"However, I believe that although I'm still very young, we've already become sworn brothers. I see you as my best brother, so there's no need for us to fuss over such things anymore, right?"
Ouyang Jian said this because he placed great trust in Uchiha Hikaru, and Uchiha Hikaru, in turn, said that he trusted Ouyang Jian deeply as well. Since they trusted each other, there was no hardship they could not overcome.
"Of course. I see you as my own brother, so there's no need to say such polite things to me. If you speak to me so formally, then you must be treating me like an outsider."
"So I hope you can understand what I truly feel. I truly hope that you can get better. These external difficulties are only temporary forms; as long as you slowly get through them, everything will be fine."
Uchiha Hikaru was indeed as Ouyang Jian had said. He had given up a great deal of hope for himself. In truth, Uchiha Hikaru also felt that now that he had so much power, it should be used where it was truly needed.
Thus, he desperately wanted to purge the toxins from Ouyang Jian's body and continue onward. But after some time, he discovered that the toxins within Ouyang Jian were far from as simple as he had imagined.
He truly could now heal all things and solve every problem, and he knew he had the ability to resolve this completely. But he felt that if the toxins were truly expelled from Ouyang Jian's body, it would go against a certain will.
If such a thing truly happened, it would be absolutely unacceptable. Uchiha Hikaru could imagine the scale of the disaster it would bring, so he did not consider it a safe method.
