A Reasonable Judgment

Seeing his injured teammates return, Ye Chen's expression unconsciously eased somewhat, yet he did not speak to them at once.

That was because, aside from Oko, the looks Weimeng and the other three gave Ye Chen were all somewhat off, causing the atmosphere to undergo a subtle change at that very moment.

The two sides stared at each other wordlessly for several seconds before Weimeng broke the silence. With a grave expression, he was the first to address Oko, who stood close beside Ye Chen.

"Oko, I clearly told you earlier not to approach Ye Chen lightly."

Oko answered calmly.

"He's fine. I can feel it. He's still himself."

After hearing this, Weimeng gave no reply and instead questioned Ye Chen.

"I see."

Beside him, Xiya, Firona, and Erigat remained silent, their eyes all flickering with hesitation and concern.

"Then I have another question for you, Ye Chen."

Weimeng's gaze struggled for a moment before he pursued the matter in a composed tone.

"Xiya told me that your body had just suffered a great number of injuries."

"Yet before Xiya's power could fully cover you, all your injuries healed themselves before she could act. And now, I can't even find a single obvious trace on your body."

But when all was said
