Chapter 1320: So Long As it Did Not Trouble You, I Do Not Care About Others

“Then how do you intend to settle it?” Gu Mengmeng asked softly.

Lea smiled and looked at Gu Mengmeng, saying, “Did you know how worried I am at the thought that you may misunderstand me? I would definitely not want to be involved in such a rumor. I will contact the other tribes later on to use Miranda to exchange for food before winter.”

Gu Mengmeng frowned and said, “Usually… isn’t it only the males who have committed a grave offence who would be used for exchange for other goods? The way that you are treating Miranda… will the members of the Snow fox clan agree?”

“Most likely they won’t,” Lea laughed softly. “Now the Snow fox clan, Wolf clan and 16 tribes are the three most influential tribes. During the night campfire party, Jialue helped 16 tribes earn the limelight, Elvis also led his Wolf clan in showing their hunting capabilities. At this time, if I used Miranda to exchange for goods, I would undoubtedly be disgracing the Snow fox clan… Those few tribe elders would definitely not let me off that easily.”

“But you still…”

Lea narrowed his eyes to smile. He placed one hand around Gu Mengmeng’s neck and pulled her closer to kiss her eyes, before saying, “No matter how troublesome the situation is, it is not as difficult to deal with as your frown. So long as it does not trouble you, why should I care about others? If they are displeased, they can choose not to recognize me as the Ninth Highness. I also did not plead with them to recognize me as their clan member, it’s them who wanted to make use of my ident.i.ty as the messenger’s partner and pretended to be close with me.”

Gu Mengmeng cupped Lea’s face in her hands and kissed him on the lips. Then she continued, “How about letting me be the mean one here? Just say that I am jealous and cannot tolerate Miranda. I would really like to see who dares to criticise me.”

Lea shook his head and said, “How could I let my female partner be the one to bear the brunt for me? If you become the mean one in this situation, Elvis and I can no longer face anyone in the future. Moreover, it was originally my intention, I should admit if I dare to do it. Only if I gave this command personally, will I be able to prove that I do not have any ill intentions for Miranda. No matter what intentions she has, I can let her come to her senses early. That time in the past, I did not save her, and I would still not be concerned about her life or death now.”

“I’m afraid it’s too late,” Elvis, who had been standing quietly at the entrance, said.

Lea and Gu Mengmeng lifted their head to look at him at the same time, not understanding what he meant.

Elvis said, “The wolves I sent to watch over Miranda just informed me that she had already met with the tribe elders of the Snow fox clan.”

“So fast?” Lea frowned and straightened his back. He was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed and said, “Right, after all Cole’s scheme would not be that simple and allow me to decline so easily. Never mind, since we cannot do it before her, then… we can only make use of our authority.”

“Let me accompany you?” Gu Mengmeng asked.

Lea nodded and said, “Yeah, when dealing with Miranda’s matter, it’s best that you are with me, otherwise there may be situations that I cannot explain myself, or people bringing false information to you… By that time, if you believed any of their words, it would just be like daggers stabbing my heart.”

Gu Mengmeng looked straight at Lea’s eyes and held his hands, saying, “Lea, you need to know something.”

“Yeah?” Since Miranda and the tribe elders had already met, Lea did not feel in a rush and continued his conversation with Gu Mengmeng. Only when he looked at her, would he then think that his life was not so miserable.

Gu Mengmeng turned back and reached out her hand to Elvis. Elvis held her hands, then sat side by side with Lea in front of her, with the same loving eyes looking at her.
