The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 71

The surprise and astonishment of the two and the dragon seemed insignificant compared to Su Yu's calm demeanor. She maintained her squatting position and, seeing that Yun Xuan had not yet come up, gave a subtle signal with her eyes.

Her demeanor was so unremarkable that Yun Xuan, who was gazing at her, was deeply impacted. Although Yun Xuan understood that Su Yu had seen her true form and recognized her identity, the gesture left a significant impression on her, leading to an indescribable feeling of awkwardness.

She no longer insisted on standing, knowing that Meng Zhou's injuries could not be delayed.

Su Yu stood up steadily and carried Yun Xuan on her back, while Yu Chen picked up Meng Zhou and they quickly left the area on their swords.

Once outside, Xu Mushan's gaze fell on Su Yu and Yun Xuan. He looked at them with disbelief, opened his mouth to speak, but ultimately said nothing and turned away, no longer looking at them.

Yu Chen glanced at him. Although the Immortal Sect and the Dragon Clan were at odds, Yun Xuan was already Meng Zhou's spirit beast. Xu Mushan had no justification for attacking her. Moreover, in the end, it was Meng Zhou who was injured.

"Miss Meng, here are some spirit pills and a healing ointment made by my master. They are very effective. I know you also have healing medicine, but we acted recklessly and accidentally injured you. I sincerely apologize. I hope you can accept it despite our previous actions."

Meng Zhou looked somewhat dejected and took one of the spirit pills from her belongings but did not accept Yu Chen's medicine.

Yu Chen glanced at Su Yu but said nothing, merely standing silently beside her.

After taking the spirit pill, Meng Zhou felt somewhat better and bowed slightly to Yu Chen and Su Yu. "You have saved both Yun Xuan and me, which is a great favor. How could I say 'sorry'? I will not take the spirit pill, but I have heard of this Purple Jade Ointment. It's a renowned healing medicine developed by the Immortal Lord Zitan. Yun Xuan is seriously injured, so I will shamelessly accept this ointment."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen handed over the ointment. "Kindness is kindness, and mistakes are mistakes. Since we were at fault, it is only right to treat your wounds."

Meng Zhou's face softened slightly, and she glanced at Yun Xuan. "Even though you injured me, your intended target was her. If you want to make amends, you should apologize to her."

Xu Mushan's attitude was quite sincere, but when he heard he had to apologize to Yun Xuan, his expression changed. He started to speak, "She is your spirit beast..."

"Junior Brother Xu!" Su Yu cut off Xu Mushan's words, but the two words were still clearly heard by Meng Zhou and Yun Xuan.

Yun Xuan was already applying medicine to Meng Zhou and did not pause, as if it was of little importance, but Meng Zhou's face suddenly grew cold. "Take your inner dan and leave! Meng Zhou will remember today's events clearly and will certainly have a word with Young Master Xu sooner or later."

Xu Mushan's expression changed, looking somewhat bewildered. "What did I say wrong..."

Su Yu, fearing Xu Mushan would speak indiscreetly again, and Yu Chen, sensing the delicate atmosphere between Meng Zhou and Yun Xuan, realized she was very sensitive to others' disrespect towards Yun Xuan. Therefore, Yu Chen decisively used a silencing spell, rendering Xu Mushan mute.

Yu Chen glanced at him. "Calm down and avoid further conflict."

Xu Mushan closed his mouth and turned to leave. As he left, he tossed the inner dan to Su Yu and walked away without looking back.
