Xu Xin turned the bracelet on her wrist: "The monster just said that when we truly go to destroy the Scarlet Crystal, it will be released and draw part of their attention for us."
The monster might indeed attract most of the attention.
If the monster appears, the others might very well think that this entire series of events was caused by the monster, and they will go all out to hunt it down.
This gives Xu Xin and the others the chance to complete their task.
"The monster..." Li Wenxi muttered softly, then hesitated, "Can it really be trusted?"
"There's no point in questioning that now; the plan itself was its suggestion." Xu Xin shook her head lightly. "If we don't trust it, we wouldn't have any reason to be here."
"That's true..." Li Wenxi pursed her lips. "And Sister Gui Xin has communicated with it a lot and now trusts it. I... I trust Sister Gui Xin's judgment. But it just feels unsettling to leave our fate in its hands."
