Beside him, Elder Beilie nodded as well, casting a glance at Qin Yang and the others before floating onto another Red Flame Eagle Vulture.

Nangong Yunfeng shot a sullen look at Qin Yang. His reputation was completely tarnished today, and he had a feeling that this kid would definitely come to the Nangong Clan one day. The next time, he would surely meet this boy again. Hmph, when that boy comes to the Nangong Clan, he would make him pay!

At that moment, Nangong Yunfeng and the two Flame Divine Guards behind him followed Elder Beilie, also mounting the Red Flame Eagle Vulture.

"Brother Qin Yang, I'm leaving now."

Zilan's charming face carried a trace of reluctance as she stood in front of Qin Yang.

"Hehe, go back then. If you miss this place, come back anytime. Feipu Manor will always be your home."

Qin Yang smiled, nodding.

"Mm, Brother Qin Yang, I'll definitely come back."

Zilan's lips curved into a smile, nodding firmly.

The life here was truly wonderful. Every day was filled with chirping birds and blooming flowers, and no one forced her to cultivate. Plus, Brother Qin Yang, Sister Xinxue, and Xiaoyu were all here.

Every morning she could pick fruits with Xiaoyu, and at noon and in the evening, a large group would gather around a long table by the river to eat together. The feeling was really great, she truly liked this place, this lifestyle.

"By the way, Brother Qin Yang, this is a jade pendant I've always carried with me. I'm giving it to you."

Zilan lifted the hem of her white short sleeve, revealing a slender waist adorned with a red translucent jade pendant. The jade was flawless and crimson like clouds, with a divine bird seemingly about to take flight etched into the front.

Zilan took off the pendant and extended it to Qin Yang with her delicate hand.

Looking at the red jade pendant in Zilan's fair hand, Qin Yang's pupils contracted, a flash of disbelief crossing his eyes.

"Could this be... Flame Crystal Marrow?!"

Qin Yang thought in surprise.

Rumor had it that where the Vermilion Bird often settled, Flame Crystal Jade formed underground.

The Vermilion Bird was a top-tier Fire Attribute Divine Beast, and the high temperature it emitted caused Flame Crystal Jade to form underground.

The Vermilion Bird is one of the top-tier Divine Beasts in Heaven and Earth. Even in Qin Yang's past life, he had never seen one, and Flame Crystal Jade was naturally extremely rare. The Flame Crystal Marrow was the most precious essence of a Flame Crystal Jade vein, exceedingly valuable.

A Divine Beast like the Vermilion Bird would have to remain in one location for several hundred years for Flame Crystal Marrow to form underground, and the formed Flame Crystal Marrow would amount to just the size of a small box, incredibly rare.

"Brother Qin Yang, you can't refuse. My family has another one."

Seeing Qin Yang's gaze fall on the pendant in her hand, Zilan smiled and, without giving him a chance to speak, placed it in his hand.

"This...?"

Qin Yang looked at the jade pendant in his hand, a rare look of hesitation crossing his face.

Qin Yang had always acted decisively, but this Flame Crystal Marrow was no ordinary item.

The Flame Crystal Marrow contained traces of the Vermilion Bird's aura. For a Fire Demonic Beast, consuming it would greatly enhance its bloodline, especially for avian-type Fire Demonic Beasts, the evolution would be quite apparent, akin to a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

Besides beasts, Fire Cultivators could also consume it. After consumption, their control over flame would be greatly strengthened, and if taken at a critical juncture in advancing cultivation, the vast energy contained within Flame Crystal Marrow had a ninety-nine percent probability of enabling a breakthrough.

Additionally, it's rumored that cultivators who consumed Flame Crystal Marrow could refine the tail feather of the Vermilion Bird. A Divine Beast is one of the peak existences, with even a single feather possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

So, from any angle, the Flame Crystal Marrow was exceedingly precious, and it was precisely because of its immense value that Qin Yang hesitated.

"Brother Qin Yang..."

Zilan pouted her rosy lips, her bright eyes clear as water, and called out softly.

Hearing this, Qin Yang let out a wry smile, then ceased hesitating and tucked the pendant securely into his palm.

A peculiar fire energy transmitted from Qin Yang's palm into his body, causing the Spiritual Power in his Dantian to become lively.

"Alright, I'll accept it; if you ever need it, Brother Qin Yang will return it to you."

Qin Yang rubbed Zilan's head, smiling as he spoke.

"No, I still have one at home. Brother Qin Yang has given me such precious armor and talismans, so a jade pendant is nothing."

Zilan replied with a cheerful smile.

Hearing this, Qin Yang didn't know what to say. In truth, for a cultivator, trifling armor and talismans were nothing; not even comparable to a speck of jade shavings from the Flame Crystal Marrow.

On the Red Flame Eagle Vulture, seeing that Miss Zilan had given away her cherished pendant to that boy, Nangong Yunfeng's face became even gloomier.

"Elder Beilie, Miss gave that precious pendant she always carries to that boy. That pendant was taken from our clan's Holy Land. Although I don't know its function, it's extremely precious, not even the clan leader wears it. How can it be given to an outsider?"

Nangong Yunfeng's handsome face darkened as he spoke.

Hearing this, Elder Beilie glanced at Nangong Yunfeng.

"Yunfeng, it's the Miss's belonging; whoever she wants to give it to, she will. What can an old man like me do? I can't exactly forcibly seize it back. Why don't you go talk to the Miss?"

Elder Beilie replied blandly.

"Err..."

Hearing this, Nangong Yunfeng's expression froze, his face turning unpleasant. Should I go talk to the Miss? Would she listen to me? More likely, it would just upset her further.

At this point, Nangong Yunfeng could only glare hatefully at Qin Yang, deepening his resentment towards this young man even more.

"Brother Qin Yang, aren't you about to start university?"

Zilan suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Mm."

Qin Yang paused for a moment, then nodded. It was already the end of August, and the reporting date seemed to be around these days.

"Brother Qin Yang, Jiangnan Province is the closest to my home. If I get bored at home, I'll come visit you at Jiangling University."

Zilan giggled and whispered.

"Mm, alright."

Qin Yang smiled, agreeing. It seemed this girl had faced some hardships at home, but Qin Yang knew the Nangong Clan likely had her best interests at heart.

"Mm."

Zilan nodded, then talked to Ling Xiaoyu for a bit before reluctantly casting one last look at the orchard and manor.

"Brother Qin Yang, Xiaoyu, I'm leaving now. Say goodbye to Sister Xinxue, Sister Xinyan, and everyone else for me."

Zilan said.

"Mm, Zilan, take these."

Ling Xiaoyu handed two fruit baskets to Zilan, filled with glistening grapes and other fruits.

Zilan's face lit up with joy as she accepted the baskets. Once she returned home, she wouldn't have such delicious fruits to enjoy.

Under the watchful eyes of Qin Yang and Ling Xiaoyu, Zilan boarded the Red Flame Eagle Vulture, then waved her small hand at them.
