The still of the night gradually returned to calm.
Su Ping lay on the hospital bed.
Lin Lei and Dong Muyun did not continue to disturb him but instead dispatched people to guard the door.
Looking at the snow-white ceiling, Su Ping’s thoughts slowly beca serene.
At that mont, Su Ping finally understood.
At any ti, danger and safety are relative.
In this society where Beast Tars are exceedingly powerful, no matter how you look at it, personal strength is the most important.
It could only be said that luckily Qian Yi had just completed her evolution today.
Otherwise, the odds would likely have favored misfortune.
Unless he sensed sothing wrong imdiately, stayed in the car, and didn’t get out—if he got out and the opponent summoned their Pet Beast in front of him, it would have been a sure death.
And even now, it was the sa.
Power!
Su Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he let out a light breath. He could even guess that even if Mu Yu and the others were captured, it would probably be impossible to make them pay any price.
In the past half-year, he indeed had accumulated quite a network of connections. Not to ntion in Linzhou, he could even walk sideways in Jianghai.
But when it ca to certain matters, such connections were useless.
He needed to work even harder!
Su Ping sighed.
As one’s abilities and status rose, the dangers one might face would also increase.
Only by enhancing one’s own strength could one stand tall and unyielding at any ti.
However, just as Su Ping was resolutely making up his mind, a ghostly blue light suddenly lit up on the ceiling. Like a sudden appearance of will-o’-the-wisps, it made Su Ping slightly stunned, followed by a wave of coldness throughout his body.
Many tis, such eerie things represented a type of Pet Beast: the Necromancy Series!
And Su Ping’s recent encounter with the Necromancy Series could probably be none other than Mu Yu, right?
But wasn’t Mu Yu already captured?
Did that old thing have a backup plan?
But under these circumstances, could that old thing have bypassed Dong Muyun and Lin Lei’s guard and co in directly?
Without even thinking, Su Ping picked up an object at hand and threw it out.
"Guards!"
Within the cold ghostly blue flas, a voice with a hint of a smile sounded.
"Kid, you’re quite vigilant, but don’t worry."
The voice was extrely llow, completely different from Mu Yu’s voice from before. Su Ping was slightly startled. The next mont, this cold ghostly fla slowly transford into a figure. Blue flas surrounded him, like wandering souls from the legends. Yet, they also illuminated the figure.
He looked like a very young man. Even from Su Ping’s perspective, the man before him seed to be in his twenties at most. However, those eyes that seed to also burn with blue flas held an age-deep sagacity that didn’t match his apparent youth.
The man, looking at Su Ping who was stunned on the bed, finally shifted from ethereal to physical, studying Su Ping with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad! The little fellow looks pretty good, kinda reminds of myself when I was young!"
Su Ping cast a doubtful glance at this strangely appearing man.
Who exactly was he? ’When I was young’? Isn’t he young right now?
"Who are you, sir? Charles?"
"Sir? Charles?"
The man was montarily taken aback, clearly unaccustod to such address. He then cracked a smile.
"Heh, I’m not that neither-alive-nor-dead guy; just call Leng Ye. Relax, don’t look like that. If I wanted to do anything to you, kid, you’d have been dead long ago."
The man flicked a blue fla, completely lighting up the room.
Su Ping took a deep breath.
Yes, the first person Su Ping thought of regarding this sudden visitor was none other than Charles Lee, the mysterious and powerful idol, an Undead Cultivator, ntioned in Mu Yu’s diary.
He guessed that Mu Yu’s backer might very well be this idol of his.
And since the other party was so eager to kill him, it could very well be related to Eagle Country. So, this mysterious and powerful Charles might not be averse to taking matters into his own hands!
But if not him, then who could possess such power to breach Lin Lei and Dong Muyun’s defenses and arrive here so stealthily?
However, it was clear that the man before him seed to have no intention of answering that question. Instead, he frowned slightly.
"Kid, is Charles involved in this attack you experienced? What exactly happened?"
Su Ping nodded.
"It’s just my guess, but Mu Yu and those people from Eagle Country were likely the ones who attacked ."
"Tell everything from the beginning!"
The man glanced at Su Ping.
But Su Ping was unfazed, without even a ripple of emotion.
Because he knew, from the lack of even the slightest response from outside to his actions and shouts, that in the face of this person, he truly was like a fish on the chopping block.
And clearly, this seed to be a very formidable figure.
Su Ping didn’t harbor any adolescent resentnt about his own weakness.
How old was he? How old were these old monsters involved this ti? Thinking such useless thoughts was purely looking for trouble.
