"Brother Luo, you've misunderstood , Xu Fan. I only spoke with admiration, seeing Brother Luo's unparalleled courage. How could I possibly show any disrespect to Brother Luo?"
"For the cultivators of Huaxia, Brother Luo stepped forward bravely, leading by example, even risking his own life. Such courage, I, Xu Fan, cannot compare..."
Right now, Xu Fan was pouring out flattering words to placate Luo Yan's emotions, almost saying that Xu Fan's admiration for Luo Yan flowed like the roaring Yellow River and Yangtze River, never-ending.
With Xu Fan speaking to this extent, Luo Yan naturally found it embarrassing to continue being obstinate. Even though his heart was still terribly displeased, he subdued his emotions.
However, just at this mont, a voice filled with anger and questioning abruptly sounded, pushing the warming atmosphere straight back into a cold abyss.
"Xu Fan! You're so powerful! Why didn't you act sooner? Because of you, so many of us died!"
Everyone turned their heads, furious, in the direction of the voice. Even Luo Yan's face had turned extrely grim!
Their angry glares did not subdue this young man, but instead, seed to agitate him further, making his face flush red as his only hand trembled, his eyes filled with rage as he stared at Xu Fan.
In this battle with the exotic beasts, this young man had lost an arm.
"Xu Fan! Since you're first on the Earth List! Since you have the power to drive those foreign devils away! Why did you wait until so many of us died to act? Why ignore the exotic beasts and chase a few insignificant foreign monks?"
"I think, you, Xu Fan, aren't fit to be a Huaxia cultivator at all!"
Clearly, this young man blad the pain and anger of losing his arm entirely on Xu Fan.
At this mont, Xu Fan said nothing, standing in place, coldly watching the furious young man.
Whether Xu Fan was fit to be a Huaxia cultivator was not sothing this young man could decide. As a fellow Huaxia cultivator, Xu Fan had already done everything he could. As for the young man's lost arm, although Xu Fan felt sorry, he felt no guilt.
From the mont everyone entered this relic, their lives were in their own hands. Life wasn't sustained by relying on another's protection or pity, but by one's own strength and wisdom!
And this young man, blaming his lost arm on Xu Fan, was simply laughable.
If it weren't for Xu Fan's intervention, how could this young man still be alive, standing here, questioning Xu Fan?
Xu Fan remained silent, but that didn't an others could hold back. At this mont, Aniu and others stepped forward, equally furious, questioning the young man.
"Insolent! Is Xu Fan your father? Why should he care if you live or die?"
"Young master, still thinking he's at ho, does everyone have to pamper you?"
"Xu Fan saved your life, yet instead of being grateful, you act like a traitor! Who's unfit to be a Huaxia cultivator?"
The crowd's mocking rebukes only made the young man angrier.
Those qualified to enter this relic are all regarded as super talents in the outside world, most with remarkable backgrounds. This young man was evidently one of them.
"Do you know who I am? I'm Ji Wuye! You dare talk to like this? Believe it or not, once we're out of this relic, I'll cripple every single one of you!"
Ji Wuye's furious roar made everyone pause for a mont, then they all burst into contemptuous laughter.
"Ji Wuye, never heard of you!"
"The Ji Family, are they really so powerful that they can all cripple us?"
"Fool! Saying that, do you still think you'll walk out of this relic alive? You're pushing us to cripple you first!"
Who were these people? The elites of the major cultivation forces in Huaxia! The best among the young generation, almost representing Huaxia's major forces!
If Ji Wuye had said those words outside to a bunch of cultivators with no background, it might've been effective, but inside this relic, among others with equally notable backgrounds, it held no threat.
"Damn it! You'll all pay! Soday, I will..."
Slap!
Before Ji Wuye could finish, a figure swiftly appeared in front of him, delivering a fierce slap to his face, cutting off his harsh words.
Seeing this figure, everyone, including Ji Wuye, gasped.
This figure was Luo Yan!
Ji Wuye's background might indeed be strong, but in front of Luo Yan, it ant nothing! In Huaxia, only four Hidden World Families were at the overlord level, and one of them was the Luo Family!
At this mont, Luo Yan's face was icy, his voice as chilling as if it ca from Jiuyou, terrifyingly cold.
"Apologize to Xu Fan."
Hearing Luo Yan's words, everyone was stunned.
Earlier, Luo Yan had an unfriendly attitude toward Xu Fan, so why suddenly stand on his side?
Ji Wuye was even more bewildered. From his words, he indeed appeared brainless, but how many who could enter this relic were ordinary?
Ji Wuye saw Luo Yan's displeasure with Xu Fan and wanted to cater to it, but had no idea of the true reason for Luo Yan's displeasure with Xu Fan.
Earlier, Luo Yan indeed seed unfriendly toward Xu Fan, even quite rude! But that was Luo Yan! Apart from Luo Yan, none of these people had any relationship with Xu Fan, who had the right to speak ill of him?
Even Luo Yan, after nearly dying from one of Xu Fan's punches, had earned the qualification to be impolite!
In truth, Luo Yan's previous anger was more self-directed, rooted in deep helplessness and despair. Ji Wuye had simply hit the wrong nerve!
"I-I'm sorry."
Ji Wuye turned red, apologizing to Xu Fan, before fleeing in disgrace into the distance.
Now, Ji Wuye had not only offended everyone but had thoroughly lost face, and couldn't remain in this team any longer.
Watching Ji Wuye's retreating figure, the crowd held no sympathy in their eyes, as it was all Ji Wuye's own doing!
"Xu Fan! Today, you've saved my life, Luo Yan's! I don't like owing favors!"
"This Fire Spirit Fruit is yours!"
