Ryu looked up toward Star River with a smile and nodded.
"Thank you for saving me."
Star River had been infuriated before, though it didn't appear on her face. However, after hearing this, the irritation in her heart softened a little.
Indeed, if Ryu was in a moment of enlightenment, it wasn't good for her to interrupt it. The fact that he could stay calm with her appearance and not scramble in an attempt to please her, even if it meant losing out on his own Blessings, went to show just how firm his Dao Heart was.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that Ryu wasn't in a moment of enlightenment. And even if he had been, with his eyes, he was able to sink into such a state whenever he wanted. Plus, thanks to the Origin Flame, he could return to the exact state he had been in before any enlightenment, recreate it, and then accept the very same blessings.
He wasn't a person who could be measured by common sense.
