167 Returning to the Town? (2/2)

The two junior martial brothers, Nian Tao and Ran Wu, were immediately convinced that this was something they should take into consideration. It wasn't that they were actually worried about the message getting lost but if Mei Chao Bing was the one who sent it, then maybe he hadn't actually sent it back to their Teng Yong Sect's Elders but to the other side instead. Who knew what he would do? Thus, they couldn't help but echo what Song Mu had said.

Nian Tao added to his friend's words: ”Ran Wu is right. And anyway, you could provide some more details than the message that senior martial brother Mei sent, right? I think it would really be for the best if you went back there.”

Mei Chao Bing gave Song Mu a subtle look. Apparently, he had thought too much. This guy had really stayed true to his words. In fact, he was doing so in quite a good way. He just suggested the idea, then backed it up by some concerns, and after that, just let the others carry the conversation. He might not even need to say anything else. Nobody would suspect any bad intentions behind this, maybe not even Yang Wu Huang and the other two. And those who wanted … well, they had already had such thoughts in the first place.

Yang Wu Huang was tongue-tied when there were three people arguing against him. He reeled for a moment and then gave a short sigh. ”I really understand what you're saying. It's not that I don't want to inform the Elders either. It's just that … we were just attacked. It's dangerous to go back now, isn't it?”

The two junior martial brothers weren't about to be discouraged by that though. ”But didn't you say just now that junior martial brother Di was actually healed? Then how is it dangerous?”

Yang Wu Huang's gaze slightly cooled but with everybody looking at him, he still had to play nicely. ”Well, be that as it may, we were attacked when we were ten people and barely got away. Now, we are only three. If there are actually demonic practitioners somewhere between this place and the town, then wouldn't we be in danger?”

Nian Tao and Ran Wu were at a loss for words. That was true. They hadn't thought of that. Naturally, they didn't want to put any of their martial brothers in danger. Wasn't that why they wanted them to go back and inform the Elders? But how could this be solved now? They really didn't know.

Song Mu gave them a moment to think it through in case they could think of something themselves. Otherwise, he would speak up after all. Before he needed to do so, Liu Bao Ru chipped in though. ”There's no need to worry about that, is there? Anyway, we're at the edge of the border region. It isn't as dangerous here as it was at the place where you were attacked. Most likely, you wouldn't meet anyone.”

Yang Wu Huang's expression didn't look good. ”Well, if you're right, then that would naturally be great. But what if you aren't? As the leader of this group, I can't put Di Huan Bo and Ao Jing in such danger.”

Liu Bao Ru couldn't argue with that. Yang Wu Huang was indeed in charge of these two and couldn't be lackadaisical with their safety. Still, she felt that it would be best if they did go back to inform the Elders. Then, there might still be a chance for the others to be saved.

She thought for a moment and then turned to look at Song Mu and Mei Chao Bing. ”I know that I can't make any decision on this but maybe I have an idea on how to solve this problem.”
