620: Meet

However, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After all, the news about this place was indeed revealed by Dongfang Chen.

But now, not even a single fruit could be found.

Even he couldn't help but feel a hint of suspicion.

However, he couldn't understand the reason why the other party would deceive him.

After all, they had come here together.

If Dongfang Chen made the two of them waste time...

But wouldn't their own journey to the Center of the Secret Realm also be a waste of time?

Or was it that they were willing to forgo the spirit source fruit just to search for that hidden treasure?

This was clearly an impossible scenario.

The spirit source fruit might not be as valuable as the treasure they were looking for.

However, it was definitely a rare and precious Opportunity, and there was no reason to give it up.

Just as the two of them were deep in thought,

suddenly, footsteps echoed from a distance.

Following closely, a figure slowly emerged.

The two of them were momentarily stunned.

Then, they immediately reacted, looking over with full vigilance.

Upon seeing the man, they were greatly shocked.

It was actually Zhan Lang; how could he be here?

Wang Yan and the other person exchanged a look, somewhat surprised.

They knew that their journey here had been a secret exploration.

They hadn't revealed their location to anyone.

Yet now, they had precisely and accurately encountered Zhan Lang here.

Could it be that Zhan Lang had been tracking the two of them?

Upon careful consideration, it indeed seemed possible.

After all, ever since entering the Secret Realm, whenever they encountered danger, Zhan Lang would always appear precisely.

And now, Zhan Lang had appeared once again.

Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a bit cautious.

He absolutely wouldn't believe that there was no ulterior motive if someone kept following the two of them.

But before this, they hadn't even had much interaction or experience together.

What could Zhan Lang be plotting against the two of them?

As he pondered this, Wang Gou, beside him, quietly let out a sigh of relief.

He had long suspected Zhan Lang's identity.

The repeated assistance had already made him suspicious.

Now, seeing Zhan Lang appear once again, it undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions.

Instead of feeling nervous, he gradually became relaxed.

He even walked over proactively.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but say with a smile.

A hint of awkwardness appeared on Wang Gou's face.

Just as he was about to explain something,

Wang Yan pulled him back.

"Don't go over."

"I feel that this person seems to have ulterior motives towards us. Think about it, ever since entering this Secret Realm, we've kept running into him everywhere, even though he's been helping us."

"But the intangible things are the truly expensive ones. Who knows what intentions he harbors towards us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Gou's face immediately flushed.

He wanted to explain something, but the words caught in his throat, and he eventually sighed softly in helplessness.

It wasn't that he thought Wang Yan wasn't smart enough.

It was just that the other party might not have considered it from that angle.

Perhaps even now, he hadn't been able to discern Zhan Lang's identity.

As for explaining, it seemed completely unnecessary.

If Zhan Lang truly wanted to reveal his identity, there would naturally be a time for him to explain it himself.

And not for a junior like him to overstep.

And hearing Wang Yan's words,

Zhan Lang smiled faintly.

He didn't say much either.

Prudence was a good thing.

Besides, he hadn't come out this time to conflict with the two children.

He immediately waved his hand.

"I naturally have nothing to plot against you."

"After all, with you two little fellows, there's really nothing I don't know."

"Arrogant! Although your strength is great, aren't you perhaps looking down on the two of us too much by saying that?"

Wang Yan couldn't help but blurt out.

But the moment his words fell, Wang Gou quickly pulled him.

"Sorry, sorry, it's not that we..." He hadn't finished speaking.

Zhan Lang waved his hand.

"It's alright."

As his voice faded, two spirit fruits appeared in his hand.

"I'll give these two things to you. Find a place to refine them and improve your cultivation. For the subsequent matters, I imagine you won't act senselessly."

After speaking, his figure slowly disappeared.

And in his place, two fruits remained.

Wang Yan and Wang Gou exchanged glances, momentarily stunned.

Then they hurriedly ran over.

They picked up the two fruits and observed them carefully in their hands.

Astonishing Spiritual Qi and golden patterns, dazzling beyond compare.

The two of them were instantly somewhat dumbfounded.

Wang Yan even said with some uncertainty,

"These seem to be spirit source fruits!?"

"No, how could Zhan Lang have them? We searched for so long, but didn't find even one."

As he said this, Wang Gou suddenly seemed to remember something, and finally understood where he had always felt something was off.

He couldn't help but chuckle and say,

"Is there a possibility that Zhan Lang already scoured all the fruits here before we arrived, which is why neither of us found even one?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan was instantly enlightened.

Then he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"Then, according to what you're saying, isn't it possible that the Fifth Prince also couldn't find a single one?"

Wang Gou nodded.

"Perhaps, it truly might be so."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"That Dongfang Chen actually wanted to separate from us and search individually. Now, he's just drawing water with a bamboo basket, all for naught. It's truly delightful, delightful."

"However, why would Zhan Lang give such precious things to the two of us? Speaking of which, isn't he being a bit too good to us?"

"He definitely doesn't have good intentions. His showing such unsolicited kindness makes it hard not to be cautious."

Wang Yan couldn't help but bring the topic back to the fruits in front of them.

A look of solemnity immediately appeared on his face.

He couldn't help but start to ponder.

Is there something wrong with these two fruits?

Just like the Thatched Hut they encountered in the bamboo forest before.

It seemed like an Opportunity, but in reality, it was a crisis.

And these two fruits in front of him, their preciousness, he naturally understood clearly.

Zhan Lang wasn't a fool, so it was even more impossible for him to just give them away.

Not related by blood or kinship, suddenly bestowing benefits, showing unsolicited kindness.

Anyone would be suspicious.

Wang Gou couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

He also couldn't explain anything.

Finally, he could only say helplessly,

"It's not as much as you think. From now on, don't harbor any thoughts about this person."

"His identity holds no ill will towards the two of us."

Wang Yan pursed his lips.

He didn't know where Wang Gou's mysterious confidence came from.
