Liu Kai started. He had thought Ji Fengyan would be seeking backup herself, he never expected… she would actually send him instead.
Heading back now was naturally the safest option, whereas staying on was the most dangerous.
The originally apprehensive youths lowered their heads in guilt at Ji Fengyan's decision. They dared not even look at her obviously pallid face.
"I'm not going! My condition is still pretty good, and I can stay back to fight with you guys." Liu Kai refused.
Ji Fengyan kicked Liu Kai to the ground.
"I am entrusting this task to you precisely because you are still physically able. The others would probably faint halfway there. Honestly, I don't think you fools could stay on the sword if I didn't tie you to it."
Despite being kicked in the chest, Liu Kai didn't feel pain - instead he felt a tight squeeze.
