Chapter 1175 — A Strange Affinity
"White people, stay back. This isn't where you belong!"
Although he had reached an agreement with the stingy Brudo, chief of the Taigema Tribe, and reluctantly agreed to let the white people who had paid watch their rainmaking ritual, that didn't mean the Taqila Tribe chief's attitude toward them had improved at all. He still regarded them with disdain and hostility.
He wasn't the only one. Aside from the Taigema Tribe chief, the other tribal chiefs wore much the same expressions. They weren't fond of white people at all.
If they weren't short of money, they wouldn't have let these white people onto their land.
Luan Zhengwei glanced at the white woman, then looked over the other white people behind her. Frowning slightly, he said, "There's something a little off about these people."
"What?"
Li Feng, the head of the Medical Team, looked bewildered.
"Can't you see anything strange about them?"
Luan Zhengwei looked at the others. It seemed he was the only one who felt this way.
The blonde woman's smile and tone were exceptionally friendly—gentle without being flirtatious, clear and sincere. The number of teeth she showed, and the amount she revealed, were practically textbook-perfect. It made people lower their guard without realizing it and respond in kind.
If most of the tribal chiefs hadn't already made up their minds, they might have been won over by this white woman's sincere smile.
But to a professional, that perfection was the biggest giveaway of all.
An ordinary person, especially a scholar in the field of archaeology, couldn't be this naturally approachable under normal circumstances without undergoing rigorous, specialized training.
Having studied the principles of friendliness himself, Luan Zhengwei could naturally recognize some of the tricks behind it.
"That woman's expression is so fake!"
