When Ning Zhiyuan entered, Yun Tianmo had already set Ouyang Zixin down alone, leaning against the rock wall of the cave.
The Ancient Mystic Beast came in last, glanced at the two, smacked its lips, found it somewhat boring, and shook its head before going back outside.
From Ouyang Zixin's complexion, it was clear that Yun Tianmo had not taken any drastic actions against her. Such a rare opportunity, and he did not seize it properly. It was hard to understand how human men could remain so composed nowadays.
Nameless realized the Ancient Mystic Beast's thoughts and felt that the way beasts and humans think is indeed different. In such a short time, what could Cloud Young Master and his master do to truly seize this rare opportunity?
If there were a way to help them in their own space, perhaps...
"Hehe, kid, you're on the right track," the Ancient Mystic Beast said slyly to Nameless, looking serious with its clear face, but its thoughts were quite similar to his own.
"The master said that opportunities only come to those who are prepared," Nameless always held Ouyang Zixin's words in high regard, and this time was no exception.
So when the opportunity arose, it was a pity that Yun Tianmo's mind was unprepared; it could only flash by.
Being able to taste a bit of sweetness was already a good outcome.
An old man and a young one were discussing enthusiastically at the cave entrance, completely unaware of someone behind them.
It wasn't until a chill rushed in that they jumped aside in unison, clutching their chests and fearfully looking at the source of the cold air—Yun Tianmo.
They complained in perfect harmony about how fitting the title of "Ice Mountain" was. This provoked Yun Tianmo to unleash another wave of chilling aura. Fortunately, the Ancient Mystic Beast had thick fur and could withstand it, while Nameless, being a soul-like existence, shivered but managed to endure.
After a while, Liu Ying and Liu Lu helped the awakened Ouyang Zixin slowly walk out. It was unclear whether she had drunk enough water or eaten a bit of food, but her complexion looked much rosier.
Only Yun Tianmo turned his head away awkwardly upon seeing her face. He avoided looking at her because her slightly swollen red lips always managed to attract his gaze. To avoid raising suspicion, it was better not to look.
Ning Zhiyuan thought Yun Tianmo was still upset about Ouyang Zixin disrupting his plans. He chuckled and ignored him; after all, he was just an awkward person. Why bother with him? What piqued his curiosity was what had happened to Ouyang Zixin earlier.
However, for some reason, after waking up, Ouyang Zixin didn't even glance at him. This left Ning Zhiyuan puzzled; why was she ignoring him? Could it be that Yun Tianmo spoke ill of him while he was gone?
Ahem, that's unlikely. Yun Tianmo is a person of few words and would not specifically speak ill of himself.
Could it be because he washed off the mud on himself without permission?
"Xin'er Girl..." Ning Zhiyuan gestured for Liu Lvy to step aside. He was about to reach out to support Ouyang Zixin, but before he could get close, he saw her turn her head in confusion to look at him.
Hey, he had changed his appearance; no wonder she didn't recognize him.
Finding the reason, Ning Zhiyuan relaxed and chuckled lightly. Just as he prepared to tease Ouyang Zixin, her words left him speechless, unable to utter a single word.
"A Three, it takes a while to realize. Actually, the mud suits you better than this outfit." Ouyang Zixin was confused not by his disguise but by why he looked even more handsome after changing his appearance. Didn't he know what being low-key meant?
Disguise techniques are meant to make one unrecognizable; the less attention drawn, the harder it is to be identified. But looking at Ning Zhiyuan, he had turned into a handsome young man. Walking down the street, which woman wouldn't take a second glance at him? Wasn't that exposing himself to the public? For anyone observant enough, recognizing him would be an easy task.
At this moment, the words "the mud suits you better" echoed in Ning Zhiyuan's mind. Could it be that after all his grooming, he was still considered less appealing than a muddy person in Ouyang Zixin's eyes?!
That was too much of a blow!
Liu Ying and Liu Lu suppressed their laughter, keeping their heads lowered.
Ouyang Zixin didn’t think there was anything wrong with her words, let alone anything funny. She spat and finally managed to stop the two from laughing.
"Old man."
Looking at the Ancient Mystic Beast, Ouyang Zixin bowed respectfully and sincerely said, "Ouyang Zixin is unworthy to receive your..."
Before Ouyang Zixin could finish her thanks, the Ancient Mystic Beast suddenly appeared in front of her with a swift movement. Its bony hand supported her body and interrupted her with a hearty laugh: "Little Girl must be confused; I just happened to pass by. What are you doing?"
Only then did Ning Zhiyuan notice the existence of this old man; he hadn't felt his presence at all before.
This old man either had no cultivation level making him hard to notice or possessed extremely high cultivation that concealed his aura, making him difficult to detect. If Ouyang Zixin hadn't pointed him out directly, it might have taken Ning Zhiyuan a while longer to realize the old man's presence.
"Did I come when you were leaving?" Ning Zhiyuan looked at Yun Tianmo, and judging by his expression, he seemed to recognize the old man.
The Ancient Mystic Beast had transformed into a human form, known only to Ouyang Zixin, Yun Tianmo, and Nameless who were in the cave earlier. The Eye Power had not been mentioned in the Yuhai Continent for many years, and its true power was even less known.
If it weren't for Ouyang Zixin's tendency to be confused upon waking up, she would never have directly thanked Ning Zhiyuan and the two maidservants for merging with the Purple-Eyed Beast in front of them. However, since the topic had already been brought up, it couldn't just be brushed aside; after all, Ning Zhiyuan was no fool.
After giving Ning Zhiyuan a definite answer, Yun Tianmo fell silent. He did not intend to get involved in this matter. Although he was one of the informed parties, such things could not be disclosed to others, even if that person was Ning Zhiyuan.
"Xin'er Girl, why are you thanking him?" Unable to gather any information from Yun Tianmo, Ning Zhiyuan turned to ask Ouyang Zixin but was dismissed by her claiming she felt dizzy.
Meanwhile, the Ancient Mystic Beast looked at Ning Zhiyuan and then at Yun Tianmo, a glint flashing in its eyes as it chuckled. It no longer resembled a High-Level Mystic Beast that was aloof from worldly affairs but rather a cunning schemer.
"Kid, you have a rival in love," the Ancient Mystic Beast communicated telepathically with Yun Tianmo, laughing gleefully.
Yun Tianmo seemed to hear nothing and continued to stand coldly with his hands behind his back. Perhaps in the past he would have thought about it, but at this moment, he did not consider Ning Zhiyuan to be his rival.
Seeing his lack of reaction bored the Ancient Mystic Beast; such an icy demeanor truly displeased it.
Unfortunately, it did not know how much Little Purple had once cherished this cold man before her fate intertwined with Ouyang Zixin's, leading the Purple-Eyed Beast into her hands.
And thus, it missed its chance with him. (To be continued.)
