After the group photo, the spectator said a lot to Jia Yan and mentioned that if it weren't for his partners not measuring up, his achievements might have been much greater by now.
Jia Yan simply smiled faintly, without responding.
"Jia Yan, it seems you're still quite popular. Have you really not considered staying here?"
The Scaled Creature was persistent, continuing to persuade him after the spectator had left.
"I really have no intention of staying here. However, meeting all of you here has been my good fortune, and I'm thankful for the joy you've brought me," Jia Yan told his temporary companions around him.
He didn't know whether these beings would still be his friends after today, but at least for now, they were.
"Heh, what are you talking about? No matter where you go in the future, no matter if we ever meet again, we'll always be friends," the Four-eyed Monster said, shaking his head and laughing.
