Chapter 103 Everyone Must Stay
Everyone stood up and looked up at the sky.

A dazzling light flashed in the distance, so fast it made one's eyes dazzle.

Within moments, the light vanished, and darkness returned.

Did the sky brighten briefly just now?

"Yes, yes."

"Is this long night finally coming to an end?" someone murmured.

"The past is good, the past is good, let it pass quickly, how can we live in darkness all day long?"

Liang Guang called out, "Hurry up and rest after you've collected your things. We have to continue our journey at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow."

Everyone sighed and lamented, saying that they were living in darkness every day and that time was slowly slipping away.

"Starting tomorrow, we'll make it to Wan'an Prefecture in one go."

"There's not much water left on the road now, so let's take advantage of the good travel conditions and get to Wan'an Prefecture as quickly as possible to avoid any further problems on the way."

After shouting a few times, Liang Guang jogged over to Xin Nian's side and asked respectfully, "Sixth Miss, is that right?"

Xin Nian nodded. "Let's leave it at that for now."

"Oh, by the way, ask them before you leave tomorrow. If they want to leave the group, just let them go on their own."

Liang Guang nodded repeatedly, appearing completely obedient.

"Anyway, even Shengjing City is now submerged. Whether or not to exile depends entirely on everyone's mood, right? In the current situation, the imperial court is practically just a decoration."

"If everyone wants to escape, that's fine with us, let them do as they please."

Xin Nian didn't really want to drag so many people along on her journey. She only needed to take about twenty members of her Xin family with her; that was her father's responsibility, and she had no choice but to take it.

At most, I'd like to bring along my brothers from Dragon Tiger Stronghold, so we can help each other out.

Liang Guang's heart skipped a beat, remembering the "poison" he had taken that day. He quickly pledged his loyalty, "Miss, I can't control what others do now. Anyway, Xiao Jia and the others will definitely follow you all the way. I hope you won't think we're incompetent."

“Yes, yes.” Xiao Jia, Er Dan, Wu Tian and the others nodded hurriedly and said all at once, “Miss, we can work, you must take us with you.”

Just kidding, if they didn't follow this great-grandmother, what if the poison took effect halfway through the journey? Who would they cry to then?

Xin Nian glanced at them with a half-smile, then nodded, "Okay."

Liang Guang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces. "Alright, after you wake up, I'll ask everyone tomorrow. If anyone doesn't want to travel with us, let them leave."

Everyone slept very soundly that night.

The next day at dawn, the old man announced the time precisely, and everyone was summoned before him by Liang Guang and other constables.

"Thanks to the Sixth Miss Xin last night, everyone received enough rations for ten to fifteen days, right? We all have to thank our Sixth Miss Xin for this." The leader's words were indeed skillful; he started by flattering her and then encouraged everyone to express their gratitude.

Then the conversation shifted to the main topic.

"Well, everyone has heard about what's going on with the court, right? The court isn't doing anything anymore, so our exile... well, you all know what's going on."

"The current situation is that we don't know when this darkness will end, or whether life will return to normal. Everyone has received their share of food, so let's just disperse here."

"What? Disband?" Wang Bangyan's mother was the first to jump up and object. "How can that be? If we disband now, what if the court issues another arrest warrant for us when daytime resumes?"

"Yes, yes, we can't disband like this, can we?" "We were supposed to be exiled to the icy wastelands of the North, and this is only the beginning! Weren't we supposed to be going to Wan'an Prefecture? Why are we suddenly disbanding?"

Liang Guang's square face was furrowed with his eyebrows. "Why are you talking so much nonsense when I told you to disband?"

Are these people perhaps sick?
Luan Dalong was right; they were all actively pursuing exile.
They're not happy about letting them go?

"Liang, do you mean the disbandment is valid? What if Shengjing City returns to normal and the Emperor sends people to arrest and execute us again?"

"Do you really think this pitch-black sky can ever be restored?" Liang Guang was furious.

What's wrong with these people? It's like they can't understand anything.

"Liangtou, where are we going?" Master Chang, Chang Shun, and his wife both looked terrified.

“Go wherever you want!” Liang Guang roared. “Your family is in Shengjing, go back there.”

"That won't do!" Madam Chang Er cried out shrilly. "How can you leave us stranded halfway? This place is so far from the capital. If we turn back, who knows what might happen along the way?"

"Besides, didn't you all say that the capital was flooded?"

Xiao Jia's lips twitched. "So what do you mean? You have a chance to leave now, but you won't. Do you want to go back to the Northern Ice Wasteland?"

Everyone looked at each other, then Granny Wang slapped her thigh and collapsed to the ground. "I'm not leaving. Sending us back to Beijing now is practically murder!"

Xiao Jia and Liang Guang exchanged glances, then raised his voice and shouted, "We're going to have to walk quickly for a while, and we might not have time to rest. If you don't want to leave the group, you'll have to keep up with us."

Physician Cheng hurriedly squeezed in front of Liang Guang, "Liang, you must take our family with you! We definitely won't leave the group, we want to go with you."

"Yes, yes, there must be a lot of refugees on the way to Wan'an Prefecture. It's okay if we have a lot of people, but if we get separated, we'll be eaten alive."

"Liangtou".

"Sixth Miss".

Xin Nian's family was having breakfast in the distance, and they could hear the noisy commotion coming from the other side without even going up to them.

Xie Ninglan coughed lightly.

It seems unlikely that my daughter will be able to shake off these burdens...

Before long, Liang Guang jogged up to them, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Sixth Miss, I've informed everyone, but these people... none of them want to leave. They all want to stay and follow our team."

"Even Boss Sha and Boss Pi's group didn't say anything, which means they don't plan to leave the team."

Xin Nian also felt somewhat helpless.

If the team is streamlined, it can move forward quickly. This group of nearly two hundred people is dragging on. When will they reach Wan'an Prefecture?
“Right now, they don’t want to leave.” Xiao Jia curled his lip. “No matter what we say, it’s no use. They’re determined to stay in our team.”

“Then let’s get going.” Xin Nian nodded, her words tinged with ruthlessness. “If you can keep up, then keep up; if you can’t, then good luck.”

Liang Guang and the others nodded, ran over to the crowd and said, "We're about to set off. You can come if you want, or you can fend for yourselves if you don't."

Many people woke up without even having a hot meal.

As soon as they said they were leaving, the Fourth Master of the Xin family, carrying a bright, luminous pearl, led his entire family away in a flurry.

This really worried everyone.
