"Grandpa, from what I have observed of the way both the beasts treat their masters, they are definitely not strangers.
I am inclined to think that Bunny and Ye Xuan were their previous masters.
Moreover, from what the Black Tortoise said, it seemed that Ye Xuan used to either live or frequent the ancient battlefield and had left it there to go and do something.
He had promised to come back for it, so that tortoise had not left the lake it was left in. It was as if it was afraid that when it's master came back, he won't be able to find it, so it had stayed put in the same place for thousands of years.
It had even made it it's territory where other beasts dared not trespass." Chu Hao explained what he had observed.
In fact, everyone should have noticed this point, it was just that without a direct statement like what the Grandpa Chu had said, it wouldn't have occurred to them that these beasts had been contracted to the same people before.
