"So that's the situation. What do you all think?"
Bal hadn't said that what he told Su Ye needed to stay secret, so Su Ye passed everything on to his friends, including Bal's advice.
Whether they stayed or left was up to them.
"Damn, who are those Two Circle Masked Figures? They know everything, their methods are bizarre, and they're ruthless to boot."
Xia Zhiqiu clicked his tongue.
"So Bal got scared and doesn't dare go any deeper? He wants to run away?"
"That's not quite fair."
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"He's badly injured, so he can't fight as well as before. He also watched a friend die right in front of him. Weighing the risks and deciding to avoid danger is only human."
After that brief explanation, Zhang Xuan looked at Su Ye.
"A'Su, what do you think?"
This time, Su Ye didn't answer. Instead, the usually quiet Shen Mo spoke coldly.
"Those Two Circle Masked Figures are no match for Su Ye. He has no reason to fear them and turn back... He's asking because he wants to know what we think, isn't he? I won't run away. If something happens to me, it'll be because I wasn't skilled enough. It won't be A'Su's fault."
"Shen Mo's right."
Mu Wanrou smiled faintly, her eyes resolute.
"We worked so hard to earn the chance to enter the Burial God Graveyard. I don't want to spend it wandering around the outskirts. A'Su, I want to explore its depths with you."
"Me too! Me too! You can't leave me out of something this exciting!"
Xia Zhiqiu sidled up to Mu Wanrou with a grin.
"Besides, I have to protect my Wanrou."
"Hmph. Who asked you to protect me?"
"Come on, I'm offering! Can't I protect you because I want to?"
