"Actually, you don't have to take this path just because of me." Ye Shikai felt a bit troubled. Not only was this downhill path rugged and difficult, but it was also very narrow. Fortunately, once they got past this section, there would be a large forest ahead, where they would be relatively safe. As long as they found the right direction, they wouldn't lose their way.
"If your safety is compromised, it would be a blow to all of us." Ji Qian replied indifferently, pointing at the Shadow People behind her. "You don't need to worry about them. They're just opportunists meant to be used. Since they want to use us for safety, they should be prepared to be exploited."
Ji Qian's words were indeed true. Especially with unfamiliar interest groups, there was no such thing as genuine bonds, only mutual exploitation and risk avoidance. Don't forget, these Shadow People were their enemies an hour ago, and if it weren't for them, Aphrodite's plan wouldn't have succeeded so easily.
