"Where are we going?" Chen Xiao asked nervously as he followed Liu Tao into a deeper part of the forest.

"Look…" Liu Tao stopped moving for a moment and turned around to face the former class monitor with a serious expression on her face.

"We are useless… we are nothing but a burden for Qin Lan and Liu Yifei… they have abilities, and we don't."

"Yes… but Sister Lan said that she is going to train us so that we can defend ourselves…" Chen Xiao retorted angrily.

"After she finishes training Liu Yifei… can you wait that long? What if something happens?" Liu Tao replied shakily as her body trembled with an emotion that Chen Xiao could not place.

Liu Tao's words hung in the air and despite his best efforts, Chen Xiao could not help but agree with her point.

"So, what do you want to do?" Chen Xiao asked in a defeated tone.
