âNeither one is better than the other! If not for this, we wouldnât have spent generations chasing after them!â He blurted out.
I suddenly came to a realization and exclaimed, âSo youâre from the same school of voodoo as Ma Ji.â
He knew that he had misspoken and shut his mouth.
âI get it now. Thatâs why youâre able to cure her poison. I thought you two were enemies, but it turns out you two are from the same sect.â
âWhat do you mean by that? I am not associated with that bitch. Her family was expelled from the sect three generations ago!â Mr. Liâs expression was resentful and full of disdain.
âOh?â I was confused. Banxia said that Ma Ji came from a tropical jungle tribe. I guessed that she had been with my uncle for a long time already. Otherwise, how could her Chinese be so fluent? âSo, sheâs Chinese?â I probed.
Mr. Li said unhappily, âOf course she is. As long as she is not part of our tribe, she can be whoever she wants to be!â
That was a bit too irresponsible.
âWhat are you going to do when you catch her?âI asked again.
Mr. Li didnât say anything. I assumed the conversation was over.
Unexpectedly, he said, âIn our clan, medicine and witchcraft are not separated. Voodoo can be used to heal, and the difference is in the thought. However, certain people have sold their souls to the devil for the sake of small profits. This is something my clan will not tolerate.
âMy family has been watching over the voodoo doctors for generations. We are witch hunters. Anyone who betrays the clan must be brought back to the clan to be punished. Ma Jiâs family has escaped for three generations already. Failing to capture them is the biggest humiliation my family has ever
suffered. When my grandfather was dying, I made a solemn vow before his bed. In my lifetime, I will definitely bring their family to justice and avenge the shame of the Li clan. Only then did he close his eyes. The responsibility fell on my shoulders. I shunned the responsibility of continuing the family
lineage and left it with my younger brother. I only have one goal in mind.â
He closed his eyes. âAfter my grandfather passed away, I left home. I followed Ma Jiâs familyâs footsteps, but I found nothing. I came back to the tribe only after I received the news that my mother was critically ill. However, when I arrived, I was captured by Jing Tianâs men at gunpoint. Of course, I refused
to submit. Eventually, they showed me your picture. I knew then that my grandfatherâs spirit was smiling at me.â
Mr. Li laughed. His teeth were white.
âIn other words, Jing Tian actually gave you a big gift! Mr. Li, this isnât right. I heard that you extorted many things from Jing Tian!â I was furious.
Mr. Li chuckled and licked his teeth, He looked as if he still wanted more. âWhy now? Looking at how anxious he was, I knew he would agree to any of my conditions, There arenât many people left in my clan. My younger brother, the clan leader, is in a tight spot. I havenât been at home these years. The
adults can suffer, but we canât place the suffering on the elderly and the children.â
His expression darkened, then, he put on a cynical expression. âGirl, you donât have to feel sorry for him. He has plenty of money, but youâre the most precious thing to him. See this as my way of testing his sincerity for you. Girl, itâs harder to find a sincere lover than an invaluable treasure. Jing Tian is
worth it!â
I felt a headache coming on.. âHe has bribed you, hasnât he?â
