The instant Shi Lan's voice sounded in her mind, Qing Lan's brows jumped, and she instinctively felt a little flustered.
Ever since she had boarded this warship, she had sensed that Shi Lan would never pretend not to see her.
Just as she was thinking of how to reply, Qing Lan's gaze shifted. When she glanced at Ying Qianqiu beside her, a flash of inspiration struck. She discreetly pointed at him and sent a message to explain, "I'm only repaying him a favor."
"A favor?" Shi Lan's brows drew together. What favor could be more important than one's life?
"Do you know what kind of place the Divine Martial Otherworld is?"
Shi Lan looked at Ying Qianqiu, her gaze faintly unfriendly. For a moment, she even suspected Qing Lan had been deceived. This man's origins were unknown, his identity and background unclear, and he was entangled with Emperor Linglong. Now, for some inexplicable reason, he had appeared in Divine Martial, carrying far too many secrets and unanswered questions.
At this, Qing Lan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose not to hide anything. She told Shi Lan everything about the conflict between the Heavenly Fire Immortal Dynasty and the Buddhist sect, as well as how she had been protected by the great figure behind Ying Qianqiu.
Why was it the Buddhist sect again...
Shi Lan gently kneaded the space between her brows, a trace of irritation rising in her heart. Ever since arriving in the Divine Martial Great World, she seemed to have been at odds with the Buddhist sect, finding herself entangled with them time and again.
She asked no more questions, merely closing her eyes and waiting in silence.
Not long afterward, the enormous warship shuddered and slowly came to a stop. Hundreds of millions of miles away
