Chapter Five Hundred and Thirteen – When We Made This Decision (2/2)

Maybe ge was really born to do business?

As to what to do after achieving their goal, who knew. Zuo Mo was too lazy to think. This really was a great chance but it was not so simple to grasp it.

Fortunately, everything seemed to be progressing smoothly at present.

But Zuo Mo did not let it go to his head. He judged calmly.

He was clear that this inflation in power was like a pile of bubbles. If they could not defeat the mo army, these bubbles would instantly pop.

Looking at the quiet A Gui, Zuo Mo’s restless heart also calmed down.

“A Gui, I’m very sorry. We need to wait for the fighting to finish before we can search for a Water Cloud embryo,” he said apologetically.

A Gui sat silently and motionlessly.

The two stared at each other in silence.

“A Gui, who are you?” Gazing at A Gui, Zuo Mo said quietly. A while later, he lowered his head. His expression was slightly depressed. “Who am I?”

Suddenly a hand reached over and grasped Zuo Mo’s hand.

Zuo Mo stilled and raised his hand abruptly.

A Gui’s face was still as wooden as usual but there was a weak light in the deep reaches of the empty eyes.

A Gui had moved!

This was the first time A Gui moved of her accord after she was wounded.

For some unknown reason, Zuo Mo suddenly felt his heart warm up. This simple move made him feel extremely comfortable and his dejection flew away.

A Gui’s hand was very beautiful. Just like her feet, it did not have one flaw.

Other than being slightly cold.

Zuo Mo gripped A Gi’s hand back.

“Thank you, A Gui.”

———

“I object!”

“I also object!”

“Daren, you cannot enter into a dangerous situation, this is too dangerous!”

Zuo Mo looked at the excited group. He had predicted this reaction. Wei Sheng did not speak but it was clear from his expression that he did not agree with Zuo Mo’s thoughts. He was not the only one. Lil’ Miss, Shu Long, and the others were shaking their heads.

Everyone knew what Zuo Mo’s safety meant to their troops. If something happened to Zuo Mo, this group would likely fall apart instantly.

Any suggestion that could cause that situation would receive everyone’s opposition.

Gradually, people calmed from their excitement. Their eyes landed on Zuo Mo. Zuo Mo was smiling as usual and did not show an excited expression. Seeing everyone calm down, he slowly opened.

“I’ve thought deeply about this.”

No one spoke. Everyone was waiting for Zuo Mo to keep speaking. After interacting with Daren for so long, they also knew it was extremely difficult to change Daren’s mind after he made a decision.

“No one can replace Gongsun Shidi and Vermillion Bird Camp in fighting against the mo military. The battle style of Guard Camp is not suited to guerrilla combat. Shu Long’s personality is steady and is skilled in defense rather than offence. This time, Guard Camp’s mission is to attack the other’s base. I feel that no one is more suited than I am.”

Seeing someone open their mouth to speak, Zuo Mo waved his hand and continued.

“As for the danger, do not mention it in the future. We are fighting with our backs against the wall, there is no retreat. Unless we want to return to what we were before,” Zuo Mo looked around and said in a deep voice, “Are you willing?”

The audience was completely silent.

Before setting their goal, no one had realized this problem and felt it was nothing. But once they set their goal, it was like poking a hole in the umbrella. No one was willing to go back to their previous muddling days.

“When we made this decision,”

Zuo Mo’s gaze slowly swept across everyone. Everyone felt a strong pressure.

“we no longer had the right to fear the consequences!”

Zuo Mo’s tone was aloof but these words were like a sharp sword deeply cutting into stone, and engraving themselves into people’s hearts!

Translator Ramblings: Another chapter about how things are being set up. I think Fang Xiang likes ramping up the tension too much. Zuo Mo sounds so serious and mature, but then I remember this is also the person a few chapters ago that stripped people of their underwear.
