Chen Yuan's forehead creased, worried by black lines. Why did Wang Ping's words sound like he was preparing to send him away?
He whispered:
"What about Guo Xu? I heard you two have been getting quite close recently."
"Guo Xu is just a fair-weather friend. Yuan, you and I, we're like brothers from another mother," Wang Ping shook his head and muttered.
"When you grow stronger in the future, you can come looking for me then."
Chen Yuan chuckled.
"Maybe that day will come, but I doubt it. My talents are lacking, and following you I'd only hold you back..."
"That won't be the case."
"Actually, life in a small county is pretty good, stable and peaceful. Maybe one day, news of Brother Yuan's fame will reach our Ping'an County too."
Wang Ping's face was full of envy.
He admired people like Chen Yuan but acknowledged his own limitations.
"There will be such a day."
Chen Yuan, staring at the fiery red sun, was filled with confidence.
