Following his gaze, Ruan Fu realized she was still tightly gripping Jiuyou's arm. She immediately let go.
She curled her lips in a nonchalant manner. "Why are you here?"
Seeing her release her grip, the coldness on Mo Ran's face faded slightly. He let out a cold scoff. "If I weren't here, you wouldn't find Guna and the others even if you wandered around all day. Let's go. I'll take you back."
He turned to walk forward but suddenly paused. He didn't resume his pace until Ruan Fu and Jiuyou caught up, allowing them to walk side by side.
Ruan Fu glanced at him from the corner of her eye and couldn't help but mutter softly, "You're supposed to be leading the way, yet you insist on walking right beside us. Honestly..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her foot slipped. Losing her balance, she pitched forward. Just as she was about to hit the ground, two hands shot out from the left and right, grabbing her arms and steadying her firmly.
