章 483: Military Camp

The Monarch Piranha Flower was quite shrewd. It knew when to advance and when to retreat. It had clearly put the poison as a test to see whether or not Lan had any intention of saving Xue Wei.

If he had not saved him, then Xue Wei would have ended up being taken over by the flower, but because it was lodged inside the heart of Xue Wei, Lan was incapable of pulling it out.

Even Xue Wei could not live without having his heart inside his body.

Lan also looked at Xue Wei with mixed emotions, but he did not regret the decision to let Xue Wei face off against the flower.

It was true that his reason back then was amusement, but now he saw it as a way to temper the younger man.

Everything had been smooth sailing for him for a long time; he needed some sort of setback to finally break free and become stronger.

A setback would allow him to become an entity that was like Lan himself, someone who could leave this small world and head to the bigger stage.
