"Second brother, why don't you follow Brother Mu? He is a great swordsman. Wouldn't we be much safer following him?" Yang Boxing asked with dissatisfaction and confusion.
"So what if he's a great swordsman? Something strange has happened in the Valley of Strange Beasts. Can a great swordsman alone keep us safe?" Yang Boqiao said.
"Even the great swordsman can't keep us safe, how can you?" Yang Boxing said unconvinced.
"I heard from those people just now that the eldest young master is recruiting family members everywhere. With his status, strength and prestige, I believe it won't be long before everyone gathers around him. Hundreds or even thousands of elites from various families gathered together are no more powerful than a great swordsman. We will be safe if we rush over soon." Yang Boqiao said confidently.
"Young Master, are you talking about Qu Fengting from the Qu family?" Yang Boxing asked in surprise.
"Yes, our Yang family has been dependent on the Qu family for these years, and we can be considered old friends. I believe that the eldest young master will never stand by and watch us die. But as far as I know, the eldest young master is extremely dissatisfied with Mu Hanyan. If he knew that we were walking with him, I am afraid he would have opinions about us. It is better not to offend him. Otherwise, even if we escape this time, our family will be implicated in the future." Yang Boqiao nodded and said.
"But, Master Mu saved my life. Wouldn't it be ungrateful to do this?" Yang Boxing said ashamedly.
"We haven't betrayed him, nor have we ever done anything to repay kindness with hatred, so how can we be said to be ungrateful?
Besides, Mu Hanyan is notorious for his bad character. Even if he saved your life, you should practice hard in the future and find a chance to repay him. There is no need to go along with him.
"To put it another way, what kind of help can you provide by following him? You'll just be a burden to him. If we stay away from him, we'll actually be doing him a big favor," Yang Boqiao advised earnestly.
"Yeah, that seems to be the case." Yang Boxing nodded thoughtfully, but then frowned. Although his second brother's words made sense, he still felt that something was amiss.
"I'm glad you figured it out. Take the medicine first and rest for a while before we set off." Yang Boqiao said.
"We don't know what kind of strange beasts are ahead. Can we get through?" Yang Boxing temporarily put aside the confusion in his heart and asked worriedly.
"These strange beasts all have their own territories. Since the Earth-Splitting Crocodile exists, there shouldn't be any stronger strange beasts. We just need to be careful and we should be fine." Yang Boqiao said.
…
Mu Hanyan walked further and further away. After knowing the reason why Yang Boqiao was deliberately distancing himself from her, she had no interest in listening any further.
She had no grudge against Yang Boqiao. For her own life and the interests of her family, she had to do whatever she wanted. For most of the family's children, this was a responsibility they had to bear.
Only in her previous life was she an exception. Not only did she not have to bear any responsibility, but her entire family even suffered because of her. Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan felt even more moved and guilty.
"Brother Wu, isn't it time for you to let us know the inside story of something?" Mu Hanyan finally asked in the rare silence all around.
"If the elders in my Wu family are not mistaken, it should be related to the ancient mythical beast." This time, Wu Qiyun did not hesitate much and spoke frankly.
