When Shushu saw the two return, his attention immediately shifted from Longyin back to them.
He carefully examined the two people from head to toe, making sure they had no injuries. The weight that had been on his heart finally lifted.
After greeting the two of them, he turned his attention back to Long Yin and the others.
Unbeknownst to her, the instant her gaze shifted away, Fu Ziang bared his teeth and even his walking posture became somewhat strange.
He almost couldn't help but wail at the rabbit, but then he received a warning look from Lu Li, so he could only immediately become serious and make a shushing gesture to his mouth.
Seeing that he was sensible, Lu Li was quite pleased and gave him a praising look. Then she slowly walked to Shushu's side and asked gently, "What's wrong with them?"
After learning what had just happened from Shushu, Lu Li was also somewhat at a loss for words. He glanced at Yun Yan, who seemed to be waking up, but ultimately said nothing and just watched quietly.
So, when Yun Yan finally regained consciousness, he saw a large group of people surrounding him, all looking at him as if he were a monkey show.
He was startled, wondering if he had lost an arm or a leg, or if he had turned into some kind of monster. He was so frightened that he quickly scanned his body with his divine sense.
After confirming that no part was missing and that he hadn't turned into a monster, he breathed a sigh of relief, regained his composure, and began exchanging pleasantries with Lu Li and Long Yin.
It can only be said that Yun Yan truly lives up to his reputation as the young master of the auction house; with just a few words, he has enlivened the atmosphere.
Knowing that the Dragon Clan had accepted Yun Yi's commission and would help protect him until his guards arrived, they generously distributed another sum of money.
And this time, not only Longyin and his group had it, but Shushu and his group also had it.
Such extravagant spending left even Shushu speechless. No wonder Sifang Palace wanted to rob him; even she almost fell for it.
Of course, she was just thinking about it. As someone who was skilled at making money and was quite wealthy herself, she wouldn't rob people without reason as long as others didn't provoke her.
Their journey was temporarily halted due to the relationship between the Yun family master and servants.
Six days passed before the Yun family's guards finally arrived.
Their appearance almost stunned everyone, because each of the thirty or so people was carrying a whale on their backs.
Yes, you read that right, everyone gets a whale, and they have all kinds of whales.
Several of the whales, even though they were tightly bound, still exerted all their strength, flailing their tail fins and flippers so hard that they almost crushed the people carrying them.
This shocking scene not only stunned Shushu and the others, but also gave Yun Yan and Yun Yi a big fright.
Yun Yan, in particular, stared at the group of people, his mouth opening and closing for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Finally, Rabbit asked what everyone was thinking: "What are you all doing?"
The leading guard clasped his fists together, not minding the weight of the whale on his back, and knelt on one knee, shouting loudly, "Young Master, we are carrying the whale to apologize!"
Rabbit once again stepped in as the mouthpiece: "Shall the whale apologize?"
The head guard nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Rabbit asked, puzzled, "What crime are you asking for?"
The head guard answered loudly again, "We were supposed to be protecting the young master, but we fell into the trap set by the Four Directions Palace and were lured away from the mountain, causing the young master to be injured and poisoned. It is our fault."
After saying that, he glanced at the group of guards still standing behind him and glared at them: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and apologize."
Instantly, the guards behind him reacted, and one by one they quickly followed his example, clasping their hands and kneeling on one knee, shouting, "Your subordinate has failed in his duty, please punish us, young master."
Then, the guards carrying the giant whale suddenly lost their balance and plunged headfirst into the ground, briefly losing control of the whale on their backs as well.
Those whales were cunning too. Knowing they couldn't escape, they seized that brief moment and their bodies swelled dramatically.
Not only did it bury the guards in the ground, but its sudden increase in size also sent other people flying.
Those people were suddenly swept away and lost their balance, swaying back and forth, while the whales on their backs also attacked at the same time.
Then, one after another, all thirty-six guards, including the head guard who was the first to kneel down, were knocked down.
That wasn't the most outrageous part. What left everyone speechless was that the whale on the guard leader's back flipped over because the guard leader was leaning forward.
The whale's tail slammed straight into the coffee table in front of Yun Yan, shattering it into pieces.
If Yun Yi hadn't reacted quickly and created a protective barrier for Yun Yan, who was still seriously injured, the shattered pieces of the coffee table would probably have turned him into a beehive.
Seeing the scene before them, everyone fell silent. Even Rabbit, who was supposed to be everyone's mouth double, was completely speechless.
After a long while, Yun Yan's voice, filled with gritted teeth, finally rang out coldly: "Who came up with this idea? Who told you to apologize to Fu Jing?"
Most importantly, is the thorn in the story of "bearing thorns to apologize" the same whale?!
Do they even know what they're doing?
As it turned out, they really didn't know that while everyone was silent, the head of the guards had already pulled himself out of the ground.
Belatedly noticing Yun Yan's dark expression, he felt a little guilty, gave an awkward laugh, and answered truthfully, "It was Yun Twenty-Five's idea."
Yun Twenty-Five was also in the group; he was one of the first to be photographed in the field.
He had already revealed himself, and upon hearing this, he immediately raised his hand obediently and stepped forward: "Master, it was my idea."
Yun Yan's face remained dark: "How did you come up with this idea?"
Yun Twenty-Five scratched his head: "I read it in a book."
Yun Yan pressed further, "Which book?"
Yun Twenty-Five was a little embarrassed. Meeting Yun Yan's gaze, he rummaged through his storage ring and finally pulled out a pink book.
Yun Yan gave Yun Yi a look, and Yun Yi immediately understood. With a flick of his wrist, the pink book flew towards him.
Yun Yi took the book, glanced at the title: "Being Wise in People and Actions," and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he respectfully handed it to Yun Yan.
The first thing Yun Yan did after receiving the book was to glance at the title, and it was indeed correct.
At this moment, Yun Yan had already placed the blame on Yun Twenty-Five, believing it to be his fault.
However, after turning to the next page, Yun Yan's face darkened even more.
