Gu Simu had run out of patience. Enduring had never been her style. With a dark expression, she spoke and began gathering her true energy. But just as she prepared to step forward, Zhongren blocked her path with a single movement.
"Girl, why are you always in such a rush?" he chided her. "Dark Master wouldn't come here unless he was prepared. If you go out there and fight, you might end up with more trouble than you're ready for."
"Uncle Zhongren, are we really going to just let them be?" Gu Simu's face darkened. She couldn't just swallow this insult; the indignation in her heart wouldn't be calmed.
"As long as we are here, there is no need for you to take action," Zhongren assured her, his gaze shifting to Ding True Man, Shadow Slave, and the others. They were all subordinates of Gu Lan, and today, it would be their turn to take action.
The others nodded in understanding, signaling that they were ready.
