Chapter 649: Chapter 652: Chiyan Got Caught
When the three came down again, a clear smile was plastered on Suo Long and Xi’en’s faces.
Su Tang took a careful look and saw that Yadang also seemed a bit more at ease.
Next, they all returned to Suo Long’s cave together.
However, when they reached the cave entrance, as Su Tang and the others were about to enter, Xi’en stopped them.
He smiled slightly and said, "The scenery of the Sky Fox Clan’s territory is quite impressive. How about I take you all around?"
Su Tang realized that he was trying to give the family of three some private time to talk and be together.
Everyone understood the hint, and so they used this as an excuse to follow Xi’en and leave, despite the embarrassed look on Yadang’s face.

Xi’en was in a good mood as he guided them around the Sky Fox Clan territory, occasionally offering tidbits of information.
This was the old tribal land of the Sky Fox Clan, inhabited by elder female beastmen.
Compared to the West Ming Deer Clan territory they visited before, this place was much quieter, and the environment was top-notch.
As it was nearing noon and the sun was getting hot, the group was looking for a shady spot to rest.
Just then, a frantic beastman came running from afar. "Chieftain, it’s terrible! Chiyan has been captured by Beastmen from the West Ming Deer Clan!"
Xi’en immediately stood up. "What happened?!"
The beastman, panting heavily, said, "I heard...I heard it was because of Lu Yu..."
Xi’en’s expression darkened instantly. "He’s itching for a beating! That damn fox cub, just wait and see how I deal with him!"
As he spoke, Xi’en followed the beastman and left. After taking a few steps, he remembered Su Tang and the others and turned back apologetically.
"Sorry, I have some matters to attend to. I’ll come to apologize to you all when I’m done!"
After Xi’en left, Su Tang and the others exchanged glances.
Su Tang suggested, "Why don’t we go and see too? Chiyan was captured by West Ming Deer Clan because of Lu Yu. He didn’t...infringe on someone and caused a commotion, did he?"
Qiu Mo looked confused. "Infringe what?"
"Nothing. We’ll know if we just go and see."
Qiu Mo agreed.
Gaiyin and Xi Ye had no objections either.
So, the group stealthily followed behind Xi’en and left the place.
They passed the canyon cave, and because they were worried about Xi’en’s injuries, they didn’t notify him.
When they arrived, the entire area was surrounded by several layers of beastmen, blocking their view.
Su Tang was scratching her head anxiously when Gaiyin leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Hold onto me!"
Su Tang’s brain hadn’t caught up, but her body automatically held onto Gaiyin.
Then, a dizzying sensation overcame them, and they found themselves standing on a thick tree trunk.
At this moment, Qiu Mo and Xi Ye were standing securely on a neighboring fork of the tree.
Su Tang lay low against the tree trunk, peering through the gaps in the leaves to get a look at the situation down below.
Chiyan was bound and thrown onto an empty space. The Ming Deer Clan leader, Saint Ya, sat on a large stone with a gloomy expression. Lu Yu stood to her side, head down, looking equally grim.
Xi’en had arrived in a hurry and hadn’t brought many reinforcements.
He glanced at the bound Chiyan and noticed no visible wounds, which eased his expression.
"What is the meaning of this, Ming Deer Tribal Chief? What wrong did Ayan commit to warrant such treatment?"
