Within the cave, Murong Qianqian was at a loss of what to do after hearing Leng Bingshuang's words that were filled with sternness. The expression on her delicate and pretty face also became somewhat sluggish.
"Speak. What exactly is going on!"
Leng Bingshuang's gaze was stern as she stared at Murong Qianqian. Her tone was filled with anger.
Being stared at by Leng Bingshuang like this, even Murong Qianqian could not help but feel some fear in her heart. Of course, it was more because she knew that she had stirred up trouble.
Her pretty face revealed a timid expression as she bit her red lips. Her hands, which were hugging Xiao Yan's arm, unconsciously tightened. Her eyebrows were slightly knitted as her exquisite eyes slightly rotated. At this moment, the young girl looked quite lovely and moving.
After a long while, Murong Qianqian finally lifted her beautiful eyes and looked at Leng Bingshuang. She muttered in a low voice,
"They forced me to cultivate every day. I felt annoyed, so I thought of coming to elder sister Bingshuang's place …"
"Then you shouldn't have not told your father about this before you left! Do you know that during these few months when you left home, your father and brother had turned the entire clan upside down! "
Leng Bingshuang's angry rebuke caused Murong Qianqian's pretty face to turn deathly pale. Other than her own brother and father, Leng Bingshuang was the third person who dared to reprimand her like this. Even so, Murong Qianqian still restrained all of her temper in front of her. Now that she was once again reprimanded by Leng Bingshuang, a feeling of grievance involuntarily surged up in the young girl's heart.
In the blink of an eye, moisture had already appeared in the young girl's eyes. Her pair of bright eyes had also turned red.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan could not help but lightly raise his eyebrows. Although he had the confidence to say a few words, this was after all someone else's family matter. As an outsider, it was somewhat inappropriate for him to butt in.
Helplessly shaking his head, Xiao Yan could understand the meaning behind Leng Bingshuang's words. Back then, when he left the clan and ventured into the continent alone, his father, Xiao Zhan, was also filled with worry for him.
Back then, Xiao Yan was young and frivolous, so he naturally couldn't understand his father's special feelings. But now, Xiao Yan was also a father, so he naturally understood this deeply.
"Your father has already sent a message. The person who will come to pick you up is waiting for you at Shahepu. Get ready to go back immediately!"
Seeing the young lady's weak appearance, Leng Bing Shuang did not find it strange and snorted softly. She curled her lips and said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the young girl's expression changed again. She did not expect that the person who was going to pick her up had already arrived at Shahepu. It seemed that her father and brother were really anxious!
When she thought of her father's rage, the girl couldn't help but feel a burst of fear.
She wasn't afraid of anything in the family, but she was only afraid of her father and brother. Now that they had sent people here to look for her, it wasn't hard to imagine what kind of emotions they were feeling.
When she thought of her father's and brother's furious expressions, Murong Qianqian's heart couldn't help but shiver. Her thoughts turned rapidly in her mind, and a light flashed. Murong Qianqian once again lifted her gaze and looked at Leng Bing Shuang. She pretended to be helpless and said:
"Sister Bing Shuang, I can go back, but you also know that Shahepu is at the border between Xilin Region and Western Wilderness Region. There are many strong practitioners there, and the journey from here to Shahepu is not short. I can't …"
"Don't think of delaying the time. I know you want to stay with this brat …"
Before Murong Qianqian could finish her words, Leng Bing Shuang interrupted her. Then, she turned her gaze and her long and beautiful eyes fell on Xiao Yan. Her ice-blue eyes stared at Xiao Yan, and a cold light faintly appeared in the depths of her eyes.
"I will hand this girl over to you now. If you can send her to Shahepu unscathed, then you can take as much of the Icy Spirit Cold Liquid as you want. On the other hand, if she is injured …"
"Senior, you don't have to say any more. I understand. However, I still hope that I can use my own abilities to exchange for the Icy Spirit Glacier Fluid and not use my friendship with Lady Murong. I'm very grateful for your trust in me. However, Lady Murong is my friend and I will protect her. Even if you don't ask me to do so, I will do my best to do so!"
Before Leng Bing Shuang finished speaking, Xiao Yan immediately frowned and said.
When Xiao Yan said this, Murong Qianqian, who was at the side, couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on her face.
Seeing the certain expression on Xiao Yan's face, Leng Bing Shuang's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Her eyes, which contained a slight glow, looked deeply at Xiao Yan. Immediately, she did not say anything more. She nodded her head and said once again:
"Alright, since that's the case, you can rest for another day. Tomorrow morning, I will send you to the outskirts of the Xilin Mountain Range. As long as you pass through the outskirts of the mountain range, you will be able to reach the other end of the Xilin Mountain Range."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded his head with a calm face. On the other hand, Murong Qianqian's pretty face was filled with depression. She did not expect that Xiao Yan would actually agree to Leng Bing Shuang to send her back.
After giving a few instructions, Leng Bing Shuang stood up and left the cave, leaving behind Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian.
After that, Murong Qianqian muttered a few words to Xiao Yan in her heart. Soon after, she walked out of the cave with a displeased face. In the blink of an eye, only Xiao Yan was left in the cave.
But with regards to this, Xiao Yan immediately felt relaxed. Murong Qianqian's departure made him feel less pressured.
At the same time, a fiery feeling gradually surged in Xiao Yan's heart towards the following journey.
The Western Wastelands Region. That was the place where the true experts of the Western Region gathered. Only there could Xiao Yan's strength truly increase.
The next day.
In the biting cold wind, Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian, under the protection of Leng Bing Shuang, easily arrived at the edge of the Xilin Mountain Range.
When they arrived here, the three of them slowly stopped in the air.
"Alright, I will escort you here. Next, as long as you head west, you will be able to safely pass through the Xilin Mountain Range. I will have to trouble you for the matters after that."
It was unknown whether it was because of the transaction between the two of them or because of the words Xiao Yan had said yesterday, but at this moment, when Leng Bing Shuang spoke to Xiao Yan, her originally icy cold tone had actually become a little warmer. Even the expression on her stern face had become much warmer than before.
After speaking, Leng Bing Shuang gently waved her lily-white hand. Two rays of light immediately shot towards Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian.
Casually catching the ray of light, what appeared in Xiao Yan's palm was a jade tablet.
It was Chi Hanyu.
"This is for you. The next time you come here, there will be no need to go through so much trouble."
Holding Chi Hanyu in his hand, Xiao Yan's face gradually revealed a solemn expression. Soon after, he did not say anything else. Cupping his hands together, he heavily cupped them towards Leng Bing Shuang.
Leng Bing Shuang's action had undoubtedly already acknowledged him. At the very least, the suspicion in her heart towards Xiao Yan had already completely vanished.
After Leng Bing Shuang turned around and left, Xiao Yan finally slowly withdrew his gaze. By the side, Murong Qianqian's long shapely eyebrows were also slightly knitted. No one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
"Huff …"
Letting out a long breath, Xiao Yan raised his head to look at the vast expanse of white clouds above his head. A glint involuntarily flashed across the depths of his pitch-black eyes. Soon after, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Under Murong Qianqian's astonished gaze, Xiao Yan actually bent his legs and sat in the air.
