"But—"
"There is no such thing as 'but." Elder Lu snapped at Elder Guo when the woman went on, causing the other woman to turn silent. She glared at Elder Guo and said, "Do you think that this is the time to act stubborn? The entire tribe is watching our every action, and Ruan Chanchan has placed us in a difficult position by turning the entire thing around for us."
Ruan Chanchan was smarter than she took her as; she did it so cleanly that no one could say a word against her. Elder Lu had a sick suspicion that there was no such thing as a blood offering, but Ruan Chanchan had everyone in her palm, and with them standing by her side, there was absolutely nothing that they could have done. She could say that Ruan Chanchan was lying, but how could she say that Chief Xie was also lying? And the tribe members were all lying?
There was no way she could do such a thing!
So, Elder Lu had no other choice but to accept this defeat.
