A good person may have done some things against their conscience, and a bad person may sometimes act more like a good person than a good person.
Therefore, Chen Hua does not want his disciples to solely rely on bits and pieces of information to understand a person, as that would surely lead to big losses in the future.
"According to you, Master, Gu Chengan is not really our partner; it's just a relationship of mutual use?"
Liang Yi thoughtfully figured that he wouldn't believe in the simple black and white, good and evil concepts anymore. Humans are extremely complex creatures, it's impossible to summarize someone with just a few words.
"That's right, it's indeed a relationship of mutual use. Gu Chengan's pursuit is only of power, he treats the Abyss and Mystical Mechanism equally."
Chen Hua nodded; that was exactly what he meant.
"So, it seems like Gu Chengan might not appear in the battlefield anytime soon, right?"
Su Youyi also felt it was a pity, as the enemy of an enemy is a friend, especially when the other party is the lead Sword Cultivator of the Abyss.
"It doesn't matter whether he appears or not, because this guy Chen Hua won't be able to act for a while either."
Gu Sheng jumped down from Chen Hua's arm, his body floating in mid-air, looking at Chen Hua with a serious expression.
"Right, Senior Gu Sheng, how exactly is Master's injury right now?"
Liang Yi saw that his master was hopping and chatting lively, not appearing severely injured at all, but the constant serious expression of Senior Gu Sheng made Liang Yi and Su Youyi unable to rest easy.
"Don't be fooled by his appearance; he's actually just pushing himself too hard."
Fang Zhi ruthlessly exposed Chen Hua's facade.
Both he and Zhou Yuzhi could clearly tell that Chen Hua's body was weak, maybe he couldn't even hold a sword now, let alone fight with others.
He looked unharmed, mainly not to make Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and Zhou Ruanxian worry too much.
Chen Hua gave a wry smile; he never intended to deceive Fang Zhi and Zhou Yuzhi anyway, as long as he could make the three of them worry less.
"The injury he mentioned before should have been eradicated with the help of Heavenly Dao, which is indeed a stroke of luck amid misfortune."
Gu Sheng crossed his arms, his tone somewhat relieved, his gaze towards Chen Hua clearly conveyed, "You're damn lucky."
"An attack from the Tenth Realm, Chen Hua himself doesn't understand it, let alone me. Only someone within the same Realm as Heavenly Dao could address it."
Gu Sheng candidly spoke; to heal an injury, you must first understand it. If you can't even grasp it, how can you talk about healing?
You've seen a house collapsed, have you ever seen a chef being asked to repair it?
It's not about being mismatched, but about not understanding the basic principles involved, naturally, you can't start mending.
Old Man Orange nodded deeply, indeed the Tenth Realm fundamentally differs from the previous nine.
Even though he had reached that Realm and stayed for a very long time, after his reincarnation and falling out of that Realm, his memories about the Tenth Realm have been fading, making it impossible for him to breakthrough based on past experiences.
"Haha, that certainly makes it tough for you..."
Chen Hua laughed heartily, he was truly grateful to Heavenly Dao for pulling him back from the brink of death, feeling like he was face-to-face with death at one point.
The injury from the Great Dao of the Tenth Realm was utterly ruthless, nothing like what Chen Hua had encountered before.
"However, now that Heavenly Dao has erased the Great Dao injury, although the injuries inside you are still severe, there is finally hope for recovery."
Gu Sheng, in his mini stature, spoke seriously, stroking his chin slowly.
"Phew..."
Hearing this, Liang Yi and Su Youyi felt a huge relief, glad that the situation hadn't deteriorated beyond repair.
Zhou Ruanxian also breathed a sigh of relief; as long as there was hope for recovery, it was good, and the hand that had been tightly holding Chen Hua's arm loosened.
"We can heal, but as I said before, it will take a lot of time. Don't think about acting during this period either."
Facing Chen Hua's questioning look, Gu Sheng shrugged, cutting off Chen Hua's thoughts.
At these words, Chen Hua visibly deflated, not being able to act was more torturous for a battle maniac like him.
"It's alright; Gu Chengan should be more severely injured than you. As long as he doesn't make a move, the battle situation won't change much."
Zhou Yuzhi swayed the Immortal Sword in his hand, a light smile crossing his face, comforting Chen Hua.
Fang Zhi also smiled and nodded, the Mystical Mechanism Continent had many emerging powers now; it was no longer the early days when only Chen Hua was holding the fort.
"No, no, no, it's exactly because of you two that I'm worried..."
Even though Chen Hua felt moved and joyful inside, he couldn't show that in front of his good brothers.
"Damn it, why don't we give this guy from the Abyss a good beating now!"
Fang Zhi, frustrated with veins popping on his forehead, clenched his fist, his face all grim lines, turned to Zhou Yuzhi with this suggestion.
Zhou Yuzhi silently nodded, this guy always had a sharp tongue! Why couldn't the Abyss just knock some sense into him?
