After driving Di Tian back, Lang Lei still stood guard before the tent, steadfast as a soldier at his post, without moving an inch.
Lang Lei knew perfectly well that Di Tian had likely not used his full strength. As for the reason, he vaguely understood some of it.
Di Tian furrowed his brow and said urgently, "Lang Lei, I do not know what your relationship is with Lady Ice Dragon King and Lady Fire Dragon King, but you must understand that they are the key to the revival of our Soul Beast race. Today, I must find them and bring them to see our master!"
Di Tian's voice carried an unquestionable authority, as though he would get serious if Lang Lei continued to refuse to see reason.
Lang Lei's gaze was sharp, without the slightest hint of retreat in his eyes. He stared directly at Di Tian and replied, "Di Tian, they have now been reincarnated, and all past karma has been severed. They should have the right to make their own choices now. Besides, why are you so certain they would choose to go with you?"
"If we were to choose, we would choose to follow Young Master."
At that moment, Xuan Bing's crisp voice came from behind them.
Di Tian and Lang Lei looked toward Xuan Bing and Li Huo, who had emerged from the tent.
"Sorry. Did we still wake you?" Lang Lei asked with slight apology.
Xuan Bing shook her head gently, her expression resolute. "Young Master, this is not your fault. We were not asleep to begin with. We also sensed Di Tian's arrival. He should be inextricably connected to those memory fragments we saw."
Xuan Bing wore a pale blue dress, its hem swaying softly in the breeze like a blooming ice flower.
