Seeing the expression on Han Yan'er's face, Yang Zhen knew that he had no choice but to explain.
Anyway, Gan Bu and the others were all communicating telepathically, discussing some kind of conspiracy. Yang Zhen casually explained telepathically, "It's just a guess, a kind of intuition similar to your women's sixth sense. It's hard to explain completely, but these people are extraordinary. Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they must know about the Savage Wilderness Ancient Land, and even know how to enter it."
"You can guess all of this?" Han Yan'er was clearly still a little skeptical!
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "I don't know how much of our conversation they overheard, but from the beginning, they didn't seem to ask us about our knowledge of the Savage Wilderness Ancient Land Savage Wilderness Ancient Land, which means their understanding of it is definitely deeper than anyone else's."
Han Yan'er was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreement with Yang Zhen's words, and asked, "Then why did they take us with them so easily? Aren't they afraid that we also have an extraordinary background?"
Yang Zhen smiled, glanced at Gan Bu and the others, and said, "This is yet another kind of appearance; you can consider it part of the profound principles of all things."
At this point, Yang Zhen explained, "The fact that they were willing to talk to us proves that what they said was true. Before they left, their master did tell them to make many good connections, and at the very least, to recruit some powerful people to enter the Savage Wilderness Ancient Land together."
"Why?"
Han Yan'er's question proves that she already understands.
Although Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er looked travel-worn and had indeed been on the move for some time, they both appeared to be powerful individuals. If what Yang Zhen said was true, then Gan Bu and the others had no reason to let such young and powerful people go.
Yes, why?
Why cultivate good relationships and befriend strong individuals to enter this realm together?
Yang Zhen winked at Han Yan'er and said, "You just said it yourself, Great Saint Fengli has no good intentions. He made us enter the Desolate Savage Wilderness Ancient Land Savage Wilderness Ancient Land because... there must be dangers there that we can't handle?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yan'er's heart skipped a beat. She stared intently at Yang Zhen and asked, "These... were all deduced from our brief encounter just now?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback and said, "Of course it's true, I don't even know them."
Han Yan'er rolled her eyes at Yang Zhen, and as if summarizing, said, "You're truly a monster!"
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "You flatter me!"
Han Yan'er suppressed a laugh and asked curiously, "Since they think we are strong, why are they not wary of us at all? Aren't they afraid that after bringing us into the Savage Wilderness Ancient Land, we will obtain the Savage Wilderness Inheritance, while they will have made a wasted trip?"
Yang Zhen shook his head, looked at the somewhat unfathomable Que Ling, and said, "It's not that we're unprepared, it's just that these people are very confident in their own strength, especially that woman named Que Ling. I can't see through her."
"Even you can't see through it?" Han Yan'er's face showed a hint of surprise as she asked, "If a fight breaks out, how confident are you?"
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said, "If we really fight, I can send her flying with a single finger, yelling that she can't take it anymore. But if we fight to the death, it's hard to say. This woman definitely has something to rely on; it's either Spirit Treasure or a secret technique."
Han Yan'er took a deep breath and said, "You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve too."
Yang Zhen winked smugly and said, "So we weren't on guard at all."
The world is a bustling place, driven by self-interest. Whether it's Yang Zhen or Que Ling and the others, the common human trait is that they want to make friends before entering the Savage Wilderness Ancient Land, rather than become enemies afterward. This is a subconscious tendency to gravitate towards anything that benefits them.
Han Yan'er knew Yang Zhen must have something on his mind, and said with a smile, "There's one last question: how do they know we'll help them, and not stab them in the back?"
Yang Zhen looked at Han Yan'er approvingly and said, "This is what happens when you're caught in the web of life and have no choice in what you do. Think about it, if these people encounter enemies and those enemies attack without saying a word, what would we do?"
Han Yan'er was taken aback, narrowed her eyes, and began to sized up Gan Bu and the others.
If someone were to rush up and attack without saying a word, they would definitely assume that Yang Zhen and Gan Bu were together, and naturally there would be no reason for them to let them go.
In other words, if this situation were to occur, Yang Zhen would be caught between fighting and not fighting, and would ultimately have to stand together with Gan Bu and the others, at the very least to save his own life.
This was Gan Bu and his group's plan.
Everything has two sides. Befriending Yang Zhen is more beneficial than harmful, so why not?
Yang Zhen was pondering what benefits he could gain from these people when Han Yan'er stepped forward, took Yang Zhen's hand, and smiled at Gan Bu and the others.
Gan Bu, a humble man, laughed heartily upon seeing this and said, "May I ask your esteemed names?"
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "My name is Yang Tiezhu, and this is my younger sister, Han Caihua."
Que Ling looked at Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er with some curiosity, and said with a half-smile, "It seems that the two of you are not just siblings."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's face immediately turned ugly. Protecting Han Yan'er, he said with a look of vigilance and embarrassment, "You... how did you figure that out? You... you know us?"
This sudden acting outburst caught not only Gan Bu and Que Ling off guard, but even Han Caihua behind them was stunned. After recovering, she slapped Yang Zhen in an annoyed manner.
With a hearty smile, Gan Bu waved his hand and said, "Brother Yang, there's no need to be so nervous. We mean no harm, and we don't know you two at all. Here, nobody cares what your relationship is."
Oh shit!
Yang Zhen secretly gave Gan Bu the middle finger; it would be strange if no one cared what their relationship was.
Why did that Little Dao Addict suddenly come up and grab this Sage of Saunter's hand? Don't you have any conscience?
It must be that this old bastard's eyes are a bit too irritating, which is why Han Yan'er decided to put an end to his hopes.
Thinking about this, Yang Zhen felt a bit cheated and stared straight at Que Ling.
Que Ling was born with the air of a lady from a noble family. Her figure and demeanor were both outstanding, no less than Han Yan'er's. However, her mind was a bit complicated, which made people feel uneasy about getting close to her.
Yang Zhen wasn't afraid of her being complicated; she always felt she hadn't been taken advantage of until she saw the truth.
However, Gan Bu was a True Person gentleman. After Han Yan'er took Yang Zhen's hand, he stopped paying much attention to Han Yan'er.
Who could blame Han Yan'er for being naturally beautiful? Yang Zhen a man, and he understood men best.
Ha, men!
Que Ling seemed to realize Yang Zhen's gaze, paused for a moment, and then turned her head away.
Everyone had their own thoughts, Yang Zhen's gaze never left Que Ling throughout the journey.
Whenever Que Ling turned to look at Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen would grin, looking as simple and honest as a silly boy next door.
