"Ashley, you are here too!" Raylan called out her name with a bitter smile as soon as he saw her. He didn't look surprised at all though, for he had already anticipated that she would soon arrive with her entourage.
"Look! Ashley has also come, and she seems to be here for this white-haired young man as well. Who the hell is he?"
The surrounding warriors stared at them with great curiosity.
Meanwhile, Ashley approached Ricky amicably and greeted him, "Hey, Ricky! How have you been?"
"Hello, Ashley. I'm doing good," Ricky replied in a low voice before he turned to look back and forth at Raylan and Ashley.
"What brings you two here?" he then asked them coldly. In any other case, these two could have been his friends, but because they were here for the Five-element Flag, he and these two people were enemies. Thus, he couldn't simply welcome them with open arms.

At this point, Ricky could only smile at Raylan since he didn't know what else to say. "I don't think you can offer me anything that can change my mind, Raylan. After all, some things can't be bought by cultivation resources or Treasures from Heaven and Earth."
"Really? Your words make me want to know even more. Besides, I still don't believe that we can't work out a better deal," Raylan insisted.
"Fine! It looks like I have no other choice but to tell you the truth. The vice leader of the wood branch said that if I join them, I will be permitted to marry Ashley," replied Ricky seriously.
