Chapter 2525

Wu Ming’s resolve seemed unwavering; he still stood in place, motionless.

“Wu Ming.” Baili Xia looked at him, her expression darkening.

If there’s a safe place to go, it’s fine not to return for now.

But outside, they must constantly face the pursuit of those men in black, making it impossible to treat Wu Ming’s injuries.

Why is this guy so stubborn? He doesn’t know how to take care of his own body at all.

Seeing Baili Xia’s concerned eyes, Wu Ming said nothing more and finally nodded.

He still didn’t have much confidence in Bei Tianyou.

However, with both himself and Guisu here, at least, they could be on guard.

Although he didn’t know why he could trust Guisu, he believed in his own judgment.

Bei Tianyou, from beginning to end, was too complicated.

Guisu was different; Guisu…even if Wu Ming didn’t want to admit it, he had to.

Guisu’s intentions towards this girl were truly quite simple.

He simply wanted to protect her, guard her, and ensure her a life of peace.

“…Alright.” As he glanced at Guisu, the look in his eyes was complex.

“At least, I’ll always be here,” Guisu said little, but Wu Ming understood the meaning.

Wu Ming said nothing more.

After resting for a few minutes, the three of them continued walking down the mountain.

Baili Xia supported Wu Ming as they slowly walked forward, while Guisu ran ahead to scout the path first.

After walking a while longer, Baili Xia worried that Wu Ming was tired and wanted him to sit down and rest again.

“Wu Ming, shall we rest a bit before moving on?”

Wu Ming glanced at her lightly, raising an eyebrow.

“Do you really think I’m a disabled person?”

Baili Xia quickly shook her head, “No, it’s just that I’m worried your wound might bleed.”

This guy is too strong-willed; clearly, he’s severely injured yet insists on acting like he’s fine in front of her.

In the cave earlier, he couldn’t even move.

Wu Ming looked over her body; there were a few shallow scars on her arms and back, and the blood had already coagulated.

Seeing these wounds, his heart twinged with pain.

After thinking for a moment, he stopped walking.

“Suddenly my foot hurts a bit, let’s sit down,” he said.

Baili Xia supported him as they walked to a stone and sat down.

She was just about to find something for Wu Ming to eat when he spoke up.

“Girl, do you really not want to return to Mr. Xiaojiu’s side?”

Earlier in the cave, the girl’s answer always left him unsettled.

Baili Xia didn’t think twice before shaking her head without a word.

Wu Ming frowned, his voice lowering.

“Will you find another man?”

…

Guisu, worried they would encounter people from that mysterious organization again, went ahead to scout the path alone.

The first encounter with this organization made him feel its formidable strength.

He was also injured now; if another group like them came, escaping wouldn’t be easy.

After walking a few hundred meters, he saw no one on the road.

Just as he was about to return and join Baili Xia and the others, suddenly, rustling noises in the forest caught his attention.

Guisu immediately hid behind a tree, looking ahead.

A hundred meters ahead, it seemed no different from usual.

But sharp-eyed Guisu still noticed the traces of low shrubs constantly swaying.

You had to admire Guisu’s familiarity with the sounds of the forest.

These slight noises were still nearly a hundred meters away from him, yet he still heard them.

From the movement of the shrubs, it seemed someone was crouching and moving forward there.

Guisu frowned; indeed, what you fear most, always comes!
