What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)

Chapter 101: Conversation

Xiao Yan was about to bring the grilled meat and boiled water to Yun Zhi when a distant cry caught his attention.

Looking up, he saw a black figure swiftly flying towards him, and within seconds, it landed in front of him.

It was Little Lan, with a letter tied to its leg.

During the two months Xiao Yan stayed in the Magical Magic Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yixian frequently exchanged letters with him through Little Lan.

Youve worked hard~

Xiao Yan gently patted Little Lans head, and the creature closed its eyes, enjoying the affection. The frequent interaction had made Little Lan quite familiar and friendly with Xiao Yan. Besides Xiao Yixian, he seemed to be the only human it didnt repel.

Xiao Yan took the letter from Little Lans leg, sat on a rock, and read the contents.

Xiao Yan, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has recently swallowed several other mercenary groups and started sending mercenaries into the Magical Magic Beast Mountain Range frequently. Be careful.

These two brief lines carried a deep concern that warmed Xiao Yans heart. However, they also made his brow slightly furrow.

The reason why Xiao Yan could confidently leave Qingshan Town was that the influence of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group there wasnt significant enough to threaten the prestigious Myriad Medicines Hall.

But recent letters from Xiao Yixian indicated that the Wolf Head Mercenary Groups power had been rapidly expanding in Qingshan Town. If this trend continued, they might ignore Myriad Medicines Halls prestige and take action against Xiao Yixian and Boss Yao.

Why had they suddenly expanded so rapidly?

Xiao Yan couldnt comprehend it. While the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was indeed the top-ranked mercenary group in Qingshan Town, they were not powerful enough to casually absorb other groups. If they had such strength, they would have done so long ago.

So why did it happen specifically during the past two months? What had transpired to enable such rapid growth for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?

Xiao Yan felt deeply puzzled, but one thing was clear.

He had to return as soon as possible.

If he continued to delay, Boss Yao and Xiao Yixian might be in danger.

Determined to act, Xiao Yan took out pen and paper from his storage ring and wrote a sentence on the letter.

I will rush back soon. You and Boss Yao must stay safe.

He then tied the letter to Little Lans leg, lightly patted its wings, and Little Lan loudly chirped as it flew higher and further away under Xiao Yans gaze.

Youve fallen for another one, huh, Little Yan? Yao Chen teased with a light smile. One more girl has succumbed~

Dont joke around, Senior Yao, Xiao Yan waved his hand, holding the grilled meat and water as he walked towards the cave. He knew that Yao Chen was teasing him, as it wasnt the first time.

Many of his ideals conflicted with those of Xiao Yixian, so at most, they were just good friends. Xiao Yan didnt believe there was anything special about him that would make her like him.

Just think whatever you want~

Yao Chen shrugged. He had a hunch that his disciple would inevitably be troubled by women in the future, sooner or later.

Returning to the cave, Xiao Yan saw that Yun Zhi was already sitting up. He immediately expressed his concern.

Yun Zhi, are you feeling better now?

Yes, much better, Yun Zhi replied softly with a smile. Thank you for the healing medicine.

Dont mention it. If it werent for you, I would have died before.

Xiao Yan expressed his gratitude, still remembering how Yun Zhi saved him in front of the Dou Wang.

A drop of water in return for a gushing spring; moreover, it was a life-saving favor. Xiao Yan naturally felt compelled to repay it with all his efforts.

Are you hungry? I grilled some meat for you.

Yes, Ive been craving your grilled meat.

Yun Zhi smiled and picked up the grilled meat to eat, while Xiao Yan sat on a stone chair opposite her, quietly watching her.

Being scrutinized by Xiao Yan, Yun Zhi inexplicably felt a bit uncomfortable.

Why are you staring at me? she asked.

Ah? Ah Xiao Yan was slightly startled and then scratched his face awkwardly. It just feels like Im back to those days of traveling together. I didnt expect to meet you again so soon.

Perhaps its fate, Yun Zhi said and took another bite of the grilled meat. While chewing, she asked, How long have you been in the Magical Magic Beast Mountain Range?

I came here the day after we separated.

Oh.

Yun Zhi replied, and then the atmosphere inexplicably became awkward. Xiao Yan turned his head away, and Yun Zhi quietly ate her grilled meat.

Both of them wanted to talk about something, but they didnt know what to say, leading to an eerie silence in the cave.

After a few seconds, both of them seemed to want to break the awkwardness and spoke at the same time.

ThatThat

Once again, they both paused at the same time. Xiao Yan was the first to react and gestured for Yun Zhi to speak first.

Yun Zhi, you go ahead.

I just wanted to know how you met the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?

This was currently the thing Yun Zhi was most curious about. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was a sixth-ranked Magical Beast and the ruler of the Magical Magic Beast Mountain Range. It was seemingly unrelated to Xiao Yan, who was merely a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level), and yet the attitude the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King showed towards him was extremely respectful. This was something Yun Zhi had never imagined.

Although Xiao Yan had said it was because he had helped the son of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, she found it hard to believe that a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) could be of any help to the creatures son.

Even though Xiao Yan gave her an answer, Yun Zhi couldnt help but frown slightly.

Did the son of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King really need a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)s help?

However, since Xiao Yan said so, it must be true. Yun Zhi had complete confidence that Xiao Yan would never lie.

Yun Zhi, what do you need the Purple Crystals for?

Xiao Yan asked, as Yao Chen had mentioned that while Purple Crystals were precious, there were very few places where a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) like Yun Zhi would need them.

Its for my discipleIts for my disciple Yun Zhi was about to reply, but her words suddenly choked, and after a pause, she continued, Its needed to refine pills for my disciple. I intended to make a peaceful exchange, but it almost cost me my life.

Saying this, Yun Zhi couldnt help but reveal a bitter smile.

Although she was defeated by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King earlier because she was distracted by Xiao Yan, the battle between her and the creature would most likely have ended in mutual defeat even if she had no distractions. Once she was hit by the Purple Crystal Seal, regardless of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion Kings intentions, her chances of surviving in the Magical Magic Beast Mountain Range were slim, let alone obtaining the Purple Crystals.

But now, although she was still under the influence of the Purple Crystal Seal, she had obtained the Purple Crystals, and Xiao Yan was by her side to protect her. Moreover, Xiao Yan was acquainted with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, so at least there was no life-threatening danger.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhi couldnt help but smile helplessly.

Last time, she saved Xiao Yans life, and now the roles seemed to be reversed
