Chapter 1614: Destiny Has Decided
Ye Guan had no idea what Xi Zhong was thinking. What he'd said earlier was simply the truth; he really couldn't summon the Divinity.
If I could, why would I still be wasting time with these people?
I'd have wiped them all out by now!
Screw this!
Putting up with this nonsense?
Ye Guan could sense Xi Zhong's change in attitude. Glancing at him and catching the look in his eyes, Ye Guan immediately saw through his thoughts. He smiled faintly and said, "Hall Master Xi, if you feel like this ship is sinking, no one will blame you for jumping off and finding another ride. I understand."
Xi Zhong shook his head. "Divine Emissary, I admit, I panicked. It was just the instinct to survive. I hope you'll forgive me."
Ye Guan looked at him, a little surprised.
Xi Zhong revealed a bitter smile. "I won't lie to you. Everyone wants to live, especially us old monsters. Not only do we want to live, we also want power and status, but..."
He looked into the distance, toward the ever-growing crowd around the woman in white. In a softer voice, he continued, "But I choose to believe you really are the Divine Emissary."
Ye Guan raised a brow. "Why's that?"
Xi Zhong turned to him and smiled. "Because if I don't, then I have no chance of surviving."
