"No! No! No! We... we're willing to leave, we really are!"
They weren't fools, on the contrary, they were quite smart. So after being startled for just a second, they quickly and decisively spoke up. They stuttered with excitent...
Earlier, when they heard Hu Xiaobei telling them to leave, they thought Hu Xiaobei might be playing a trick on them.
Now they knew it wasn't the case. Hu Xiaobei truly wanted to let them go.
Hearing their eager responses, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand impatiently, "In that case, hurry up and get lost!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
After agreeing so excitedly several tis, they quickly ran away in a sorry state.
Seeing this, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes slightly...
He really didn't care about these people at all, after all, they were nothing more than a few defeated foes.
No!
They didn't even count as defeated foes, because in front of him, they didn't even have the courage to fight.
Earlier, Hu Xiaobei extracted the thod to reach their family from them.
Hu Xiaobei planned to check out their living places after this was all over...
To be honest, he was genuinely curious about where they lived...
...
Shortly after, Hu Xiaobei left from there, and as he did, they were still running desperately forward.
They didn't know what Hu Xiaobei was up to, nor did they know if he would change his mind.
So, to them, they had to run as hard as possible because only then could they ensure their survival to the greatest extent.
Just like that, they ran out of The Valley of the Wicked in one go.
Even then, they dared not stop...
Because they still felt it was too close to Hu Xiaobei.
Exchanging a glance, they continued to run frantically forward...
Who knows how long it took, but they all sat on the ground, pale-faced...
They were like this because they were really about to collapse.
Earlier, they ran wildly, which almost consud all their energy.
Of course, there was a benefit, they successfully left The Valley of the Wicked far out of sight...
...
Gazing at The Valley of the Wicked, now barely visible, soone spoke up!
"We're far from The Valley of the Wicked now, we should be safe, right?"
"I think so too!"
"And !"
Hearing these relaxed words, one slightly older person frowned deeply, and said coldly, "Shut up, what if Hu Xiaobei hears you?"
"How could he? We're so far away!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Stop scaring yourselves!"
Hearing this solemn advice, their expressions changed a bit, but soon, they chuckled again.
In their view, what he said was a bit exaggerated...
They were tens of miles from The Valley of the Wicked now; no matter how powerful Hu Xiaobei was, he couldn't hear them talking here...
Seeing they didn't believe his words, the slightly older person frowned and said in a chilling voice, "None of us, including , knows how formidable Hu Xiaobei really is, so it's best not to court death! Otherwise, you'll regret it, and it will be too late to regret!"
"Well... that's true!"
After a little thought, they beca completely silent!
They knew these words might have been excessive, but it's always better to be cautious.
Seeing they heeded his words, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let's rest a bit, then we'll continue to leave. Only once we're thoroughly away from here can we be at ease!"
Hearing this, they nodded.
Quickly, they spoke up with slight apprehension.
"Um... now that our task has completely failed this ti, so... so what kind of punishnt will we face when we go back!"
"Indeed!"
At this point, absolute terror appeared on their faces.
Because they knew they'd certainly face punishnt upon returning, since this ti the task definitely failed...
Seeing their panic, the slightly older person wanted to reassure them, but didn't know what to say, because he knew they were sure to be punished...
Seeing his silence, their eyes grew increasingly dimr...
"We can't let them continue in such despair! Otherwise, it'll really be even more troubleso!"
Originally having no intention to speak, he saw their spirits sinking lower and felt a twitch in his eye...
Soon, he spoke calmly and quickly, "Don't worry too much. Previously, we've helped the family complete many tasks. Even though we failed this ti, the punishnt shouldn't be too harsh. And the failure this ti was mainly due to Su Ye, so I believe they should understand."'
"This..."
Hearing this, they thought for a mont, and their eyes brightened again.
Indeed!
The primary reason for this failure was Su Ye; their own fault was minimal...
Seeing their expressions greatly improve, the slightly older person breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew they had regained their confidence...
...
To be honest, though he acted calm, he was still uncertain inside.
Because he didn't know what kind of punishnt those higher-ups would impose.
Nevertheless, regardless of the punishnt, they had to keep moving...
As he thought this, he heard footsteps...
In an instant, every hair on his body stood on end.
"Is... is it Hu Xiaobei?"
In his frightful state, everyone sitting in disarray on the ground quickly stood up.
Soon, a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed in the direction of the approaching footsteps...
Two people were the most frightened...
Truly, if it weren't for the support of those around them, they would have fallen.
"Huh? Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be on a mission?"
Hearing this slightly surprised voice, they looked carefully and found that the newcor was not Hu Xiaobei, but soone nad Su Hai.
This Su Hai was much stronger than Su Ye...
And held a sowhat significant position in the family...
They hadn't interacted much before, but they knew he wasn't likely to go against them, since they were all family.
Having realized this, they relaxed quickly, and soon, they approached Su Hai.
Su Hai glanced at them and said calmly, "What's going on? I rember you were with Su Ye on a mission, where is Su Ye now?"
Hearing this sowhat grim inquiry, they felt a slight oppressive thread of terror!
"Indeed, Su Hai's strength is quite terrifying!"
Praising thus, they quickly explained, "It's like this, earlier, we encountered a little unexpected issue."
"Unexpected issue?"
Expressing surprise, Su Hai examined them closely and only then noticed their truly disheveled state.
Recalling their terror when they first saw him, Su Hai beca deeply intrigued, "Don't rush, go over everything that happened slowly with . I'd like to know!"
"This..."
Hearing Su Hai's curious question, the corners of their eyes twitched...
Honestly, the previous events were embarrassing, so they really didn't want to tell.
Seeing their hesitation, Su Hai's expression shifted slightly, and quickly he coldly chuckled, "What? Is there sothing I shouldn't know?"
Hearing this low query, they knew he was angry now...
The corners of their eyes twitched, they exchanged a glance...
Soon, they asked softly, "Brother Su, before we speak, we'd like to ask why you're here."
