Chen Lin also felt that the situation was difficult to handle.
Having offended Wan Zhencang, the Alliance Leader, he certainly could not remain at Bright Peak. Even Jin Ruhua could not help him.
Leaving was his best option.
He had somewhere to go, too.
But wherever he went, he first had to leave the area covered by Bright Peak's grand formation. Once he stepped outside, danger would descend.
And not just from Wan Zhencang.
There were also Huyan Wushuang and that Ouyang Ye.
Any of them might attack him.
Lately, he had often sensed someone spying on him. They were probably Huyan Wushuang's people.
She was also in the True Realm. If she attacked, she would strike like a thunderbolt, and he was not certain he could withstand it.
Now Wan Zhencang had been added to the mix.
That made things even more dangerous.
So Chen Lin also wanted to hear what Gu Siming could suggest.
Gu Siming held out her little hand.
Blinking her large eyes, she said, "Give me back my things first, and I'll point you toward a way out."
"What things?"
Chen Lin played dumb.
He would not release the hawk before seeing the hare. Unless she offered him a workable solution, he would never return her things.
When you had enough lice, another bite hardly mattered. He had already offended plenty of people; one more made no difference.
Gu Siming glared at him.
"You really would rather lose your life than your wealth, Brother. I don't want anything else. Just return my Yunming Flower. You can keep the rest as my apology."
"I don't have it."
Chen Lin shook his head bluntly.
He could produce everything else, but he had already given the Yunming Flower to Wen Xinzhao and accepted her Coiled Dragon Pillar in
