Dugu Yuqing looked at Li Fan, his heart a tangled knot of emotions.
His eyes grew hot.
Because he finally understood what his master meant.
In this life... his master still refused to take the path of a single spark setting the prairie ablaze. He still refused to let them sacrifice themselves...
He would rather stand alone before everyone!
"Master, you've been too good to us..."
He spoke, forcing back the choked sob in his voice.
Li Fan said,
"Come on. Follow me back to the village."
Now that he finally knew what his disciples had gone off to do, Li Fan felt half the weight lift from his heart.
After all, his disciples had plenty of experience making their way in the world. They used to go hunting and the like all the time. They should be safe enough.
Dugu Yuqing nodded and said,
"Your disciple... will obey."
At that moment, he stopped insisting.
Li Fan had even thrown away the bronze ancient lamp. There was truly no point in their sticking to the plan of a single spark setting the prairie ablaze.
They had no choice.
They could only stay by their master's side. If darkness descended, they would face it together.
Li Fan nodded, then turned to Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao.
"You two, I've found my disciples. This place is far too dangerous, and I'm planning to leave. Will you come with us?"
Hearing this, Fan Paiming's expression turned complicated.
His younger sister had been right.
This big shot really loved putting on an act!
This place was far too dangerous?
He almost wanted to ask: Was there anything in this world that could possibly be dangerous to you?
You'd even made that black smoke disappear!
That was... absolutely top-tier stuff in this world.
