If it wasn't certain death, then there was a chance of survival. The old man was naturally delighted.
Looks like he'd given the technique at the right time.
Jun Xinlan said, "So this is what people mean when they say there's life after death."
"Your Death Tribulation, which had been certain to kill you, really did loosen when you gave him the technique."
"I suppose the man named Wang Yu was the one who eased your Death Tribulation."
"As long as you don't leave this place, you should be safe from death."
The old man gaped in disbelief. "The man named Wang Yu eased my Death Tribulation, which was certain to kill me?"
"How did he do that?"
Jun Xinlan said, "Everything has its cause and effect. The technique you gave him was the cause, and your Death Tribulation loosening was the effect. Those things are certain."
"As for how that cause produced this effect, we have no way of knowing."
"After all, we can't know how the man named Wang Yu eased your Death Tribulation."
The old man said, "As long as I'm not certain to die, that's good enough. As long as I'm not certain to die, that's good enough. I still have plenty of years to enjoy."
Jun Xinlan said, "That's true. If you can't figure something out, there's no point dwelling on it."
"Now that the other person has left, I should go collect what I'm owed."
Then, Jun Xinlan found Long Aotian in the Ruins.
Jun Xinlan said, "The person we made our bet about has left. I won. Shouldn't you hand over what you lost to me?"
Long Aotian's expression darkened. Just now, tens of thousands of Players had turned the Ruins upside down while searching for Wang Yu, but they hadn't found him.
