72 Love Birds (1/2)
”Anything can happen, and no one can guess what others are thinking...”
With his robes fluttering, Fang Yuan ran out of the Lin Mansion and heaved a long sigh.
Even though he did not listen to Elder Han's entire plan, but from his tone and attitude, it seemed that the Spirit Returning Sect was guarding against Fang Yuan, and was trying to restrict his movements.
Of course, Fang Yuan had already guessed this. Furthermore, he was already suspicious of Elder Han, and as of now, it seemed like a challenge as to whose plan would be the better one. This was not definitely a bad thing for Fang Yuan.
”The powers of Spirit Returning Sect are now reduced, and coincidentally, Leiyang County is in a mess right now. Shi Yutong should be occupied trying to deal with the situation in Shaoyang City... This is the best opportunity for me!”
Within the entire Spirit Returning Sect, Elder Yan and Elder Han's inner powers were the strongest and both were martial artists of the 4 Heavenly Gates. However, both of them were injured now.
”It seems... Elden Han's recovery would have to be delayed again...”
Fang Yuan mulled, his eyes deep in thought.
On their side was a Wu Zong and a spiritual knight, and it would be unwise to go head to head.
Of course, since Elder Han would still need Fang Yuan to heal him, while he was recovering Fang Yuan would still be safe.
”Half a year... Hehe...”
Fang Yuan shook his head.
With his current progress, who would know how much he could achieve in half a year?
”From how Elder Han looked just now, it seems that there is no problem with the Xuan Yin Heart Technique, but there might be repercussions in the future... Heh Heh... Spirit Returning Sect? Spirit Returning Sect!”
Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed and a mysterious light glowed from them.
...
After returning to the secluded valley, Fang Yuan settled down. His daily routine included training with the Yin Yang Jade, farming in his spiritual farm, drinking the spiritual tea, consuming the spiritual rice, and occasionally would send Zhou Wenwu out to bring back news to keep himself updated of the outside world.
The Flame Jade Rice was re-planted by him many times, and it seemed different from the usual Vermilion Jade Rice, as it required a different method of growing.
”The good thing is that the Flame Jade Rice evolved from the Vermilion Jade Rice. I could follow this lead, and maybe it would be recorded in the book Master left behind...”
In the field of botany, Fang Yuan was undoubtedly the expert.
He slowly placed a few ruby stones around the seedlings, and nourished it with spiritual fertilizer. Fang Yuan took a step back and was relieved as he noticed the Flame Jade Rice grew a little.
”Flower Fox Ferret, you will be in charge of protecting it from now on, do you understand?”
Fang Yuan stroked its head, as though he was instructing him, and gazed into the sky.
As the sun set, the crimson sun rays filled the secluded valley, making everything appear orange.
”Today is the 6th day. Elder Han will return tomorrow to beg me to heal him...”
Fang Yuan had a cunning look, and suddenly a shriek was heard.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
A strong gust of wind came as the Iron-tailed Black Eagle landed, with its back facing Fang Yuan.
”Good job!”
He chuckled, climbed onto the back of the Iron-tailed Black Eagle, hugged its neck and steadied himself.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
Fang Yuan lifted off together with the Iron-tailed Black Eagle, and as the wind howled against his face, he could not open his eyes.
Once he got used to the wind, he peered open his eyes and realised that he was high above the ground!
In the fluffy white clouds, a black silhouette flashed past. It took aim at a direction and flew towards it like an arrow shot at a target board!
”This is... The feeling of flight?”
Fang Yuan looked down, and through the thin clouds, he could see the entire Qingye City, as though it was a sandcastle, and the people were like ants.
From a different angle, the feeling was entirely different.
This view made him feel like he was a God!
”One day... I will become like this! I must reach this level!”
Fang Yuan tighten his grip and was determined.
The Iron-tailed Black Eagle was quick. In a few moments, it had already flown past Qingye City.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
As the sun fully set, the moon rose and a large black shadow landed just outside a city.
Fang Yuan looked at the large city and felt that it was a pity. ”Oh, Qinghe County... The previous time I took so much effort just to come here, but this time it was effortless to reach here on the back of the Iron-tailed Black Eagle. Uncomparable!”
That's right. Qinghe County, or rather, the headquarters of Spirit Returning Sect, was his target!
Fang Yuan wasn't a person who would not retaliate. Since the Spirit Returning Sect had plotted against him, he wouldn't mind creating trouble and confusion for the sect.
And in his plan, the Iron-tailed Black Eagle played a big part.
”If we succeed, we can return to the secluded valley tomorrow to prove that we were not here... If my prediction is incorrect and if Shi Yutong did set up ambushes around the Sect, I can still escape with the Iron-tailed Black Eagle!”
Fang Yuan stroked its feathers and fed it a bamboo fruit. ”Wait here, and hear out for my signal!”
”Chirp! Chirp!”
The black eagle nodded its head and assured Fang Yuan.
'I have finally tamed this beast!'
