Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 1010 - 297: [Spoiled Brat]

Until Chen Yan finished throwing the towel and wiping his face, he stood up and, without turning back, directly jumped over the creek and left with large strides.

He just left like that?!

He just left me here and walked away?!

Yun Zhao was dumbfounded!

·

Chen Yan deliberately walked very slowly, stepping over the creek, moving forward step by step, and walking into the forest on the opposite side of the creek.

After walking about a hundred steps, he stopped, grabbed himself and looked back.

About ten meters behind, Yun Zhao followed with his head down, looking aggrieved, with drooping eyebrows and a downcast look.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and sneered, "Why not go and watch the excitement anymore?"

Yun Zhao stood there, staring at his toes, his fingers pinched his clothes and rubbed them vigorously, blushing and refusing to speak.

Chen Yan slowly walked over and stood in front of Yun Zhao: "Why aren’t you speaking? Didn’t you say you don’t care about anything?"

"...I’m sorry."

Yun Zhao suddenly spoke softly, but the voice was as low as a mosquito’s hum.

"..." Chen Yan was also a bit surprised, but he suppressed his surprised expression, still keeping a cold face and said, "What did you say? I can’t hear you!"

Yun Zhao raised his head, eyes somewhat guilty, but whispered, "I said, I’m sorry."

He took a deep breath, lowered his head again, not daring to meet Chen Yan’s gaze, but continued to speak, "I... I know what you said earlier, though harsh, but it was actually for my own good.

It’s me who’s been absurd in my actions, it’s me..."

Chen Yan snorted but didn’t say anything.

Yun Zhao gave a bitter smile, "I... I may have been spoiled. But I’m not a fool; I can tell the difference between good advice and flattery."

Saying this, he seemed to muster up his courage, stood up straight, then cupped his hands at Chen Yan and bowed deeply, "Junior Brother Shanhe, although you scolded me, you spoke from the heart. You truly treat me as a friend!

It was me being muddleheaded earlier; I apologize to you here."

With this bow, he didn’t get up, just waited for Chen Yan to speak.

After a while, feeling anxious, Yun Zhao finally heard Chen Yan sigh lightly.

"We’ll stay here tonight; I’ll find a sheltered spot."

Hearing this, Yun Zhao was overjoyed and got up to look at Chen Yan, "Junior Brother, so you’re not angry with me anymore?"

Chen Yan sighed, and Yun Zhao had already walked over, chuckling, "Looking for a sheltered spot, right? I’m the best at this; after all, I’ve lived in the mountains for decades. I’ll go find one!"

Watching Yun Zhao leave to busy himself, the coldness on Chen Yan’s face finally faded.

Although this guy is indeed spoiled like a child, his nature is still good.

At least, he knows right from wrong and can understand people’s words.

·

By now, it was growing dark.

Sure enough, Yun Zhao found a sheltered place nearby, under a big tree on the hillside.

Chen Yan made a fire and cooked some hot food.

Yun Zhao quietly tended the fire, then proactively chatted with Chen Yan, seeing that Chen Yan wasn’t really angry, he gradually felt at ease.

However, after they finished eating, Yun Zhao cautiously spoke up, "Brother, I... I still want to go back and take a look."

Chen Yan looked up, and Yun Zhao quickly waved his hand, "I’m not curious to see any excitement!

It’s just... Liang has been gone for so long and hasn’t returned, I’m really not at ease.

If, if he encountered any danger, I could... at least provide some support."

That reasoning was sound, much better than a curious kid running into danger to join in the fun.

"You have the right intentions." Chen Yan nodded, "But providing support doesn’t mean recklessly rushing back.

Moreover... Liang’s cultivation is far above ours; if he faces a dangerous opponent, rushing in won’t help us.

I suspect knowing Liang’s temperament, if he encountered tricky issues, he wouldn’t make a fuss and wouldn’t come looking for us — just because what he cares about most is your safety!

Thus, I guess from Liang’s actions, since he hasn’t come to find us, he’s likely met some trouble or a difficult opponent, some tricky danger.

But Liang certainly led them far away intentionally!"

Yun Zhao’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes, yes, you’re right, Brother! Liang cares most about my safety; if he encountered a strong foe, he would definitely lead them far away, the farther from me, the better..."

However, saying this, he still felt anxious, "But I can’t really leave him alone, running away without a care, can I? That would be too heartless."

Yun Zhao said softly, "I’ll just go back to take a look, I won’t cause any trouble, and even if Liang faces danger, going back and not finding him, at least I can find some clues, and if I go back to seek help, I’d at least have some direction, not knowing what to say or do nothing."

Chen Yan finally nodded, "If Liang distracted them, we wouldn’t be in danger going back.

What you say makes sense, going back, even if we find some clues and hints, it’s beneficial."

Speaking of this, Chen Yan thought for a moment, "Let’s rest for a night, and at dawn tomorrow, I’ll go back with you."

Resting for a night before going back, even if there’s any strong enemy or danger, they wouldn’t stay in place waiting for us, making it safer to go then.

The next day early morning, before dawn, Chen Yan and Yun Zhao started their way back.
