Thinking of this, Xiao Tian spoke, "If there’s nothing else, I intend to return."
Sun Miaohan, who had been lost in thought, was startled awake by this and blurted out without thinking, "Leaving so soon?!"
After speaking, noticing Xiao Tian’s reaction, Sun Miaohan quickly clarified, "I an, the scenery here is so beautiful, staying a couple of more days wouldn’t hurt!"
As she spoke, Sun Miaohan’s expression beca increasingly evasive, showing a clear contradiction between her words and true feelings, but she still forced herself to finish the sentence completely.
However, Xiao Tian shook his head slowly, "We’ve been here for almost a month, and we’ve seen almost all there is to see. Besides, now that your power has been unsealed, if you want to play more, why not stay a couple more days?"
Sun Miaohan seed to suddenly realize sothing, murmuring to herself, "Yes, unknowingly, we’ve already been out for a month."
After pondering for a long ti, Sun Miaohan moved to stand opposite Xiao Tian and said, "I once said, unless you willingly give the Shaking Light Disc, but now it seems that the possibility is slim."
These sowhat disappointed words made Xiao Tian feel a bit apologetic, though fundantally this matter wasn’t really her fault.
But the fact was that Sun Miaohan lost the wager she made with Ji Dantong and, despite nurous strategies, ended up with nothing!
Feeling a bit sorry for her, Xiao Tian had to offer an alternative, "The Shaking Light Disc is very important to . If possible, you can tell your sect when you return, and I can compensate with the energy contained within it."
Sun Miaohan shook her head, "No need! When do you plan to leave?"
Xiao Tian thought for a mont and said, "The sooner the better."
After speaking, he reached into his pocket and took out a small box, handing it over to Sun Miaohan, "This should be enough for your report back ho!"
With downcast eyes, Sun Miaohan still took the box from Xiao Tian and opened it, revealing a remarkable item, but at this mont, she had no interest in marveling at it, only handing it back casually.
This ti, it was Xiao Tian’s turn to be surprised. He had already carefully considered before taking out such a rare and precious item like the Dragon Beard Vine. Could it not et Sun Miaohan’s expectations?!
However, he had misunderstood.
In fact, the mont Sun Miaohan saw the Dragon Beard Vine, she was indeed a bit surprised, but imdiately suppressed it, not deliberately, just truly uninterested.
Surely, the Dragon Beard Vine is indeed a precious treasure, and Sun Miaohan knows its value.
To so extent, the Dragon Beard Vine is similar to the Fairy’s Tears in that both can replenish True Qi in a short ti, the difference being that the Fairy’s Tears can be reused, but don’t have healing properties.
But this doesn’t an the Dragon Beard Vine is inferior to the Fairy’s Tears!
Quite the opposite, in many cases, the Fairy’s Tears is incomparable to the Dragon Beard Vine.
For example, in so prescriptions, the Dragon Beard Vine is an essential and irreplaceable ingredient. Moreover, the Dragon Beard Vine can be cultivated as seeds, but the Fairy’s Tears cannot be mass-planted.
"Even if I bring it back, it has to be handed over to the sect. It’s better for you to keep it; perhaps you’ll find it useful!" Sun Miaohan explained.
Xiao Tian imdiately understood, and, feeling slightly worried for her, said, "Then going back empty-handed, won’t you face any punishnt?"
Sun Miaohan was touched by Xiao Tian’s concern but quickly took a deep breath, put on a relaxed smile, and said, "Surely I will, so I have to rely on you!"
"Rely on ?!" Xiao Tian stared wide-eyed.
Sun Miaohan, as if it were the most normal thing, said confidently, "Yeah, I estimate I’ll be locked away for three to four years this ti, so you’ll have to co rescue then!"
"Why should I?!"
Xiao Tian stared at Sun Miaohan as if he had seen a ghost, "Do I owe you sothing?"
"Of course, you can choose not to rescue !" Sun Miaohan’s eyes flashed cunningly, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face, "As long as you’re not afraid of becoming a laughing stock worldwide."
"Think about it, during this ti I’ll surely not escape Tao Zhenghao’s harassnt. If I happen to soften my heart, what will people say about you, ’the Hunter’s woman was seduced away...’"
Before Sun Miaohan could finish, Xiao Tian nodded and agreed because, based on his understanding of Sun Miaohan, she would absolutely pull such a stunt.
Just like Sun Miaohan seeking Xiao Tian in the past, attracting attention by rolling around and making a scene, eventually reaching her goal.
"Since I’ve agreed, you must at least give a place to look for you?" Xiao Tian said, "It would be quite amusing if I can’t even find you then!"
Sun Miaohan remained silent for a long ti before speaking, "Once your strength reaches a certain level, you will naturally find ; conversely, telling you now is useless considering your current strength, and it might negatively impact you."
Listening to this familiar tone, Xiao Tian felt he had heard it sowhere before but knew Sun Miaohan wouldn’t divulge any more, so he simply said, "Alright then!"
What he didn’t expect was that his quick agreent instead aroused Sun Miaohan’s suspicion.
The graceful woman before him scrutinized him from head to toe and then asked suspiciously, "You’re not agreeing so quickly just to deliberately slow your progress and avoid rescuing , are you?"
"In your dreams!" Xiao Tian replied teasingly.
Receiving a definite answer, Sun Miaohan was finally at ease, "That’s good, but let make it clear now, if you don’t co to rescue within the agreed ti, I will make sure your na is known in every corner of the world."
Such an insincere threat made Xiao Tian want to laugh, but faced with Sun Miaohan’s serious deanor, he couldn’t laugh, so he solemnly agreed.
In Xiao Tian’s view, Sun Miaohan’s words might not be completely true, but judging from her implication, when he wanted to advance his strength further, her sect was a necessary passage, so it’d be better to agree now.
In fact, he had always been intrigued by the sect Sun Miaohan and Ji Dantong kept tight-lipped about, combined with Tao Zhenghao’s previous cryptic warning and the promise made to the old man from the Northern Border Royal Family.
Adding all these elents together drove Xiao Tian to move forward.
Moreover, accepting Sun Miaohan’s seemingly absurd threat could be considered creating a connection, which was far preferable to being alone and struggling in an unfamiliar place!
"Then it’s settled!"
With these words, Sun Miaohan turned to leave without hesitation, but after taking a few steps, she paused, asking slowly yet clearly, "If we et again, would you be willing to teach once more?"
Xiao Tian laughed, "As long as you don’t behave like an unteachable blockhead as you did just now!"
This ti, surprisingly, Sun Miaohan did not retort...
