Chapter 1320: You Are All Thieves (3)

Duan Yuan had been pointed at the nose and was cursed out loudly by Vermillion Bird. He was honestly suffering in silence.

How would he know that there was really a mythical beast that had such a good relations.h.i.+p with an elf? He had gifted her a large number of gems in one go?

There was nothing suspicious about Vermilion Bird’s words. Magical beasts were creatures that could freely travel across various continents and the laws of the elves did not govern them. Moreover, there was no clause prohibiting them from giving gifts to the elves.

Magical beasts had always liked to live in the Brilliance Continent. A mythical-level magical beast like Vermilion Bird had a high status in the Brilliance Continent, so it was not a problem for him to build a mountain of gold and silver. Right now, he had gifted the gems he obtained from the Brilliance Continent to an elf. Although it sounded fake, it did not violate any laws of the elves.

“Well…” Duan Yuan looked at Vermilion Bird helplessly. How come he did not know when mythical beasts had such good relations.h.i.+ps with elves?

Shen Yanxiao seemed to have read Duan Yuan’s mind. With a sweet smile, she looked at Duan Yuan and said. “City Lord, don’t be nervous. It’s just a little impatient. I was an orphan and was fortunate enough to be adopted by it. Not long ago, when I left the forest and entered the city, those jewels were the gift it gave me. At that time, I did not have any money on me and could only use these jewels to trade for crystal coins. I believe there must be some misunderstanding between us.” Shen Yanxiao’s voice was very calm. It was a strong contrast to the Vermilion Bird’s clamoring.

Moreover, her explanation was reasonable and there was not the slightest mistake.

Shen Yanxiao had planned everything beforehand.

Even if Duan Yuan suspected her ident.i.ty, she was not worried.

Before she entered Fragrant Night City, she did not appear in any city and coincidentally confirmed the fact that she had been adopted by Vermilion Bird.

Moreover, when Mo Yu took her away from Fragrant Night City, Mo Yu, Mo Feng and the rest could testify for her. Furthermore, she did not have any other tribe, and the elves of the advanced training camp were well aware of that. Even the elves of the Moonlight Tribe could testify for her.

Even if Duan Yuan dug three feet deep, he would not be able to find any suspicious points.

“I see. It seems like there’s a misunderstanding. Why don’t the both of you take a rest in the estate while I give some instructions and see how the matter is resolved.” Duan Yuan was naturally not that easy to fool. Even though he believed most of what Shen Yanxiao said, he still had some doubts about it.

Therefore, he had to send someone to investigate.

Shen Yanxiao knew that Duan Yuan wanted to calm them down so that he could investigate her ident.i.ty.

However…

She was not worried at all if he were to investigate.

Vermilion Bird wanted to snort, but he received Shen Yanxiao’s signal and immediately swallowed the words he had prepared.

“Forget it. For the sake of my little girl, I’ll give you a chance to explain for the time being.” Vermilion Bird spoke arrogantly, but he felt great deep down.

Hahaha!

Finally, he could brazenly call her little girl!

Who asked this girl to bully him everyday!

Now was the time for him to make a comeback!

“Then please,” Duan Yuan said with a smile.

Vermilion Bird snorted and waved at a tree.

Two pet.i.te and adorable figures hopped down from the tree branch and bounced to Vermilion Bird’s side.

With a wave of his hand, Vermilion Bird threw Little Phoenix and Mini Dragon to the ground.

For the sake of being intimidating, he did not wear these two mascots.
