"What, you don't believe in my strength?"
Hearing Gu Yue say that, Su Chen had a pretty good idea what was going on.
As expected, Gu Yue's inexplicable distance from him wasn't his fault. It was a problem of her own.
"Mm..."
Gu Yue fell silent.
It wasn't that she didn't believe in Su Chen's strength. She was clearly afraid of him.
Su Chen was simply too powerful. If he continued growing stronger, the Soul Beasts would never have a chance to rise again.
But she couldn't bring herself to hurt Su Chen, much less tell Di Tian and the others about him.
All she wanted now was to avoid the issue.
Once she had calmed down, she could make plans slowly.

Su Chen suddenly spoke, his voice low.

Gu Yue was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.
"How about this? Let's make a deal..."
Su Chen spoke slowly. "Give me five years. Then you can tell me your secret, and by then, I'll definitely give you an answer you're satisfied with."
Of course, he didn't really need five years. But the more time he had, the more room there was for error.

"Then what can I do? I'll be yours~"
Su Chen shrugged.

"Yeah. If I can't solve it, then I lose. You can decide what happens after that." Su Chen spoke seriously.
"Good. It's a deal!"
At that, Gu Yue hurriedly agreed, afraid Su Chen might take it back.
