A Better Future

The Elder who had previously supported Yuan Chou, upon hearing Yuan Yuan's words...

He immediately pulled Yuan Chou aside and whispered instructions:

"Young Master Yuan Chou, you can just listen to these things and leave it at that."

"Never agree to it, and absolutely never do it."

"Once we do it, there's no turning back."

"Young Master Yuan Yuan is a good person. Following him, perhaps we can have a better future!"

The Elder was a worldly man and could naturally tell that Yuan Yuan was very likely telling the truth.

Because it's true, we should all do our duty properly.

Taking advantage of someone else's kindness to do your own thing is an unfair decision no matter how you look at it.

"Don't worry, I understand. I already have someone in mind to succeed me."

"From the moment Young Master Yuan Yuan decided to take me in, I had already figured out what I should do."

"Right now, I don't have any complicated thoughts at all; I just want to support Young Master Yuan Yuan."

Yuan Chou spoke with certainty, having made his final decision.

On the battlefield.

Su Zhan dodged the Giant Dragon's fiery attacks repeatedly.

Occasionally, he couldn't dodge area-of-effect attacks, but he completely blocked them with his Spiritual Qi shield.

Such an attack was nothing to Su Zhan's defenses.

It's just a small portion of the Spiritual Qi consumed, which can be replenished quickly.

"Senior, are you really not going to have a proper talk with me?"

"Do you really want to fight me? You should be able to feel it after my counterattack!"

"I'm not an opponent you can easily defeat either. Continuing to drag this out won't do you any good."

Su Zhan's words were merely intended to provoke the Giant Dragon.

She didn't want to waste her energy continuing here.

Otherwise, even if they leave this place, they might not be able to survive other battles.

As long as they remain in the Secret Realm, who knows how many more battles they will face.

We cannot disregard everything for the sake of short-term gains.

Su Zhan was considering all aspects, which is why he kept trying to persuade the Giant Dragon not to fight him.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to be my opponent, get out of here right now!"

"I've already said it, protecting this place is my mission, and you're challenging my bottom line."

"The contents inside are of no benefit to you; even if you obtain them, they will be useless to you."

The Giant Dragon's resolve began to waver, and it started talking about what was inside the Stone Coffin.

He could sense that Su Zhan was indeed much stronger than any human he had encountered before.

Moreover, even though she knew he was no match for her, she was still willing to talk to him so much.

It's clear that Su Zhan is quite different from the humans he's encountered.

Perhaps, there's another way to preserve one's mission while preventing Su Zhan from continuing his entanglement.

Su Zhan stopped in his tracks and looked up at the location of the Giant Dragon.

"Senior, since you put it that way, why don't we make a deal?"

"If what you say is true, the contents of the Stone Coffin are of no real help to me."

"I won't take anything. I'll act like nothing happened and leave immediately."

"If you're lying, we'll keep fighting until the very end!"
