Chapter 413: Freedom Brings Joy (1/2)

Once the words left Bai Luochu’s mouth, the entire room fell silent. It was so quiet one could hear their breaths and the chirping of birds outside the room.

After a long time, Pei Qingfeng finally broke the silence. His words were not directed at Bai Luochu, and instead, he chided Pei Rumo. “What were we thinking? Why did we think we would be able to convince her to eat the antidote?”

Pei Rumo started to laugh as well, “Haha, that’s true. We forgot that she is someone who doesn’t change her mind after making a decision.”

Bai Luochu heard the two of them playing the same tune and she was shocked speechless. Her obstinate personality hadn’t changed since a long time ago. Since there was no one able to stop her, she didn’t bother changing it. Even though Bai Luochu felt that recovering without the use of Lu Wenshu’s antidote was the safest way, it was obvious that the two princes didn’t think so. She felt that she had to find a way to convince them.

“Why don’t the two of you listen to what I have to say?”

They were originally optimistic about solving the issue with Bai Luochu’s eyes. However, they never expected her to be so adamant about not using Lu Wenshu’s antidote. They could only allow her to explain herself.

Seeing that the both of them were willing to listen to her explanation, Bai Luochu didn’t waste any more time. “Even though you feel that we are wasting time and delaying the journey, in my opinion, this is the best course of action.”

“There are too many things we are unsure about in the Desolate Region. It won’t benefit us if we are to kill our way over recklessly. Taking a step back, we should slowly consider our options. If I’m correct, we have only explored a small part of the ruins. Even if we are able to avoid the traps, the huge army behind us won’t be able to. Moreover, cultivators like us should be standing on the frontlines if we are to do battle with the other factions in the Desolate Region. The only thing the army can do is to cower behind us. As such, we are not the ones slowing them down.”

“This is also a one in a million chance for myself. Ever since I’ve left the Bestial Battle Arena, I have been moving about alone. My relatives plotted against me in the general’s residence and the Phoenix King Valley had their eyes on me the moment I left the residence. I had to face their attacks head-on and never had the time to rest. In my opinion, I should slow down the pace now since I am blind. I can use the time to consolidate my spirit energy and calm my mind. This is a good thing…”

The room fell into silence after the words left Bai Luochu’s mouth. After all, Bai Luochu spoke of the true thoughts in her heart and the two princes couldn’t find fault in her words.

Pei Rumo’s eyes widened when he heard what Pei Qingfeng said. “She’s messing about and you’re going along with it?!” He felt that his second brother was a little too tactless. Why is he agreeing with her?
