Zhuo Ling sighed with feigned hesitation, a barely perceptible gleam of cunning flashing through her eyes. "I really want to help you..."
She paused perfectly, swallowing her words as if holding something back. "If you all truly dislike her, the best solution is indeed to make her leave. It's just that I can't think of a good idea on how to actually do it right now."
Deliberately softening her voice, she added, "Besides, I think she was just trying to scare you when she said she'd feed you to the Cannibal Fish. We are precious females. How could the Clan Leader possibly hurt us for the sake of an outsider?"
The surrounding females exchanged uncertain glances, seemingly swayed by her words.
Hu Na suddenly interjected, "But she wasn't wrong. That stone house really is reserved for the Young Clan Leader's future female..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her slip-up and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. "Zhuo Ling, I didn't mean to..."
