To confirm her sense of smell wasn't mistaken, Bai Wanwan leaned closer to Zhu Xiu, her nose twitching as she took a careful sniff.
Sure enough, the pungent smell of blood hit her.
Zhu Xiu noticed her movement and reached out to grasp her wrist. "Don't worry, it's not my blood."
"Not yours?" Bai Wanwan looked up, her eyes filled with suspicion.
"No," Zhu Xiu nodded, his tone calm. "A male was following me. I taught him a little lesson."
Bai Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "We just got to the Golden Lion Tribe, and someone is already following us?"
"He probably caught my trail and followed to see what was going on."
Zhu Xiu explained it casually, but he knew the truth. 'That male has been tailing us since this afternoon. It was probably Jin Cang Clan Leader who sent him to watch me.'
However, he didn't plan on telling Bai Wanwan any of this, lest he worry her.
Zhu Xiu had his own plans.
