Chapter 1192: Crowded Out (4)
Shen Yanxiao and the Moons.h.i.+ne Elf were allocated to a tree house.
Entering the tree house, the interior was rather simple. There was a hammock on each side and a wooden table in the middle with two chairs by the side. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Shen Yanxiao pulled over a chair and sat down before looking at her ‘roommate ‘.
“Yan Xiao,” Shen Yanxiao said.
The other party was stunned for a moment before a trace of surprise appeared on his cold face. He hesitated for a moment before he said, “An Ran.”
After he said that, An Ran paused for a moment and said. “I know that you have no choice but to live with me. You don’t have to come into contact with me.”
Shen Yanxiao propped her chin and quizzically looked at An Ran.
“Why?”
An Ran looked at Shen Yanxiao as if he found her question strange.
“Because I am an elf of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe and the other elves don’t like me. You don’t have to force yourself. Besides, if you interact too much with me, they will only reject you more,” An Ran touched the tribal badge on his chest and said.
Shen Yanxiao smiled.
“I know you are an elf of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe, but what does this have to do with us having conversations? Why can’t I talk to you?”
An Ran said, “Don’t you know? The Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe has been demoted by the Elf King. Everyone among the elves says that we are traitors. If you get close to me, it will only make them feel that you are in cahoots with us, and soon enough, they will also ostracize you.” An Ran had never thought of making conversations with the other elves in the advanced training camp because he knew what the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe represented in their hearts.
The roommate before him was still young and An Ran did not wish for her to be ostracized because of him.
Shen Yanxiao chuckled. Pointing to the temporary badge on her chest, she said, “Ostracizing me? I think they’ve already done that. Not because of you, but because of myself. I don’t have a tribal badge and I only have a temporary rank badge on me. In terms of disgust, I think their disgust toward me is no less than yours. Besides, I don’t think the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe is a traitor to the elves. I don’t know the reason why you were demoted, but I’ve been in contact with the elves of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe. And I know you’re not traitors.”
Shen Yanxiao’s words surprised An Ran. Ever since the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe was demoted, they had received too much cold looks and contempt. No elves had ever believed that they were not traitors.
“Have you met other elves of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe?” An Ran asked.
Shen Yanxiao nodded.
“In Fragrant Night City, I met Yue Xi and his children. He even gave me many fruits.” Shen Yanxiao’s smiling appearance was very pleasant.
“Yue Xi…” An Ran whispered his name as a trace of loneliness flashed past his eyes.
“Is he… alright?”
“No.” Shen Yanxiao was very direct.
“What’s wrong?” An Ran’s expression clearly showed nervousness.
“Without his source of life, he was banished to a cyan-level city and he had to bring his children with him. How could he possibly be well?” Shen Yanxiao did not even try to comfort him.
A trace of pain appeared on An Ran’s face. “It’s all my fault. I should have been the one banished.”
Shen Yanxiao looked at An Ran’s painful expression and vaguely felt that there must be some hidden reason behind Yue Xi’s banishment. Moreover, Yue Xi was once her mother’s bodyguard. She constantly felt that these things had something to do with her parents.
In Jadeite City, Shen Yanxiao did not have the time to go to the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe to look for her parents. It was not that she did not want to, but her current ident.i.ty was very awkward to do so.
