Although leaving wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, without Zhou Fanghua’s outburst, she wouldn’t have been so determined. It was Zhou Fanghua’s troublemaking that made her decide to seize the opportunity to entirely sever ties with Qiu Yiming.
Zhou Fanghua likely made such an unreasonable demand because she guessed that after the rupture between the Qiu Family and the Fang Family, there was a concern they would wholly align with General Song. Moreover, it was intended to ensure Qiu Yiming would give up on her completely. And with their limited manpower, survival outside the Safe Zone was bound to be perilously slim.
As a mother, Zhou Fanghua’s swift change of mind in devising such a plan was admirable, albeit excessively selfish and cruel!
While pondering silently, Fang Yuxin watched Chen Qiao and his five companions, waiting for their answer. She specifically raised this question to see their response and whether they were willing to take the risk and follow her.
If these people were willing, then she would naturally treat them more favorably in the future. But if they were not, the only remaining connection between them would be the Blood Oath.
The question was clearly not easy to answer; all six were silent, evidently deep in thought.
Fang Yuxin was patient. She didn’t hurry them and simply redirected her attention to her meal. She thought she would have to wait a long time but was surprised when someone soon spoke up.
The first to respond was Shang Jinxiu, with a very determined expression and not a hint of hesitation or fear, "My life was saved by Sister Xin. Wherever Sister Xin goes, I will go. Whatever Sister Xin asks me to do, I will do." freewebnσvel.cѳm
Her answer was too straightforward. The others didn’t have the same courage and couldn’t be as resolute as her.
They were weighing the pros and cons.
With this thought, his resolve gradually solidified.
With Shang Jinxiu and Chen Qiao leading by example, the other four people stopped hesitating and gradually voiced their thoughts, all willing to follow Fang Yuxin and the others.
At the same time, these people, like Chen Qiao, came to find the Safe Zone increasingly unappealing.
Fang Yuxin was quite satisfied with their responses. Although these people had made their decision after weighing the pros and cons and might not all be sincere, the choices they made already involved great risks.
She smiled and said, "Alright, since you all say so, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. I am planning to leave the Safe Zone, and it’s set for tomorrow. However, before we leave, we definitely need to make some preparations. Let me ask again, are you truly willing to leave the Safe Zone with us? We don’t know the exact situation outside now, and once we leave the Safe Zone, it could be very dangerous. Have you really thought it through?"
This time, the six did not hesitate. After all, they were all superpower users and had been through many battles, quite tough mentally. Since they had already made their decision earlier, they wouldn’t easily go back on their word.
