Chen Yan estimated that he had run at least dozens of kiloters before he slowed down.
After walking for a while longer, he heard the gentle sound of flowing water. Following the sound, Chen Yan walked over, exiting a grove to see a creek.
Chen Yan placed Yun Zhao down, laying him beside a stone by the creek. He helped Yun Zhao’s body lean against the stone before turning around, squatting by the creek, and using his hands to scoop water to wash his face.
Only then did Chen Yan stand up and walk to Yun Zhao’s side, looking at the guy. Yun Zhao’s face was flushed red, his eyes wide open as he looked at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan reached out and removed the two pieces of talisman paper he had stuck on Yun Zhao’s chest and back.
Yun Zhao’s body instantly relaxed, regaining his senses.
The mont he regained his freedom, he imdiately jumped up from the ground, retreating a few steps, glaring at Chen Yan angrily, "Zhao Shanhe! I considered you a friend, how could you treat like this!"
Chen Yan’s expression remained calm as he looked at Yun Zhao and said indifferently, "It’s because I am willing to consider you my friend that I did this to you."
"You!!" Yun Zhao’s body trembled with anger as he pointed at Chen Yan, "You ambushed , used Talisman Art to bind , and forcefully took away? Is this how you treat a friend?"
A trace of impatience flashed in Chen Yan’s eyes. After a mont of thought, he reached into his arms and took out a porcelain bottle, slowly tossing it in front of Yun Zhao — it was none other than the bottle of Heavenly Repair Pill that Yun Zhao had given him.
"For the sake of the days we spent together, I subdued you and forcefully took you away. That’s all there is to say. Whether you can understand it or not is up to you. Since you think I’m not a good enough friend, I’ll return this bottle of Heavenly Repair Pill to you. Let’s just pretend we never t."
After saying this, Chen Yan turned around and left.
But Yun Zhao’s face turned dark, and he shouted loudly, "Zhao Shanhe! You!!"
Suddenly, Chen Yan stopped, turned around, and stared coldly at Yun Zhao. That cold gaze startled Yun Zhao, causing him to instinctively step back, stamring, "You, you..."
"Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact we know each other and that you’ve been pretty good to , I really wouldn’t bother with you, a spoiled brat."
Chen Yan’s tone was firm.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao’s anger surged: "You, you call a brat..."
"Aren’t you?" Chen Yan sneered, deliberately using a mocking tone, "What are you relying on as your confidence?
Your ager cultivation? Just a Second Realm Cultivation?
Filled with curiosity, brimming with energy, always wanting to see everything, poking your nose into every commotion.
Do you truly think this world is the backyard of your Black Feathered Lark Race in the Southern Yishan?
You don’t know the height of the sky or the depths of the earth, you’re unaware of the dangers of the world, clueless about life and death!
You managed to go from the north to the south, poking your nose everywhere. Spouting nonsense, ddling in affairs... what the hell are you relying on?
If it were anyone else, a cultivator with just Second Realm Cultivation daring to act so recklessly outside, they’d have died a hundred tis over!
The fact that you’ve survived this long, living comfortably, eating well is not because of your luck or your skills!
It’s purely because you have soone like Liang by your side, a master!
Soone to protect you, clean up your ss, and back you up!
Without these people, you would’ve been devoured with no bones left long ago!
In my view, you’re just a spoiled little brat with your family’s backing!
Mischief in normal days is tolerable, no harm done!
But when danger cos, all you do is add to the chaos and create trouble. What else can you do?!"
These words struck hard, causing Yun Zhao’s body to tremble!
He looked at Chen Yan in surprise, his eyes filled with anger and sha, his expression extrely unpleasant.
But Chen Yan couldn’t care less about his emotions, coldly saying, "I dragged you out here, over a hundred miles away, to keep you away from danger. I’ve done my utmost for you! If you’re hell-bent on rushing into danger, I’m not stopping you.
If you want to watch the excitent, then just turn back and head back!
If Liang sees you return, he’ll be extrely delighted, thinking he managed to save such a ’wise’ young master for the tribe!"
Yun Zhao roared, "You! How can you say that about ?!"
"Am I wrong?" Chen Yan sneered at Yun Zhao. "Liang clearly sensed danger, which is why he stayed behind alone, hoping to keep you safe!
And what did you do? When faced with danger, not only did you fail to appreciate his sacrifice, but you also clamored about wanting to watch the excitent!
Watch the excitent!
Is your mind entirely incapable of housing anything else? Are you that obsessed with play?
When sothing happens, no one’s expecting you to contribute much, but simply not causing trouble is the least you could do! Not causing trouble! Do you understand these words?!
If you’re not a spoiled brat, then who is!
Done speaking, Chen Yan no longer paid any attention to Yun Zhao, turning around to return to the creekside. He took out a towel, soaked it in the water, and carefully wiped his neck.
Yun Zhao, after being berated by Chen Yan, watched his face change from flushed red to pale white.
His originally angry and irritated eyes gradually lost their fury, his fists clenched, his body trembling slightly in place, but looking in the direction they ca from, he ultimately didn’t take a single step forward.
He couldn’t help but raise his head to look at Chen Yan’s back shadow. His eyes no longer held the anger from being scolded, but were instead filled with a faint hope and expectation.
But it seed that Chen Yan was entirely oblivious, ignoring him completely, not even turning around to give him a glance.
