All of this was done without a trace, making it difficult for anyone to notice.
However, Su Yi, who was standing not far away, happened to see this scene. His sharp Soul Power detected the subtle fluctuation of Vitality.
"Something seems wrong." Su Yi's intuition gave him a bad feeling.
！
Feng Qi 'er stepped forward to draw lots. She did not notice anything as she pulled out a bamboo stick and held it in her palm. She looked nervous as she did not know if her bamboo stick was the shortest one.
"Okay, there are a total of 46 bamboo sticks. Now open the bamboo sticks in your palms."
The gloomy old man said to the group of young women.
The elders and experts' eyes moved slightly, but they did not seem to have much of an expression.
In the courtyard, there were many curious and uneasy gazes, but at least half of them were looking directly at Feng Qi 'er.
Su Yi's eyes moved. The atmosphere seemed to be a little strange, but he could not tell what was wrong.
The elders and experts stepped forward to check the bamboo sticks in the hands of the young women.
Feng Qi 'er spread out her hands and looked at the bamboo stick in her hand. Then, she looked curiously at the bamboo sticks in the hands of the people around her. Suddenly, her gaze trembled and her delicate body could not help but take a step back. Her delicate face turned pale in an instant.
"Feng Qi 'er got the shortest lot. The person chosen this time is Feng Qi' er!"
A faint voice came from the gloomy old man, as if he already knew the result.
"No, there's something fishy about this."
When the gloomy old man announced the results, Su Yi finally understood what was going on.
No wonder he felt that something was wrong. It turned out that the old man had secretly done something. It was most likely not decided by drawing lots at all, but just a formality.
These people had already decided that it would be Feng Qi 'er. Otherwise, the old man would have already announced the result when the people who were checking the lots had just finished checking and did not even speak.
Therefore, this was clearly arranged by a group of people in the dark.
Su Yi's eyes moved slightly. He could feel that the gloomy old man had secretly done something at the end. There were many experts nearby, including the Great Elder and the others. With their strength, how could they not feel it?
However, no one said anything, so this matter must have been decided by this group of people.
"Phew …"
Many people secretly heaved sighs of relief when they heard the gloomy old man's announcement. The expressions of the young women eased up greatly as well, and they were no longer nervous and uneasy.
A young woman looked at Feng Qi 'er with an indifferent expression.
There were a few looks of sympathy and pity, but that was all.
"I didn't think it would be Feng Qi 'er!"
"This was decided by drawing lots. For the sake of the entire clan, we can only do this. We can't blame anyone else!"
"This is Feng Qi 'er's life!"
"At least she can do something for our clan. The 19 years of our clan taking care of her were not in vain!"
Discussions could be heard from the crowd. These people did not seem to know about the arrangements of the experts and elders, but their words were filled with the indifference of bystanders.
There were even people who were overjoyed. At the very least, their loved ones would not be sent to the Demonic Emperor.
Feng Qi 'er stood there quietly. Her expression was a little sluggish, and her big, beautiful eyes were blank.
"Alright, let's disperse. Bring Feng Qi 'er and this brat over there."
The gloomy old man spoke with an indifferent expression.
"Little Qi, let's go. You know the place …"
The middle-aged woman who was called Fourth Aunt came to Feng Qi 'er's side and said softly. Her eyes were a little red, and she did not dare to look directly at Feng Qi' er.
Feng Qi 'er walked slowly. Her body was a little stiff as though she was a walking corpse.
Su Yi was once again carried by the middle-aged woman and they left the courtyard.
"Feng Qi 'er is somewhat useful!"
"She's also a person with a bad life, but she can't blame anyone else!"
"Feng Qi 'er has no parents and no relatives. She's all alone in this world. It's a good thing that she can meet her deceased parents as soon as possible!"
"…"
After leaving the courtyard, such subtle discussions could be heard from behind and fell into Su Yi's ears.
"What a bunch of selfish people. Is this the Chaos Realm …?"
Su Yi was touched. This so-called tribe was really selfish and indifferent. They simply bullied Feng Qi 'er because she had no parents and no relatives. That was why they arranged for her to be sent to her death. Their faces were covered with the masks of their tribe, but their hearts were so heartless.
Soon, the middle-aged woman brought Su Yi and Feng Qi 'er to a spacious square. In the middle of the square, there was a huge boulder that was about a hundred feet tall like a huge stone sword.
There were a dozen figures standing in the square with weapons in their hands. Their auras were sharp, and they were ready for battle.
Seeing the middle-aged woman approaching, the dozens of people nodded and looked at Feng Qi 'er with a complicated expression. They were indifferent to Su Yi.
The middle-aged woman activated her Qi and leaped onto the boulder. After putting Su Yi down, she landed beside Feng Qi 'er.
The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment before saying to Feng Qi 'er, "Little Qi, this is your life. For the sake of the entire tribe, for the sake of the 700 people in the tribe, there's no other way …"
Feng Qi 'er looked at the middle-aged woman. Under the night sky, her big and beautiful eyes flickered. Suddenly, she knelt down and kowtowed three times to the middle-aged woman.
"Little Qi, what are you doing?" The middle-aged woman was surprised and immediately wanted to help Feng Qi 'er up.
"Feng Qi 'er thanks Fourth Aunt for taking care of me for so many years. You're the one who treats me the best in the entire tribe. I'll repay you in my next life!"
Feng Qi 'er said to the middle-aged woman.
"Little Qi, I …"
The middle-aged woman choked and said with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Little Qi. I'm sorry."
As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman turned around and left. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She dared not look at Feng Qi 'er again and was full of guilt.
The dozens of people around the square had a complicated look in their eyes. They were secretly moved.
Seeing the middle-aged woman leave, Feng Qi 'er got up and stood there quietly under the moonlight.
"Drip, drip …"
Tears flowed from the corners of Feng Qi 'er's eyes and dripped down her face onto the ground.
Su Yi stood on the boulder and saw everything. He could only sigh in his heart. He felt sorry for Feng Qi 'er, but it seemed like he could not even protect himself at this moment.
Su Yi glanced around and saw that the dozens of people had an extraordinary aura. Many of them were cultivators at the bottom of the Yuan Zhen Realm. He did not dare to act rashly.
