The man directly took Shen Tang to an unnamed land, a remote and ordinary area that looked like a shelter base destroyed by war.
Most of the place had turned into ruins, but there were still a few habitable spots inside.
This area was directly set up with a Space Barrier by the man, completely isolating the air inside from the outside, like a one-way mirror, easily observing the outside development from within, but from the outside, the inside space was completely hidden, nothing could be seen.
This is the ultimate application of space and illusion abilities!
Who is he, after all?
Shen Tang was filled with astonishment.
Shen Tang broke free from his hand, stepped back a few steps, and stared at the man cautiously, "Why exactly did you bring me here?"
"You are an experiment created by the Divine Hall, entering there recklessly is like walking into a trap. No matter how hidden you are, they have ways to find you. Here, I’ve set up an Energy Barrier to temporarily block the Divine Hall’s investigation, so you don’t have to worry about me betraying you."
The man’s voice was no longer hoarse, becoming clear and pleasant, as he opened the door invitingly, "Don’t stand outside talking, come in and take a rest."
"..."
Shen Tang hesitated for a moment but still followed him inside the room.
Outside the room looked like bombed ruins, but inside was very clean, though not large, it had all the necessary furnishings.
"This is an ownerless area, with no jurisdiction from any power. I used to rest here occasionally."
He walked out from the kitchen, handing Shen Tang a freshly brewed cup of coffee with a hint of Jasmine aroma, "Think of this as your home, no need to feel restrained."
Shen Tang did not take it, as she had no mind to talk about other matters, staring at the man, but her view was blocked by the mask.
She pursed her dry lips, hesitated a bit, and said, "Who exactly are you, why are you helping me?"
The man sat on the sofa in front of the tea table, casually placing the coffee on the table, joking, "Hmm? To be a good person, do I need a reason?"
"...I don’t want to hear unrelated nonsense. Your strength surely cannot be from just an ordinary passerby! In the maze of the Divine Hall, it was also you who helped Xiao Jin and the others, right? Why did you save us? There’s no such thing as a selfless good person."
Shen Tang’s clear, dark eyes had a coldness, seemingly searching beneath the mask for a familiar visage.
She twitched the corner of her mouth and suddenly said, "If I guessed correctly, you are the mysterious person who stole Xiao Jin’s Crystal Core Fragment back then?"
The man folded his long legs, lying back on the sofa watching her, neither denying nor admitting, "Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Intuition," Shen Tang said frankly, "Aside from that mysterious person, since coming here, I haven’t encountered anyone helping me for no reason."
"I help you not without reason." A tacit admission!
Shen Tang steadied her breath, "So it’s you again, why are you doing this? What do you really want?"
She never believed there was such a thing as a free lunch; the fact that he was willing to help her meant he must have some ulterior motive!
Seemingly free goodwill might be the cruelest betrayal at the end!
The man did not speak, even with the mask, his deep gaze seemed to fall on her face as if it contained countless unspoken emotions, making Shen Tang feel something unusual inside.
Shen Tang suddenly had an illusion—
Could he know her?
Shen Tang, "...Didn’t you say that you’d tell me whatever I wanted to know?"
The man came out of his silence, nodded, "What do you want to know?"
Shen Tang swiftly leaned forward, removing his mask, "Your true face—"
With the man’s strength, he could easily dodge, but he did not move, letting Shen Tang remove the mask, revealing a handsome, thin face.
