Yuan Tianwen frowned and said, “Why are you always picking on Yuran? When did he ever offend you?”
Duan Yuyang rolled his eyes and said with disdain, “He has an inauspicious face, and honourable me can’t stand seeing every part of him from his head to his toes — just this alone is enough for him to have offended me. If you can’t bear to see me roll my eyes at your fiance, then take him with you and get lost.”
Yuan Tianwen had intended to suppress the rage in his heart, but when he saw Duan Yuyang mock his sweetheart like this, he flew into a rage, “Duan Yuyang, if it wasn’t because my Dad forced me to bring you along with me to Profound Sky Sect to meet him, did you really think that I would have been willing to take you along with us?”
Duan Yuyang lifted his chin up so high it almost reached the sky. His nostrils faced Yuan Tianwen as he said, “Then hurry and get lost, you think honourable me actually wants to travel there with you?”
“Then you can go by yourself.” Han Yuran ended the conversation coldly, then looked at Yuan Tianwen with a long face and said, “Tianwen Ge, you’ve heard what he said, he doesn’t know what’s good for him at all. If we continue travelling with him, you wouldn’t know what else might happen.”
When Duan Yuyang heard his words, he immediately smiled mischievously and said, “Aiya, since Han young master doesn’t want to see me, then I should really tag along with you guys. When you’re unhappy, I’m happy, hehehehehe.”
Han Yuran fumed, “Shameless!”
Duan Yuyang grinned as he said, “Bite me bite me~ If you’re so capable, why not come over and hit me? O that’s right, you’re a craftsman, so you’re probably no match for me anyway. Just throwing any one of my magic treasures at you will be more than enough to smash you to death.”
Yuan Tianwen’s expression had turned rather stern as well. When he went to pay the Duan family a visit, Duan Yuyang’s mother had talked to him about Duan Yuyang’s improper conduct in the past couple of years. At first, he had thought that this Didi of his who would always sweetly call him Gege and follow him around everywhere when they were younger was being bad mouthed by his stepmother. Thus, he had felt some pity for him, as well as guilt from rejecting his proposal.
But he didn’t expect Duan Yuyang to really be such a crude guy who completely lacked any manner or poise.
His Dad will be going to Profound Sky Sect soon to settle some matters and wanted to see Duan Yuyang while he was there. So, his Dad had asked him to bring Duan Yuyang along with Han Yuran. If it wasn’t for his Dad’s request, Yuan Tianwen definitely wouldn’t have wanted to contact Duan Yuyang.
Duan Yuyang obviously doesn’t like him, but for some reason, he still agreed to go meet Su Mo.
Lin Xuanzhi had had enough of this farce, so he helped to smooth things over, “Everyone, Jiadi and I are on our way to Profound Sky Sect right now. Since you guys are going to Profound Sky Sect too, then we may as well go together.”
Yuan Tianwen took a deep breath and suppressed his annoyance, then said to Lin Xuanzhi, “Sorry for making a fool of ourselves.”
Yan Tianhen nodded and laughed, “It is indeed quite funny. My Dage had just annulled his engagement with him a few days ago, yet he had already found another fiance. But, I think the bracelet on his wrist is a gift from my Dage ba?”
Han Yuran’s face stiffened, and suddenly felt like the bracelet on his wrist weighed a ton. He withdrew his hand that wasn’t covered by his sleeve and said, “If you want it back, you can just say so.”
Lin Xuanzhi casted a glance at Yan Tianhen and said, “Ah Hen, be polite.”
Yan Tianhen blinked and said, “I’m already quite polite. Also, would that bracelet suddenly not be a gift from Dage if I were a little more polite?”
“Tsktsk.” Duan Yuyang clicked his tongue and shook his head, then said, “Unexpectedly, someone’s taking advantage of your generosity ah.”
“Enough!” Han Yuran took off the bracelet on his wrist and threw it at Lin Xuanzhi, then said, “Who cares about that kind of item.”
Lin Xuanzhi raised his hand and caught the bracelet.

Han Yuran had asked him for it, and Lin Xuanzhi thought that it was worth it to keep the engagement that Lin Zhan had arranged for him, so he generously gave it to Han Yuran.
This could be considered as one of the most valuable gifts that Lin Xuanzhi had given Han Yuran.
Lin Xuanzhi played around with the bracelet, then asked the Yan Tianhen who was standing beside him, “Ah Hen, do you like this?”
Yan Tianhen nodded, “I like it.”
Lin Xuanzhi pulled over one of Yan Tianhen’s hands, then helped him wear the bracelet and said, “Since Ah Hen likes it, then I’ll give this Sun Moon Cloud Bracelet to you.”
Yan Tianhen was stunned, then said happily, “Thank you Dage!”
Han Yuran bit on his lower lip as he looked at the bracelet that had belonged to him hang on that ugly idiot Yan Tianhen’s wrist. He instantly felt short of breath and his heart ached so badly he wanted to die.
That bracelet, even someone who couldn’t recognise value would know that it was a treasure that couldn’t be measured by money. It was a magic treasure that could save your life!
Yuan Tianwen felt inexplicably distressed. He felt like he had just lost face because Han Yuran was still carrying around Lin Xuanzhi’s gifts while he was out with him, and this fact was even pointed out by someone who accompanied Lin Xuanzhi. He said, “It’s getting late, we should get going.”
Duan Yuyang said, “I don’t want to ride that stupid crane with them, I want to ride a horse!”
Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes swept over Duan Yuyang, then said to Yan Tianhen, “Let’s ride one horse together while we leave the other for Duan young master, how’s that?
When Yan Tianhen heard this, he muttered in his heart: there were only two horses, if they were to give one to Duan Yuyang, then he would be able to ride the other one with his Dage for the entire journey.
Why would Yan Tianhen disagree? He generously offered Duan Yuyang his smaller Chasing Sun horse.
Duan Yuyang raised his eyebrow, then confidently jumped onto the horse and said, “Thanks for the generosity. Lin Xuanzhi, honourable me has decided to take back my previous evaluation of you. You’ve made great progress within such a short amount of time; honourable me will definitely befriend someone like you!”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled as he nodded and said, “Same here.”
“As for the two of you, honourable me can’t be bothered to keep your irksome presences in my sight. Let’s go our separate ways and never meet again.”
When Duan Yuyang finished, he called out a “jia” and his Chasing Sun horse rushed forward like a gust of wind.
The penta-coloured crane who was playing catch with Ah Bai saw Duan Yuyang run off on another horse. It was so angry that it started to quack very loudly, and was ready to rush forward to catch him with one flap of its wings.
Ah Bai followed along behind Chi Xiao and suddenly jumped onto its back.
This time, Chi Xiao couldn’t be bothered with him. It could only think about Duan Yuyang right now.
“Chi Xiao!” Yuan Tianwen called out.
The penta-coloured crane anxiously flapped its wings and kept quacking at Yuan Tianwen, but no one knew what it was trying to say.
Chi Xiao, “Chirp chirp chirp quack quack quack zhi zhi zhi!”
Yuan Tianwen, “…” It’s a pity that he’s not his dad, so he couldn’t understand what Chi Xiao was saying.
But even his dad may not be able to understand the words of a demonic beast in its infant stage. After all, infant stage demonic beasts aren’t very good at expressing what they truly think.
Han Yuran stretched his hand out to touch Chi Xiao’s head, yet Chi Xiao ruthlessly pecked him. If it wasn’t because Yuan Tianwen chided Chi Xiao and asked it to back off, Han Yuran’s hand might have been bitten off entirely.
Han Yuran fearfully hid behind Yuan Tianwen. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the receding figure of Duan Yuyang who was urging his horse forward with a whip, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Yet, Lin Xuanzhi’s beautiful eyes twinkled as his wisdom and prescience was revealed.
All demonic beasts are spiritual. Based on Chi Xiao’s age, it should be a rather high-level infant beast. Even though it couldn’t speak, its actions had already illustrated a few problems.
For instance, Chi Xiao likes Duan Yuyang a lot.
And also, that Chi Xiao doesn’t like Han Yuran.
Even though the reason for this needed to be explored further carefully, one could see the signs of future enmity between Yuan Tianwen and Han Yuran from how Chi Xiao is acting now.
Yuan Tianwen looked at Lin Xuanzhi, took his leave, then called his penta-coloured crane over to resume their journey.
After Yuan Tianwen and Han Yuran rode Chi Xiao and took to the skies, Lin Xuanzhi withdrew his gaze and held his hand out to Yan Tianhen and said, “Ah Hen, let’s go too.”
Yan Tianhen nodded. He held Lin Xuanzhi’s hand and was pulled by the latter to sit in front of him on the horse.
As such, Yan Tianhen was basically sitting in the midst of Lin Xuanzhi’s embrace. Even though a Chasing Sun horse isn’t very big, it was famous for how light-footed and agile it is. Luckily, Yan Tianhen had a short and slender stature, so it didn’t seem out of place for him to be in Lin Xuanzhi’s embrace. The Chasing Sun horse neighed, then spread out its four hooves and ran ahead at lightning speed.
Yuan Tianwen looked down from the back of his penta-coloured crane and saw two Chasing Sun horses running side by side in the wilderness. They looked so carefree and unrestrained that others couldn’t help but admire this sight.
Yet, Han Yuran had been wearing a frosty look on his face ever since they left. His heart was still aching for his Sun Moon Cloud Bracelet.
He thought to himself that he seen through Lin Xuanzhi’s true nature — he’s such a miser! He was actually shameless enough to demand for a present that was already given out. Originally, he had thought that Lin Xuanzhi would’ve refused to take back the bracelet.
Also, that ugly idiot is even stranger — he would actually pick up other people’s second-hand goods for his own use! One look and you can tell that he’s an ugly idiot whom you can’t be seen with in public, can’t he consider his own status first before thinking about whether or not he was fit to wear such a good bracelet!
Han Yuran was in the middle of gnashing his teeth in his heart when he suddenly heard Yuan Tianwen say, “Throw away all of the items that Lin Xuanzhi had given you.”
Han Yuran was shocked and quickly suppressed the words “why should I” that he had almost blurted out, then said, “Those magic treasures are of great use to me. Most of his gifts are magic treasures that have defensive functions. I’m a craftsman, my combat ability naturally can’t be compared to the other cultivators so I need those magic treasures to safeguard myself.”
Yuan Tianwen was sitting in front of Han Yuran, and when he heard these words, he turned back and stared at Han Yuran with a profound look in his eyes. Then he said, “The defensive tools I gave you naturally wouldn’t be worse than his. Also, after we meet my Dad and Father, they will definitely find a way to ensure your safety. Profound Sky Sect will guard you as well, no one will let you get bullied.”
“If that’s the case, then I guess I’m the one who’s thinking too much.” Han Yuran sighed in his heart, then put on a faint smile as he said, “I had originally intended to keep a few of the items that he had given me as souvenirs, but since Tianwen Ge doesn’t like them, I’ll just throw them all away ba.”
“Un.” Yuan Tianwen turned back and continued to look forward.
Yuan Tianwen’s words had turned all of Han Yuran’s worries into joy. He did have the intention of letting Yuan Tianwen see that bracelet, then wait for Yuan Tianwen to ask him about the bracelet’s origins.
After all, a person favoured by the heavens like Yuan Tianwen who had strong possessive tendencies definitely wouldn’t allow his sweetheart to keep gifts from his ex-fiance.
By then, he just needed to act a bit coquettish and say some words before Yuan Tianwen would willingly give him more and better magic treasures.
His main goal had been achieved, but, Han Yuran was still upset about his Sun Moon Cloud Bracelet.
What horrendous luck he must have to actually meet Lin Xuanzhi the moment they left the city gates.
After awhile, Han Yuran suddenly realised that they had always been able to see the two horses and one man on the ground, and couldn’t help but furrows his eyebrows and say, “Tianwen Ge, why must we follow them?”
WIth the speed of this penta-coloured crane, they were definitely able to leave those two horses in the dust.
Yuan Tianwen lightly said, “Since I had already promised Dad to escort Duan Yuyang to Profound Sky Sect, I won’t go back on my words.”
Han Yuran scoffed in his heart and said, “Duan Yuyang may not necessarily appreciate your efforts, also, isn’t he interested in you?”
“How can that be.” Yuan Tianwen said.
“Why not?” Han Yuran sneered and said, “He hates me and often causes trouble for me, isn’t he doing all that because of you?”
“Don’t overthink it.” Yuan Tianwen said, “He doesn’t give me any face when he sees me either.”
“I would hope so.” Han Yuran said.
Yuan Tianwen might have said all that on the surface, but he had other thoughts in his heart.
T/N: I finally started on the glossary page, but as of now it only contains the different levels of cultivations and such because coughimlazycough. You can find it on the project page of RSCB but I’ll add a link here too
It seems that even CX has more brain than YT, which can not recognize the false scum although it has it near.
Thanks for the chapter! 💕💕💕
The moment where pets have more brain than humans
Yes! I knew it!!
Whoops didn’t mean to reply to myself 😂
Thats some next level sh*t right there😂
So make sure your pets met your prospective partner and then decide whether you still like them or not 😂
What a great idea….
For instance, Chi Xiao likes Duan Yuyang a lot.
And also, that Chi Xiao doesn’t like Han Yuran.
And now we know who actually saved Yuan Tianwen…
Loving that little crane. Seriously so much fantastic sass in this chapter. I hope MC can help with DYY’s poison.
Thanks for the great translation ♥️♥️
(┙>∧<）┙へ┻┻
YTW needs a good smacking! I think Dad Su Mo is in favor of DYY as son-in-law.
Thanks for the chapter!
“As such, Yan Tianwen* was basically sitting in the midst of Lin Xuanzhi’s embrace.” I think that’s supposed to be Yan Tianhen. It gets confusing after a while haha
Thank you for your efforts! It was basically hinted for a while now, but I’m glad it’s confirmed that DYY was the one who saved YTW. Hehe Han Yuran is digging the deepest grave the longer thus farce is going on, and now that even our smart MC has confirmed his suspicions as well, he won’t let this face slapping opportunity get away
( • ̀ω•́ ) hehehhe…..
Thx!! I’ve edited the name~ yeah I keep getting the names mixed up in my head now especially if they look similar…….
Han Yuran exists to feed the DYY x YTW ship ♪( ´▽｀)
Didi and DYY combining forces to face slap scum faker~! MC and ML on the same horse, enjoying tofu~.
It’s pretty obvious why the crane likes Duan Yuyang, lol. Maybe the dad will be able to piece it together.
Thanks for the chapter!
Yuan Tianwen is an idiot. snorts I can’t wait for his reaction when he finds out he’s been played and has been treating his real saviour so badly. Also, that crane and Ah Bai should get their own love story! So cute!
Thanks for translating~
I really like the trio.
Mc and the other gege befriending each other too fast… I was like…it’s as simple as that? DYY was smart; he didn’t need a past life to know mc worthy of becoming his friend, unlike that stupid YTW.
Apparently the ex-scum fiance forgot he’s the worst of them all, still using mc’s gift until now. It’s amazing seeing mc and didi’s flawless cooperation(?) on getting that gift back.
Thanks for the chapter!
And also how the trio keeps up their flawless cooperation in dissing Han Yuran hahahaha I love it
Thanks for the chapter! So he saved the fool, proposed marriage, got refused, then changed his “personality” (if I’m not messing up the chronology). So what did the fool do to him, aside from forced? intercourse?…
changed his personality?? His personality didn’t really change tho, he’s just really upset and mad at Yuan Tianwen for finding a new sweetheart D: bc he likes Yuan Tianwen a lot
Sorry, I meant since his attitude changed & people noticed. From what I understood, his abrasive act is in response to what happened to him & the rejection (a mix of pain, anger & disillusionment I guess, I also wonder if their time together didn’t have more permanent consequences?). & It seems to be a serious change, at least to others. He used to be a sweeter fellow, it seems. (me thinks the sweetness was mostly in a few directions, lol)
I couldn’t put everything in line before, but they’re like a row of ducklings now, lol.
Ohh are you talking about his rep now? The reason for his bad rep will be explained soon I think! No worries, sweet Yuyang never changed hehe
Also, as a rule, one should listen to their animals, especially a smart one, animals dislike others fo a reason. (I will exclude a lot of cats, lol, they are a total mystery.)
thanks 4 the chapter………
Thank you for the chapter!!!
The person who saved Tianwei is probably Yuyang lol seemed like Tianwei tried to kill Yuran in the past life because he found out the truth
I don’t think he ever actually found out the full truth though he just wanted to kill him but he didn’t go to Dy because MC doesn’t know or hasn’t mentioned it. so I guess dy took the secret to the grave in his past life 😥
Tú Grulla es más inteligente que tú, mira que no le gusta tu pareja actual, en cuanto a DY jajajajaja le dió una buena excusa el MC para que colocara a nuestro lindo feo en su caballo.
Yuyang-ge doesn’t deserve that dumbass Yuan Tianwen 😂
Mfw a spirit beast knows who the real savior is, my gosh I can’t wait for the reveal >:D
Second; is there a way to change my username? I can’t find an option to do so; and my email address is honestly kind of embarrassing.😳 (I’ve had it since I was 16; the meaning is honestly completely innocent – it was meant to be a statement of uniqueness, “You can’t put me in a box (IE: stereotype or pigeonhole me) with anyone else; I’m in a box of my own!” – but I later learned that it sounds a bit like an innuendo. So while I don’t care enough to change my email, I still don’t really want to use it as a username if I can avoid it! 😖😝 )
Thirdly; for the most part, I’m really enjoying this book. 😍
That said, right now I have a bit of a rant about TYW that I need to get out of my system. 🤬 I’m sorry if you’re not interested; feel free to ignore it if you want. I just don’t know anyone else who’s reading this novel, so I have no one else to rant TO about my feelings about these characters right now!
Honestly, I’m really starting to hate the prospect of a YTW/DYY pairing. 😬🤢 Initially, I was hoping that LXZ would discover the truth about the situation and expose it to YTW before he has a chance to get married and go any further with HYR. Because DYY DESERVES to be happy, dammit! 😤😉😊
But… I’m starting to think that he deserves to be happy WITHOUT TYW. 🤔 Because I’m starting to despise TYW almost as much as HYR at this point. 😡🤮 And DYY deserves better. ☹🤧
So while part of me thinks that DYY deserves to have TYW learn the truth before it’s too late, and spend a LONG ASS TIME groveling and making it up to DYY before he can finally be forgiven; because he’s who DYY WANTS… part of me ALSO wishes that DYY would get over him and move on; would find somebody ELSE, who ACTUALLY deserves him, and will treat him the way he deserves to be treated. Then he can be perfectly happy WITHOUT TYW, thankyouverymuch; and TYW can be sad and miserable and alone after he learns the truth and know that it’s all his own fault as much as HYR’s. 😈😏😌THAT part of me thinks that YTW seriously deserves to marry HYR and find out too late that he was lying and just what kind of person he is. It’s not just because TYW is stupid – and seriously, his obliviousness CANNOT be explained simply by the fact that he’s a pampered young master; he’s so completely blind to SO MANY huge red flags about HYR, it isn’t even funny, just pathetic; it’s at the level where NO amount of being sheltered is enough to be explained by ANYTHING other than him being too stupid to live. 😱 The fact that he can’t tell that the personality of HYR and the personality of the person he spent his Qi Deviation with were two totally different people… indicates that he’s basically a pretty face who’s good at cultivating and is sometimes a decent person, but otherwise is about as perceptive and intelligent as a rock – but I also feel that way because he’s an honourless asshole. 🤬🔪 If he DID have any honour, then the moment that he found out that HYR was engaged he should have wanted to tell HYR’s fiance what happened during his Qi Deviation. To take responsibility for his actions, and not deceive a completely uninvolved and innocent party who would be hurt by it. Even if he decided to remain silent about it for HYR’s sake, the fact that HYR was willing to have an affair with him while refusing to break off his engagement SHOULD HAVE given him pause. And no matter what his feelings were, the fact that HE was willing to kiss and such with HYR while he was still engaged rather than waiting for the engagement to be broken off shows that HE has no honour or morals other than empty lip service and hypocrisy. Even if they HAD slept together during his Qi Deviation, that was an accident and neither of their faults; it was a TOTALLY different thing from deliberately sharing any kind of physical intimacy of their own free wills afterwards. Honour demanded that they abstain as long as HYR was still engaged to someone else. So the fact that not only did he not notice that HYR’s willingness to cheat on LXZ was a sign of bad character on his part, but that TYW himself had no qualms engaging in what he KNEW full well was an affair with a taken man, really shows that he really doesn’t have a good character. I mean, at the beginning of the affair, LXZ was still part of the Profound Sky Sect, right? Which means he was still part of that group of four together with YTW. Which ALSO means that YTW SHOULD HAVE taken the opportunity to meet with him and talk with him; to get a measure of the character of the man whose fiance he was pursuing. Not to mention that with how much LXZ doted on and spoiled HYR, combined with his well-known reputation, it should have been common knowledge that he was totally enamored with his fiance. So YTW SHOULD HAVE had some guilt about his actions, and tried to meet LXZ to reassure himself that either the rumours were false, and LXZ didn’t truly care for HYR; or at the very least to reassure himself that LXZ’s character was poor, and therefore HYR deserved better and LXZ didn’t deserve the consideration. The only reason for him to have failed to do so is that deep down, he knew that LXZ WAS a man of good character AND that he was very much in love with his fiance, and YTW didn’t want to have it confirmed so that he could pretend otherwise. It was honestly the very least he could do after screwing the man’s fiance behind his back – however accidental it happened to be – and deciding to hide it from him. LXZ had a reputation as a righteous, honorable man; he wouldn’t have blamed HYR for what happened during TYW’s Qi Deviation since he was forced. And he deserved to know. At the very least, he deserved to know that TYW was pursuing HYR. It was the least amount of consideration TYW owed LXZ as members of not only the same sect, but also the same group. I’ll allow that maybe – MAYBE – he was trying to work up the courage to approach LXZ before he fell; which was why he didn’t do it while LXZ was still part of the same sect, but there’s no reason he couldn’t still approach LXZ AFTERWARDS as a concerned member of his former sect – especially given their previous shared status. That he decided that LXZ didn’t deserve any consideration from him at that point – ESPECIALLY since HYR’s excuse for refusing to break off his engagement at that point was that he didn’t want to hurt LXZ while he was down; which was as good as admitting that LXZ was in love with him – was callous, selfish, and prejudiced of him to decide that LXZ didn’t deserve any consideration from him now that he had lost his cultivation. I mean, he would have had to travel to the same city where LXZ lived to meet with HYR; it’s not like it would have been difficult or even an imposition to go and see him. But instead he just goes ahead blithely carrying on with the man’s fiance behind his back and reassuring himself that it’s fine because the man is worthless now without his cultivation anyway. 😬 Honestly, YTW is scum. 😤🤢 He actually DESERVES HYR. 😒 DYY deserves SOOOOO much better. 😤
Okay; rant done. 😅 Sorry about that. 😳🤭 I just… have a LOT of FEELINGS about this right now. 😉😆😊
Sorry – now that I’ve left a comment I was able to access my profile, so the username issue is no longer relevant. That said, I can’t find an option to edit my comment; to at least trim it down a bit by taking out that question and editing out some of my rant. Sorry about that! 😳😁
Someone please please put me out of my misery and tell me when the truth about Ham yuran comes out aaaaaaaaghhhhhh
Hurry up and figure out that Yuyang is the one who saved Tianwen someone! If I could figure it out, surely they can – sooner!
I feel like Duan Yuyang was the guy who saved Yuan Tianwen
I hope this two breakup is soon
