After saying this sentence, Wan Yuxuan's heart suddenly beat faster. At this moment, perhaps even she herself didn't notice that she, who had always been proud and arrogant, when facing this man who she had extremely disliked just a moment ago, her voice would actually tremble a little.
Fang Chen struggled to sit up and leaned against a tree. Looking at Wan Yuxuan who wanted to come forward to help but finally didn't, he said with a light smile, "I remember you said before that if I could withstand your slash, what would happen then?"
"If you can withstand my slash, I will wholeheartedly follow you." Wan Yuxuan was thinking about something in her heart. Suddenly hearing Fang Chen's question, she subconsciously answered. Even after the words had come out, she still hadn't come to her senses.
"What would you do?"
"I will wholeheartedly follow you."
"Wholeheartedly do what?"
"Wholeheartedly... follow you!" Finally coming to her senses, Wan Yuxuan looked at Fang Chen angrily. But then, as if thinking of something, she said softly, "This is the real you, right? Why hide yourself? No one can run with all their might while carrying everything. I think you must understand this truth."
Fang Chen stared blankly at this heroic girl in front of him. After a long while, he helplessly shook his head and said, "You don't understand."
"Yes, I admit that I can't empathize and understand you. But there is no one in this world who doesn't need to talk. And I believe that I will definitely be a very good listener, a listener who can keep secrets."
Looking at the natural seriousness and concern in Wan Yuxuan's expression, Fang Chen wanted to do something, but his reason told him that he couldn't. At least not now.
After looking at Wan Yuxuan apologetically, Fang Chen said indifferently, "You think too much. I don't carry anything. And there is nothing I need to talk about. Thank you for your concern."
"Then let me see your face." Wan Yuxuan looked straight into Fang Chen's eyes and said.
Their eyes met. For a long, long time. No matter what expressions flashed in Fang Chen's eyes, such as mockery, sarcasm, or even flirtation, Wan Yuxuan didn't back down at all.
Finally, Fang Chen was defeated. With a wry smile on his face and helplessness in his tone, he said, "The hatred, jealousy, and resentment of the entire Cangqing Continent are engraved on my face. Why look at such an ugly face?"
Wan Yuxuan stared fixedly at Fang Chen, wanting to see something from his face. After a long time, she could only let out a cold snort. "Then tell me, what are you doing here? As a companion, I have the obligation to remind you that loyalty and trust are the principles of traveling together!"
Loyalty? Trust? Fang Chen was stunned. After looking up at Wan Yuxuan with an expressionless face, he suddenly felt that a lot of his defenses had been removed. After pondering for a moment, he still said softly, "There is something very important to me here. But I still can't determine what it is at present. I can't even determine if it's really here."
After hearing this sentence, Wan Yuxuan, who had been observing Fang Chen all along, thought for a moment. Immediately, the coldness on her face disappeared a lot. "I believe you!" After saying that, after looking at Fang Chen's injuries up and down, she continued to ask, "How is your injury?"
"I've already taken a pill. It will be fine in a while." Fang Chen felt his physical condition. After confirming that he had almost recovered, he replied softly.
From the moment the two of them were thrown flying, Dao Xin had already started to repair Fang Chen's injuries. But later, he knocked down so many trees. The old injuries hadn't healed yet and new injuries were added. So it took more time.
"Your injury..." As a return courtesy, she asked. But just as the words came out, Fang Chen realized that he had said the wrong thing. After all, he hadn't held back before. Wan Yuxuan must have been injured to some extent. Plus, he had just admitted that he had healing pills. This...
"I'm fine." Wan Yuxuan was stunned for a moment and then gently shook her head. "I didn't expect you to be quite powerful! Honestly, if you had used sword techniques, would we have ended up in a mutual defeat?"
"No." Fang Chen said with a light smile.
Fang Chen indeed didn't lie. If he had used the Wind and Cloud Nine Swords, they definitely wouldn't have ended up in a mutual defeat. Because Wan Yuxuan would have died. Of course, there was no need to tell her this now. Because the previous fight was purely caused by Fang Chen on purpose to test his own strength.
"I plan to go over and take a look. Are you going back or coming with me?" Fang Chen slowly stood up and asked.
"Come with you." Wan Yuxuan didn't hesitate at all. Then, seeing that Fang Chen had actually stood up, she couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Are you okay?"
Good heavens, what she had used just now was the ancestral sword technique of the Wan family, the Thunderous Decree! This sword technique was left by the old ancestor of the Wan family a long time ago when he ascended. Besides, she was a whole major realm higher than Fang Chen. And she didn't hold back at all. Such an injury healed in such a short time?
"The external injuries are already fine. The internal injuries still need some time to heal." Fang Chen had already thought of these words before he was about to stand up. "It should be completely healed before the python green battlefield opens. But now I don't have any combat power at all."
Seeing the expression on Wan Yuxuan's face that seemed to say that this was more like it, Fang Chen said with a light smile, "Let's go. Let's go over and take a look."
"Okay."
Before reaching the Four-sided City, Lei Wa told Fang Chen that he could faintly feel that in the profound crystal stone vein to the south of the Four-sided City, there seemed to be a heavenly-grade profound crystal stone. Although he wasn't very sure, you should know that Lei Wa was born naturally between heaven and earth. He had a terrifying perception of all natural treasures. Even if he wasn't very sure, just relying on the words "heavenly grade", Fang Chen had to come here.
Profound crystal stones contain extremely pure heaven and earth profound energy. They can be directly refined and used for cultivation. And the higher the grade, the purer the heaven and earth profound energy contained and the greater the quantity. As for top-grade profound crystal stones, the heaven and earth profound energy contained in them can even be directly absorbed without being refined. As for heavenly-grade profound crystal stones, they exist only in legends.
Just because heavenly-grade profound crystal stones are too rare. Just like the profound crystal stone vein that surrounds three sides of the Four-sided City. Even if it hasn't been mined out for tens of thousands of years, it may not necessarily produce a heavenly-grade profound crystal stone.
It is called heavenly grade because this grade of profound crystal stone is not just simply containing heaven and earth profound energy. Instead, there are already some partial laws of heaven and earth in it. Starting from stepping into the Xuan Sheng Realm, the main cultivation is to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. So any heavenly-grade profound crystal stone is a rare treasure that strong people will fight for even if it means breaking their heads.
Before long, a huge cave entrance appeared in front of the two of them. In front of the cave entrance, there were many people who looked like laborers constantly shuttling back and forth carrying heavy loads. There were also several cultivators dressed gorgeously and holding divine weapons constantly yelling and cursing.
