Chapter 70 - Returned to its Original Owner (2/2)
The penta-coloured crane who was playing catch with Ah Bai saw Duan Yuyang run off on another horse. It was so angry that it started to quack very loudly, and was ready to rush forward to catch him with one flap of its wings.
Ah Bai followed along behind Chi Xiao and suddenly jumped onto its back.
This time, Chi Xiao couldn’t be bothered with him. It could only think about Duan Yuyang right now.
“Chi Xiao!” Yuan Tianwen called out.
The penta-coloured crane anxiously flapped its wings and kept quacking at Yuan Tianwen, but no one knew what it was trying to say.
Chi Xiao, “Chirp chirp chirp quack quack quack zhi zhi zhi!”
Yuan Tianwen, “…” It’s a pity that he’s not his dad, so he couldn’t understand what Chi Xiao was saying.
But even his dad may not be able to understand the words of a demonic beast in its infant stage. After all, infant stage demonic beasts aren’t very good at expressing what they truly think.
Han Yuran stretched his hand out to touch Chi Xiao’s head, yet Chi Xiao ruthlessly pecked him. If it wasn’t because Yuan Tianwen chided Chi Xiao and asked it to back off, Han Yuran’s hand might have been bitten off entirely.
Han Yuran fearfully hid behind Yuan Tianwen. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the receding figure of Duan Yuyang who was urging his horse forward with a whip, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Yet, Lin Xuanzhi’s beautiful eyes twinkled as his wisdom and prescience was revealed.
All demonic beasts are spiritual. Based on Chi Xiao’s age, it should be a rather high-level infant beast. Even though it couldn’t speak, its actions had already illustrated a few problems.
For instance, Chi Xiao likes Duan Yuyang a lot.

And also, that Chi Xiao doesn’t like Han Yuran.
Even though the reason for this needed to be explored further carefully, one could see the signs of future enmity between Yuan Tianwen and Han Yuran from how Chi Xiao is acting now.
Yuan Tianwen looked at Lin Xuanzhi, took his leave, then called his penta-coloured crane over to resume their journey.
After Yuan Tianwen and Han Yuran rode Chi Xiao and took to the skies, Lin Xuanzhi withdrew his gaze and held his hand out to Yan Tianhen and said, “Ah Hen, let’s go too.”
Yan Tianhen nodded. He held Lin Xuanzhi’s hand and was pulled by the latter to sit in front of him on the horse.
As such, Yan Tianhen was basically sitting in the midst of Lin Xuanzhi’s embrace. Even though a Chasing Sun horse isn’t very big, it was famous for how light-footed and agile it is. Luckily, Yan Tianhen had a short and slender stature, so it didn’t seem out of place for him to be in Lin Xuanzhi’s embrace. The Chasing Sun horse neighed, then spread out its four hooves and ran ahead at lightning speed.
Yuan Tianwen looked down from the back of his penta-coloured crane and saw two Chasing Sun horses running side by side in the wilderness. They looked so carefree and unrestrained that others couldn’t help but admire this sight.

Yet, Han Yuran had been wearing a frosty look on his face ever since they left. His heart was still aching for his Sun Moon Cloud Bracelet.
He thought to himself that he seen through Lin Xuanzhi’s true nature — he’s such a miser! He was actually shameless enough to demand for a present that was already given out. Originally, he had thought that Lin Xuanzhi would’ve refused to take back the bracelet.
Also, that ugly idiot is even stranger — he would actually pick up other people’s second-hand goods for his own use! One look and you can tell that he’s an ugly idiot whom you can’t be seen with in public, can’t he consider his own status first before thinking about whether or not he was fit to wear such a good bracelet!
Han Yuran was in the middle of gnashing his teeth in his heart when he suddenly heard Yuan Tianwen say, “Throw away all of the items that Lin Xuanzhi had given you.”
Han Yuran was shocked and quickly suppressed the words “why should I” that he had almost blurted out, then said, “Those magic treasures are of great use to me. Most of his gifts are magic treasures that have defensive functions. I’m a craftsman, my combat ability naturally can’t be compared to the other cultivators so I need those magic treasures to safeguard myself.”
Yuan Tianwen was sitting in front of Han Yuran, and when he heard these words, he turned back and stared at Han Yuran with a profound look in his eyes. Then he said, “The defensive tools I gave you naturally wouldn’t be worse than his. Also, after we meet my Dad and Father, they will definitely find a way to ensure your safety. Profound Sky Sect will guard you as well, no one will let you get bullied.”
“If that’s the case, then I guess I’m the one who’s thinking too much.” Han Yuran sighed in his heart, then put on a faint smile as he said, “I had originally intended to keep a few of the items that he had given me as souvenirs, but since Tianwen Ge doesn’t like them, I’ll just throw them all away ba.”

“Un.” Yuan Tianwen turned back and continued to look forward.
Yuan Tianwen’s words had turned all of Han Yuran’s worries into joy. He did have the intention of letting Yuan Tianwen see that bracelet, then wait for Yuan Tianwen to ask him about the bracelet’s origins.
After all, a person favoured by the heavens like Yuan Tianwen who had strong possessive tendencies definitely wouldn’t allow his sweetheart to keep gifts from his ex-fiance.
By then, he just needed to act a bit coquettish and say some words before Yuan Tianwen would willingly give him more and better magic treasures.
His main goal had been achieved, but, Han Yuran was still upset about his Sun Moon Cloud Bracelet.
What horrendous luck he must have to actually meet Lin Xuanzhi the moment they left the city gates.
After awhile, Han Yuran suddenly realised that they had always been able to see the two horses and one man on the ground, and couldn’t help but furrows his eyebrows and say, “Tianwen Ge, why must we follow them?”
WIth the speed of this penta-coloured crane, they were definitely able to leave those two horses in the dust.
Yuan Tianwen lightly said, “Since I had already promised Dad to escort Duan Yuyang to Profound Sky Sect, I won’t go back on my words.”
Han Yuran scoffed in his heart and said, “Duan Yuyang may not necessarily appreciate your efforts, also, isn’t he interested in you?”
“How can that be.” Yuan Tianwen said.
“Why not?” Han Yuran sneered and said, “He hates me and often causes trouble for me, isn’t he doing all that because of you?”
“Don’t overthink it.” Yuan Tianwen said, “He doesn’t give me any face when he sees me either.”
“I would hope so.” Han Yuran said.

Yuan Tianwen might have said all that on the surface, but he had other thoughts in his heart.
