Chapter 1562: Chapter 1384: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

Luckily, Xia Dabao had an inquisitive companion by her side. Even though she didn’t want to ask Yun Xiao about the different clans, Axian dared to ask, "Brother Yun Xiao, there are three large tents here, does that mean there are three clans?"

"Indeed," Yun Xiao replied, anticipating more detailed questions, so he proactively continued, "They’re the Moon Shadow Clan, Moon Heart Clan, and our Red Dawn Clan."

"Brother Yun Xiao, is the Moon Heart Clan entirely made up of women?" Axian inquired further.

"That’s correct, they’re a special tribe. The tribe only keeps female disciples and doesn’t accept male disciples," Yun Xiao explained. Then, thinking Axian might soon ask where the women came from, he quickly added, "Their female disciples all come from other clans. Many families in the commonfolk like to send their daughters here, though it’s not so easy to get in."

Xia Dabao chimed in from the side, "It’s akin to a nunnery, except they don’t shave their heads."

Yun Xiao shot Xia Dabao a glance.

Xia Dabao then made a silly face at Yun Xiao.

After making the face, Xia Dabao realized she had unwittingly become the center of attention, as it seemed everyone was looking at her.

Curious, surprised, scrutinizing... every kind of gaze was present.

Was it merely because she was a woman from the Central Plains?

Just then, she heard someone shout, "Two little treasures, come over here to the Clan Chief!"

It was the Clan Chief. Xia Dabao, feeling quite uncomfortable under the scrutiny of the people there, pulled Axian with her towards the Clan Chief.

The Clan Chief seemed very happy today, and even his tone carried a smile. He had Xia Dabao and Axian sit beside him, one on each side, and then cheerfully said, "My two little treasures, you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Little Axian, is it? How are you feeling these days?"

It was Axian’s first time meeting the Clan Chief, and since he was wearing a mask, Axian couldn’t help but stare at him for a while before responding, "Much better."

In fact, Axian didn’t really know by how much he had improved; he just slept when tired and ate when hungry, and he didn’t even remember how long he had slept before.

"As long as you are feeling better, that’s good. The fact that you’ve recovered to this extent is largely thanks to your sister’s efforts. When you’re fully recovered, you should really thank her for her sacrifices," the Clan Chief’s tone was like that of an elder.

Axian nodded again.

He was still curious about what the face behind the mask looked like.

Xia Dabao actually knew that the Clan Chief’s words were just pleasantries. Who wouldn’t say such things? She smiled and replied, "It wasn’t my effort at all. It’s because the medicine the Clan Chief provided was effective. If it hadn’t been, Axian might not have recovered by now. The person I admire the most right now is the Clan Chief, not only for your expertise in gu, but also in medicine. When I return to the Central Plains, I will certainly burn incense daily to ask the Buddha to bless the Clan Chief with long life."

"Hahaha, my little treasure sure knows how to talk. Just for those sweet words, the Clan Chief will take extra good care of you," the Clan Chief said.

Xia Dabao shuddered.

Care? What kind of care?

But she quickly adjusted her mood and smiled again, "I know the Clan Chief cares about me. You’re a good elder, and you care for every member of the Red Dawn Clan."

Behind her, Yun Xiao and Hong Yan listened to the Clan Chief and Xia Dabao’s conversation as they exchanged words like a dance.

Hong Yan felt that Xia Dabao was not as simple as she appeared; she was just playing dumb.

Whereas Yun Xiao thought, even though Xia Dabao had already seen through some things, she still believed that her parents would come to save her. Did she really think they were invincible?
