But Zhou Yanan continued, "It's just that after seeing you, I suddenly felt that compared to the illusory pill formula of Zijin Zhenren, maybe you are our real savior."
Savior? What does that mean
Zhou Yan'an was weak and pale, but he sat up and bowed deeply to He Xi. "Master Xi, to be honest, I risked my life to save you just now because I have a favor to ask of you."
"Tell me about it."
"If I am not mistaken, Master Xi is the miracle doctor who cured Prince Ouyang."
Zhou Yanan looked at He Xi nervously, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he nodded in agreement. He then said, "After we leave the secret realm, I would like to ask you to help save someone."
Zhou Yanan's words were extremely straightforward, but He Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
What she feared most was being secretly plotted against and used as a pawn. Overt transactions and solicitations like Manager Zhou's were her favorite way of doing things.
In any case, having a clear purpose for a transaction is always better than owing someone a favor for no reason.
Thinking of this, He Xi raised his head slightly and said calmly: "Okay, I agree to your request, just as a way of repaying your favor today."
However, the boy, who was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, did not show any hesitation on his face when he spoke such arrogant words, and his eyes were surprisingly bright.
If someone else said this, it would make people think they were arrogant, but when the young man in front of him said it, Zhou Yanan just felt that it was reasonable and he was extremely happy and relieved.
While the two were talking, He Xi's expression suddenly changed slightly.
She felt that many people were coming towards her direction. The aura of each of them was very powerful and terrifying, and she couldn't tell whether they were friends or enemies.
She was just about to open her mouth to remind Zhou Yanan and Gu Liufeng above, when suddenly, Feng Lianying in the sky let out a painful howl, and the whole person floated backwards like a kite with a broken string.
There was a flash of obvious surprise in Gu Liufeng's eyes, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of interest in his smile.
The next moment, a sharp sword light filled with murderous intent slashed towards Gu Liufeng.
Gu Liufeng's expression slightly condensed, changing from the carelessness he had when fighting Feng Lianying before. He waved his right hand, emitting a blazing red sword light.
The two sword beams intersected in the sky, bursting out with a shocking energy, causing waves of spiritual energy to fluctuate throughout the entire secret space.
After the explosion, Gu Liufeng slowly fell down and staggered back a step.
The thin lips exposed outside the mask had a blood-red hue like cherry blossoms due to the surging blood.
"Young Master, are you injured?" Zhou Yan'an exclaimed and struggled to get up to treat Gu Liufeng.
Gu Liufeng smiled slightly, looked at the crowd that slowly appeared not far away with a deep gaze, and said loudly: "His Majesty the Pluto has profound cultivation, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Most of the people in that group were high-level warriors above the Jindan stage. The purple-clothed man in the lead looked anxious. He held the pale-faced Feng Lianying in his arms and shouted anxiously, "Sister Lianying, are you okay?"
Behind the man in purple, walking casually was Nangong Yu with a gloomy expression and cold eyes.
Nangong Yu's cold gaze swept across Gu Liufeng and casually fell behind him, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Xi'er, why are you here?!" Nangong Yu's voice suddenly rose to a very high pitch, and almost everyone present was startled. (To be continued)
