Master Yu Sheng, though clueless about what Xing Yu intended to do, saw that his master's expression was unmistakably off, and therefore didn't dare to act rashly.
Master Yu Sheng halted, eyeing Xing Yu warily. He had been overconfident just now and hadn't expected they would have a fallback option. Did Master Yu Sheng also notice that their backup was the creature in the sky that seemed to be dead?
Master Yu Sheng didn't understand the crux of it but had now cooled down completely. That creature was too bizarre; he couldn't afford to be impulsive.
Ju Nanyi was also stunned but realized the next moment that this wasn't likely Zheng Nianru's idea—it was either Yin He's or that sneaky ploy of Elder Can and Elder Su.
"Yu Sheng, come back—" Master Huo Yi's voice came from behind. At the same time, he slowly began to advance. Yu Sheng didn't want to retreat, but since his master had spoken, he could only step back reluctantly.
