Chapter 2378: Working Together (7)
Di Fuyi said nothing more. There were so many kinds of poisonous creatures lingering around in the swamp. The sudden emergence of the beast did not surprise him. Fortunately, the incident was finally over.
Yun Qingluo’s Kung Fu was the worst among them all. She was taking the lead before, but Di Fuyi decided that she should walk in the middle of the line in order to prevent the same incident from happening. She promptly agreed to him. Nevertheless, the two escorts from the palace continued to stay by her side to protect her.
Di Fuyi, along with Gu Xijiu, took turns to take the lead while Zhu Duqing remained as the last man in the line. Gu Xijiu could understand why Di Fuyi wanted to lead, but she did not quite know why he had to take her together with him.
She was just as weak, with only a year left to spare if she did not find the cure. It would not be so appropriate for her to take the lead, would it? In fact, she was not allowed to use her spiritual power at the moment to prevent worsening her situation. It would be better to avoid using her power at all in order to prevent the toxins in her body from reacting again.
Furthermore, even though she had agreed to take the lead with him, she did understand why he had to keep holding her hand. She tried to suppress the urge to question him but failed. "I think we should keep a distance from one another. If anything happens unexpectedly, at least one of us may survive the attack."
Di Fuyi was holding her left hand and did it so naturally. "You are good at teleporting. If there really is any unexpected event, I believe that we can immediately teleport to safety," he swiftly replied.
Gu Xijiu did not argue with him, so both of them continued the journey. If they chose to teleport away in times of danger and left the rest of the people to die, it would not be entirely inappropriate. However, she recalled how Di Fuyi risked his life just to get Yun Qingluo to safety. The past incident was really a close call.
