1280 Hunters Filling the Streets (2/2)

”Girl, the jerks that are hitting on you are back again,” the old woman called out mockingly.

”Grandaunt, I'm Zhao Manyan, Bai Mingjing's son!” Zhao Manyan quickly explained with an awkward face.

Chen Yi was surprised to see Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan. ”Why are you here!?”

Chen Yi clearly had no idea that Zhao Manyan had gone missing. The incident was not completely revealed to the public. Chen Yi had spent all her time in Yantai, so she was clueless about what happened in the Magic City.

”You are Mingjing's son. I remember you; I told you not to harm the little sparrows so you wouldn't develop the habit of thinking that it's fine to hurt the little animals or other people, as long as it doesn't affect you. Have you fixed your bad habits now?” The old woman looked at Zhao Manyan sternly.

”Ugh... I believe you're referring to my elder brother?” Zhao Manyan vaguely remembered it. They were playful when they were still kids. They once tortured the little sparrows in the garden and ended up being scolded by their grandaunt.

Zhao Manyan set the sparrows free, but Zhao Manyan flung the sparrows to the ground and killed them in a rage.

”You are the younger one... oh, I heard Chen Yi mention you. What about your brother? How is he doing… if a person doesn't fix his habits, it might rot their bones. You can still dig it out from the bones while enduring the pain, but once it reaches your heart, there's no way you will be able to fix it. He might end up harming people!” the old woman said.

Zhao Manyan had never taken his grandaunt's words seriously. However, after what happened, he did not feel good hearing them again.

Perhaps it was exactly what his grandaunt had said: Zhao Youqian's habits had rotted his heart. All he cared about was his own benefits. He had lost his conscience and human empathy.

”Don't tell me you're here for the demon crests, too?” Chen Yi asked.

”Yeah, we thought only a few of us had the information. Who knew that the streets would be crowded with Hunters. Even the inns are three times as expensive as usual!” Mo Fan grumbled.

”You can just stay here with me and my grandma, I'll prepare the rooms. Just place your stuff in the living room!” Chen Yi was very happy. It had been a while since anyone visited her. She had been living peacefully here and gradually forgot about the past, but she did feel a little lonely since she did not have any friends around her own age.

”Did you stop practicing magic?” Mo Fan asked when he sensed that Chen Yi's cultivation had not changed much.

Chen Yi shook her head and said, ”There's no end to it. I'm already content with how strong I am, since I don't go around and fight demon creatures. I feel happy that I can teach the young Mages who have just Awakened their magic in the Penglai Magic Association. I couldn't be a great person, but it's not bad being the teacher of future great people, either!”

Mo Fan realized that Chen Yi's temperament had changed a lot. She used to be a little proud with a blind ambition of pursuing everything she saw. However, it seemed like she had figured out what she really wanted. She was like an orchid with a unique fragrance, waiting for her time to blossom.

It explained why the old woman thought they were trying to hit on Chen Yi. The girl was indeed more charming now!

”We are actually here for something else. We are only interested in the demon crests to earn some quick money,” Zhao Manyan said.

The Totem Beast was still their first priority. Yu Shishi was not willing to let anyone come into contact with the Moon Moth Phoenix. It could not be helped since she was being very cautious after everything she had gone through. However, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan believed if they could find the other Totem Beasts, they would be able to unleash the full potential of their symbolic vessels!

Zhao Manyan had confirmed it with Baxia. Mo Fan strongly believed it, too!

”Grandaunt, you've been living here for so long. Have you seen anything like this before? It's an ancient Seal, related to a certain ancient existence,” Zhao Manyan said, showing the seal that Mo Fan had derived to the old woman.

The old woman opened her eyes. She acted languidly at first, but her eyes glittered when she took a glance at the Seal. She started to tremble, as if a shocking memory had risen up!

Mo Fan and Lingling exchanged glances.

The old woman had recognized the Seal!

Their speculation on the Totem Seals was right! After taking out the Totem Seal of the Moon Moth Phoenix from the Totem Seal of the feather, the remaining Totem Seal was related to another Totem Beast!

It turned out that the Totem Beast was really here in Penglai, or at least the old woman had seen the Seal before!
