Lan Ying turned her head and looked at each of the other beautiful girls in their team.

There was evidently an unspoken agreement amongst them, or perhaps they had already worked it out beforehand.

The girls whom Lan Ying looked at, smiled and nodded one by one, their expressions filled with determination.

Finally, Lan Ying nodded at two young women on the outermost edge of their team, both weaker and in the late stages of the Blood Refinement Realm.

These two young women seemed to have received an order, and they each opened a large backpack that they were carrying.

They took out two large canvases from their backpacks.

They spread out the canvases and linked them together with zippers to form a large tent.

As both girls were martial artists, their movements were swift. Surrounding Xiao Mu at the center, they rapidly set up the tent. In less than ten minutes, a large tent was successfully set up, sheltering Xiao Mu and Lan Ying inside.

The two young girls glanced at Lan Ying and the others with serious expressions; their eyes filled with sadness.

Then, they exited the tent and zipped it closed.

Xiao Mu remained in his original position, motionless.

Lan Ying and the others looked at each other before slowly starting to undress.

Xiao Mu felt his heart tremble in shock. He had never anticipated they would do this, and he momentarily stood there stunned.

"Mr. Xiao."

Lan Ying's voice trembled, even though they decided to act this way, she was evidently filled with unease,"As long as you can kill Xu Jiang and avenge Xu Yan, you can do anything you want with the eleven sisters remaining in our team."

Xiao Mu stayed silent, his gaze moved from Lan Ying to the others.

He observed carefully, so as not to miss anything.

This made Lan Ying and the others feel uncomfortable, but none of them tried to hide.

With determination in her eyes, Lan Ying said again: "Mr. Xiao, you can do whatever you want as long as you help us kill Xu Jiang."

"Ah."

Xiao Mu sighed, shaking his head regrettably, "I must say, your offer is indeed quite tempting."

"I would accept it if not for the exceptional strength of the Greenfin Clan."

"Mr. Xiao, you..."

Lan Ying was frantic, something in Xiao Mu's tone gave her a bad feeling.

Xiao Mu sighed,"Get dressed!"

The others looked at Lan Ying, unsure of what to do.

Lan Ying also didn't know what to do next. After glancing at Xiao Mu and then back at her sisters, she finally nodded.

With the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, they soon were all well-dressed again.

"I'm puzzled."

Xiao Mu finally spoke, full of confusion, "Everyone might die. Xu Jiang killed one of your sisters, Xu Yan, right? But even if you wanted to take revenge for her, is this really necessary? She isn't your biological sister."

He didn't understand and didn't believe that feelings between people could be so deep.

Lan Ying and Xu Yan were just teammates, their relationship should be purely cooperative. Yet, they were willing to pay such a high price for her revenge?

It doesn't make sense.

Lan Ying shook her head with a sorrowful smile, "Biological sisters may not necessarily be close, and non-biological sisters may not be distant. Mr. Xiao finds it hard to understand because he is not aware of the feelings between us."

"Though we met by chance, we grew deep bonds of affection from battling and possibly dying together. These feelings naturally can't be compared to ordinary ones."

"Alright, then."

Xiao Mu didn't know what else to say.

Perhaps, the bond between teammates was indeed like this.

He said seriously: "If it were just Xu Jiang, I might have agreed to your request."

"However, the strength of the Greenfin Clan is too strong, with too many martial arts experts. Even for me, acting rashly would only be a suicide mission. Sorry, but I can't accept your request."

"Mr. Xiao, you..."

Lan Ying was frantic.

Xiao Mu was their last hope. If even he refused, they wouldn't know who else to ask for help.

Xu Jiang was too strong, at least currently not someone they could contend with.

The tone of Xiao Mu's voice suddenly changed,"However, if conditions permit and there's an opportune moment, I wouldn't mind helping you out."

Under the right circumstances, he really wouldn't mind getting rid of Xu Jiang.

Not for Lan Yin and the others, but because he had no good impressions of those who betray humans and collude with alien species.

Lan Ying, who was initially stunned, broke into surprise, then excitedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, thank you!"

"Don't rush to thank me."

Xiao Mu said seriously; "I haven't promised you anything, nor have I said that I would certainly get rid of Xu Jiang. I merely said that if there is an opportune moment and the conditions allow, I wouldn't mind arranging his demise."

"That's enough."

Lan Ying's eyes lit up, filled with joy.

"Mr. Xiao, we have another matter which we would like to ask for your help."

As Chen Yanli suddenly approached, she appeared very uneasy.

The expression on Xiao Mu's face instantly turned dark as he coldly said, "Did you assume I am agreeable?"

He was slightly irritated, feeling as if Lan Ying and the others were pushing their luck.

In his irritation, the power of his Xuanmen Zhenggang surged to its fullest, and his momentum suddenly soared.

An invisible force radiated out from Xiao Mu like a ring, pressuring Lan Ying, Chen Yanli, and the others with an irresistible force.

"Ah~"

Lan Ying, Chen Yanli and the others instantly felt an intangible force pressuring them.

The force was too enormous and irresistible. Several of them bent over and involuntarily knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Xiao, please show mercy!"

Lan Ying anxiously pleaded for mercy and commanded Chen Yanli, "Yan Li, quickly apologize to Mr. Xiao!"

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I was impulsive before."

Pressured by Xiao Mu's aura, Chen Yanli looked pained as she softly apologized.

Xiao Mu grunted and retracted his aura.

However, his face was still grim. If Lan Ying and the others continued making unreasonable demands, he wouldn't hesitate to teach them a lesson first.

Lan Ying, Chen Yanli and the others slowly stood up, their look towards Xiao Mu held a touch more of awe.

They had finally understood Xi Mu's immense strength.

Lan Ying said, "Mr. Xiao please let me explain. It was Yanli who was not clear just now, which resulted in a misunderstanding."

"True, we do have something else we want your help for, but we are also prepared to offer a substantial reward. If Mr. Xiao is not willing to help after seeing the reward, we won't insist."

"Oh."

Xiao Mu's face relaxed slightly.

"Mr. Xiao, please take a look at this."

As Lan Ying spoke, she turned to Chen Yanli, who, after a cue from Lan Ying, carefully approached Xiao Mu, "Mr. Xiao, please look."

With this, she took a small, rough clay jar filled with spiritual energy from her backpack. She held it carefully in both hands and offered it to Xiao Mu with due respect.
