questions: "You folks are from the Central Plains, aren’t you?"

"That’s right," Brother Ye responded.

"Where are you headed?" the owner continued to inquire. "There are two roads outside our town: if you go west, you’ll reach another town, and to the north..."

"To the north lies the Chixia Tribe," interrupted Xia Dabao.

The owner’s face immediately changed color, but then he relaxed after a moment: "Surely, you must be heading west. After all, not many people go north to the Chixia Tribe. It’s not a place for ordinary folk."

"Oh? It seems you’re quite afraid of the Chixia Tribe, why is that?" asked Nan Feng.
