Wang Zhan glanced at Zhao Feiyu beside him, a cold smile tugging at the corner of his lips, as he shook his head and said, "You kid are really crazy, still thinking of hogging all the treasures in the ruins for yourself, without even considering your own strength."
"If it weren’t for the Dragon Clan’s help, do you think you two could continue to survive?"
"Although I was the one who entered the ruins to rescue you, without the Dragon Clan’s precise location guidance, even I couldn’t have pinpointed your exact location, let alone rush to the ruins in time to rescue both of you."
Wang Zhan spoke lightly.
Upon hearing Wang Zhan’s words, Zhao Feiyu’s lips curled into an awkward smile as he scratched his head and continued, "Actually, I was just joking with you and didn’t mean anything else, but you can rest assured, Mr. Wang. After both of us recover, we’ll immediately follow you into the ruins, no matter what danger awaits, we’ll always stay by your side and fight alongside you, and we’ll make sure to thoroughly investigate everything within the ruins!"
Wang Zhan was finally satisfied with a smile.
One must know gratitude, the Dragon Clan indeed contributed a lot, and if it weren’t for their help, how could they be so carefree now?
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan was already separated from the two beside him.
But Li Du had no particular thoughts, Wang Zhan actually understood him well, as these two had once teamed up to compete for the Divine Heart. It was then that their friendship was established, and since then, their relationship had only grown stronger. Moreover, when they left that ruins, although they managed to acquire quite a few elixirs.
Li Du handed all the elixirs to those around him, not keeping any for himself.
It wasn’t just that Li Du was selfless; it was more because they had encountered formidable foes, and if he didn’t do that, many around him would have lost their lives, so he unconditionally gave all the elixirs to everyone.
This act alone was enough to move Wang Zhan.
Were it Zhao Feiyu’s people, he believed they definitely wouldn’t do the same.
Now that everything is explained to Zhao Feiyu, Wang Zhan naturally doesn’t need to waste any more time, believing Zhao Feiyu wouldn’t do anything outrageous, and the final result would be the same — all that’s needed now is to quietly preserve energy, waiting for both to fully recover before heading to the ruins immediately.
No matter what is encountered inside the ruins, everyone would definitely not easily retreat.
Having decided this, Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a satisfied smile before drifting into a deep sleep.
In the blink of an eye, when Wang Zhan woke again it was already morning the next day. Since arriving at the sea domain, there had always been numerous things around him, but luckily everything had been resolved fairly well, not bringing him much trouble.
Quickly, Wang Zhan emerged from the room.
He glanced at the Black Dragon Clan Leader standing nearby, his lips forming a shallow smile as he hurriedly inquired, "How are my friends doing now?"
Zhao Feiyu had already expressed his determination to Wang Zhan, claiming he wouldn’t do anything outrageous, but Wang Zhan was still somewhat worried, as this guy’s words were not entirely trustworthy. If he really did something to harm the Dragon Clan, Wang Zhan would have to step in to stop it promptly, lest it becomes troublesome later.
After all, his relationship with the Dragon Clan was quite favorable, and if ever there was a conflict between them, Wang Zhan wouldn’t even know on whose side to stand.
The Black Dragon Clan Leader’s lips curled into a faint smile as he confidently said, "Rest assured, your friends are still in seclusion mode since their injuries are relatively severe, but I’ve given them the Dragon Clan’s best medicinal ingredients for recovery. I believe it won’t take long for their strength to regain peak condition, and you need only set your mind at ease without worrying about anything..."
Wang Zhan nodded in relief, gratefully glancing at the Black Dragon Clan Leader before him.
He continued, "By the way, how is Xiang Tian doing?"
Focused on Zhao Feiyu and Li Du, Wang Zhan had neglected to check on Xiang Tian’s condition recently.
He didn’t even know what Xiang Tian was like now.
Nor was he clear to what extent Xiang Tian’s strength improved.
So naturally, Wang Zhan needed to quickly understand.
Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Clan Leader waved his hand and continued, "Set your mind at ease, your friend’s strength is quite decent, and his foundation is much better than imagined. Even though he’s training with our Dragon Clan elites, he hasn’t fallen too far behind, but..."
Mid-sentence, a trace of awkwardness crossed the Black Dragon Clan Leader’s face.
Wang Zhan, still joyous moments ago, noticed his expression and his face involuntarily turned somewhat unsightly.
He puzzledly glanced at the Black Dragon Clan Leader beside him and quickly asked, "Has something happened?"
He had brought Xiang Tian to the sea domain in the first place, so even if Xiang Tian’s strength couldn’t grow significantly, he had to bring Xiang Tian back safely, lest it becomes difficult to account to everyone inside Tian Pavilion.
Most crucially, Wang Zhan’s relationship with Xiang Tian was particularly nuanced; even those inside Sky Pavilion couldn’t compare to their bond. After all, Wang Zhan rescued Xiang Tian from the fifth war zone when Xiang Tian’s strength differed vastly from his own. Although there was still a chasm-sized gap between them now, Wang Zhan could still sense Xiang Tian’s relentless efforts, and his speed of improvement far exceeded expectations.
Naturally, Wang Zhan observed all this quietly.
Though Wang Zhan found it gratifying, he must keep urging Xiang Tian too.
After all, he couldn’t stay by Xiang Tian’s side forever, nor could he always shield both from storms, so they must handle many things independently.
Upon contemplating all these, how could Wang Zhan not worry?
The Black Dragon Clan Leader shook his head again and continued, "It’s not as bad as you think; your friends suffered some minor injuries, but they aren’t serious. After all, they train daily which inevitably leads to exchanges, and with the Dragon Clan kids being rather heavy-handed, some surface injuries occurred, but I instructed the Dragon Clan fellows to avoid giving your friends trouble as much as possible."
The Dragon Clan Leader couldn’t interfere too much, though.
As long as no fatalities occur, it’s enough.
For only through the baptism of fresh blood could one have the chance to stand as a mighty force, an eternal truth from ancient times.
Wang Zhan hesitated briefly before saying, "Alright, why don’t you take me to see my friends’ situation? Just hearing this still leaves me uncertain about their condition, and I’m still somewhat worried. Moreover, I don’t want him to encounter any mishaps, as it would be impossible to explain to those around me..."
He had many experts around him and everyone knew he brought Xiang Tian to the sea domain.
If he can’t protect Xiang Tian well, how could he protect others in future?
Naturally, Wang Zhan needed to ponder carefully.
The Black Dragon Clan Leader didn’t hesitate at all, nodding directly and smilingly said, "Fine, since that’s the case, I’ll take you to see your friend now. But you can set your mind at ease, just as I said, there’s no problem whatsoever."
Wang Zhan was finally satisfied with a smile, also not saying anything further.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and the Black Dragon Clan Leader arrived at the Dragon Clan’s Trial Grounds.
Just then, they heard footsteps from behind.
As Wang Zhan turned, he noticed Zhao Feiyu approaching him slowly; his expression instantly changed, and he inquisitively asked, "I just heard the Black Dragon Clan Leader mention, weren’t you and Li Du in seclusion? How come you suddenly appeared here? Don’t you want to recover your strength quickly? Or explore those ruins for treasures again?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyu beside him shook his head, shrugged helplessly, and continued, "Although both Li Du and I are injured, it’s not severe, so I just need a good rest to recover my strength to peak condition. Even if we enter the ruins now, I won’t be a hindrance..."
"But, Li Du and I have some differences; he wants to seize this time for faster cultivation, considering the Black Dragon Clan Leader provided some excellent resources, offering him a golden opportunity."
"I, however, don’t want to waste time idly in a room."
