Ouyang Nan had considered striking first and killing Ouyang Min instead of waiting for him to make a move and leaving herself to defend passively.
Unfortunately, that was absolutely impossible.
After all, the team they had brought was basically made up of Martial Artists from the Great Elder faction. If she sent Ouyang Min off to receive lunchbox, she would completely alienate every Martial Artist in the team, and the entire group would slip out of her control.
They were still in the exploration phase, so the entire team was effectively in a back-to-back relationship, relying on and supporting one another. If she, Ouyang Nan, were a Xiantian Master, then perhaps she could simply send him off without caring about the team. Even if every Martial Artist in the group opposed her, it would not matter, because her own strength would speak for itself.
But unfortunately, Ouyang Nan was merely at Houtian Layer Ten and had not yet reached peak state. Meanwhile, the two Xiantian Masters from the Qian Family and Zhou Family were watching from the sidelines, so naturally she could not make a move to kill Ouyang Min.
That was also why Ouyang Min could make small moves in private while she could not.
Another reason was that Ouyang Nan knew their expedition had already come this far, yet they had encountered so many dangers. No one knew what dangers still awaited them ahead. Without helping one another, they might not survive the threats to come.
