An Jiuyue looked at him and asked, “You’re saying that every country has a Guardian Family?”
“Yes, Mistress.” Yan Qin nodded.
“Every country has a Guardian Family. This camp has people of over a hundred different races. Some come from our continent, while others come from other continents.
“We don’t know which continents everyone comes from because no one cares. Everyone always worked together to kill demonic beasts.
“We know which people are from the same continent, of course. In short, we all have the same goal. We all want the people on our continent to live in peace.”
An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows in understanding.
Simply put, there were many planes in this world, and Huayan Peak was a loophole that connected all of them.
Demonic Beasts from the World of Demonic Beasts wanted to wreak havoc in other planes, while the people from other planes were guardians, right?
“Is Ye Chengzong stronger than you?” she asked.
Could she conclude that Ye Chengzong was stronger than Yan Qin because he could save him?
“No.” Yan Qin shook his head.
How could he accompany their master if Ye Chengzong was stronger than him and could only stay at Huayan Peak as a captain?
He answered honestly, “Ye Chengzong is considered powerful in our camp, but he’s inferior to me.”
He was not boasting. Ye Chengzong was naturally inferior to him.
“Then how did he save you?” An Jiuyue asked.
Yan Qin was not uncomfortable talking about this, but he did feel a little embarrassed.
“We weren’t that powerful back then and encountered a few strong demonic beasts. I was the captain and was in charge of holding off the demonic beasts so everyone could escape,” he explained.
An Jiuyue finally understood.
Yan Qin was in charge of a team back then, and they came across powerful demonic beasts. He told his teammates to leave first while he stayed behind to stall the demonic beasts.
The demonic beasts, however, were far too powerful, and Yan Qin nearly died. Fortunately, Ye Chengzong persuaded everyone to return together and retrieve him, who had been critically injured.
The few people Ye Chengzong returned with also worked together to kill the demonic beasts.
An Jiuyue was embarrassed after hearing his explanation.
That was all Ye Chengzong did. But Yan Qin believed he had saved him?
“Think about it this way, Yan Qin. They would have died if you hadn’t stopped the demonic beasts.”
“But they also killed all the demonic beasts later,” Yan Qin said.
“But could they have killed the demonic beasts if you hadn’t fatally wounded them while critically injured?” An Jiuyue asked.
“Uh…” Yan Qin was stunned.
On second thought, she had a point.
Ye Chengzong and the others could only kill the demonic beasts because he had seriously injured them.
“I think… you’re right.”
“So you saved them first, and they saved you later. Ye Chengzong did not save you. You saved everyone on your team.
“Then you gave them a chance to save you. To put it bluntly, you saved your life. Do you understand?” An Jiuyue explained to Yan Qin.
