Nie Yun was taken aback. He replayed his analysis in his mind, then turned to look at Bai Moyu. In a low, incredulous voice, he asked, "Are you saying that Zhou Fan wanted us to stay behind, and that confronting these people is just a pretense? That his real purpose is to provide backup for other allies and stop more people from advancing?"
"That's probably it. Perhaps his greatest fear isn't being besieged by the prodigies of the three major sects, but that after he rescues that woman, he won't be able to get her away safely."
Bai Moyu spoke softly, wondering to himself, 'Does Zhou Fan really have other people coming to help?'
'Even though the few of them were on Zhou Fan's side for now, their sects wouldn't send reinforcements just because of that. After all, with the situation still so uncertain, no sect was willing to truly antagonize the top three sects!'
