Ge Qing looked at the refined gentleman and slowly said, "Have any of you considered what it would mean for our Divine Fire Academy if Ye Chen were not dead and we let something happen to his friend just like that?
Ye Chen, I understand him well. He regards our Divine Fire Academy as a second home. If anyone were to harm the Divine Fire Academy, Ye Chen would definitely stand up for it.
But what if even we betray Ye Chen at this time?"
Ge Qing knew his thoughts were unrealistic. Wu Ming, who ranked first in the Profound Ascension Rankings, as well as the three Great Void beings from the Xu family, were not so easily deceived.
Ye Chen not dead... That outcome was nearly a fantasy.
Yet even so, after struggling these past few days, Ge Qing still couldn't bring himself to believe that Ye Chen was just dead.
Perhaps it was his stubbornness, his blind superstition, or he was just fooling himself.
