This time, both Fan Xing and the man were stunned. 'Wait… she's abandoning both of our teams?'
The Fan Family man's face darkened. "Yan Xue, have you forgotten the agreement you signed with the Fan Family before entering the Secret Realm?"
"After entering the Secret Realm, all of you are required to do your utmost to protect us members of the Fan Family. For you to leave now… aren't you…?"
Yan Xue said calmly, "Am I not doing my utmost to protect you right now? You're not in any danger. Besides, is there any clause that says I can't leave the team as I please?"
This left the man speechless. Even Fan Xing carefully recalled the contract's terms, only to realize… there really didn't seem to be any clause forbidding someone from leaving a team mid-way.
It was just that everyone took it as an unspoken rule. They also believed that it was difficult to trust other outside Cultivators, and that having a Fan Family member in the team would actually create a more stable dynamic.
