Xian Tian's heart sank even further at those words. The dragon's cynical view had shattered the naive idealism he once held.
The stronger you are, the lonelier you become...
Those words echoed in his mind, striking a deep chord within him.
How could he have been so blind? So foolish to believe in the loyalty and sincerity of others?
Gripping the he. of his clothes, Xian Tian let out a heavy sigh.
'You speak the truth, Senior Dragon. I have been a fool, allowing my emotions to cloud my judgment,'
He looked up to the dark sky, his eyes hardened with resolve.
'No more. From this day forth, I shall trust no one but myself. The riches and knowledge of the labyrinth shall be mine, and mine alone,'
The dragon let out a deep, rumbling chuckle.
