Chapter 738: Smart and Foolish
“Let’s go. I’ll take the lead. Shangguan and Earth, stay behind me. Mountain and Basket, protect our rear,” Ye Qing instructed. “Everything here is chaotic and out of order, so be on your guard.”
“Yes, young master!” Mountain Tunneling King and Mrs. Basket responded. Shangguan Hongjin and Pedant Earth humbly accepted the advice as well.

Ye Qing immediately caught their arms and quelled the disturbances in their vigor and true qi.
