Er Ming could only scratch his head.
"If we go kill Lu Ran, we die. If we don't, we die anyway. What are we supposed to do?"
There was no way out.
Da Ming pondered.
"Let's find a way to learn more about Lu Ran and see what kind of person he is before we decide. The information we gathered before wasn't enough. Dong'er knows Lu Ran well, doesn't she? Let's ask her first."
Er Ming spread his hands, his face full of worry.
"Then... what if he finds out?"

Electrolux smiled faintly.
"Not bad. The scenery across Douluo Continent
