"I reckon so," Jiang Wang said. "There's nothing for us in Zhuang Country, and with no living souls left in the Maple Forest City Region, no one knows of our connection anymore."
At that moment, he remembered Li Jianqiu.
That night in Xin'an City, Dong Ah had sent Li Jianqiu away on a pretext before facing him in a life-and-death struggle.
The protection a mentor should offer a Disciple was something he once thought he had too.
However, everything he had once hoped for crumbled along with the fall of Fenglin City.
Li Jianqiu should have known about them, the Maple Forest Five Heroes, but judging from Du Yehu's current situation, he either hadn't spoken of it, or his words had no impact.
"Even if someone else knows, Brother Hu has earned trust through his military achievements," Jiang Wang continued. "Peng Ju and I have parted ways in life and death; to others, the bonds of our Maple Forest Five Heroes may not seem so unbreakable."
