Fu Yueying looked pained, but she was the first to recover. She quickly said, "Everyone, casualties are inevitable. We can attribute our successful escape to Yang Chen's help. Without Yang Chen, I'm afraid the loss of Zhu Lan and Qing Zi would not have been our only problem. We of Taqing Peak must remember this kindness from Yang Chen!"
"Thank you, Young Master Yang Chen!"
"Yang Chen, thank you."
Only then did the elder disciples of Taqing Peak realize that Yang Chen had risked his life to save them, but they hadn't even said thank you yet. It was completely inappropriate in terms of both reason and morality.
They were genuinely thankful – not for any other reason, but because Yang Chen, despite being at the Fourth Level of the Heaven Martial Realm, had appeared to save them even though he might not have been discovered by the Ink Wolf Beast if he had stayed hidden. This showed that Yang Chen valued loyalty and was not something that Yuan Cheng could compare to.
