“It’s to protect the people I care about and prevent them from being hurt.”
“I don’t want to blame myself for not doing anything after something bad happened.”
“Now, our classmates are all facing unknown danger. You can choose to stand by and do nothing, or you can help, just like how I helped you and gathered you all together.”
“Of course, the other students don’t owe you anything. No one has the right to force you to do it. But what if you are in danger one day and they also think the same way?”
“I can’t guarantee that we can make it. I don’t know what kind of terrifying monsters are waiting for us at the destination.” f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦
“But I can guarantee that I will definitely be the arrowhead that walks at the forefront.”
“So, this is the last time I’m asking you. Whoever wants to quit, step out now. No one will blame you.”
At Yan Wuyue’s words, the students ‘expressions changed slightly, as if they were thinking deeply.
“Nonsense!”
At this moment, a familiar female voice interrupted Yan Wuyue when she was about to continue.
Yan Wuyue looked over with a frown. It was Zhao Anqi, her old rival.
Zhao Anqi came with dozens of students behind her. She walked toward Yan Wuyue’s side and sneered, “You said that you would be at the forefront, but who knows if you would be the first to leave everyone behind when you encounter danger? Why do I feel like you’re using their lives to open a path for you?”
Yan Wuyue did not get angry. Instead, she looked at Zhao Anqi and replied calmly, “Then, what do you think we should do now?”
Zhao Anqi looked around and said confidently, “We shouldn’t put everyone’s lives at risk right now to go to the core area, which is very dangerous.”
“I think the first thing we need to do now is to lead everyone to the wall and try to find a way to send everyone out instead of moving towards more dangerous areas.”
“All of you have your parents and family, and they should be worried about you right now. So what you should do now is to leave this place and meet them outside, not go to dangerous places again.”
Yan Wuyue thought it was quite interesting. She didn’t expect Zhao Anqi to be so eloquent.
Many students were already hesitating after listening to Zhao Anqi’s words.
“Even if we can’t get out of the wall, many of the summoned spirits among us can dig tunnels. We can totally dig a tunnel out from the ground.”
“This way, everyone can safely leave this d*mn place.”
Many students nodded in agreement with Zhao Anqi.
Yan Wuyue could understand. After all, Zhao Anqi’s statement was to ensure their own safety first, which was the easiest statement to change people’s stance and thoughts.
Following that, Zhao Anqi walked over to Zhou Mingrui.
“I know you are a summoning spirit with high intelligence, so I did not mind you offended me last time.”
“But I have to ask, why are you still following a summoner that only does harm to people? Why don’t you just terminate the contract? I can help you choose a good summoner.”
“I have a method that allows the summoning spirit to sign another contract with another summoner after terminating the original contract.”
“As long as you’re willing to come to my side, I’ll personally give you three million in cash after the contract is terminated.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wuyue said disdainfully, “Do you think you can drive a wedge between my summoned spirit?”
However, just as she finished her sentence, she heard Zhou Mingrui say, “I think you’re right. She’s not an excellent summoner. I think we can reach good cooperation.”
Just as Yan Wuyue was about to speak, Zhou Mingrui’s voice rang in his mind, “This is my arrangement. This way, we can get rid of the fence-sitters in your team. When they really realize the danger, they will completely abandon their thoughts and listen to your command.”
“Also, I want to confirm something. I can use them to help me complete it. Take the rest of the people to the center now. I’ll come to you as soon as I’m done here.”
After hearing Zhou Mingrui’s explanation, Yan Wuyue immediately understood. However, she still put on an angry expression and said, “Since you think Zhao Anqi is better than me, then our fate ends here. I hope you can live well with her in the future.”
When Yan Wuyue said these words, she even pretended to suppress her anger.
Seeing this, Zhao Anqi laughed out loud like a villain.
“I didn’t expect you to have this day, Yan Wuyue. Even your summoning spirit doesn’t want you anymore. If I were you, I’d just dig a hole and bury myself.”
“Come on, trust me. Let’s go now. We don’t need to listen to this woman’s commands.”
Zhao Anqi gave Yan Wuyue a disdainful smile, then turned around and left with her men toward the wall.
Out of the hundred or so people at the scene, nearly eighty of them immediately left with Zhao Anqi. Zhou Mingrui naturally followed her.
Yan Wuyue glanced at the less than 30 people left, and a gratified smile appeared on her face. “I believe you understand what I said earlier.”
“Zhao Anqi is right, your family and friends are still waiting outside, so I didn’t stop them from leaving.”
“But don’t forget there are still many of our classmates in the arena, and their family and friends are waiting for them outside too.”
“If we just walk away irresponsibly like this, what will happen to the rest of the students?”
“If you really go out, will you really be able to sleep peacefully without feeling any guilt?”
“I can’t face the eyes of their family and friends without feeling guilty at all. So, I’m going to the core area now to solve the problem there and save all the students in the arena.”
“Now, follow my lead!”
With that, Yan Wuyue turned around and walked toward the core of the mystic realm.
After a moment’s hesitation, the remaining 30 people also quickly followed behind Yan Wuyue.
“Those who follow me today are warriors. We will fight like heroes and die as heroes!”
When Yan Wuyue suddenly read out these words, the students who followed her immediately felt their blood boiling. Adrenaline began to secrete in their bodies immediately, and the trace of worry and fear in their hearts completely disappeared.ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
