"Can you handle that Demon Monarch?" Gu An asked skeptically.
Li Ya replied with a proud smirk, "I've reached Core Formation, don't underestimate me!"
"Core Formation Realm in Supreme Sect is just an Inner Sect Disciple, can you really match up to a Demon Monarch?"
"You brat, I came here specifically to protect you, and you're still picking faults?"
"I'm afraid you'll end up like you did back then, remember when you rushed to confront the Demon of Greed and Wrath and ended up injured and on the ground?"
"Can we not talk about that?"
The two began to bicker, with Gu An teasing and Li Ya not getting angry, for he could sense that Gu An meant well, fearing he would drag him down.
Little did Gu An know that his worry was not about dragging him down, but about holding him back.
Brother, if the Demon Monarch comes, with you by my side, it's hard for me to make a move!
Gu An couldn't voice his real thoughts, and with Li Ya insisting on staying, he had to let it be.
