After clarifying all the ins and outs, Tu Nian's worries were resolved. He didn't have to sell his body or lose his life. The reward offered by the demon clan was easily obtained. This is the power of people with connections.
It was a pity for her senior brothers who were kept in the dark and had to endure the banquet feeling very cautious, not knowing that they were just there to make people laugh.
However, the fun was not completely without results. For example, Tu Nian discovered that Yuwen Yiyi seemed to be particularly interested in her expressionless senior brother, while Jin Nanfeng had always been obsessed with cultivation and did not understand women. Faced with a cheerful and proactive girl like Yuwen Yiyi, he seemed a little at a loss. The two interacted many times during the meal, and they seemed to be a perfect match.
It was also because of this that Tu Nian finally let go of his anger towards Bo Qiu. After all, if this commotion could distract Jin Nanfeng, the cultivation maniac, and suppress the development of his demonic barrier, it would be a good gain.
After the banquet, Tu Nian and the others prepared to return home. Yuwen Che escorted them out of the Magic City as promised. Normally, the birthday girl, Yuwen Yiyi, was supposed to stay to meet several distinguished guests, but upon hearing that Jin Nanfeng was leaving, she insisted on seeing him off. Yuwen Futu had always doted on her, and since seeing someone off wouldn't take too long, he let her go.
Outside the Demon City, there are no more restrictions on teleportation talismans and formations. Yuwen Che personally set up a teleportation formation for several people and ordered his men to send the sixth-level fallen demon wind raccoon.
When the brightly-furted raccoon came out, Su Youzhi's eyes lit up immediately and he reached out to take it, but the man handed the raccoon directly into Bo Qiu's arms.
She was startled and was about to speak when she met Bo Qiu's foxy eyes that looked at her with a gentle smile. The watery eyes made her heart flutter.
"This raccoon is wild and untamed. You'll get hurt if you take it with you."
Bo Qiu's words immediately made Su Youzhi recall all the good things Bo Qiu had done for her along the way. She retracted her action without even thinking about it, with a shy look on her face. Tu Nian, who was watching from the side, almost laughed out loud.
Yu Wenche knew exactly why they wanted this Wind Fox, and warned them, "This Wind Fox's inner core has completely mutated. Please be careful when using it."
Bo Qiu raised his eyes and met his teasing gaze, his eyebrows moved slightly, and everything between the two of them was expressed without words.
Now the debts owed by both parties were paid off, and Tu Nian and others were about to leave. When Jin Nanfeng was about to enter the teleportation array, he felt a weight behind him. Looking back, he saw Yu Wen Yiyi pulling him reluctantly.
"When will you come again?"
This time, Jin Nanfeng had no idea how to ask. He was stunned and his expression was a little fluctuating. He didn't know if it was because he was embarrassed or what, but he was definitely not as calm as usual.
“That’s great.”
"Isn't it?"
Tu Nian and Chu Qiurong leaned against each other, both feeling relieved that the iron tree was about to bloom. Bo Qiu, who was standing by, saw this and frowned. He tightened his arms unconsciously, squeezing the raccoon in his arms until it screamed.
No one knew whether Jin Nanfeng remained silent because he was shy or didn't have the brains to respond to the girl's advances, or whether Yu Wen Che knew what his sister was thinking and came out to smooth things over.
"Alright, didn't they say they'd be offering a reward in the next few days? If you really can't bear to leave, at worst, you can just wait for this young master to come back and help him more."
Yuwen Che's words gave Yuwen Yiyi a way out without making Jin Nanfeng too embarrassed. Yuwen Yiyi was not stupid and understood what he meant, so he let go and just looked at Jin Nanfeng with a pout.
"You have to come."
Wood is wood after all. The third princess' earnest instructions did not elicit a response from Jin Nanfeng. As a black gas slowly rose from the teleportation formation, Tu Nian and the other seven left Dongzhenxu with the bounty of their battle results.
Yuwen Che was thoughtful enough to use this teleportation array to send Tu Nian and his group directly back to the outskirts of the Far North Territory. From there, they could fly back to the snow in a matter of moments, which was quite convenient indeed.
Tu Nian left the teleportation array and saw the crowds of people still thronging the Far North, showing no sign of slowing down. She couldn't help but feel worried. She'd left a considerable amount of spirit stones for Nie Yanchen before leaving, but if Nie Yanchen continued to spend his money recklessly, his situation would be precarious. She had to hurry back to clean up the mess.
Thinking of this, she quickly took out her share of the reward and handed it all to Chu Qiurong. "Second Brother, Third Brother, please go to the Bounty Pavilion and hand in the reward. My eldest brother and I need to go back and check on the situation in the sect first."
Chu Qiurong could more or less guess what she was thinking and nodded, "I understand. San'er and I will try our best to come back before dark."
After he finished speaking, Xu Ziqiao collected Jin Nanfeng's share of the reward. Then the two of them flew out quickly on their swords and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After watching the two of them leave, Tu Nian drew his sword and said to Jin Nanfeng, "Big Brother, you take Bo Qiu with you. I'll do it myself."
"good."
"etc!"
Jin Nanfeng responded and was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by a delicate cry from nearby. Tu Nian, anxious to return to the sect, remembered that he still had to deal with Yuqing and the other two troublemakers. The other party had entered the teleportation array before them. Perhaps there was a slight deviation in the operation of the formation. Although these two had also arrived in the Far North, they did not end up in the same place as Tu Nian and his group.
They were anxious to get the Fengli in Bo Qiu's hands, but they were not familiar with the Far North. After searching for a while, they finally got the approximate direction from Chu Qiurong and Xu Ziqiao who had left on flying swords. Now they were relieved to see that Tu Nian and the others had not left yet.
"I thought you guys were gone."
Su Youzhi's face was red from the cold. She pinched her waist and took a few breaths, then smiled at Bo Qiu, "Master, you've had a hard time along the way. Now you can return Fengli to me."
Tu Nian perked up and the corners of his mouth curved up.
Here it comes! Turn against her! Make her cry!
Taking in Tu Nian's expectant expression, Bo Qiu didn't let her down. He smiled back at Su Youzhi with a curved brow, and said calmly, "Young lady, you're joking. I only said I would help you rescue this raccoon, but I never said I would give it to you. How can you even talk about 'returning' to me?"
Bo Qiu said these ruthless words in a gentle and tender tone. Su Youzhi listened to them, and even the shy expression on her face had not faded. It took her a long time to realize what he meant. She hesitated and said, "What?"
It didn't matter how Luo Qinghe stood up for her afterwards, or how Jin Nanfeng dismissed the two of them with a wave of his hand, and forcibly took Tu Nian and Bo Qiu away.
Tu Nian only remembered Su Youzhi's expression changing from disbelief to deep hurt, and then to near collapse. She saw it all, as if all the grudges from the past were returned to this brat, which was really gratifying.
