Little Qiongqi jumped and danced, waving his little paws and cursing in an animal language that even Mu Hanyan could hear vaguely. He didn't come to Mu Hanyan until the violent stone monster ran away. Then he rubbed his head on her legs a few times, looking at her eagerly.
"Well... well done, you are worthy of being one of the four legendary ferocious beasts." Mu Hanyan certainly noticed this obvious gesture of seeking praise, so she patted its head and praised it.
"Awoo!" Little Qiongqi cheered excitedly as if he had received a great reward, jumping and dancing around Mu Hanyan.
Xia Youchen had a sad face, pursed his lips, and almost burst into tears.
He had been running for his life all the way, and he was in danger of death. Little Qiongqi didn't even dare to attack him once, and his timid look made him secretly anxious. However, as soon as he met Mu Hanyan, his temperament changed drastically. Facing such a powerful and violent stone monster, he actually dared to fight to the death.
Didn’t he say that he loved peace and didn’t like fighting or killing? How come he didn’t see that at all?
A traitor, a traitor, an ungrateful person... Xia Youchen cursed in his heart.
"As expected of one of the four legendary ferocious beasts, it's so... so powerful." Yue Xiuming saw Xiao Qiongqi displaying his might, and thought of his previous daring behavior. He felt a pang of fear in his heart, and shamelessly flattered Xiao Qiongqi.
Xiao Qiongqi was so busy acting cute in front of Mu Hanyan that he had no time to pay attention to it, not even glancing at him. Yue Xiuming felt annoyed, but he didn't dare to get angry, and he shrank his neck awkwardly.
"By the way, who is this?" Yue Xiuming looked at Yue Xiuming and asked.
Anyway, the violent stone beasts have already run away, so there is no need for them to run for their lives anymore.
"I..." When Yue Xiuming heard someone asking about him, he started to show off as usual.
"You don't have to pay attention to him, just call him Xiao Ming." Mu Hanyan waved her hand, interrupting Yue Xiuming's boasting before he could finish his words.
"Xiao Ming..." How could the dignified Prince of Anxi, the future King of Anxi, become Xiao Ming? Yue Xiuming was filled with depression, but he didn't dare to refute.
Although the violent stone monster has run away now, who knows if it will come back? Besides, this place is located in the Longyan Mountains, who knows if there will be any danger. He dare not offend Mu Hanyan.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan had no intention of paying attention to him, Yue Xiuming sat down obediently. After being bullied by Miss Mu for so many days, he seemed to have gotten used to it.
"Can you please sit like a human being?" Mu Hanyan couldn't stand Xiao Ming's sitting posture like a big yellow dog.
"Oh." Yue Xiuming lowered his head and looked at himself up and down. He didn't feel that he was sitting in an inappropriate manner, but he still obediently moved a stone and sat on it.
Okay, now it doesn't look like a big yellow dog, but the hunched sitting posture, coupled with the ingratiating smile, makes it look like a bullied young wife.
Seeing this, Mu Hanyan's mouth twitched. Forget it, I won't say more.
"By the way, Miss Mu, we are already in Shangyue territory. What are you doing here?" Xia Youchen didn't take this bullying bag who was like a humanoid sword pet seriously and continued with the previous question.
Mu Hanyan briefly talked about the Royal Sword Academy's freshman competition. As for the Nine Netherworld Prison and the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth, it was not something that should be told to outsiders.
"By the way, I have a friend named Ye Yanran." After explaining the purpose of coming to Shangyue Kingdom, Mu Hanyan suddenly said.
The last time she met Ye Yanran in the Fantasy Dragon Palace, Mu Hanyan knew her life experience and background, so she ordered the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce to inquire about Xia Youchen's whereabouts, but he had not disappeared. Little did she know that he had gone to the heart of the Longyan Mountains.
"Ye Yanran?" Xia Youchen's eyes narrowed slightly. He had obviously never heard of this name, but the surname still brought back memories that had been sealed deep in his heart, memories that he would never forget in his life.
Mu Hanyan noticed the change in Xia Youchen's eyes and slowly told him Ye Yanran's life story.
"You... you're saying that Ye Yanran is my descendant, and that Qiu Ling didn't leave me of her own free will, but was forced to do so because she was afraid of getting me into trouble?" After hearing Mu Hanyan's words, Xia Youchen grabbed her arm and asked excitedly. Qiu Ling must be Ye Yanran's great-great-grandmother, Xia Youchen's former lover.
"Yanran told me that her great-great-grandmother left you a letter before she died. You will know the answer after reading it." Mu Hanyan said.
"Miss Mu, I'm going to Longyan College now. Take care on your journey." When Xia Youchen heard that Ye Qiuling had left a letter for him, he became even more anxious. Not wanting to delay any longer, he got up and rushed towards Anyun Kingdom.
"Wait." Mu Hanyan called out to Xia Youchen.
"Miss Mu, I was saved by you last time at Feilai Peak. This time, it is thanks to you that I was able to escape the disaster. If the grandparents and grandchildren are reunited, it is also because of your help. I, Xia Youchen, will never forget such kindness and will repay you handsomely in the future." Xia Youchen stopped and said solemnly to Mu Hanyan.
In fact, the fact that they were able to escape the disaster before was not due to Mu Hanyan's credit, but because of the great power of Xiao Qiongqi. However, if it weren't for Mu Hanyan, this ungrateful and treacherous person probably wouldn't have taken action, so the credit was still attributed to Mu Hanyan.
"I'm not talking about this. What I mean is that if you go to Longyan College like this, you might never get out. It's okay if you can't get out, but don't implicate Ye Yanran." Mu Hanyan shook her head and said.
Back then, Xia Youchen became enemies with his mentor because Ye Qiuling was betrothed to someone else. During the argument, he severely injured his mentor, and then betrayed Chenxing Academy. Later, he became An Yun's public enemy.
If he went to look for Ye Yanran, he wouldn't have a chance to escape, let alone go to Longyan College. Once his relationship with Ye Yanran was exposed, Ye Yanran would be deeply affected.
"Alas, I can only blame myself for the disaster caused by my impulsive action back then. It's too late to regret now." Xia Youchen sighed with regret on his face and stopped.
Knowing that he had wrongly blamed his mentor and Ye Qiuling, all the hatred in Xia Youchen's heart disappeared. In his remorse, he had already put his life and death aside. Even though Longyan College was a den of dragons and tigers, he dared to go in. But when he thought that his actions might implicate his only descendant, how could he dare to take the risk.
"How about this, I'll write a letter and you go to Fangjia Village and give it to the head of the Fang family. He will find a way to contact Ye Yanran and reunite you and your grandparents." Mu Hanyan thought for a while and said.
Fangjia Village is located outside the capital. Both the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce and the Fang family are her people, and with Qu Shanling, a half-baked astrologer, in charge, it is not easy for the news to leak out.
"Miss Mu, I really don't know how to repay you for your kindness to my Xia family. Otherwise, I will give this Qiongqi mythical beast to you. Anyway, I think it gets along well with you. Even if the contract cannot be terminated, it is willing to stay with you." Xia Youchen looked at the little Qiongqi who was still holding Mu Hanyan's trouser leg and acting coquettishly, and said to Mu Hanyan with gratitude.
"Senior Xia, you are not trying to trick me, are you?" Mu Hanyan's face changed and she said doubtfully.
