Not only was everyone unable to understand, but even Zhu Qilue couldn't immediately grasp why he spoke up for Lin Fan and defended him.
Clearly, this matter had no benefit for him; if examined closely, it might even pose some drawbacks.
Lin Fan had gravely injured him, then healed him—a matter that could be considered an extraordinary insult for someone from the Five Elements Realm.
It's like being saved by the trash you despise most in life, a feeling mixed with shame, helplessness, and anger—a very complex sensation that Zhu Qilue was experiencing now.
If it were another person, he would rather die than be treated by them. But no one else had Lin Fan's power and couldn't hurt him in the first place.
He had to admit, he truly admired Lin Fan.
This guy gave off a unique aura that made people unconsciously want to approach him, to befriend him, even though he was just someone from the Sumeru Continent whom he didn't care for.
Deathly silence.
