When Lan Guangxian heard what Ye Chen said, he put his index finger to his lips, signaling for Ye Chen to keep his voice down. The others were still asleep!
Then Lan Guangxian gestured for Ye Chen to come outside and talk. Ye Chen understood and followed him out of the cave.
Ye Chen asked Lan Guangxian again, "How are you feeling now? Are you all right? Nothing bothering you?"
Lan Guangxian smiled at Ye Chen's words and said, "How could I not be all right after you risked everything to save me, Brother Ye Chen?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me anymore. I'm really grateful to you, Brother Ye Chen!" As he spoke, Lan Guangxian patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, clearly overcome with emotion.
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled too. "Haha, it's nothing. We're friends. I couldn't just stand by and let you die!"
So Ye Chen and Lan Guangxian chatted by the entrance for a while, both looking quite happy.
Half an hour passed. By then, the sun was about to rise, and Tang Sanzang, Goku, and the others woke up too. Goku noticed that Ye Chen and Lan Guangxian weren't in the cave.
He immediately went outside, and sure enough, he saw Ye Chen and Lan Guangxian chatting out there.
When Lan Guangxian saw Goku come out, he didn't say much—he simply patted Goku on the shoulder too.
Little Axi, who was inside the cave, woke up and found that her big brother wasn't beside her. Not knowing what had happened, she panicked and began to cry.
Everyone was startled, whether they were Bajie and Tang Sanzang inside the cave or Ye Chen and Lan Guangxian outside. They had no idea what was going on.
Lan Guangxian recognized the crying voice in particular.
