After pondering for a while, Linley finally looked at the Azure Dragon Ring in his hand. Delinkwort, with whom he had first formed a bond through this ring, appeared in his mind.
"Boss, do you think Kahn might be trying to covet your divine artifact?" Beibei sent mentally to Linley.
It was not just Beibei. Dilia, standing nearby, also looked at Linley with some concern. This was a divine artifact—wouldn't even Paragons be tempted by one?
"Probably not. He has a complete divine artifact himself. I haven't heard of any relatives of his who need this divine artifact, and even if he took mine, it would be of no use to him. Kahn probably wouldn't go that far." Though Linley was somewhat worried, he quickly dismissed Beibei's guess.
Then, Linley finally made up his mind. He removed the Azure Dragon Ring, dissolved the blood contract, and handed it to Zhou Tong. "Kahn, I'll leave the Azure Dragon Ring to you!"
"Don't worry. I'm fairly confident." Zhou Tong took the ring and bound it with a drop of blood.
At the same time, he removed his own divine artifact, dissolved its blood contract as well, and handed it to Linley. "Use my intact divine artifact for the time being. Once I've repaired yours, we'll trade them back."
"Kahn, this..." Linley was stunned.
"Just accept it. With my strength, even without an intact Soul Defense Divine Artifact, no one can hurt me unless a Sovereign acts. But if a Sovereign does act, even having a complete divine artifact would be useless." Zhou Tong waved his hand generously, signaling for Linley to accept it without worry.
Linley felt somewhat ashamed as well. Earlier, he had judged a gentleman by the standards of a petty man. He had truly been acting like a fool.
