Chapter 3827: Valuing Relationships and Righteousness

"Gong Ze, you have reached your limit. If you continue, you will die," Xiao Fan said seriously, his gaze burning as he looked at Gong Ze.

"I am not afraid, Brother Bufan. This may be my last chance, and I do not want to live like a cripple!" Gong Ze shook his head firmly, wearing an expression of someone unafraid of death.

"Brother Bufan, you should leave. You have already helped me enough; you cannot keep taking risks with me."

"No… Brother Gong Ze, I admire you very much. A heaven-favored genius like you cannot die here," Xiao Fan shook his head firmly.

"Brother Bufan, my Foundation is already ruined, so what heaven-favored genius? Stop mocking me, Brother Bufan. You should leave," Gong Ze shook his head with a bitter smile.

He had already decided that even if he were to die beneath the cold pool, he must find the billion-year ice ginseng.

"Brother Gong Ze, I have decided to help you!" Xiao Fan patted Gong Ze on the shoulder.

"Brother Bufan, you… I won't say too much. If we can leave here alive, I, Gong Ze, will serve you like a beast of burden to repay you," Gong Ze said seriously.

"Rest assured, we will both live!" Xiao Fan exhaled and said in a deep voice, "In your current state, staying here is just a hindrance. You leave first, and I will go find the billion-year ice ginseng for you!"

"What?!" Hearing this, Gong Ze was greatly shocked and said in disbelief, "Brother Bufan, stop joking. This was originally my affair; there is no need for you to keep taking risks because of me. If something happens to you, then even if I manage to survive, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

"Hehehe… do you really think I, Bufan, am someone who dies so easily? You underestimate me too much," Xiao Fan grinned, then infused a wisp of Chixiao Demon Flame into Gong Ze's body.

"Wait for me above…" After saying this, Xiao Fan threw Gong Ze out directly.

Gong Ze had just suffered heavy injuries and was currently in a near-death state. He could not resist Xiao Fan at all and was thrown out of the cold pool by him.

…

The next moment, Gong Ze flew directly out of the cold pool.

By the cold pool, Yan Si, Yuan Yanbin, and the others were all stunned and looked in unison at Gong Ze who had flown out.

"Gong Ze, how is it? Did you get the billion-year ice ginseng?" Wan Xuefeng asked anxiously.

"Where is Bufan? Where is he?!" Yan Si asked anxiously.

The others were also curious, not knowing what had happened beneath the cold pool.

The next moment, Gong Ze landed directly beside the cold pool, his face looking extremely ugly.

"I… I didn't get the billion-year ice ginseng. Bufan, he… he went to find the billion-year ice ginseng for me," Gong Ze exhaled a breath of cold air and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Yan Si and the others were all shocked.

"You… you mean Bufan went to find the billion-year ice ginseng for you? And you left first!" Yan Si said in disbelief.

Gong Ze nodded, not saying a word.

"This… is this guy crazy?" Yan Si was furious; he had not expected Xiao Fan to be so foolish.

This matter originally had nothing to do with him. Yet not only did Xiao Fan accompany Gong Ze into the cold pool, but now he even let Gong Ze leave while he himself went to find the billion-year ice ginseng for Gong Ze.

If something happens later, what should be done?!

Hearing this, the others were also moved… even Yuan Yanbin, who did not get along with Xiao Fan, had a deeply moved expression at this moment.

"He… he is actually this loyal and righteous." Yuan Yanbin muttered, a trace of guilt actually arising in his heart.

"I… it's all my fault!" Gong Ze's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth hard. "I must go back down; I cannot let Bufan take risks alone!"

However, everyone could clearly see Gong Ze's current state; he couldn't even stand steadily. If Gong Ze were allowed to go down, it would definitely be a path to death.

"No, Gong Ze, you cannot take any more risks!" Wan Xuefeng said in a deep voice.

"That's right. If you go down now, not only will you be unable to help Bufan, but you will instead become a burden to him," Zhong Xia said slowly.

"Yes, Gong Ze, just stay outside honestly and don't go in to cause more trouble for Bufan," Yan Si exhaled and shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Yan Si felt deeply regretful. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would definitely have stopped Xiao Fan from coming here.

But now that things had already become like this, he could only hope that Xiao Fan would be safe and sound.

"This… alright." Gong Ze exhaled and looked toward the bottomless cold pool, praying in his heart that Xiao Fan would be safe and sound.

To the side, the Great Elder of the Indigenous People of Ancient Cold River sneered and shook his head in disdain.

Seeing the expression of the Great Elder of the Indigenous People, Yan Si was furious in his heart and punched out directly, the powerful wave of Qi causing the Great Elder of the Indigenous People to vomit blood.

"Old man, if you laugh again, I will kill you!"

"I won't laugh, I won't laugh anymore," the Great Elder of the Indigenous People shook his head, but in his heart, he was extremely disdainful.

This cold pool was their Holy Land; outsiders who entered would only meet death!

The brat who just escaped from inside was only lucky to have survived… In the eyes of the Great Elder of the Indigenous People, Xiao Fan was a dead man!
