Looking at Qin Chen's departing figure, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Originally, Qin Chen was just a friend brought back by Young Lady Fang Mu Ling, but now the Lord of the Manor wanted to meet this person personally. What did this mean?
"This kid... hmph." Ancient War God’s eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness.
"Elder Uncle Gu Zhan." The Young Master of the Four Directions awkwardly approached Ancient War God’s side. Just as he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Ancient War God: "Young Master, don’t say too much. Follow me."
With that, he took the Young Master of the Four Directions and vanished from the spot in an instant, leaving Li Long and the other Heavenly Prodigies exchanging glances.
Qin Chen and the Exquisite Goddess followed Manager Li as they moved forward.
This time, no one dared to obstruct them.
"Young Hero Qin, it was this old servant's failure to protect you previously, allowing Ancient War God to take action against you. I hope you can forgive me," Li Lao explained softly along the way.
"This matter is not Li Lao's fault," Qin Chen said with a smile, "There’s no need to dwell on it."
When Ancient War God acted earlier, Qin Chen keenly sensed an astounding aura erupting from Manager Li’s body. This aura was subtle yet astonishing, clearly indicating that Li Lao was definitely a master.
The fact that he was willing to step forward was enough; Qin Chen didn’t expect him to risk everything to confront Ancient War God on his behalf.
"Young Hero Qin, I will report this matter in detail to the Lord of the Manor later. I will ensure you are not wronged in the slightest," Manager Li said quietly.
Qin Chen shook his head, "There’s no need. It is what it is."
"You should be cautious, Young Hero. The father of the Young Master of the Four Directions, God of the Four Directions, is one of the few top experts in our Abyssal Manor, second only to the Lord of the Manor. Ancient War God is also a half-step transcendence master. Although you are exceptionally talented, you are still just at the half-step transcendence stage," Manager Li added.
"Just the transcendence realm? What is there to fear? No matter how strong the opponent, can they surpass reason? Besides..."
Qin Chen smiled at Manager Li, "Aren't you here to support me?"
He wasn’t sure what level of cultivation Manager Li possessed, but he had a feeling that his strength was likely not weaker than Ancient War God’s.
Manager Li was taken aback by Qin Chen’s response.
This guy is interesting, showing none of the arrogance that other Heavenly Prodigies had.
If it were someone like Li Long, they would certainly stubbornly insist on resolving everything by themselves, but making such a choice would only lead to self-inflicted suffering.
This child faced Ancient War God without being humble or arrogant, not fearing him at all. His earlier fighting spirit was definitely not just for show; he truly dared to fight.
And yet, when facing himself, he was so humble that it was hard to see him as a genius capable of surviving an attack from a transcendent expert, completely devoid of arrogance and tyranny.
This child is extraordinary!
For the first time, Manager Li had such a perception of a young person, different from all the young prodigies of their Abyssal Manor. He possessed an inexplicable demeanor.
His broad-mindedness was capable of encompassing the Sea of Stars.
Who exactly nurtured such a top genius?
"Rest assured, Young Hero Qin. Since you have said so, this old servant will naturally not stand by idly," Manager Li smiled and gestured to continue walking, "Young Hero Qin, Exquisite Goddess, please."
"Please, Manager Li."
Under Manager Li’slead, Qin Chen and the Exquisite Goddess swiftly headed towards the grand palace deep within the Abyssal Manor.
The Abyssal Manor was immense, and even with Qin Chen’s eyesight, he couldn’t see its end. It was layered with countless spaces, and to make a complete circle would take no less than ten days to half a month.
