Chapter 2097: Visiting the Demon Sealing Grotto(2)

"The Demon Sealing Grotto will support me?" Yan Hara raised an eyebrow, genuine surprise flickering in her eyes. "That’s quite the unexpected offer. However, I must ask—what if I am not trying to challenge Qian Chu for his position? What if I am just trying to increase my position for my own benefits?"

Zhou Yanfei paused briefly before speaking, his gaze steady. "That’s difficult to believe. I may not know everything about you, but I know enough to say you’re not the type to act so selfishly. And those you’ve been rallying—they’re all individuals who are not under Qian Chu’s influence."

"If you’re not aiming to challenge Qian Chu, then whatever you’re planning must be something that will shake the very foundation of the Demon Sealing Clan."

"You sound very confident in that statement."

"That’s just the feeling I am getting from you."

"Well, unfortunately, I have no intention of challenging Qian Chu," Yan Hara said, lying without the slightest hesitation.

She couldn’t afford to trust Zhou Yanfei so easily—not when there was no telling if his offer was sincere or if spies loyal to Qian Chu were lurking within the chamber.

Zhou Yanfei narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn’t continue to dwell on the topic and said, "Let’s talk about something else then. During the Supreme Demon Sealer Qualifications... What happened?"

"Why are you asking me that again? I already told you everything back then." Yan Hara raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner.

"My memories are getting a little hazy these days, so why don’t you remind me?"

Yan Hara rubbed her eyes and let out a soft sigh. "As I’ve said before, I was in the midst of battling the Demon Emperor when I was suddenly seized by the Demon Sealing Flag. At the time, I didn’t understand what had happened, but I later learned it was Qian Chu who had saved me."

She paused briefly before adding, "That’s also why I have no intention of challenging him. I could never turn against the one who saved my life."

Naturally, she’d already realized that it was Yuan who saved her that day, but it was true that she initially thought it was Qian Chu who saved her life.

"Ah, yes. I recall now," Zhou Yanfei said, his voice laced with curiosity. "Though, I find it rather strange that Qian Chu saved you, yet allowed the others to perish. Why is that? Are you two perhaps... involved in that kind of relationship?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Yan Hara’s expression turned cold as she said with quiet fury, "Even if you’re the Demon Sealing Grotto’s leader, I won’t allow such disrespect."

Zhou Yanfei quickly offered a courteous nod. "My apologies if my speculation came off as offensive. But that only deepens the mystery—why did he save you? To my knowledge, Qian Chu has never intervened personally for anyone before."

"You’ll have to ask Qian Chu since I have no idea what he’s thinking."
