Chapter 668: Chapter 671: Preparing to Leave
The next day.
The group once again arrived at the Sky Fox Clan.
After some mental preparation, Yadang proposed the idea of letting Suo Long and Jin Se stay in Peach Blossom Land for a while.
The others were also prepared to enthusiastically persuade them, the persuasive points about the virtues of Peach Blossom Land were already on the tips of their tongues, but as soon as Yadang mentioned it, Jin Se agreed.
She even eagerly asked Yadang, "When do we set off?"
Yadang paused, quickly catching on, "I can’t accompany you to Peach Blossom Land, we still have other matters in the Kingdom to attend to. After those are taken care of, I’ll return."
Jin Se appeared somewhat disappointed, "I see...Alright, then your father and I will wait for you in Peach Blossom Land, okay?"
A hint of unnatural blushing appeared on Yadang’s face. He nodded, "...Alright..."
Then, Gaiyin brought out a map, which was hastily drawn by Su Tang the previous night. It marked the way from their current location to Peach Blossom Land.
Yadang took the map, explained it to Suo Long, then rolled it back up and handed it to Suo Long.
"Keep the map. You can set off whenever you’re ready. Once you’ve arrived at Peach Blossom Land, just give the map to Ye Qiao, the partner of the leader of the White Tiger Clan, and mention my name. She’ll arrange everything for you and you can approach her if you need anything afterward."
Suo Long took the beast skin map but glanced at Yadang in surprise. "Did you just say, the leader of the White Tiger Clan’s partner? Does Peach Blossom Land belong to the White Tiger Clan?"
Jin Se also held the same curiosity, her ears perked up, listening attentively.
Yadang glanced at Gaiyin and the others without making a sound. Seeing that they did not oppose, he decided to reveal their true identities to them. Otherwise, they would find out once they reached Peach Blossom Land anyway.
"It’s a long story. Peach Blossom Land is a beautiful place just like the Xixili flatland, inhabited by many beast men tribes, including the White Tiger Clan, Mermaid Clan, and others...
This is Gaiyin, the chieftain of Peach Blossom Land. The chieftain of the White Tiger clan is his father figure. This is Su Tang, the Holy Lady of Peach Blossom Land, and these are Xi and Qiu Mo, both are Mermaid Beastmen. I am fortunate enough to have been taken under Peach Blossom Land’s consideration and am serving as its Priest."
Yadang tried to explain the current situation of Peach Blossom Land using the most straightforward language.
Finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed, wondering if they would think he was showing off?
He plucked up the courage to look at Suo Long.
Surprisingly, he saw a hint of relief in the other’s eyes.
Suo Long’s eyes were slightly moist, he firmly patted Yadang’s shoulder, "Good! Very good!"
Yadang didn’t respond, he quietly watched Suo Long.
The look in Suo Long’s eyes was complicated, filled with heartache, relief, pride... a mix of various emotions. He had so many things he wanted to say, but when it came to speaking, he could not voice a single word.
Minutely stroking the map in his hand, Suo Long suddenly asked, "When do you plan to leave?"
Yadang took a deep breath, "Tonight."
Upon hearing this, Jin Se immediately become restless, "How can it be so soon?"
Becoming flustered, Jin Se even tripped a little and almost fell.
Qiu Mo swiftly supported her, "Be careful, aunty!"
"Thank you," Jin Se managed a weak smile.
Yadang hurriedly rushed over, helped Jin Se sit down,"We’ve been here for quite some time, we cannot delay any further. The sooner we settle things, the sooner we can return to Peach Blossom Land. Don’t you want to wait for me there?"
