Chapter 617: Chapter 620: Am’s Deep Suspicion
When Su Tang came out of the Bean Field, she casually plucked a bunch of bean pods and held them in her hand. Her little face was glowing a rosy hue, and her nose was also glistening with beads of sweat.
She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, smiling apologetically at everyone, "Sorry for the wait, all my fault. I thought I could find my way out of there even though I couldn’t see, but I ended up going in circles."
Xi’en gave a mild smile, "It’s okay, we didn’t wait for too long."
Since Xi’en didn’t mind, Yadang and the others didn’t say anything either. After all, everyone knew what Su Tang had gone off to do.
Seeing the barely contained smile on her face, it seemed like her harvest was bountiful. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Thus, Xi’en led them towards the White Flower Field, which was a little farther away.
Halfway towards the field, Xi’en slowed down his pace. He walked alongside Gaiyin, keeping pace with him.
Xi’en softly inquired, "When do you plan to leave?"
Gaiyin hummed in thought, "We have some personal matters, and need to meet some Beastmen from the Sky Fox Clan. We cannot say for sure yet."
Xi’en nodded in understanding, "All right, let me know when you’re ready to leave. I’ll figure out a way to steal the Wooden Crystal Stones."
Gaiyin didn’t probe further, offering his help instead, "Do you need a hand?"
Xi’en shook his head, "No need. Aunt Amu is very suspicious, it’s best she remains unaware of your meeting with the Sky Fox Beastmen, else she won’t let you leave easily."
Hearing this, Yadang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He was a rational being. Their current journey was specifically to acquire the Wooden Crystal Stones from the Ming Deer Clan of Xixili Flatland. After reaching the Upper Beast City, he had gradually put aside his prejudices.
At present, to him, it didn’t matter who his true family was. What mattered was living in the present and each day in the future well.
He didn’t want his personal affairs to bring trouble to everyone else. After a brief moment of contemplation, he stated, "In that case, let’s not meet them. It doesn’t matter what race I am, I am a Taoyuan Beastman and will always be one."
Yadang’s voice did not betray any emotions, but Su Tang felt a bout of melancholy.
She didn’t forget his expression when she found out in the Upper Beast City that Yadang wasn’t Keli’s cub. Despite being a strong Beastman, a glimmer of bewilderment and helplessness had flash across his face.
Su Tang tip-toed and awkwardly patted Yadang’s shoulder, "Big brother Ah, I get it. You’re just trying not to cause trouble for us, but your matters are never a bother."
Qiu Mo comforted him as well, "Indeed, we don’t consider it a bother. Don’t you want to find your family?"
Gazing into the distance, Yadang murmured softly, "What would it matter if I did find them? If they abandoned me in the past, it means they didn’t like me..."
Overhearing their conversation, Xi’en paused momentarily and asked Gaiyin quietly, "Was Yadang...?"
Gaiyin nodded in confirmation, "Mhmm."
Xi’en sighed, he initially thought Yadang’s constant manipulation by Aunt Amu was pitiful enough, but he didn’t expect someone to abandon their cub.
The mood of the group had somewhat dampened.
Anxious, Su Tang slapped Yadang’s shoulder hard again,
"Big Brother Ah, you can’t think like that. Look at how talented you are now, of course you have to find them! If they did abandon you on purpose back then, we go flaunt it in front of them, make them regret it till their last breath!"
