The sea beast's attack severely injured Chen Pingping. He was sent flying, coughing up blood profusely, his face as pale as snow.
Lan Xiuzhi turned around subconsciously and cried out in alarm, "Chen Pingping!"
She wanted to rush back to save him but was pulled back by the Saintess, who said, "Don't panic, he'll be fine."
"I... let go of me, I must save him!" Lan Xiuzhi's face was filled with urgency.
"He really will be fine, believe me," the Saintess said.
She knew Chen Pingping's strength all too well. Back then, he alone could annihilate the Bai Family and Chong Tower. Standing tall in the Divine King Realm, he could easily slay even those on the royal path. How could such a person let himself fall into a hopeless situation? Besides, this guy wasn't that kind-hearted, was he? To sacrifice himself to save a Huang Mingzhi? It wasn't worth it.
The Saintess forcibly pulled Lan Xiuzhi away, no matter how much she struggled.
