By the time Zhou Fan's group reached the mountain road, the sky was already beginning to lighten. To be walking on an exposed road at this hour, rather than through the dense forest, was undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
But Zhou Fan had a habit of acting in ways that defied conventional logic, so no one questioned his decision.
"If... if we make it back to Jiang Province in one piece this time, the two of us will follow you for good," Fan said quietly to Zhou Fan as they walked, his tone somewhat heavy.
"Then you two won't get the chance. The fact that Bai Zhi would risk exposing herself just to warn me proves that the assassins Lorne has sent are staggering, both in number and in skill. Even with her power, she must not have any real influence among them. I'll be lucky if I can even make it back to Jiang Province alive by myself."
Zhou Fan glanced at Fan and the nearby He Yi, his words merciless. His expression made it clear he wasn't joking in the slightest.
