"Let me test the way?"
Lu Senyu's expression immediately turned strange.
With Ximen Li and the others having arrived, his cultivation was indeed no longer the highest among them, but that did not mean he had fallen to the point where Qin Shaofeng could order him about at will, did it?
Let alone testing the way—didn't Qin Shaofeng think that was using a butcher's cleaver to kill a chicken?
"Of course it should be you, Elder."
Qin Shaofeng nodded bluntly and said, "The road ahead looks safe, but you should remember what happened by the water pool."
"None of us can be certain what might be lurking in these thickets. If Fan Yuze or Tian Yinuo were sent to test the way again, then should danger truly appear, I'm afraid the two of them would find it hard to escape unharmed."
"But you are different, Elder. Of course, if you are confident you can persuade Young Sect Master Zhuiyue to do something so dangerous, then I naturally have no objections."
Qin Shaofeng smiled calmly.
He had never mentioned Ximen Li and Sha Longxing.
Yet they all understood perfectly well that Qin Shaofeng did not possess the standing to ask either of them to test the way.
Perhaps if they truly encountered such a perilous situation, the two of them would indeed do so.
But at least, not now.
Lu Senyu's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
He stared at Qin Shaofeng for quite a while before he had no choice but to say, "Then I'll walk ahead for a while. But if battle breaks out, ordinary fights should still be handled mainly by you little fellows. This place drains me far too severely."
As he said this, he seemed to know himself that he was merely trying to save a little face.
