"oh??"
Hearing Ye Ran's evaluation, Wang Xianghe's eyes lit up slightly.
"Reviewed that highly??"
"What? You don't believe me?" Ye Ran turned to look at Wang Xianghe. "This kid might achieve just as much as you in the future."
Wang Xianghe stared at the alley where Qin Guangxiao had left, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head:
"It's not that I don't want to believe it, it's just too outrageous. That kid looks to be in his early twenties, and his strength shouldn't have even broken through to the Gold level yet. You want me to believe that he has a soul origin no less than mine, and that he might even break through to the World Destroyer level in the future..."
Wang Xianghe paused here, then looked at Ye Ran and continued.
"You should know that when I was his age, my strength was already vaguely on the verge of reaching the diamond level. If it weren't for the deliberate suppression by those old guys from sects and families, I would have already..."
"Alright, alright, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories..."
Ye Ran interrupted Wang Xianghe's self-praise, looked at him with a smile, and said with a hint of amusement:
"How about we make a bet?"
"What are we betting on?" Wang Xianghe looked at Ye Ran curiously.
Ye Ran then held up one finger:
"I'm betting on that supreme treasure you obtain after fully awakening your soul's essence. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a bottle..."
Hearing Ye Ran's words, Wang Xianghe's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in surprise, and he nervously clutched his chest.
"You freaking peeping tom?? No, wait, I didn't even tell Eun-jung, how did you know???"
"Never mind how you know, just tell me if it happened or not!!" Ye Ran looked at Wang Xianghe speechlessly.
Wang Xianghe squinted at Ye Ran: "You want my Jade Purification Bottle? What can you offer as a wager?"
Ye Ran confidently held up four fingers: "I can bet my four divine swords on this; they're no worse than yours, are they?"
Hearing Ye Ran say this, Wang Xianghe looked at him with a complicated expression:
"Such a big bet?? You really think so highly of him??"
Ye Ran turned to look at the alley entrance: "Why wouldn't I gamble on a game I'm guaranteed to win?"
He muttered to himself,
"He may not show off in his early years, but he will surely achieve great things in his later years. Gold will eventually shine, and no one can stop that..."
Ye Ran then turned her head and looked at Wang Xianghe:
"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to bet or not?"
Wang Xianghe smiled and shook his head:
"No gambling."
Seeing Wang Xianghe's sudden change, Ye Ran was stunned for a moment: "Not gambling anymore??"
"No gambling."
Wang Xianghe's tone was firm.
Ye Ran stared at Wang Xianghe in astonishment: "No way, you're supposed to be a world-destroying level expert, what happened to your principles??"
Looking at the astonished Ye Ran, Wang Xianghe felt a surge of inexplicable satisfaction and said smugly:
"I'm not stupid. Have any of those who go against you ended up well? You say that kid is on my level, then he must be on my level. I unconditionally trust your judgment, and I will follow in your footsteps!!"
"Don't flatter me." Ye Ran muttered under her breath, looking speechlessly at Wang Xianghe's arrogant expression.
"It's really hard to trick someone out of a bottle..."
"What did you say??"
"It's nothing." Ye Ran looked at Wang Xianghe. "You don't have to gamble, but you have to lend me your jade bottle when it's in a critical moment."
Wang Xianghe hesitated for a moment after hearing Ye Ran's words:
"It'll work, but don't break it..."
Ye Ran gave an awkward laugh: "What if it breaks..."
"Then I won't lend it to you."
"Brother, you're a world-destroying level super expert, don't be so stingy..."
"No."
"Uncle, nothing lasts forever. Maybe I can even create a new treasure for you..."
"Let me see it first, then we'll talk..."
Just as the two were arguing,
Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation flickered.
Duobao's round body appeared before the two of them.
"You're back??" Ye Ran looked at Duobao with a smile. "Why aren't you planning to continue following along?"
Duobao shook his head and looked at Ye Ran, saying:
"There's no need to continue. If I keep going, would I even be considered a good turtle...?"
Hearing Duobao's answer, Wang Xianghe asked with a curious expression:
"What did you see??"
Duobao looked at Wang Xianghe and sighed.
He was about to say something, but then sighed and didn't say anything.
She even seriously pounded her chest and stamped her feet with her little paws:
"I'm such a bad turtle. How could I have misjudged such a loving child like that..."
Just as Duobao was repenting,
Qin Guangxiao had already run out of the alley.
At this moment, he smiled and waved to Ye Ran and the others, his tone carrying a hint of flattery:
"Guys, I've got everything sorted out. Shall we set off now?"
Just as Qin Guangxiao finished speaking, a clear child's voice suddenly rang out: "Big brother, don't go!!"
Subsequently,
Scattered footsteps could be heard at the alley entrance.
Subsequently,
A group of teenagers appeared before Qin Guangxiao.
The leader was a girl in her early twenties with pigtails, her eyes red, clearly having just cried.
