Just earlier, the elder said that he had earned the qualification. Now though, he was saying that Yang Chen must help him if he wanted to earn the qualification to inherit his powers. What's more, this didn't sound like a request but more like a threat, given that he could not get out of here without the other party's help.
This elder, does he really plan to give his inheritance? Yang Chen was doubtful. When the [Map] showed the elder in a red marker, he thought that it might have been a glitch. The elder's gentle smile and attitude towards him showed no notion of him being hostile.
That said, he knew better than to doubt the system, which had saved his life multiple times and is the pillar of his growth. Since it showed red, the elder has to be his enemy.
"Alright, I will help the elder deal with that person" Yang Chen nodded his head. For now, he decided to go with the flow and think of a way out.
