Ding Lie looked at Du Qingteng and said, "The three great Holy Lands have never involved themselves in personal conflicts. I don't care what you did in the ancient ruins, but right now, you must leave with me!"
"You are my Guardian! As long as my life isn't under threat, you cannot interfere in my affairs!" Du Qingteng refused to back down. He looked at Ding Lie and suddenly pleaded, "Grandpa Ding, I'm begging you, please help me just this once!"
Ding Lie coldly shook his head. "No!"
"You and Ancestor Shen Ru of Celestial Brilliance are good friends! Are you really going to just stand by and watch them die?" Du Qingteng demanded angrily.
"That is their conflict! And it was their choice!" Ding Lie said evenly.
"Grandpa Ding, I refuse to believe you're such a heartless person!" Du Qingteng said.
Ding Lie said, "You are still too young. You can afford to act on impulse, but I cannot!"
