What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)

Chapter 87: Foolish Individuals

At the edge of the cliff, Xiao Yixian gently stroked Xiao Lan while looking at Xiao Yan, who had his hands clasped together in a sincere gesture, paying his respects to the row of makeshift graves in front of him. She was speechless.

The graves contained the bodies of the mercenaries that Xiao Yan had killed in the cave, and Xiao Yan had personally dug the pits.

You killed them, and then you personally buried them, even taking the time to pay your respects at the graves. If someone didnt know better, they would think you were some benevolent passerby, even though you didnt even leave them with their heads.

Xiao Yixian internally ridiculed the situation, but for some reason, she found it strangely normal when it came to Xiao Yans actions.

Is my brain malfunctioning as well?

Xiao Yixian massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. Honestly, she would probably only encounter someone as peculiar as Xiao Yan once in her lifetime.

After the tribute, Xiao Yan turned around, and Xiao Yixian hugged her arms, looking at him with helplessness.

They were planning to kill you earlier, and yet you kindly made gravestones for them.

The mistakes they made in their lives dont need to follow them in death.

Xiao Yan glanced at the row of graves, speaking in such a manner that left Xiao Yixian completely speechless.

Well, youre righteous. I can never do that.

So, where are you going next?

Xiao Yixian asked, and Xiao Yan took out the map that Boss Yao had given him from his pocket.

I need to gather the medicinal herbs that Boss Yao entrusted to me. There are patients in need of them.

Alright, lets go. Ill take you there.

Xiao Yixian casually flicked her head, indicating for Xiao Yan to join her on Xiao Lan.

After their recent interaction, Xiao Yixian fully believed in Xiao Yans words. He truly accepted Boss Yaos deal to gather medicinal herbs in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, and it wasnt just an excuse to protect himself.

Xiao Yixian was convinced that if even someone like Xiao Yan would lie, then the word honesty wouldnt exist on this continent.

Is it just the two of us? Xiao Yan furrowed his brow slightly at Xiao Yixians words. Wont it be too dangerous with all the second-tier Magical Beasts around?

Xiao Yixian narrowed her eyes and stared at Xiao Yan.

Alright

This guys brain really doesnt function properly. He actually thinks those second-tier Magical Beasts would be a trouble for him.

Xiao Yixian didnt bother explaining. She pulled Xiao Yan onto Xiao Lan.

Lets go first.

With that, Xiao Lan took off again, and Xiao Yixian commanded their flight towards the location of the medicinal herbs based on the map.

After a few minutes, Xiao Yixian saw that they were getting close. She gently patted Xiao Lans head, signaling for it to land. Once Xiao Lan landed steadily, Xiao Yixian pointed ahead and said to Xiao Yan.

Youll be able to see the medicinal herbs if you go straight ahead. There are second-tier Magical Beasts in the vicinity, so its not convenient for us to go there. Xiao Lan and I will wait here for you.

It wasnt that Xiao Yixian was genuinely afraid of danger. If Xiao Yan were truly just an ordinary fighter who couldnt handle second-tier Magical Beasts, Xiao Yixian would find a way to assist him in obtaining the medicinal herbs. Even if they couldnt defeat the Magical Beasts, they could still retrieve the herbs together and then escape.

However, knowing Xiao Yans true strength, Xiao Yixian didnt want to overthink it anymore. Going there with him would only complicate things.

Okay.

Upon hearing Xiao Yixians words, Xiao Yan nodded lightly. Naturally, he wouldnt insist on having Xiao Yixian assist him.

This is a deal that he accepted on his own, and he hopes to complete it by himself without involving others.

Xiao Yans body tensed up as he cautiously walked towards the direction pointed out by Xiao Yixian.

Watching Xiao Yans figure disappearing into the jungle, Xiao Yixian let out a sigh and rested her head on Xiao Lans head, looking ahead helplessly.

Really, how can there be such a foolish person in the world?

Xiao Yixian sighed inwardly. In her eyes, Xiao Yan was foolish in every aspect.

She was genuinely curious about what kind of family could cultivate such a person. It may not be a thousand years, but it was at least a rare occurrence in a hundred years.

If it were him, he probably wouldnt care about his physique.

Perhaps we could really become friends

Xiao Yixian lowered her head, lost in her thoughts.

Suddenly, a few wolf howls came from the front of the forest, interrupting Xiao Yixians thoughts. She stared intently in the direction where Xiao Yan had left.

Although she knew deep down that with Xiao Yans strength, second-tier Magical Beasts posed no threat to him, Xiao Yixian couldnt help but feel worried.

He was such an upright person, and she doubted she would meet anyone like him again. What if something unexpected happened

Xiao Yixian frowned in concern. The wolf howls in the front gradually ceased, leaving her feeling a bit anxious.

Its better to be safe than sorry.

Although Xiao Yixian would never become as righteous as Xiao Yan, it didnt mean that she would willingly let something happen to him.

Immediately, Xiao Yixian made up her mind and lightly tapped Xiao Lans head.

Xiao Lan, lets go over there

Before Xiao Yixian could finish her sentence, a sound came from the front of the forest. Xiao Yixian suddenly focused her gaze, staring at the direction where the sound came from.

After a while, Xiao Yans familiar figure slowly appeared within Xiao Yixians line of sight, and Xiao Yixian let out a deep sigh of relief.

Indeed, her worries were unnecessary.

With Xiao Yans strength, he could easily handle second-tier Magical Beasts, let alone third-tier ones.

Did you get it?

Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Yan and asked softly. Xiao Yan nodded, his expression relaxed.

Yes, I got it. It wasnt too difficult. Xiao Yan scratched his face casually. But there werent any second-tier Magical Beasts around the medicinal herbs, just some little wolf cubs. It wasnt as challenging as Boss Yao described.

Xiao Yixian was once again speechless.

She had heard the wolf howls clearly just now. They were undoubtedly the howls of second-tier Magical Beasts, the Gold Devouring Wolves. Moreover, Gold Devouring Wolves were social creatures, with each pack consisting of at least ten members.

In other words, Xiao Yan managed to retrieve the medicinal herbs calmly despite facing at least ten second-tier Magical Beasts. Not to mention getting injured, even his clothes only had a few wrinkles.

Sigh

Xiao Yixian sighed heavily, resting her head on Xiao Lans head, looking at Xiao Yan with a mixture of emotions. This left Xiao Yan raising an eyebrow in confusion.

Whats wrong? Why the sudden sigh?

Its nothing, dont mind me. Xiao Yixian waved her hand lightly, propping her chin with her fair wrist. She spoke in a calm tone, Its just that for the first time, I realized that the stupidity of certain individuals can truly exceed ones imagination.

Certain individuals? Are you referring to Mu Li and the others?

Xiao Yan was puzzled, his initial reaction was Mu Li and the mercenaries he buried.

If it were only them, it would be fine, Xiao Yixian shrugged, Im talking about individuals even more foolish than them.

Foolish to the point of being maddening~

Xiao Yixian said this, and in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Yan, an unconscious gentle smile appeared.

That person who was so foolish would never know in this lifetime who she was referring to.
