He spoke with genuine sincerity, without a hint of falsehood.
Yang Huai'an asked himself: if he had been the one to face a White Bone Giant alone, he surely would have been no match for it.
He would have been incredibly lucky just to survive, dragging out the fight until the drug wore off at the cost of grievous injuries.
But then he looked at Xiao Chen. His breathing was steady and his complexion rosy; it was obvious he hadn't been injured at all.
Even his Magic Robe was completely unscathed; there was no sign he had just been through a massive battle.
The thought made Yang Huai'an feel all the more inadequate, and a desire to befriend Xiao Chen took root in his heart.
He therefore took the initiative to stay behind and help fill in the craters left by the battle.
He then acted as a messenger, returning to the Lingyuan Sect to contact a Verification Envoy to come tally the Merit.
