Boss... that title plunged Lu Xinghe into deep thought.
He even began to wonder whether Yi Tian's actions were part of some conspiracy.
But the War of Supremacy's results screen and the information in the Ten Thousand Races Rankings could not be faked. He knew that perfectly well.
Besides, Yi Tian was with the Time Cat, which showed that Headquarters trusted him deeply. Otherwise, they would never have placed such an important Transcendent Forbidden Object by his side.
Taken together, these signs made Lu Xinghe less wary of Yi Tian.
Yet he still could not understand how someone like this had appeared in Great Xia!
The man seemed even more like a savior than he did, and he was the savior foretold by the Prophecy!
Just then, Yi Tian noticed Lu Xinghe's conflicted expression and extended a hand to him with a smile.
"Stop wallowing. Come join me..."
"I'll lead you in saving Great Xia!"
"You've seen it yourself. Great Xia is doing far better now than you expected. It's not completely hopeless."
"..."
Yi Tian's words brought a sudden glimmer back to Lu Xinghe's despondent eyes, which had seemed shrouded in gray mist. Hope stirred anew deep in his heart!
How could he truly abandon what he had once been so passionately determined to save, just because he said he would?
Lu Xinghe really could not let go.
That wildfire of fighting spirit still burned in his heart.
At the same time, he did not want to disappoint Shi Yi. He wanted to bring Shi Yi along to take revenge on the enemies who had once tormented them!
"I..."
Lu Xinghe was about to speak when he suddenly paused. His tone grew hesitant again, and he turned his head with a sigh.
"No, we're still far too far behind."
