A Ning Come

The big horse crossed firmly on the path, until Dai Yang pulled the reins to stop, right in the middle of the road. There's a group waiting at the end of the road ahead of them. A group of people on the horse had already covered the path at the border not far ahead. At the very front, was A Ning, who was sitting on his big horse looking at Dai Yang and Yuen with sharp eyes.

Yuen widened his eyes. Didn't expect to see A Ning come with so many people there. Those people were dressed in Bei family security uniforms, neatly lined up right in front of the borderline passing through Lotus Valley.

"Brother Ning?"

Bei Ning looked at Yuen and stretched out his hand.

"Yuen, come here, get away from that monster"

Yuen frowned, looking at A Ning, then Dai Yang behind him. Dai Yang looked at A Ning with sharp eyes, then smiled.

"Hey, Young Master Bei, you come"

The distance between the two is quite far, about five horses. And Dai Yang didn't want to bring his horse closer yet. He grinned when he saw Bei Ning who came with so many troops. What was on the young man's mind? Did he think he could fight him, with those useless people? But, he couldn't be careless, lest Yuen er saw him being rude to his senior apprentice.

"Don't mince words, Young Master Yang, I don't know who you are, but what is certain is that little Yuen isn't safe with you, and he isn't yours either. Please hand him back to us," said A Ning.

Dai Yang grinned.

"He, funny, I don't think he is also yours, to someone who can say like that"

Yuen stuttered, looking at A Ning who was looking with hateful eyes. He held Dai Yang's hand.

"Brother Yang, just let me come down here, looks like Brother A Ning doesn't like you."

Dai Yang smiled. He smoothed Yuen's long hair and tied it behind his back.

"But I want to take you to the old man's hut. He will think I am irresponsible towards you," said Dai Yang, lifting Yuen's hand and kissing it.

A Ning clenched his fists to stop himself from going forward and pulling Yuen at him. That is the Golden Clouds region, he couldn't pass through because of his problems with Dai Yang. He tried to restrain himself even though anger was at the tip of his head, ready to explode.

"Yuen, come here, stay away from him, that man will not be allowed to step on Lotus Valley again, you must not bring him back to the valley."

Yuen looked at A Ning, making sure he meant what he said, he was confused by what happened.

"Brother A Ning, what do you mean? What happened? Brother Yang?"

Dai Yang tugged at the corners of his lips, still hugging Yuen tightly.

"Yen Yen, brother will visit you later, don't worry about that," whispered Dai Yang, kissing Yuen's cheek. This made A Ning finally unable to hold back his anger, he shot off his horse towards Yuen and Dai Yang. Don't care that she had already stepped on the foreign ground.

"Insolent, I told you to take your hands off Yuen er, how dare you touch him after what you did!"

Yuen was caught in the middle when A Ning pulled his hand while Dai Yang didn't intend to let him go either. The two stared at each other. Yuen stuttered, he tried to let go of A Ning and Dai Yang's grip, lest the two of them fight because of him.

"Brother Yang, let me go, you can drop me off here."

Dai Yang was still holding Yuen's hand, looking at A Ning with sharp eyes, but, he looked at Yuen's eyes at him with a gentle look. How could he get the kid stuck in the middle of a situation like this? Dai Yang smiled. He let go of Yuen's hand, slowly lifted his feet, and jumped down from his big horse. Dai Yang saw A Ning's hand on Yuen, asking him to let go so the kid could get off the horse.

A Ning took a step back, still holding out his hand to Yuen. Help the young man to get down.

"Come on Yuen, let's go home, this place is not good for you"

Yuen still looking at Dai Yang even though A Ning had pulled him away. The big man just stood where he was, watching his love being carried away. But Dai Yang smiled.

"See you again, Yen Yen, I'll be there to meet you, okay?"

Yuen nodded, and he smiled.

"Hey, yeah Brother"

A Ning pulled Yuen's hand roughly towards his horse, almost bumping into the horse, and pushing him up.

"Come on Yuen, what are you waiting for?"

Yuen didn't understand why A Ning was being rude to him, he pulled him so hard.

"Brother Ning"

Dai Yang pursed his lips, although the young man had a temper, Yen Yen would be safe in his hands. Until he found the antidote, no one would be able to take him away from him.

Yuen was still looking at Dai Yang when the big horse he was riding with A Ning turned towards the road, leaving the Golden Cloud Valley. It felt hard to leave Dai Yang in a situation like that. A Ning just hugged him with a silent and scary face, as if he was angry with him for leaving her a few days ago. Well, it was his fault, how could he leave A Ning? That's very strange. He didn't remember what happened.

Throughout the journey away from the border of the Golden Cloud Valley, A Ning remained silent, Yuen sat with him on his horse while A Ning held the horse's reins past his waist. A Ning just looked at Yuen sharply, realizing that the kid was no longer wearing the clothes he gave him. Of course, it's been three days since Yuen disappeared, who knows what happened in that terrible valley?

Yuen didn't know what to say to A Ning, he could feel that A Ning's aura was so terrifying at that moment. He had never seen the creepy face of him like this before.

Arriving at a fork in the road, one road leading towards Clear Water town, and the next road leading towards Lotus Valley, A Ning and the Bei family security party stopped their way. The head of security, Hu Li looked at his young master. A Ning nodded.

"You guys go back, tell father that I'm going straight back to college."

The security chief nodded. He then waved his hand at his subordinates to follow him. The group moved in the opposite direction to A Ning.

Yuen pursed his mouth, looking at A Ning who had been ignoring him ever since they left the waterfall. A Ning then pulled the horse's reins, led the horse to the front of the road for a while, and stopped. The young man jumped off the horse and stretched out his hand for Yuen to come down with him. For a moment, Yuen just looked at him, looks like he no longer be angry with him.

"Let's rest for a while here, you must be tired because you've been riding a horse for such a long time."

Yuen pursed his mouth. He accepted A Ning's hand and got off the horse.

A Ning held Yuen's hand, pulled his arm, and held his hand tightly.

"Come on, let's sit over there," said A Ning, pulling Yuen and his horse toward under a lush tree. Even though the air wasn't that hot, they both still felt tired from being on horseback for so long. A Ning helped Yuen sit on a large tree root sticking out of the ground and sat beside him. He handed Yuen his water bottle.

"We'll be dark soon, are you hungry yet?" A Ning asked.

Yuen grabbed the drinking bottle, he shook his head.

"Not really, Brother, I already ate a lot at the palace.. eh, brother Yang's house"

Yuen was a little reluctant to say it, A Ning's expression when he heard Dai Yang's name didn't look good. Yuen pursed his mouth, looking at A Ning's face which had changed since he last saw him. Yuen pulled A Ning's hand towards him.

"Brother, forgive me that I left without any news, I also don't know what happened. Brother Yang said something bad happened at your house so he had no choice but to take me to his place. Actually, what happened? Brother Yang doesn't want to say it clearly. Did, I ruin Grandma Bei's birthday?" Yuen asked. For a while, he looked at A Ning at him, waiting for his answer.

A Ning saw Yuen's hand on his arm. Grabbed it and held it tightly.

"Forgive me that I pushed you a bit harshly, I was just worried because you haven't been home for three days. All the feelings came into my head thinking something bad had happened to you to prevent you from coming home immediately. So, I was very angry just now, Did I hurt you? How about your leg, is it still hurt?" A Ning asked softly. Yuen er smiled. He shook his head.
