When they retreated to the riverside, the orcs began to interrogate Shi Sheng about how the ditch had appeared.
Shi Sheng kept his word. The orcs were so angry that they started to cause trouble for Bai An.
Bai An couldn't do anything to Shi Sheng now. She was fuming, but there was nothing she could do.
"I remember that I saw Ling Xi start a fire by the riverside at noon. Not long after, the fire started. You didn't set it, did you?"
Unable to ask where the ravine came from, one of the orcs suddenly spoke up.
When I came to get water, I saw Ling Xi start a fire. "
"I saw it too …"
One orc after another stepped forward to point out Shi Sheng.
Many tribes didn't have fire. Tribes with fires would send orcs to watch over them so that they wouldn't go out.
Shi Sheng had attracted a lot of orcs' attention when he started a fire by the riverside. But since he was the little princess of the White Tiger Tribe, no orcs dared to ask him anything.
Shi Sheng brushed his hair behind his ear. Why did I have to take the blame for Xiong Sanmei's incident?
"I did start a fire, but I started it by the riverside. How could it have spread to the mountains?" Shi Sheng sneered. "Are your brains for decoration?"
"Who knows if you set it on fire?"
Shi Sheng looked at the orc who spoke. "I didn't put out the fire when I left. I can say that you set it on fire."
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence!" The orc immediately retorted.
Shi Sheng nodded in agreement. "Yes, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence. Did you see me set it on fire with your own eyes? Or did you hear me do it with your own ears? "
The orcs were speechless. They really didn't see her. They only saw her start a fire.
"Why didn't you put out the fire?" The orcs couldn't convince Shi Sheng.
"What does it have to do with whether I put out the fire or not?"
"Even if you didn't set it on fire, would this have happened if you put it out?"
Shi Sheng looked at the orc and said sarcastically, "Can you blame the rabbit for running fast if you can't catch it?"
The orcs were speechless.
After a long while, the orc said, "I'm a vegetarian."
Shi Sheng was speechless. Wow, the orcs were amazing. They were vegetarians, yet they could still mingle with these carnivores. Weren't they afraid of being eaten?
Shi Sheng later discovered that these beastmen had an unwritten rule. Any shapeshifting orc or carnivorous orc would never capture a vegetarian orc.
Of course, fighting and killing didn't count. However, they wouldn't eat those that were killed.
"That's enough, stop arguing." A big man with dark skin stood up. "It doesn't matter if she set the fire or not. She was the one who started the fire. The White Tiger Tribe has to take responsibility for this."
Shi Sheng knew who he was at first glance. He looked like Xiong Sanmei and was as black as a coal ball.
He was blind in one eye. It was said that he was blinded when he fought when he was young.
Later on, the beastmen called him Blind Bear.
"Why?!" The White Tiger Tribe was unconvinced.
"She started the fire. It's her responsibility," Blind Bear shouted in a hoarse voice.
"What are you shouting for? Are you trying to compete?" Shi Sheng glared at Blind Bear. "Your daughter left after me. Are you sure she didn't set the fire?"
Blind Bear was shocked. "What did you say?"
"Xiong Sanmei was there too. You should have seen it, right?" Shi Sheng's gaze swept across the orcs.
Two beastmen raised their hands. "Xiong Sanmei was indeed with Ling Xi. They even talked, but Ling Xi left first."
"Nonsense. You and Third Sister have never been on good terms. Are you trying to slander her?!" Blind Bear shouted angrily.
Shi Sheng shrugged. "There were orcs who saw it. It's not just my side of the story. You can't deny it just because Xiong Sanmei is your daughter, right? "
"Blind Bear, call Xiong Sanmei over and ask her," Bai An said.
With so many orcs watching, Blind Bear could only ask the orcs to call Xiong Sanmei.
But the orcs who went to call Xiong Sanmei came back and said they couldn't find her.
"She ran away." Shi Sheng spread his hands in amusement.
"You shut up!" The Blind Bear's anger soared to the heavens. "Have you searched everywhere?"
"Yes, but we couldn't find her."
If they couldn't find the orcs involved, it was useless for Blind Bear to deny it. In the end, they decided to find Xiong Sanmei first.
As for the ravine, Shi Sheng didn't say anything. They couldn't tie her up and interrogate her. Everyone could only guess.
The orcs gradually dispersed. After working for so long, they were already exhausted.
"Ling Xi, were you the one who set this fire?" Bai An waited for the beastmen to disperse before questioning Shi Sheng with a dark expression.
"I said I'm not. It's up to you whether you believe me or not." Shi Sheng pulled out her sword and walked back.
"It's best if you didn't," Bai An said from behind. "If you did, I can't protect you."
Shi Sheng snorted. You never thought of protecting me.
"What's that in your hand?" Bai An's voice suddenly sounded again.
Shi Sheng turned around. "Sword."
She waved the Iron Sword twice and the saplings by the side of the road were cut in half. "Do you see that? If anyone dares to provoke me in the future, this will be the outcome."
Iron Sword was speechless. Two innocent saplings. Master, don't you think you weren't domineering at all just now? Weren't you convincing at all?
What do you know? Apart from the female lead, they have never seen such a high-end tool like you. Saplings are enough.
Sure enough, Bai An's expression turned ugly. He stared at the Iron Sword in her hand. A thought flashed past his mind, but he didn't catch it.
"You know that this thing is called a sword?" Lin Qiqi couldn't help but ask. "Where did you get it?"
"It's none of your business." Shi Sheng kept his sword and turned to leave.
Lin Qiqi bit her lower lip and said to Bai An, "Bai An, the wound on Dazhuang's body matches the sword in Ling Xi's hand."
Lin Qiqi's reminder made Bai An suddenly enlightened. "You mean that she killed Dazhuang?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Lin Qiqi hurriedly shook her head. "I'm worried that Ling Xi met some strange person. Her temperament has changed too much recently."
"Human?" When Bai An met Lin Qiqi, he heard her say that there was another kind of creature called a human. They were born like this and didn't know how to transform.
Furthermore, Lin Qiqi didn't know how to transform either …
"That kind of sword is a very common weapon for humans." Lin Qiqi nodded. "If Ling Xi really met someone, that ravine must be related to that person."
There were some things in this world that couldn't be explained with common sense. For example, what did beastmen rely on to transform?
In those novels, animals definitely had to cultivate if they wanted to transform. This was what they called cultivation.
If she really came to such a world where she could turn the clouds and rain with a flip of her hand, it would be easy for a cultivator to create such a ravine.
Bai An stared thoughtfully at Shi Sheng, who had already disappeared into the distance. "Don't talk nonsense about this. I'll go back and ask her."
