CHAPTER 16

Qin Yan's eyes were already filled with warnings as he said this. Fu Changling answered quickly, "Bundle him up. I'll bundle him up right away."

Fu Changling then pulled out the Immortal-Binding Rope on him and cautiously said to Yan Ming, "Yan Gōngzi, please don't be angry. In fact, we're both good people. We simply want to talk to you."

As he spoke, he wrapped the rope around Yan Ming, who was being pointed at by Qin Yan with his sword. He glared at Qin Yan, his unambiguous eyes blazing with rage.

Only after Fu Changling had tied the person up did Qin Yan put away his sword. He turned around and ordered Fu Changling, "Carry him back."

With that, Qin Yan took a step ahead. Fu Changling turned his head and looked at Yan Ming, whose eyes were filled with warnings, as if he was about to gnash his teeth and kill himself if he took one step closer. With a sigh, he picked up Yan Ming while explaining, "Trust me, I really am a good person. Just trust... ah!!!"

Qin Yan rented a carriage and waited outside the inn. Fu Changling used the invisibility talisman to carry Yan Ming over and throw him inside, before sitting across from Qin Yan and slowly revealing his form.

He had a significant bite mark on his hand and appeared to be in a lot of distress as he lowered his head and blew on his wound. Yan Ming was left in the corner and, this time, had his mouth tied shut as well, so he was indeed "bundled up".

While blowing on the wound, Fu Changling said, "Hiss... this lad, he's really impetuous."

At these remarks, Yan Ming's eyes were instantly filled with rage, and he came over squirming, seemingly wanting to bite again. Qin Yan raised his gaze to Fu Changling and warned, "Watch your words."

"Fine, fine, fine," Fu Changling hurriedly apologised, "I was wrong to say that. I was wrong. However, Daoyou," Fu Changling turned his head and added, "If you're going to bite someone, you must first know how to tell right from wrong. How do you usually get along in the realm of the immortals without giving others any chance to communicate? Have you survived this long without being beaten up?"

"Neither have you," Qin Yan stated matter-of-factly. Fu Changling turned to look back at Qin Yan, ready to curse, but after being met by the latter's clear, icy gaze and seeing the sword in his hand, he held his tongue and finally only said, "I'm good at communicating with others, therefore that's why!"

Also, for the most part, others really didn't dare beat him up.

Qin Yan said nothing, expressing his disagreement through his silence.

It was a bumpy carriage ride back to the Wu Mansion for the three. When they reached the Wu Mansion, Fu Changling brought Yan Ming back to the room and made him get down on his knees across the table, hands and arms trussed up securely behind his back, before the three of them sat face to face. After a long silence, Fu Changling said, "Umm, Daoyou, let me introduce us. My name is Fu Changling, and his is Qin Yan. You should be able to tell that we are both cultivators who unintentionally entered the Xuanji Secret Realm, just like you."

The most noticeable distinction between cultivators who had inadvertently entered the Xuanji Secret Realm and its original inhabitants was in their eyes. People in the Xuanji Secret Realm did not have pupils, but since all three of them clearly had black and white in their eyes, their identities were easily confirmed.

"I know," Yan Ming said, staring fixedly at them. "What exactly do you want to do?"

"We've found a way out of the secret realm, but we need this pagoda you have in your possession. If you are willing to hand it over to us, we can work together to get out of the secret realm," Fu Changling said, trying to sound gentle and calm in order to make a good impression on Yan Ming.
