"If Elder Chen plans to assimilate his gains, then it is only right for me to act as Elder Chen's protector for a while,"
After Fang Yuan had thought it through, he quickly made up his mind.
He had almost gathered all the Xunmu Spirit Liquid he needed; joining up with other forces within the Xunmu Cave Heaven posed equally great risks. It might be better to continue following Chen Mu all the way. After all, the forces gathering in that area would be embroiled in a big battle with the Spirit People Race, so he and Chen Mu would not face any further threats or disturbances, ensuring a peaceful passage through the coming month.
"That's fine."
Chen Mu nodded slightly to Fang Yuan.
