Dandy Pill God-Chapter 649 Avana is Kidnapped
Chapter 649: Chapter 649 Avana is Kidnapped
"Mr. Zhu Fei, no...no good! The young lady, she..."
The tent flap had just been opened when a girl dressed as a maid hurried in, her face etched with urgency as she spoke to Zhu Fei.
Zhu Fei recognized her as Princess Avana’s personal maid, who often accompanied her during visits.
Sometimes, when Princess Avana had business trips, it was this girl who was responsible for delivering the necessary items and food to him.
"Xiangxiang, what exactly happened? Take your time, don’t be afraid, I am here."
Seeing Xiangxiang’s face filled with panic, her words even becoming unclear, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but calm down and comfort her.
Perhaps infected by Zhu Fei’s steady words, the previously bewildered Xiangxiang finally seemed to calm down a bit.
She took a slight breath to compose herself, then continued:
"Mr. Zhu Fei, this morning, I went hunting with the young lady. On our way back, we encountered a group of bandits, and many...many people were killed..."
At this point, Xiangxiang seemed to recall something extremely terrifying, her pale face instantly filling with tears.
Zhu Fei’s expression darkened slightly, but at that moment, he did not rush Xiangxiang. Instead, he took a tissue from the table beside him and handed it to Xiangxiang, saying:
"Xiangxiang, don’t be scared, just tell me what happened."
Taking the tissue from Zhu Fei, Xiangxiang gratefully glanced at him, wiped her face, and continued with a trembling voice:
"After the bandits killed the warriors from our tribe who were with us, they directly kidnapped the young lady and... and told me to return and inform the Chieftain to prepare the dowry and deliver it personally to their hideout."
"And then? Do the Chieftain and the Priest know about this?"
Zhu Fei frowned, his tone slightly deep as he asked.
He had an innate feeling that this sudden incident was not as simple as it seemed.
From his previous understanding, ever since Long Mengdie arrived at the Maple Tribe, the whole tribe, and even within the entire Sky Wolf Kingdom, had not encountered any trouble.
Yet now, just a month after Long Mengdie had left, Avana faced bandits on her trip and was even captured.
On the surface, this might seem like a mere coincidence, but Zhu Fei was no ordinary man. Using a Cultivator’s intuition, he sharply felt that there must be some special reason behind it.
Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Xiangxiang immediately nodded.
"The Chieftain has already been informed, but he told me not to tell anyone else, just to find you, Mr. Zhu Fei, hoping... hoping you could help his daughter."
"Oh, did the Chieftain really say that?"
A flash of golden light sparked in Zhu Fei’s eyes, and he then said to Xiangxiang, "Come on Xiangxiang, take me to the Chieftain. There are some things I need to verify myself."
"Yes...yes, the Chieftain actually meant that too, some things, he said he needs to explain to you in person."
Xiangxiang nodded hurriedly, and immediately led Zhu Fei out of the tent, heading straight for the Chieftain’s tent.
However, before they had gotten far, a small group of horsemen blocked their path head-on.
The leader was a tall, muscular man with bronze-colored skin.
He was carrying a Long Spear on his back, his fierce gaze fixed on Xiangxiang as he roared:
"You lowly ’slave’! Your mistress Princess Avana is in trouble, why didn’t you inform everyone immediately? Speak! Who gave you the courage to deceive the warriors of the Maple Tribe!"
As the man spoke, he had already unslung the Long Spear from his back, and it looked as though he was about to thrust it at Xiangxiang’s neck, pinning her directly to the ground.
Suddenly, faced with this scene, Xiangxiang’s face turned pale as she was struck with fear, her beautiful complexion draining of color.
She shook her head repeatedly, her body involuntarily retreating backward as she hurriedly defended herself:
"No... No, it’s not like this, Grandson Gu Tianli, I did not mean to deceive everyone, I really didn’t!"
Unfortunately, her explanation was of no use to Gu Tianli.
Then, with a "whoosh" sound, Gu Tianli’s Long Spear cut through the air with an extremely fierce gust, about to pierce Xiangxiang.
"Ah!"
Xiangxiang screamed in horror and immediately closed her eyes in despair.
"Bang!"
But at that moment, a fair hand suddenly shot out from the side, seizing the Long Spear aimed at Xiangxiang, immobilizing it completely.
This sudden turn of events made everyone present momentarily stunned.
However, it didn’t take long for Gu Tianli and his followers to react.
A series of sounds of weapons being unsheathed rang out, and Gu Tianli’s followers promptly pointed all their weapons toward Zhu Fei.
Gu Tianli’s expression turned even darker, his cold eyes fixated on Zhu Fei, unmoving.
"So, it’s you, boy. Don’t think that just because you are a guest of our tribe, I, Gu Tianli, would not dare to do anything to you. I warn you, mind your own business, or else..."
"Or else, what?"
Before Gu Tianli could finish his sentence, an angry voice sounded not far from where everyone was.
A middle-aged man wearing a golden Maple robe and a chieftain’s crown, tall and imposing with a somewhat stern face, suddenly made his way through the crowd toward the front.
Beside him followed many tribal warriors, diligently surrounding the middle-aged man.
"Chieftain... Sir, what brings you here?"
Seeing the middle-aged man, Gu Tianli was immediately startled, his cold gaze flickering.
"Hmph! Gu Tianli, truly worthy of being the son of the Elder of our tribe, look at what you’re doing? If I hadn’t come, who knows what you would have done."
The new arrival was none other than Bartel, the current Chieftain of the Maple Tribe.
At this moment, he looked at Gu Tianli with anger in his eyes, his hands clenching and then releasing.
Finally, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, then came to Zhu Fei’s side and squeezed out a smile.
"Mr. Zhu, I am truly very sorry. I have failed to discipline my people properly, and they have offended you greatly just now. I hope Mr. Zhu can forgive us."
Saying so, Bartel, in front of many people, placed his right hand over his left chest, and slightly leaned towards Zhu Fei, as a gesture of apology.
This scene made everyone present reveal a look of surprise.
For the gesture that Bartel had just made was the highest form of apology known in the Maple Tribe.
Who exactly is this person? Why would the Chieftain respect him so greatly?
For a moment, many in the crowd were filled with this question.
After all, not many in the Maple Tribe knew of Zhu Fei’s identity, so the looks they cast toward Zhu Fei were all tinged with wonder and suspicion.
