Chapter 324
The Peak Master of Breaking Sword Peak had always been absorbed in closed-door cultivation and had never been interested in the common affairs of his peak. Yuan Tianwen had been trained as the heir to the Yuan family since childhood, so he was adept at an early age in dealing with sect peak matters which was handy. In addition, Yuan Zheng and Su Mo had sent subordinates to a.s.sist him, so Yuan Tianwen had already become the face of Breaking Sword Peak early on.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Yuan Tianwen’s words held the greatest authority in Breaking Sword Peak. Daoist Qing Yun, who enjoyed peace and quiet, was willing to become a figurehead Peak Master wholeheartedly.
However, it was also true that among the three peaks, Sinking Sword Peak’s Peak Master Esteemed Lan Yue had always liked to “pick up” disciples whenever he felt like it, and these disciples’ origins didn’t seem small either.
The vast majority of disciples chosen by Broken Sword’s Peak Master, Daoist Yi Dao, were from distinguished families. Only Breaking Sword Peak chose disciples by looking at gender, and not at their background.
On this point, Yuan Tianwen did quite well indeed.
This was exactly why he’s so popular.
However, after Yuan Tianwen took Duan Yuyang to the mountain as a Dao companion, there were many rumors in Profound Sky Sect that Yuan Tianwen didn’t accept female disciples because he liked men and disliked women.
There were also rumors that even Daoist Qing Yun only liked men too.
When Yuan Tianwen heard this, he only rolled his eyes and said “nonsense” with no additional comments.
After a few more steps, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen saw Yuan Tianwen pulling Duan Yuyang, followed by two tiger cubs from a moon gate.
Yuan Tianwen’s face didn’t look good at that moment and Duan Yuyang was also sporting a dark face. Several times he wanted to cast off Yuan Tianwen’s hand but was only pulled tighter along by the other.
As soon as the two cubs saw Yan Tianhen, they began to cry out joyfully, quickly rus.h.i.+ng into his arms.
Yuan Tianwen palmed his forehead, “You should take these two cubs away quickly. They are too noisy and nearly knocked down Yangyang several times. Yangyang seems to also be allergic to their fur.”
Duan Yuyang rolled his eyes and grumpily said, “You’re still treating me like gla.s.s bah? I’m just pregnant, so why are you so nervous? Besides, how strong can two cubs be? They’re just playing with me.”
Yuan Tianwen insisted, “No, I’m not at ease.”
Duan Yuyang was speechless, “I am truly fed up with you.”
Yuan Tianwen’s face was full of persistence.
Yan Tianhen patted Ah Bai on the back and nodded, “Ah Bai and Hu Po are indeed a little too rowdy. I didn’t have time to deal with them at the moment. It must have been really troublesome for you.”
Originally, Yan Tianhen followed Esteemed Huai Yu to Sinking Sword Peak, leaving Ah Bai and Hu Po behind. But later on, Yan Tianhen was determined to stay at Sinking Sword Peak and follow Lin Xuanzhi’s movements while he was cultivating. Esteemed Huai Yu had to return by himself.
As a result, when he reached the peak, Esteemed Huai Yu found his spiritual herb fields had been gnawed into a mess by two tiger cubs who didn’t know what to do on their own.
Esteemed Huai Yu was enraged speechless that he immediately took the tiger cubs and threw them to Sinking Sword Peak.
The two cubs almost ran wild for a month until Duan Yuyang came back. When he saw the two pitiful cubs ignored and unwanted, he took them back to Breaking Sword Peak. Unexpectedly, Yuan Tianwen started to lose his temper with him again.
Meanwhile, Duan Yuyang found that Yuan Tianwen was becoming more and more childish recently.
“You’re welcome.” Duan Yuyang gave Yuan Tianwen a look, “Don’t pay attention to him. I had to take care of Ah Bai and Hu Po myself. He’s been a little stressed lately. Who knows what’s been irritating him.”
Yuan Tianwen frowned, “These two white tigers are too clingy. Since they were brought back, they’ve been clinging to Yangyang even when they sleep. They’re demonic beasts. If you go on raising them like this, you’ll raise them to waste.”
Yan Tianhen had heard people say that about Ah Bai and Hu Po more than once. He was beginning to realize that the problem seemed serious.
These two tiger cubs hadn’t seen him in a few days but they had already made Esteemed Huai Yu lose his temper by messing up his spiritual herb fields. Yan Tianhen’s heart felt stuffy hearing their misconduct, feeling that Ah Bai and Hu Po had grown too accustomed to the ordinary days of being spoiled.
Lin Xuanzhi glanced at the tiger cubs attached to Yan Tianhen’s arms and lightly said, “I have already thought about where they should go.”
Yuan Tianwen asked, “What’s your idea?”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at the cubs and didn’t answer directly. “I heard from Uncle Su Mo that you’re going to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest in the West Continent in the near future to look for an Icy Heart Water Lotus and Colorful Caterpillar Gra.s.s.”
Yuan Tianwen nodded, his expression slightly serious, “We have found many mercenary groups, but none of them are willing to accept this task, even though my father has already increased the payment to a sky-high price. The death soldiers cultivated by the Yuan family have also entered the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest. But since they’ve entered, we haven’t heard from them, and so far no one has yet to come out.”
Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but gasp, “The Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest in the West Continent is really that terrible?”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “There are five death zones in the Five Continents that even Profound Realm cultivators dare not easily go to. There is one for each of the Five Continents in the East, West, North, and South, and the place of death in the West Continent is this Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest. It’s said that there are not only demonic beasts, but also demonic plants, not to mention the miasma and poisonous gases themselves. When the sun and moon alternate, there will be illusions, making people unable to distinguish reality easily. This is a real death zone.”
After Lin Xuanzhi finished, Duan Yuyang and Yuan Tianwen’s expressions grew worse.
