Yang Chen truly had no way to judge or speculate.
But he knew that Ling Yan's words were very likely not baseless.
Precisely because they were not baseless, he could not keep himself apart. The Northern Territory Sect had treated him well. A single war had injured two Great Emperor experts, and the Northern Territory Sect's situation would likely become incomparably dire in the future.
At such a point, he needed to stay all the more.
No matter what major events occurred afterward, he had to remain, because the Northern Territory Sect needed him.
This was what he, as a member of the Northern Territory Sect, ought to do. If others gave him an inch, he would return them a yard.
Yang Chen said respectfully, "I appreciate your kind intentions, Senior. However, as a human, should anything truly happen, I will certainly stand or fall together with my own sect and my own race. No matter what, I cannot bring myself to seek safety for myself alone."
Ling Yan did not seem surprised by Yang Chen's words. He let out a heavy sigh. "So be it. I merely mentioned it in passing. Since you refuse, I naturally will not force you. If you wish to come to the Golden Crow Tribe someday, you may come at any time. From top to bottom, my Golden Crow Tribe will warmly welcome you. Well then, aside from this, is there anything else you need this old man to help you with? If there is, I will settle it all for you at once. Otherwise, the next time we meet will have to be within the Golden Crow Belt."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen pondered briefly before saying, "Since you mention it, Senior, this junior has just recalled something. Please come with me!"
