Chapter 58

That must be it! This mixed blood must possess powerful strength but had a timid personality. As a result, he had chosen to conceal his strength in order to not pick a fight with anyone. That was why when he was found out, his complexion turned pale from the fear.

After he figured out the whole story, McCullen laughed out loud.

Chu Nan did not know whether to laugh or cry about the current situation. One second, McCullen was surging with killing intent but the next second, he was laughing in a madman? What the heck was that?

Chu Nan was confused by McCullen, but on the other side, McCullen was totally clear-headed, as he had found the answer to his question. He had a misunderstanding about his reaction earlier on, which made him to believe Chu Nan was not an expert.

“That’s right! I indeed wanted to kill you just now!” McCullen straightened his chest and shook his head. “But now, I know that I am not your opponent.”

“Oh. Is that so?” Due to the virtue of being thrifty, Chu Nan immediately recalled the Killing Bees and said, “It seems like you are quite smart.”

McCullen revealed a sad weak smile as he looked up to the skies in resignation. “In that case, do it!”

“Do it? Do what?” Chu Nan blanked out. “Even if you want me to treat your injuries, I will still require time to prepare.”

“Treat?” McCullen looked at Chu Nan with an expression as if he had never seen a magical beast before in his life. “You’re not killing me?”

“Why would I kill you?”

“Because I had intentions to kill you a while ago.”

“But didn’t you dismiss that thought?”

“That’s right.”

“Then why would I still want to kill you? Moreover, you are the friend of my friend, so you can be considered as half a friend of mine. So why would I have any reason to kill you?”

“Friend…?”

Lin Nianbing and McCullen were momentarily stunned. A supreme expert, the Great Sage of Dolunga City, the Son of Light of the Temple of Light, had actually regarded an ordinary man as his friend? T-this.. How was it possible?

Chu Nan saw their expressions and was confused. “What’s wrong? You don’t like that I’m your friend?”

“N-no! No!” Lin Nianbing ecstatically exclaimed. “How can it be possible? I like it! Yes, I like it! I just did not expect someone of your status would be willing to befriend someone like me.”

“Status?” Chu Nan blanked out for a moment before he chuckled. “What does status have to do with the friendship between people?”

‘Indeed, what does status have to do with the friendship between people?’

Lin Nianbing and McCullen gave a deep thought about Chu Nan’s question and a short silence enveloped the room.

Slowly, a smile surfaced on McCullen’s smile. A moment later, he released a hearty laugh. “That’s right! What does status have to do with the friendship between people! As expected of an expert!”

Chu Nan scratched his head with a bitter smile. ‘What does that have to do with being an expert? Isn’t the reason why friendships are formed because they like each other?’

“If you don’t dislike it,” McCullen raised his head and said. “Then I, McCullen, shall befriend you!”

Chu Nan rubbed his eyes. The moment McCullen raised his head, he seemed to have sense that this middle-aged man had radiated the aura of an expert for an instant.

“Dislike? Why would I dislike it?” Chu Nan started laughing together. He did not expect that his seemingly ordinary words would be so highly regarded by them.

“Since we are friends, then I shall be frank with you.” McCullen’s expression suddenly turned serious as he said, “As an expert, you should also possess the awareness and courage of one. Your current guts are miles apart compared to your strength.”

Only then did Chu Nan understand the reason why McCullen had radiated killing intent, but started laughing out loud the next second. In the end, due to the appearance of the Killing Bees, he had mistaken him to be a timid peerless expert.

With a bitter smile, Chu Nan nodded. “In fact, to be honest with you, most of my strength had been sealed by an enemy and therefore, I have no choice but to be cautious.”

“Sealed?” McCullen’s eyeballs were about to pop out. Even when sealed, Chu Nan was able to easily control those Killing Bees? Then before his strength had been sealed, exactly how powerful was he? Could it be that the aura of an Heaven Realm expert that appeared that night was not his peak strength?

“Sigh!” Chu Nan sighed. “I’m also rather vexed! Right now even though I have two friends protecting me, I still have to stand out to deal with more dangerous situations. I’m really afraid that my enemies might know of my existence before I’ve undone the seal.

“This…” McCullen was speechless. In the end, he also sighed and shook his head while remaining silent.

Chu Nan peeked at McCullen from the corner of his eyes. After he was more or less done with the story telling, he sighed even louder and continued, “But since you’re my friend, I have the responsibility to help you. Come here and take a seat. I’ll go to my room to prepare for your treatment.”

“What?” McCullen looked at Chu Nan in shock. A Heaven Realm expert did not equate to being an expert in healing. Could it be that he still possessed more healing scrolls similar to the [God of Light’s Gift]?

“Surprised?” Chu Nan chuckled. “You are a friend of mine. So I will treat your injuries regardless if I would risk being discovered.”

“This… don’t…” McCullen wanted to reject him, but he was forced speechless by Chu Nan’s resolute expression.

As he looked at Chu Nan’s departing back, McCullen suddenly felt that this elvish mixed-blood’s back was exceptionally tall and strong.

Both of them were people who had fallen from the top and they both had their fair share of sad past. So, he understood what it was like getting chased by his enemies, but Chu Nan would rather take the risk in order to treat him! How was he supposed to repay such kindness?

For a moment, McCullen’s eyes moistened. “You’ve saved me once, and I shall repay you with my entire life.”

Chu Nan did not hear his whisper. After entering a separate room, he opened the spatial bracelet and started thinking about which healing potion he should use.

“Since [God of Light’s Gift] was unable to cure his injuries, then I’m afraid Human Grade potions are out of the question. Earth Grade potion…” Chu Nan touched his chin and took out a Heaven Grade potion. “He is someone that even the commander-in-chief, Efran, fears, so he should be at least at the level of a saint knight. Since he admitted he has fallen several levels, then shouldn’t he be more powerful than that Saint Knight Yashly after recovering? Well, this is worth an investment! After all, having an additional bodyguard is always good. In any case, this is a favor, isn’t it?”
