The others also hastily followed Feng Wu.

Only then did they realize who the leader of this group was. Staying close to Feng Wu was the only thing keeping them from getting eaten by the worms.

Xin Zhixuan and Shan Jingfei were the only ones who didn’t follow their teammates.

Seeing the others walk away, Xin Zhixuan said hastily, “Feifei, we should go with them.”

Shan Jingfei smirked. “I’d rather die than go with her!”

Xin Zhixuan wished she could leave Shan Jingfei here. That way, this girl she had always been jealous of would disappear for good.

However…

Despite the jealousy that was eating her up, Xin Zhixuan knew Shan Jingfei had to be alive if she wanted to continue freeloading off of Shan Jingfei’s privileges.

She tugged at Shan Jingfei. “This isn’t the time to get angry. Remember the saying: Where there is life, there is hope.”

After that, she grabbed Shan Jingfei’s hand and dragged her toward the others.

Shan Jingfei might have stubbornly said some things, but when Xin Zhixuan took her arm, she didn’t try to resist.

The tunnels were pitch dark and suffocatingly narrow.

“Are you sure she can get us out of here?” Shan Jingfei smirked. “How do you know she knows the way?”

Everyone else had remained silent, and her voice sounded exceptionally loud.

No one answered her question.

Shan Jingfei complained, “She’s all safe walking in the front. What if the worms come from behind? She’s so selfish!”

Ye Hongxue couldn’t stand it anymore. She looked over her shoulder and threw a dirty look at Shan Jingfei, although no one could see it in the darkness.

“Can you shut up for a minute?” Ye Hongxue said grumpily. “If you’re so worried about Xiao Wu getting lost, don’t follow us! Find your own way!”

Shan Jingfei was speechless.

Ye Hongxue went on, “You waited for so long before following the team, so don’t blame us for leaving you in the rear!”

Shan Jingfei didn’t know what to say.

Lin Juncheng tugged at Ye Hongxue. “I think you’ve made your point.”

In Ye Hongxue’s eyes, Shan Jingfei was the woman who had tried to steal her man. That was something she would never forgive.

She shouted at Lin Juncheng, “No, I haven’t! She was using herself as the bribe! Why should I respect her when she doesn’t even respect herself?!”

Lin Juncheng remained silent.

Shan Jingfei didn’t know what to say.

The air suddenly felt very thin.

All words failed Shan Jingfei because she had said exactly those words when she sent Xin Zhixuan to bribe Lin Juncheng.

In her current state, there was nothing she could offer to Lin Juncheng except herself.

Of course, she wasn’t actually going to do anything. However, she couldn’t deny she had said such things.

Ye Hongxue sounded so confident because she had interrogated Xin Zhixuan already.

Everyone wished they were somewhere else.

They wondered if Shan Jingfei would say something in retort to Ye Hongxue.

Had she really…

Feng Wu spoke at that moment. “I think we should change course.”

“What’s going on?” the others asked.

Feng Wu said, “Another team is being attacked by Spirit Stone Worms. We can take a detour and give them a hand.”

“Why should we help them?!”
