"Young Master, should we bring Miss Xiao along with us?"
Uncle Ying nodded and glanced at Xiao Yingyue, worried that she might be in league with Lin Fan.
Though he could not sense any cultivation fluctuations from Xiao Yingyue, what if she possessed some exotic treasure capable of concealing her aura?
"With my current strength, going along would likely only add unnecessary trouble for everyone."
"With so many knights and guards here protecting Young Master Jiang, could you really be worried that a weak woman like me might harm him?"
As though she understood Uncle Ying's concerns, Xiao Yingyue spoke bluntly, her expression frank and composed.
She had no wish to meet Lin Fan. Once Lin Fan learned that she had led these people to him, he certainly would not spare her either.
Lin Fan possessed countless methods. If he insisted on attacking her, she might truly be in danger.
Jiang Lan glanced at Xiao Yingyue, vaguely able to guess what she was thinking.
He flipped down from the exotic beast and said with an easy smile, "It does not matter if Miss Xiao wishes to stay behind. Your cultivation has yet to recover, and following us would indeed cause trouble. If Lin Fan is determined to kill you, something could easily happen."
Xiao Yingyue paused in slight surprise. She had not expected Jiang Lan to voice exactly what was on her mind.
Still, given the current circumstances, staying by Jiang Lan's side was clearly safer.
It was only a pity that she had lost her cultivation. Otherwise, why would she need to be so cautious?
"Then be careful, Young Master."
Uncle Ying nodded, leaving behind more than ten guards and knights before leading the rest onward to continue the pursuit.
Before long, night fell, and the mountains echoed everywhere
