"You really think we'd be afraid of a Great Luotian like you? How laughable!" Ying Luan sneered, seemingly having made some decision.
"Let's go. Why waste our breath on a Great Luotian like him? He might not even make it out of this Shattered Star Constellation!" Ying Shi immediately recalled the Lesser Vehicle Star Ferry, then waved for Ying Luan to leave.
Watching the two disappear from sight, I wasn't surprised in the slightest. A Great Luotian still carried too little weight in their eyes. The points had even become an added incentive for them to choose the opposite course.
They could settle accounts after autumn, provided they could make it back. For now, the most important thing was dealing with my own affairs.
