"Yes, we can't kill each other." Zhen Hong was the first to speak.
If the four of them had been in the same faction, perhaps they could have followed the secret realm's script and wiped out the opposing faction to claim victory.
But now that they were in different factions, whether Xiao Tian died or the other three died, neither outcome was remotely acceptable.
If the three of them sacrificed Xiao Tian's life for the secret realm's rewards, not only would Blue Star Humans think badly of it once word got back to Blue Star, but the three of them would feel guilty for the rest of their lives. How could they ever explain it to Su Yu?
So the only option left was to break the script.
Thousand Cups Not Drunk said seriously, "Even if we get no rewards at all, the four of us have to leave this secret realm alive together!"
Fujiwara Chika nodded. "Right. I really like a saying from Huaxia—'Save the land and lose the people, and you lose both; save the people and lose the land, and you preserve both.' Even if we get no rewards, we can't casually abandon any companion!"
"Thanks. There really aren't many Neon people with that kind of awareness." Xiao Tian stepped forward with a smile and hooked her arm through Fujiwara Chika's.
"Then only one problem remains." Zhen Hong turned serious. "Things have developed to this point. How do we break the deadlock?"
"This..." Thousand Cups Not Drunk and Fujiwara Chika were immediately stumped. They really had no good ideas for breaking the deadlock.
But seeing that Xiao Tian seemed prepared, Thousand Cups Not Drunk asked her, "Xiao Tian, do you have any ideas?"
"I do have one, but whether it will work still needs to be tested."
