Wu Huan looked at Wu Lian with a serious expression and asked, "Are we going to follow her?"
Wu Lian did not answer immediately and kept her eyes on the people leaving, her face cold and filled with anger.
"She just got lucky," she said. "That's all."
Wu Huan sighed softly.
"I know you're angry," he said, "but this is not about that right now."
She remained silent.
Wu Huan looked ahead at the villagers walking after Liu Yanyu and paused before speaking again.
"I don't like saying this," he said, "but she is helping them."
Wu Lian's lips tightened, but she still did not move.
More people continued to leave, and the space around them slowly became empty.
Wu Huan turned back to her.
"We can't stay here," he said. "If we do, we'll be on our own."
Wu Lian's eyes shifted slightly, but she still did not respond.
Wu Huan waited for a moment, then gave a small nod.
"I'm going," he said.
Wu Lian turned to him quickly.
"You—"
