Lu Ke was acutely aware that he lacked the ability to directly bypass the Clan Leader of the Bamboo Cyan Deer lineage and communicate directly with the priests of the Prayers to the Cyan Deer Clan.
That was why it was necessary for Lu Ke to inform the Clan Leader of the Bamboo Cyan Deer lineage about the trade with Fang Mu.
Fang Mu wanted to trade with the entire Cyan Deer Tribe openly; there was no need for him to do so in secrecy.
Lu Ke also had his own ulterior motives.
After conversing with the Clan Leader of his own lineage, Lu Ke hoped to ensure that even if the Prayers to the Cyan Deer Clan did not give Fang Mu any consideration and refused to trade with him,
the Bamboo Cyan Deer lineage would still be able to maintain a long-term cooperation with Fang Mu to strengthen their tribe.
