"You are truly magnanimous, Hero Dugu!"
Hearing this, Zhang Da'er beamed and gave Dugu Xiang a thumbs-up.
Dugu Xiang immediately took the lead, guiding the group down the mountain.
Xiaotao stuck nervously to Zheng Xiu's side. In the presence of these elites of the Martial World, she hardly dared to breathe. The others could tell at a glance that the girl beside "Xiao Buping" knew no Martial Arts. They simply dismissed her as one of Bandit Xiao's dalliances, paying her no mind and treating her as if she were invisible.
Xiaotao gently tugged on Zheng Xiu's sleeve.
Zheng Xiu gently patted the back of her hand, signaling for her not to be nervous.
"Don't worry. I'm here."
Zheng Xiu said calmly with a faint smile.
"Okay, Young Master."
Xiaotao nodded emphatically.
Dugu Xiang led the way, heading down the mountain.
The others followed behind him, keeping a certain distance from one another. They remained wary and silent.
