"John, you're finally back! If you hadn't returned soon, Qing was planning to head back to the Deep Forest to drag you back himself."
Seeing John's return, everyone approached him eagerly. Exiled Immortal continued, "When are we setting off?"
"My initial plan was to leave tomorrow after a good night's rest, but... judging by your expressions, you all seem quite impatient."
"We've been waiting for this! If it weren't for the fear of losing contact, I would have already set off for Spartonia by myself!" Qing patted his chest loudly and laughed, "Let's not wait until tomorrow. Let's leave now!"
Upon hearing this, John smirked but didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Lily.
"Lily, are you okay with this? We don't necessarily have to go to Spartonia. There are many other options. If you really don't want to go, we can split up."
