110 Something Similar (2/2)

She nodded. ”Alright, then … give me one day, please? I'll definitely tell you then.”

”Very well.” Mei Chao Bing nodded and then turned to the others. ”Junior martial brother Yuan, junior martial brother Song, the two of you are the ones with the highest cultivation after me. If something happens and I'm unable to lead, one of you will have to take over. I trust you to make that decision on your own when the time comes since it'll depend on the circumstances.”

Yuan Lei and Song Mu both nodded but didn't speak up.

Mei Chao Bing looked at the other two martial brothers but didn't say anything. These two were able to defend themselves and wouldn't need any arrangements. As for the other junior martial sister … She wasn't strong either.

”Junior martial sister Nong, the same goes for you. You should be staying close to somebody that is stronger than you. I would understand if that person was junior martial sister Liu. If you don't mind though … It would be good if you could stay with junior martial brother Yuan instead. If somebody had to protect two people, it might be too much.”

Nong Xiu Ying nodded. ”Alright. Then I'll also take a bit of time to think it through. I'll also talk it over with junior martial sister Yi if that's alright.”

”That would be very good, yes.” Mei Chao Bing nodded and then took out a paper scroll. ”Now, we've all been in different groups before. The area we are supposed to investigate is also different now. I'd like everybody to pool our information together. That way, we won't go in blindly. Don't worry if you can't remember everything or have a hard time recalling something. Every detail we have is good but we can still check things later on to make sure. After all, everybody will return to this town in the evening so we will be able to ask. Everything else can be slowly found out afterward.”

Mei Chao Bing turned to Yuan Lei and handed him the scroll first. ”Let's start with junior martial brother Yuan again. Fen'er and I were in the same group as him before but since we joined later, he should have more information at hand.”

Yuan Lei nodded, took the brush that Mei Chao Bing gave him as well and then started to draw and explain. There wasn't much to see. The border region didn't have much to see, after all, but he did explain about the stone desert they had seen and Mei Chao Bing mentioned that this was where the array had been located.

When he did so, Liu Bao Ru straightened up. ”There was something similar in our region. We didn't notice any array but it could be that we didn't check closely enough. Part of it should be in our new area so maybe we could go and take a look again?”

Mei Chao Bing gave her a deep gaze and then nodded. ”Yes, that might be for the best.”
