Qin Feier said, "As long as Esper Abilities work, I'm not afraid of them. What are you all standing around for? Wait any longer and they'll subdue the Black Tortoise. This is an emergency!"
In truth, Chu Ge did not believe Zhang Qiren's claim about "besieging the stronghold to ambush reinforcements." Zhang Qiren clearly was not a core member of this team, and some of his ideas were only personal guesses.
The Black Tortoise could not possibly be dealt with so easily by a Magic Circle like this, yet they supposedly had the leisure to think about ambushing reinforcements? Did they really think the Black Tortoise was just a little turtle...? From what Chu Ge could sense, there was clearly an ongoing struggle. The Black Tortoise's Sword Qi could even penetrate outside; it was hardly powerless to resist.
On the contrary, Chu Ge actually thought it was rather good that the Black Tortoise's power had been restricted. If it were too strong, he worried he would not be able to handle it himself... After all, he had only just met Qin Feier and did not quite trust her ability. He did not know how much help she could offer in suppressing the Black Tortoise.
