What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)

Chapter 86: A Useless Mind

Chapter 86: A Useless Mind

As Xiao Yan pursued his target, the cave gradually returned to calm.

When Xiao Yan finally stopped, the only ones left standing in the cave, or rather, the only ones still alive, were Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian.

Xiao Yan furrowed his brow slightly and looked towards the entrance of the cave, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

He escaped

And the one who escaped was none other than Mu Li, the deputy leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, the mastermind behind the mercenaries attack on Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian.

Damn scum

A touch of killing intent flashed in Xiao Yans eyes, and his opinion of Mu Li had hit rock bottom.

If all the mercenaries he had killed could escape, Xiao Yan wouldnt feel much anger.

But Mu Li was different.

Although these mercenaries were despicable, they ultimately attacked him and Xiao Yixian under Mu Lis command.

They clearly trusted Mu Li, their deputy leader, so much.

However, the one they trusted, as soon as he realized something was amiss, abandoned them without hesitation and fled first.

If those mercenaries were disposable, Mu Li, the deputy leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, was the one who deserves no mercy.

Mu Li was the person who should least survive in Xiao Yans hands!

Tsk

Xiao Yan clicked his tongue and put the Heavy Xuan Ruler back behind him. He had no intention of chasing after Mu Li.

Mu Li, who had been roaming the Magic Beast Mountain Range for years, was undoubtedly more familiar with this place than Xiao Yan. It would be easy for him to shake off Xiao Yans pursuit.

However, without a doubt, Mu Li had made it onto Xiao Yans kill list.

As the leader of the mercenaries, he should have thought of his subordinates first, but instead, he abandoned them without hesitation in times of danger, despite their trust in him.

This scum had no right to live in this world.

Xiao Yan, is it over?

Yeah, its over.

At this moment, Xiao Yixians voice came through. Xiao Yan paused for a moment and then softly replied. The black aura that had emerged retreated back into his inner depths, causing Yao Chen, who is residing in the ring on his finger to slightly furrow its brow.

Although Xiao Yan himself was not aware of the existence of the black aura, he seemed to be getting more skilled at controlling it

He couldnt tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Lets start packing up.

Huh? Pack up what?

Xiao Yan said indifferently, leaving Xiao Yixian momentarily confused.

Then, under Xiao Yixians puzzled gaze, Xiao Yan used the Spatial Ring to store all the headless corpses that were scattered on the cave walls and cleaned up the red and white fluids on the sides of the cave with clean water.

What on earth are you doing?

Xiao Yixians eyebrows trembled as she looked at Xiao Yans series of actions, and Xiao Yan responded.

This is the resting place of that senior. It shouldnt be tainted with impurity.

After hearing Xiao Yans explanation, Xiao Yixian was completely dumbfounded.

Youre really going overboard, arent you? Are you suggesting that the skeleton might want someone to accompany it in burial? Its better than being alone in a secret room, right?

Xiao Yan was unaware of Xiao Yixians thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldnt care.

After cleaning up the cave, Xiao Yan approached the secret room, pressed a mechanism, and slowly closed the door. He paid his respects one last time, then turned and walked towards the exit of the cave, greeting Xiao Yixian as he passed by.

Lets go too.

Huh? Oh!

Xiao Yixian snapped out of her thoughts and quickly followed.

As they walked out of the cave, they immediately noticed a clearly cut rope on the ground, which was likely used by Mu Li to escape.

Xiao Yan looked up at the towering cliff, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yixian.

Ill help you climb up.

Although Xiao Yan said so, Xiao Yixian could still clearly see the slight blush on his face in the moonlight. She helplessly waved her hand.

Never mind, never mind. With your pure and innocent appearance, if you accidentally touch something and your body goes limp while climbing, we might both fall off the cliff. I dont plan to accompany you in death.

Uh

Hearing Xiao Yixians words, Xiao Yan couldnt deny it and scratched his face awkwardly, asking.

What should we do then?

Wait.

Xiao Yixian said softly, then put her finger to her mouth and blew a whistle that echoed through the valley.

Just as Xiao Yan was wondering why Xiao Yixian did this, he suddenly caught sight of a shadow in the distance swiftly approaching from the sky. Within a few breaths, it arrived in front of the two and landed steadily.

And when Xiao Yan saw the true identity of the shadow, his pupils slightly contracted.

A First-Grade Magical Beast, the Blue Eagle.

This is my friend, Xiao Lan~

Xiao Yixian explained as she gently stroked the head of the Blue Eagle, which obediently allowed her touch. Xiao Yan, who witnessed this scene, was somewhat surprised.

The Blue Eagle is a fierce Magical Beast. Its impressive that you can tame it.

I happened to save its life once before, and since then, it willingly listens to me, Xiao Yixian said, her gaze becoming somewhat melancholic. Those mercenaries who were about to attack me earlier, I saved them several times as well

Xiao Yan furrowed his brow slightly and listened quietly to Xiao Yixians next words.

Magical Beasts understand the principle of gratitude, yet humans can not. Its really pathetic.

Watching the bitter smile on Xiao Yixians face, Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment before speaking in a calm tone.

Its just an isolated case. Theres no need to despair about all humans. Xiao Yan chuckled and met Xiao Yixians gaze. I believe there are still many people in this world who are willing to sacrifice themselves to repay the kindness that they receive.

After hearing Xiao Yans words, Xiao Yixian was slightly taken aback, but then she smiled.

Youre right. I did offend those who know gratitude with my earlier words.

Xiao Yixian understood that her earlier words were merely instinctive. In reality, she knew very well that there are ungrateful individuals among humans, just as there are among Magical Beasts, and vice versa.

It was inappropriate to forcefully apply her self-conception to both groups like that.

Moreover, Xiao Yixian believed that someone like Xiao Yan before her would never commit such an ungrateful act.

Lets go! Lets go up!

Xiao Yixian regained her mood and pulled Xiao Yan onto the back of the Blue Eagle. The Blue Eagle then lifted off, carrying the two of them slowly into the air.

At this moment, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yixian and pointed at the Blue Eagle beneath them, asking in confusion.

Why didnt you call it when you came down earlier? Isnt it much more convenient than a rope?

Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Yixian glared at him, Are you suggesting that I whistle to attract Mu Li and the others before even entering the cave?

Xiao Yan fell silent, his expression becoming somewhat embarrassed. Seeing his expression, Xiao Yixian covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Although this young man around her age was incredibly upright, his brain didnt seem to function as smoothly as she had thought.
