"Ah You, co and carry Brother Binbin back."
"Okay!"
Lin Shuyou ran over and lifted Tan Wenbin onto his back.
As soon as he did, Lin Shuyou noticed sothing was amiss. Initially, Brother Bin's body was icy cold, but after a while, he felt a trace of warmth.
Hmm, surprisingly not completely cold!
Usually, when Brother Bin was in this state, it was like he'd been put in a freezer. If not for the faint breath, he'd look more dead than a corpse.
Seemingly sensing Lin Shuyou's stunned state, Tan Wenbin pinched his waist.
The force wasn't strong, but the location was spot-on. Lin Shuyou imdiately raised his head, a lump in his throat: "Brother Bin, please don't close your eyes, don't fall asleep. I'm taking you ho now~"
Saying this, Lin Shuyou waded through the water, carrying Tan Wenbin out.
This cave might be a good hiding spot, but it's not suitable for a fight. If people block the entrance from outside, they'd be at a disadvantage being trapped inside.
Li Zhiyuan looked at Xin Jiyue and Wu Qinhai, and said, "Thank you for taking care of Brother Binbin."
Xin Jiyue shook his head and said, "Brother Bin saved and protected ."
Wu Qinhai agreed, "That's right, without Brother Bin, we would have died several tis already."
Li Zhiyuan: "Well, we're all in the sa boat now. I hope you can follow my lead from here on. I promise to do my utmost to get you safely off this island."
Wu Qinhai: "No problem, we'll follow your lead."
Xin Jiyue's gaze fell on Tan Wenbin, who was on Lin Shuyou's back, and after a brief pause, said, "Yes, we'll listen to you."
Li Zhiyuan thought Wu Qinhai was more likely to be the traitor.
Because Xin Jiyue had been to Nantong, and the one under Peach Forest would not allow external evils to enter their domain.
Moreover, Xin Jiyue was clearly infatuated with Tan Wenbin. As a traitor, playing the emotion card seed like a good strategy, but it was very risky and could backfire.
However, Xin Jiyue being the traitor couldn't be completely ruled out either.
Li Zhiyuan suspected there might be an extre scenario...where even the traitor doesn't know they're the traitor.
Leaving the cave, back on the shore, Li Zhiyuan chose a flatter area.
"Let's set up camp here."
Wu Qinhai reminded them, "Setting up camp here might be too conspicuous?"
Li Zhiyuan: "No worries, here is fine."
Visibility wasn't a concern; since there was a traitor, it wasn't that they hadn't been found because they were well-hidden, but rather because the traitor pretended not to find them.
Rather than hiding in so corner, it's better to choose an open area suitable for fighting. Whatever cos, will co anyway.
"Brother Runsheng, Wu Qinhai, you keep an eye over there. Ah You, Xin Jiyue, you go over there."
After a quick glance, Run Sheng and Wu Qinhai nodded and left.
Lin Shuyou didn't say much and went to the spot placed by Brother Xiao Yuan. But Xin Jiyue hesitated in his steps and asked, "Can I stay and help take care of him?"
Li Zhiyuan: "No. I need a quiet environnt to treat Tan Wenbin."
Xin Jiyue nodded, "Alright, I believe you can heal him."
She was more wary of the young man in front of her than Run Sheng, who had defeated her twice.
Once Xin Jiyue left, Li Zhiyuan began to set up the tent himself, hiding the small array flags within and setting up an isolation array.
Yin ng wanted to help but realized Brother Xiao Yuan was setting up the array, so she stood still.
Li Zhiyuan: "Since you're not busy, why don't you cook sothing?"
Yin ng: "Huh?"
Li Zhiyuan: "It's good to prepare in advance. While there's plenty of ingredients and spices in the bag, start preparing a pot."
Yin ng understood: "Got it."
She quickly sat down, set up the pot, and lit the alcohol burner.
Brother Xiao Yuan's voice ca again:
"Focus, even if you're deceiving yourself, believe that this is the al we'll eat later."
"I understand!"
Yin ng placed her hand on her chest and started deep breathing.
Once a trait is discovered, it inevitably gets summarized and docunted.
The potency of the poison when Yin ng cooked was directly related to how much effort she put into the dish, or the feelings infused into it.
Simply put, the more she tries to make the dish delicious, the more poisonous it becos.
If she concentrates on making it as a poison, its poisonous effect is significantly reduced.
After repeatedly self-hypnotizing, Yin ng started tearing open packets and tossing dehydrated vegetables into the pot.
As she cooked, an expectant smile appeared on her face.
In truth, the al's poison can't compare to a properly concocted poison potion, but as Li Zhiyuan said, when idle, prepare a pot as a backup anyway.
Wu Qinhai turned to look at Run Sheng, curious, "Who exactly are you people?"
Run Sheng did not answer.
Wu Qinhai asked again, "Where are you from?"
Run Sheng still did not answer.
Wu Qinhai: "You don't trust ?"
Run Sheng: "Mm."
Wu Qinhai opened his mouth, took a mont, then sighed in acceptance, "Once Brother Bin is fully awake, he can tell you whether I'm trustworthy."
At another guard point.
Xin Jiyue looked at Lin Shuyou, "Isn't Brother Bin from Jinling?"
Lin Shuyou: "He could also be from Fujian."
Xin Jiyue asked with a bit of resentnt, "Is he from Nantong? But he told he was from Jinling."
