In the evening, Zhang Xiaohou also gave his response. The guy had made it clear that he would be there, even if it meant him being disciplined.
Zhang Xiaohou was all clear, so all that was left was his decision about bringing Xinxia along.
At night, Mo Fan was just about to call Zhang Xiaohou to stop preparing, as he had decided to call off the adventure. Unfortunately, Xinxia had given him a call instead.
Mo Fan knew if it were something he needed, and if Xinxia could help, she would not hesitate to help him, even if it meant placing herself in danger by going to the Dunhuang region.
However, Mo Fan was not willing to do so. He was already self-reproving that Xinxia's movement was impaired. If something were to go wrong with her, he would never forgive himself.
Mo Fan told Xinxia his thoughts.
”Brother Mo Fan, you've been taken good care of me for so long, so I can do whatever I want without worrying too much. If you insist on not letting me go, I'll listen to you, but when I heard about your accident last time, I felt so sad. I've saved many people with my Healing Element, but I can't do anything for you. All I could do is worry and pray for you. I want to be by your side, I want to be closer to you. I don't want to wait somewhere alone by myself, and left in meaningless, deep regret when something happens and I won't able to help you in any way...” Xinxia's voice was soft, yet firm.
Xinxia was born with a gentle character. Her impaired movement made her look pitiful, but Mo Fan knew she was bright and strong on the inside. When she was abandoned in the supermarket during the calamity of Bo City, if she actually accepted her fate, she would not have hidden inside the cold fridge when the chances of her surviving were so slim.
Mo Fan felt Xinxia's words knocking some sense into him. He had focused too much on protecting Xinxia, not allowing any foul air to drift closer to her sacred body.
Maybe it was true that he had protected her from the wind and rain like a big tree, but he had also blocked the brilliance that belonged to her, and the scent she wanted to emit for him...
After a long pause, Mo Fan finally agreed that he should respect Xinxia's decision. She was willing to be protected because of her trust and respect of him, yet she was even more willing to stay by his side and contribute more.
As Mo Fan nodded and agreed that Xinxia could come along, her pleasant giggle came from the other end of the call, clearly anticipating the adventure.
Because of her situation, even training was impossible for her, let alone any adventure in the wild. Her impaired movement gave her a strong desire to go out and see the world, the vast skies and lands. She was not weary of her familiar environment, it was just a natural yearning.
After hearing Xinxia's laughter, the last hint of worry in Mo Fan's heart gradually dissipated. Being able to experience the desert, which was completely different from the south, was most likely a luxury for the girl. He should not lock her up, but fulfill her dreams as much as possible...

Mo Fan had basically decided on the team members: the intelligence capsule Lingling, the fearless forward Zhang Xiaohou, and the super support Xinxia.
Zhao Manyan had also brought along a trustworthy Magician, also from the Zhao Family, called Chen Yi, an Earth Magician.
The desert was filled with Earth Elemental power, followed by Fire Element. Even though Zhang Xiaohou's secondary Earth Element fulfilled the basic requirement of needing an Earth Magician, it was safer to bring another Earth Magician along.
