Chapter 5879
“What’s wrong with Senior Brother Yan Lie lately? He keeps calling me.”
After being summoned by Yan Lie again under the pretext of discussing alchemy, Huo Ling’er couldn’t help but complain to David, “He’s never been this enthusiastic before.”
David smiled faintly, “Perhaps Steward Yan really cares about the princess.”
“Come on,”
Huo Ling’er pouted, “Do you think I don’t know what he’s thinking? He’s just uncomfortable seeing me getting close to you. Humph, petty guy.”
She looked at David, a sly glint in her eyes, “But don’t be afraid of him. With me here, he wouldn’t dare do anything to you.”
“If he dares to cause you trouble again, just tell me, and I’ll have my father deal with him!”
David chuckled, “Thank you for your protection, Princess. It’s just a small matter; I can handle it.”
“You can handle it? How will you handle it?”
Huo Ling’er asked curiously. “Senior Brother Yan Lie is at the peak of the seventh rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, ranking among the top three of the younger generation in the Earth Fire Pavilion. Although you are powerful, your realm is still…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear—David was only at the first rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm on the surface, and even with extraordinary combat power, he probably wouldn’t fare well against Yan Lie at the peak of the seventh rank.
David didn’t explain, only saying, “Princess, rest assured, I know what I’m doing.”
Two more days passed, and the caravan was about to arrive at the Crimson Flame Canyon.
During a rest stop at the camp, Yan Lie appeared again. This time, he went directly to Huo Ling’er and David, who were feeding Wangcai Fire Spirit Fruit.
“Junior Sister Ling’er, Elder Yan Xin wants you to come over to discuss the specifics of entering the canyon tomorrow.” Yan Lie’s tone left no room for doubt.
Huo Ling’er frowned: “Didn’t we just discuss it? Why do we need to discuss it again?”
“The situation has changed. The elder has discovered new clues.” Yan Lie said without changing his expression.
Huo Ling’er reluctantly got up and said to David, “Then I’ll go first. You take care of Wangcai for now.”
After Huo Ling’er left, Yan Lie didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he stared coldly at David: “Didn’t you listen to what I said la
David stroked Wangcai’s mane and said calmly, “I naturally remember what Steward Yan said. But since the princess came to see me, I can’t
just turn her away, can I?” “If Steward Yan has any objections, he can simply tell
the princess and ask her not to come to see me again.” These words seemed polite, but they were actually barbed—it’s your
fault for not being able to control the princess, what does it have to do with me?
Yan Lie
‘s face darkened: “Are you provoking me?”
“I wouldn’t dare,”
David replied calmly. “I’m just stating the facts. If Steward Yan has nothing else, I’m going to take Wangcai for a walk.”
With that, he patted Wangcai’s head and turned to leave.
“Stop!”
Yan Lie shouted, a scorching and sharp aura locking onto David. “David, don’t think you can act recklessly just because the princess is protecting you. I’m warning you one last time, stay away from the princess. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?”
David stopped, slowly turning around, his eyes still calm, but a cold glint flashed deep within them. “Is Steward Yan going to make a move here? Don’t forget, our mission is to protect the princess and Elder Yan Xin as they collect the Flame Spirit Grass.”
“If personal grudges lead to internal strife, causing the mission to fail or even casualties… can Steward Yan bear that responsibility?”
Yan Lie’s breath hitched.
He truly dared not make a move here.
Firstly, he feared harming the princess or causing chaos; secondly, he worried about Elder Yanxin’s punishment.
More importantly, David’s performance during the test was too bizarre. Although he was confident of victory, he wasn’t entirely certain.
“Sharp-tongued,” Yan Lie
took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. “Fine, very well. After the mission, back at the Earth Fire Pavilion, we’ll settle the score slowly. I hope you’ll still be this tough then.”
With that, he glared fiercely at David and turned to leave.
David watched his retreating figure, shaking his head slightly.
He had seen too many people blinded by jealousy.
As long as it didn’t interfere with his search for the Earth Core Jade Marrow Milk, he wouldn’t bother with it. But if it dared to lay a hand on him… he wouldn’t mind chopping off that paw.
Beside him, Wangcai seemed to sense David’s emotions, growling softly and rubbing its head against his arm in comfort.
David smiled and patted it: “Let’s go for a walk.”
The next day, the caravan finally arrived at the edge of the Crimson Flame Canyon.
