"Sect Leader, how about I lead some people to hold them off outside the mountain gates while you notify Mr. Bai? Even though their numbers are large, their true experts are few—just three to five Nascent Soul pinnacle masters. The rest barely amount to any Nascent Soul cultivators!"
Li San, seeing Xiao Mei somewhat hesitant, considered for a moment before softly suggesting to her.
"No need, I'm already here!"
At that moment, Bai Xiaofan's voice sounded from the side.
Soon after, Bai Xiaofan stepped into view, clad in clean garments Xiao Mei had found for him. His pace was unhurried yet confident.
Seeing Bai Xiaofan's arrival, Xiao Mei's delicate face noticeably relaxed.
Perhaps even Xiao Mei herself hadn't realized when it started, but at some point she'd come to rely on Bai Xiaofan so deeply.
If it were her former self, in situations like this, she would have decisively led Li San and the others to charge out at the very first moment.
