"Let's reside in the corner of the courtyard instead of entering the temple," Han Yaolu managed to squeeze out a smile and suggested. "Red Master surely left because he feared we might become too dependent. He must be looking after us from the shadows..."
"That must be it..." Guo Zixuan nodded, his face a picture of misery.
Ma Jingxuan struggled to steady her mind, no longer having Red Master to rely on. Waves of panic and unease surged relentlessly within her.
But as the team leader, if she panicked now, the entire team would fall into chaos.
"It should be the case. Let's just focus on completing the task. Since the sect has assigned us this mission, it means we are capable of handling it on our own. As long as we are careful, there should be no issues."
"Sister is right."
Guo Zixuan quickly agreed.
"Let's start a fire first, then set up the tents."
The group entered the Taoist temple and began to busy themselves.
