After receiving the order, those people went down. Seeing this, Sect Master Huangfu looked somewhat unhappy. Sect Master Yan turned his head and saw his bitter and resentful expression. He paused for two seconds before saying, "It seems you have a lot of grievances against me. Did I do something wrong by sending them to find the people of Qingtao Valley and Xu Yuehuai?"
"Or do you have a way to save everyone from this predicament? If you can't, then don't put on that face. Who are you trying to impress? Do you really think everyone cares about your petty arrogance?" Sect Master Zhan chimed in from the side. He only wanted to survive. He had considered submitting his work directly to Quan Cang, but there were still some hidden dangers in that approach. He hesitated, and it was this hesitation that saved him from this disaster.
Sect Leader Huangfu looked at them with disgust in his eyes, and his gaze and attitude were even more intimidating. He sneered twice and said, "I really don't know how noble I am, but I've never seen anything as shameless as this before. Instead of thinking about how to fight the predicament you are in, you spend a lot of manpower to find a little girl and ask her to fight the predicament for you. You are really something."
Sect Master Huangfu looked at them and continued, "Yes, you are right. I have no other choice, but I will not place all my hopes on a little girl and let her fight the enemy and resist all dangers and death alone, while we old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years hide behind her and live a life of ignominy!"
Sect Leader Huangfu's words drew a chord with everyone present, with Sect Leader Yan and Sect Leader Zhan being the most agitated. Sect Leader Yan had started the whole thing, and Sect Leader Zhan had echoed his sentiments. If anyone was to deduce who was responsible, both of them were involved to some extent. "How dare you speak like that? You're here now angrily rebuking us, thinking we're wrong. But what if this succeeds? You'll be eagerly coming back to enjoy the peaceful life after the war with us!"
"You're just worried that your reputation will be ruined because of this. Even in the face of life and death, you still cling to your so-called morality! It's truly laughable!" Sect Master Huangfu pointed at him with one finger, his eyes filled with disgust, his fierce expression as if they were some kind of enemy.
Sect Master Huangfu knew he couldn't reason with these people. So many days had passed, and he hadn't seen them come up with even the slightest idea or solution to the problem. They were all relying on a child, a half-grown child, to be the hero.
In their eyes, heroes are only heroes when they save them. After that, heroes become ordinary people, no different from them. They even think that this is just a normal update.
Sect Leader Huangfu left alone. They were right about one thing: he was sticking to his principles. He wanted Xu Yuehuai to appear and save everyone, but what he wanted even more was to fight alongside him.
Not long after he left, several other people also came out of the inn. When the Sect Master Yan saw this, he sneered, his face full of disdain, "How long can you keep up this arrogant attitude? I can't wait to see you die outside, your eyes wide open in disbelief. Then you will know just how right it was for me to make all this."
Sect Leader Zhan watched them leave with a cold eye. The people from the other sects remained silent, seemingly neutral, but in reality, they were on the side of Sect Leader Yan and Sect Leader Zhan.
After leaving the inn, Sect Leader Huangfu wandered around for quite a while. Now that everyone was living together, he had separated from the main group and was essentially a lone wolf roaming outside.
During the continuous journey, I wanted to find a place to rest and recuperate.
However, after walking for a short while, he couldn't help but ask, "How long are you going to follow me?"
A rustling sound came from behind them, and after a moment, several teenagers appeared. Qian Qiqi and Mei Ming were among them. They scratched their heads and then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sect Leader Huangfu, we just couldn't stand what those people were doing. We thought that you would encounter dangerous people when you're out there alone. If we were with you, your safety would be improved, wouldn't it?"
"You're all smooth talkers. If your sect leader found out that you left with people he hates, what do you think he would think?" Sect Leader Huangfu looked at them, chuckled twice, a faint smile in his eyes, and a dimple appeared on his face when he laughed.
His dimples made him look several years younger.
Sect Master Huangfu walked in front, turned his head, and said to the people with his back to them, "You can follow me if you want, but don't blame me for not warning you, it's very dangerous. I won't be like them, standing at the back to command the battle. I always go to the most dangerous places. If you still want to follow me after all this, then do as you please."
When Sect Leader Huangfu spoke these words, there was no ambiguity in them. On the contrary, his attitude was very good, and everyone's eyes lit up. They said excitedly, "Of course we are willing. As long as Sect Leader Huangfu doesn't look down on us, how could we possibly say we are unwilling?"
"Yes, I've been fed up with them for a long time. Back in Duancheng, it was Miss Xu who saved my life, and it was during the competition as well. Now, they still want to push Miss Xu over there. Miss Xu is my savior. If my benefactor is treated like this, I have absolutely no reason to stay in that place and let them boss me around!" One of the burly young men said excitedly.
The others looked over and expressed their approval of what he said.
Sect Leader Huangfu nodded and walked forward, "Then let's go."
After receiving permission from Sect Master Huangfu, all those who had followed behind stepped forward, their faces beaming with joy. Along the way, they had encountered many people, all of whom were on the verge of death. Sect Master Huangfu never interfered and always healed them. If they wanted to leave with him, they were naturally willing to do so. If they did not want to leave, the world was their oyster, and they were free to go wherever they pleased.
