Yun Nan Feng's refusal to accept Cloud Zhuang's offer likely stemmed from his own plans, but Jiang Chengxuan understood that this favor had to be repaid.
No matter what, it was because Yun Nan Feng chose to follow his own principles, that he could successfully refine the Golden Immortal treasure even in the face of peril.
Given Jiang Chengxuan's character, this was enough for him to regard Yun Nan Feng as one of his own.
Previously, Jiang Chengxuan had saved Yun Nan Feng because of his sympathy and his own strategic plans. But now, with this shared experience, the bond between them was deeper—truly a bond forged through life and death.
"Brother Jiang, you're too kind. If not for you, I would have already become a pile of bones. How could I have everything I have now?"
Yun Nan Feng was genuinely touched, his heart swelling with warmth. Despite becoming cold and distant due to past betrayals, he now cherished those who had helped him.
