Rong Guang relayed the Nine Poisonous Yin Python's words to Xuan Yuan Xun.
Without a second thought, Xuan Yuan Xun said, "Brother Shangguan should be coming out soon!"
As soon as he spoke, Shangguan Yu Lin released his aura.
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, Brother Rong, you're out quite early!" Shangguan Yu Lin quipped.
As his last word fell, he appeared before Rong Guang and Xuan Yuan Xun.
Xuan Yuan Xun looked at the neat Shangguan Yu Lin and said, "Brother Shangguan is indeed superior! After a great battle, you show no sign of disarray. Apart from Miss Zi and the Master of Nether Abyss, only Brother Shangguan can be so composed!"
Rong Guang quickly added, "Indeed! If the Nine Poisonous Yin Python hadn't sensed the aura of a battle, I wouldn't have believed Brother Shangguan had fought a beast!"
Shangguan Yu Lin became a little embarrassed by the praise and quickly smiled, "Not at all, I merely benefited from the Vermillion Bird Feather Fan! By the way, that giant python just now…"
His doubtful gaze swept back and forth between Xuan Yuan Xun and Rong Guang.
"That's Brother Rong's new beast pet!" Xuan Yuan Xun smiled and said.
Rong Guang also humbly added, "It's all thanks to Ninth Imperial Uncle's help; otherwise, the Nine Poisonous Yin Python would have just been a pile of minced meat."
Shangguan Yu Lin cupped his hands and laughed, "Oh? Congratulations, congratulations!"
Xuan Yuan Xun smiled faintly and said, "Since Brother Shangguan is out, let's discuss what to do next!"
As he spoke, he recounted the situation he encountered at the end of the first passage on the left, and what the Nine Poisonous Yin Python had said, to Shangguan Yu Lin one by one.
Afterward, he also informed Shangguan Yu Lin of the result of his discussion with Rong Guang, and then asked, "What do you think, Brother Shangguan?"
Shangguan Yu Lin chuckled and said, "I'm a rather lazy person. Leave the thinking to you all; I have no objections!"
He was accustomed to a life where he didn't need to think when someone else was doing the thinking for him.
Unless absolutely necessary, he truly did not wish to think for himself.
Rong Guang also stated, "Since Brother Shangguan says so, Ninth Imperial Uncle, you make the decision!"
Xuan Yuan Xun pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's save time and choose the second method!" Sudan Novels Network
"Brother Rong, please release the Nine Poisonous Yin Python. We'll resolve this quickly and catch up with Miss Zi and the others!"
"Alright!"
Rong Guang responded, releasing the Nine Poisonous Yin Python again, and asked, "Which passage shall we start from?"
Xuan Yuan Xun considered and said, "Let's start from the second passage on the right!"
Rong Guang nodded and led the Nine Poisonous Yin Python to the second passage on the right.
At his signal, the Nine Poisonous Yin Python extended its head into the passage and began to sense carefully.
After a moment, the Nine Poisonous Yin Python transmitted to Rong Guang, "Master, this passage seems to have no guardian beast!"
"None?"
Rong Guang was stunned and shook his head at Xuan Yuan Xun and Shangguan Yu Lin.
"No way? Are we this lucky? We found the safe passage directly?" Shangguan Yu Lin asked in disbelief.
Xuan Yuan Xun also froze and said, "Brother Rong, ask the Nine Poisonous Yin Python, can it be sure?"
Rong Guang nodded and transmitted to the Nine Poisonous Yin Python, "Confirm it again!"
"Yes, Master!"
The Nine Poisonous Yin Python once again extended its head into the second passage on the right and sensed carefully.
After a moment, it transmitted to Rong Guang again, "Master, there are indeed no beast auras in this passage!"
Rong Guang was overjoyed and said to Xuan Yuan Xun, "There really isn't!"
Shangguan Yu Lin did not believe him and said, "Could it be that the Nine Poisonous Yin Python's perception of beasts is not sharp enough?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt two cold gazes.
The source of the gazes was none other than the Nine Poisonous Yin Python.
It was obvious that Shangguan Yu Lin's doubt about its abilities had angered it.
Xuan Yuan Xun looked at Rong Guang and said cautiously, "How about this, let the Nine Poisonous Yin Python try the third passage on the right again!"
He wasn't doubting the Nine Poisonous Yin Python's abilities, but rather, he was being cautious.
Rong Guang nodded and said to the Nine Poisonous Yin Python with some difficulty, "Let's go and check the third passage!"
Although the Nine Poisonous Yin Python was somewhat annoyed, its master had spoken, so it could not refuse.
Thus, it reluctantly followed Rong Guang to the third passage on the right, stuck its head in, and reported, with a huff, "There is a Glazed Fire Lion Beast in this passage!"
Rong Guang soothed it for a moment before conveying the result to Xuan Yuan Xun and Shangguan Yu Lin.
Shangguan Yu Lin was now finally convinced of the Nine Poisonous Yin Python's abilities and said to Rong Guang rather apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood your beast pet!"
Rong Guang smiled and said, "What are you saying! We are brothers, why talk about apologies!"
Xuan Yuan Xun also said apologetically, "Brother Rong, your beast pet is also our companion. Although it was not wrong for this King to be cautious, it also shows that this King does not have enough trust in his companions. Therefore, this King should also apologize!"
The Nine Poisonous Yin Python could already understand human language, and hearing the two apologize, its anger slowly dissipated.
Rong Guang, as its master, could naturally sense its mood. Therefore, he also said to the Nine Poisonous Yin Python, "I should also apologize to you, because I did not stand by you when others doubted your abilities."
His words caused the last trace of anger in the Nine Poisonous Yin Python's heart to vanish without a trace.
"Master, it's alright. We just formed a contract, and there are many things we need to work out together!"
Rong Guang smiled reassuringly and vowed, "I swear, I will never doubt you again!"
The Nine Poisonous Yin Python was quite touched upon hearing this, "Master..."
After Rong Guang had comforted the Nine Poisonous Yin Python, he turned to Xuan Yuan Xun and Shangguan Yu Lin and said, "Ninth Imperial Uncle, Brother Shangguan, we have come this far together, and we share a common goal. Although we are not related by blood, we are brothers by circumstance. Why should we concern ourselves with flesh and blood! Therefore, there is no need for apologies between us!"
"..."
Xuan Yuan Xun and Shangguan Yu Lin wanted to say something more, but Rong Guang's next words stopped them.
"Since the Nine Poisonous Yin Python has found the safe passage, let's set off quickly! Although the Guild Leader is powerful and has Boss Shen accompanying her, I still can't help but worry about her!"
"Therefore, saying anything now is meaningless. Catching up with the Guild Leader and Boss Shen's footsteps as soon as possible is the most important thing right now!"
Xuan Yuan Xun and Shangguan Yu Lin exchanged a look and nodded in unison, "Good brothers, let's go!"
"Let's go!"
Rong Guang echoed in agreement.
The three of them exchanged smiles and soared into the second passage on the right.
