Ma San, whose eyes were about to burst with desperation, scread in a shrill voice, "No!"
i Zhang was even faster; almost as soon as Ma San’s voice sounded, he had already flashed to Yun Ran’s side.
However, the tragic scene they imagined did not appear.
Yun Ran remained sitting in the sa place, perfectly fine, while the massive mouth of the nine-headed ferocious beast seed to be stuck, unable to bite down or close its mouth.
The scene imdiately beca a bit awkward.
Ma San finally realized that his previous actions had been sowhat exaggerated, and combined with his ssy attire, the situation looked even more bizarre.
It’s said that when people are embarrassed, they pretend to be busy to cover it up.
At this mont, Ma San retracted the hand he had previously extended, quickly covered his eyes, and spun in a circle.
"Huh, how did I end up here?"
Yun Ran: ...
With her subordinate embarrassing himself, she also felt a loss of face, especially in front of this mysterious man, making it even more embarrassing.
"All of you, leave. If I don’t call for you, don’t appear."
Yun Ran spoke up, and Ma San imdiately made a hasty escape, pulling the slightly dazed i Zhang along and rushing out of the courtyard.
Others were approaching, and he had to handle the aftermath to prevent anyone from disturbing the master or witnessing anything in the courtyard.
Now, Ma San was completely loyal to Yun Ran, without question.
Everything he saw in the courtyard, he instinctively felt was Yun Ran’s secret that absolutely could not be known by others.
Soon, the other people at this stronghold also arrived, just in ti to see Ma San and i Zhang erge disheveled from the courtyard.
They even thoughtfully closed the courtyard gate behind them.
"There’s nothing for you here anymore, go back to sleep!"
Everyone: ...
Curiosity is human nature, and they were so close to knowing what had happened inside the courtyard.
Facing the clear warning in Ma San’s eyes, so felt a bit disappointed, but unfortunately, their current status did not grant them the privilege to inquire further.
Ultimately, the way they ca was the way they left.
Yet Ma San did not imdiately return to the small corner room; although he knew these people wouldn’t dare offend Lord Divine Envoy, or dare to spy.
But what if soone was born rebellious, unafraid of death?
So, it was better to stay here and guard, ensuring absolutely no one could peep!
Inside the courtyard, although the scene had lost the initial tension, it was still sowhat unresolved.
Initially, it was the nine-headed ferocious beast who couldn’t resist, wanting to show the man before him so color, once again initiating provocation.
It hadn’t intended to actually bite the man’s head off, but a little fright or shedding so blood was inevitable.
However, now its mouth was restrained by an invisible force, along with its body, unable to even shrink down.
The nine-headed ferocious beast blinked and glanced at Yun Ran.
Though it didn’t speak, Yun Ran mysteriously understood the ssage: We’re on the sa side, are you just going to watch this guy embarrass ?
Yun Ran suddenly felt a bit empathetic for her Junior Master, when dealing with a ss; a feeling of wanting to smack so sense.
The one who started the trouble was the nine-headed ferocious beast, but the one to clean it up ended up being her.
Yun Ran didn’t imdiately speak, instead she picked up a teacup beside her, filled with warm plain water.
After drinking the warm water, Yun Ran felt instantly comfortable.
Only then did she speak leisurely, "You first spoke disrespectfully, offending my beast, and now you want to act; are you trying to arm-wrestle with ?"
The people of Qingfeng Temple have one major trait: they stand up for their own.
Whether it’s their own children or beasts, when they make mistakes, it’s up to Qingfeng Temple to discipline them, not outsiders.
The nine-headed ferocious beast hadn’t expected Yun Ran to help it, given their previously poor relationship.
It had only instinctively sought her help, thinking maybe Yun Ran would lend a hand.
Unexpectedly, Yun Ran did help, clearly siding with it.
The nine-headed ferocious beast imdiately perked up, like a dog relying on its master.
The other heads imdiately started shouting various curses: "You little brat, you think you’re all that, daring to offend this Great King, aren’t you going to obediently face your end!!!"
Yun Ran: ...
Her fingers instinctively curled up, wishing she could dive into a hole in the ground; she genuinely wanted to say she didn’t know this idiot who still dared to act tough while his life was in soone’s grip!
Indeed, it seed that these things sealed by Qingfeng Temple’s elders weren’t too smart, not even knowing how to do mischief properly.
"I am not called ’little brat,’ I am Chi Yao."
After Chi Yao spoke, he released his grip, and the nine-headed ferocious beast finally gained its freedom.
Despite talking tough earlier, once it found itself free, it instinctively shrunk its body and stood far away.
Its actions showed what it ant to have a tough mouth but a timid body.
The nine-headed ferocious beast circled around and returned to Yun Ran’s side, nine heads glancing back and forth.
It couldn’t figure out why the young people nowadays were so ferocious!
Yet it still decided to preserve so dignity: "This Great King won’t hold a grudge against a junior like you!"
After speaking, the nine-headed ferocious beast transford into a wisp of breeze and vanished, still feeling that staying away was safer.
If this Chi Yao brat really clashed with Yun Ran, it might be in trouble.
With only Yun Ran and Chi Yao left in the room, it suddenly fell quiet, the previous bustle and noise from the nine-headed ferocious beast disappearing instantly.
"Speak, what is your purpose in seeking out."
Yun Ran’s coldness, Chi Yao could understand, but it still brought a bit of sadness, though this emotion was quickly suppressed by him.
"I know you are here for the Heavenly Book; I have clues, but..."
Yun Ran didn’t want to hear any "but," she had co this far, even if the sky were to fall, she would keep moving forward.
"No need to say but, just tell the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book as you said before, of course, if you have any conditions, you can put them forward as well!"
Chi Yao knew Yun Ran would say this, even if she couldn’t rember him, her way of doing things was just as straightforward as ever.
This allowed the sowhat sad Chi Yao to find a hint of familiar feeling.
"The clue is at the Divine Sword Manor auction; they have a sheepskin map fragnt with the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book."
