Chiang Xiao felt that she hadn't misjudged the person.
This great-uncle of hers indeed had much more courage than her grandfather did.
She had sought this ally, this comrade-in-arms, also hoping that he would be supportive and able to persuade her grandfather.
Unexpectedly, Ge Dejun was even more supportive than she had anticipated.
He actually managed to convince her grandfather! Moreover, with a generous gesture, he was prepared to take Xu Linjiang with him to Bai Gu Mountain the next day.
Liu Pei also showed strong support.
"Brother-in-law, big sister, you don't have to worry too much now," Liu Pei said. "De Jun is right, we are starving despite sitting on a mountain of treasure! De Jun used to hunt in the mountains when he was young. He's still capable and has some experience. Lin Jiang is young and strong; it's just a mountain climb, why shouldn't we dare? We are almost out of options now, what's the use of fearing this and that?"
