286 Leaving the Group (1/2)

Either way, everyone agreed that they should find a safer place to rest up.

Song Xia had suffered a severe injury. Xiao Feng had fully recovered from his previous injury, so he could walk normally. However, it was difficult to tell how much time Song Xia needed to recover.

That being said, it was a huge relief that she was still alive.

”Luckily Mu Ningxue managed to freeze the wound in time to stop her from losing blood. Otherwise...” Bai Tingting said.

Song Xia, who had just regained consciousness, cast a thankful glance at Mu Ningxue, who responded with a nod.

”What should we do now?” Zheng Bingxiao asked.

Someone had already been severely injured,and several among the group had argued to retreat. The team no longer shared the same vision, so they were hesitant to proceed with the mission.

”No matter what, I won't leave now.” Mu Ningxue said.

Mu Ningxue did not want to force the others to follow her decision. Even though they had come from different schools, they had come here to train themselves. It served as a test to their capabilities, thus they had no excuse to bail out now.

Mu Nujiao shared the same thought as Mu Ningxue. She came from a renowned family. She clearly knew that if a magician survived such an ordeal with their life at stake, it would have a great impact on the future growth of their cultivation.

Improving their strength was not something that could be done efficiently if they were only staying in the safe zones and meditating every day. The experience they acquired from battles was in fact the most important factor. She believed that if she were to leave now, it would be much more difficult for her to gather her courage to overcome the difficulties she would face in the future.

”Since Mu Ningxue has decided to stay, there's no way I'm leaving either,” Liao Mingxuan said.

Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao were both women. If they were so determined to stay and complete the quest, the men would feel ashamed if they decided to bail out now.

However, Liao Mingxuan, Shen Mingxiao and Ming Cong continued to remain hostile toward Mo Fan. They were still accusing him of placing them in danger.

”Mo Fan, you better shut your mouth up from now on. I don't understand why the directors of the Pearl Institute let such a coward represent their school as an exchange student.” Liao Mingxuan spoke roughly.

Ming Cong nodded in agreement, ”If it weren't for my Deathstrike Magic Equipment, it would have been impossible for us to leave in one piece.”

Mo Fan went up to them and stated grimly, ”If you're looking for a fight, bring it on. I'll take both of you at the same time. I'll make sure to turn you both into cripples, so you can use it as an excuse to bail out.”

In Mo Fan's eyes, it was not worth wasting his time on these two idiots.

Don't you chicken out if you're trying to pick a fight!

”Alright, that's enough! We shouldn't waste any further time. Let's head to the next location.” Mu Nujiao rose from the ground and glared at Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song, who were about to cause a stir.

”I prefer not to hang around with some dogs who only know how to bark. You guys continue on to the next location. I'll investigate another spot myself. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. It will save us some time too.” Mo Fan suggested leaving the team and investigating on his own.

Mu Nujiao immediately advised against it, ”Mo Fan, it's too risky.”

”That's right, it's safer for us to stay together. It will be hard for us to provide any support if you somehow found yourself in danger.” Zheng Bingxiao said.

”Let him be. Humph, I would like to see if he's able to make it back alive,” Liao Mingxuan spat.

”See, he said it himself,” Luo Song said.

Mo Fan wasted no time and insisted on leaving the group.
