Wu Yue ran a hand through her hair. "I can't believe it either, but it's the truth."
She patted her friend's shoulder. "Let me wash up, then we can head to the clearing. Yuan Lang and the others should be leaving with the Hunting Team soon."
The pat seemed to jolt Qingcao back to her senses, and she remembered why she'd come. She nodded, a bit dazed. "Go on, hurry. If the tribespeople see you now, they'll all be shocked."
Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, she gave a sly grin. "I wonder if Yuan Lang will be able to leave for the deep forest with his mind at ease after seeing you. Heh heh."
For some reason, her words made Wu Yue feel a little expectant as well.
She couldn't help but speed up her washing.
By the time the two of them arrived at the clearing, the tribe's members had already gathered.
