"Alright."
Since Ji Yuan spoke up, Qiu Qianhai didn't bother with pointless arguments, saying things like Xiong Youfu was trustworthy.
"What should we do now? Run or fight? I'll follow your lead."
Ji Yuan instinctively thought of saying "fight," but as the words reached his lips, he suddenly stopped.
Life is precious; one must not be careless.
For things like talisman painting or alchemy, he could make countless mistakes, but in matters of life and death, he could only afford to err once at most.
So, he finally said, "Run!"
Running when possible, and fighting only when necessary, was Ji Yuan's guiding principle.
"Alright."
"If we run, do you have a place to go?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Yes," Qiu Qianhai nodded, "Go to Black Water Square. Of all the markets in Cloud Rain Marsh, Black Water Square is the most chaotic, much like this Clear Wave Pond, filled with a mix of people. I've been hiding there before."
