Who Deceived Whom

After discussing with the Gravekeeper, Dan Chen left on his own and found a secluded spot to start practicing. However, he hadn't been seated for long when he saw Ding Mingyi, who looked nervous, approaching from a distance.

"Dan Chen!" Ding Mingyi hurried to Dan Chen's side, visibly relieved, and said, "I'm glad you're here. I was afraid you would really challenge the Initial Martial Realm Grade Nine puppet for a Longevity Fruit."

While Ding Mingyi's words seemed sincere, a trace of reluctance shone in the depths of his eyes.

Dan Chen couldn't help but sneer at someone like Ding Mingyi, who was inconsistent with his words. "Thanks for your concern, Senior Dan. I do plan to challenge the Initial Martial Realm Grade Nine puppet, but not right now."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Ding Mingyi's expression brightened, and he asked, "Dan Chen, have you made up your mind?"
