After confirming that Chi Xiao's vital signs had largely stabilized and there was little chance of her suddenly dying, Xu Le had no intention of staying any longer.
"Uncle Li, Xia, I'm leaving."
"Now? We don't even know whether she'll live or die, and you're taking her away already?"
Unlike Xia Libo's surprise, Li Wen merely frowned without saying much.
Although Xu Le's coming and going as he pleased seemed very irresponsible.
There were considerations of safety and usefulness.
Xu Le staying here would bring Zion no additional benefits at present. The Sky City project was indeed his, and he had also proposed the Ancient God Species labor cooperation project.
But these plans had already gradually gotten on track.
Xu Le did not need to remain as an executor to keep carrying out these projects.
His professional skills were too poor; he was actually less effective than specialists in those fields.
His presence in Zion might count as an addition to its high-end fighting strength.
At the same time, however, he would also bring Zion additional danger.
And... aside from Xu Le, the woman he had brought back was also a major problem.
Chi Xiao.
Li Wen had read some intelligence about Chi Xiao. Though he did not know much, he knew she was a member of the Armed Forces directly under the Red Moon Holy Temple.
For someone like her to suffer such grievous injuries, Li Wen thought there was a strong likelihood that the Red Moon Holy Temple itself was involved.
For Zion, Xu Le alone was already troublesome enough and difficult to handle.
Adding an even more unmanageable Chi Xiao would only put Zion in an even more disadvantageous position.
Although only he and Xia Libo knew about this, no secret stayed hidden forever.
