Long Chen's heart jolted.
How did they get here?
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Dong Xuan and the others arrived at Long Chen's side with incredible speed.
Lin Feifei was the first to speak, asking anxiously, "Long Chen, how are you?"
"I'm fine," Long Chen said, shaking his head. "It's just… I'm on the verge of a breakthrough. I need some time to overcome this bottleneck as quickly as possible."
"As long as you're okay," Dong Xuan said with a nod. "Leave the rest to us!"
"That's right!" Lin Feifei added, her tone resolute. "You've already done more than enough. Let us handle what comes next."
"But they're targeting me, not you." Long Chen was moved by their words, but he still insisted, "You all should get out of here. I can…"
Before he could finish, Wei Lin cut him off. "Kid, no one has ever impressed me, Wei Lin, this much. Since I came to save you, that means I consider you one of us."
"What? You want us to leave? Is it because you don't see us as your own people?"
