Chapter 283

Yang Sui put down the oxtail in his hand and stood up.

Noticing that Yang Sui casually threw the oxtail, the young girl next to him glanced at Yang Sui, then carefully picked up the oxtail and placed it in a long wooden box next to it, which was covered with a layer of hay. The box could just contain the oxtail.

Yang Sui forced a smile, "Is it necessary? It doesn't work anyway."

After the brief introduction.

Shao Xuan knew that the young girl named Mi Xu, who grew up with Yang Sui, was now one of the shamanesses who followed Yang Sui and would participate in the sacrifice.

"I heard that the Flaming Horn tribe has gone back? Are you coming with those in the middle?" Asked Yang Sui.

"Yes." Looking at the expression of the two, Shao Xuan asked, "What happened? Are you going to be ousted?"

Yang Sui scratched his head, "Sort of."

Keeping silent for a while, Yang Sui said, "If I wasn't selected as the Shaman, I can live longer. But what's worse now is that I might have to be burned to death."

"Bang!"

Mi Xu threw the wooden box in her hand away and the oxtail that had been carefully put into the box fell out. Not caring about the oxtail, she shouted with red eyes, "How do you know you'll fail to pray for rain?!"

"Everyone knows that." Yang Sui smiled dejectedly, "I'll be burned to death sooner or later."

"If you knew that, why did you deceive others?! Why not tell others you can't pray for rain. Why did you say you can?!" Mi Xu shed tears and wiped it off, regardless of the dust on her hands. She put the oxtail on the ground into the box and gave the box to Yang Sui. Then she ran out, slamming the semi-closed door panel.

Shao Xuan glanced at Mi Xu who had run away after slamming the door panel. Then he turned to Yang Sui, who was standing still in the same place, and asked, "What happened? Was the event exposed?"

Shao Xuan knew that when Yang Sui was competing for the Shaman, he observed the weather when it might rain. Then, thanks to a coincidence, he finally defeated other competitors and became the Shaman successfully.

Yang Sui's face pined away, which looked much worse than that when he was sick. He said, "I really regret making the promise!" Looking back upon the situation at that time, he really looked for trouble! At that time, he should confess the truth under the pressure of the Chief.

When he met Shao Xuan again, he was still in an unfavorable situation. Then Yang Sui told Shao Xuan what happened briefly.

When Yang Sui returned back the tribe from his travels, he succeeded in becoming the Shaman of the Rain tribe. But at the end of last year, the new Chief took office who supported another candidate of the Shaman in the previous election. When he knew that Yang Sui had "cheated" during the last election, he decided to dispose of Yang Sui, so he started to make trouble for Yang Sui ceaselessly. What's worse, there wasn't even a drop of rainwater until today this year, so the present Chief seized the opportunity to ask Yang Sui to pray for rain.

Yang Sui said it was difficult.

If Yang Sui wasn't the Shaman, that's okay. But the present Chief wanted to promote one person who stood on his side. Therefore, the Chief questioned Yang Sui's ability to pray for rain in public and said that it was just a coincidence to rain last time when he prayed, rather than depending on his own ability. Yang Sui not only deceived everyone but also lacked disrespect for their ancestors and the totem. Because of that, God didn't rain this year as a punishment. If it got worse, as the weather got hotter and hotter, the land would be dry and crack before long and the crops on farmland couldn't survive. The Chief incited the crowd and took Yang Sui's deception as an excuse.
