Hui Mu hurriedly shook his head.
"It's not a question of whether it's a lot or not. I'm genuinely worried about you. You're traveling all by yourself with so many precious things. It'll be a huge problem if you run into people from other tribes and they get greedy. How about… I help you take them back to your tribe? It's on my way, so it's no trouble at all."
Chu Jing raised an eyebrow, and alarm bells instantly screamed in her mind.
'His words sound so noble, offering to escort me.'
'Who knows if he has ulterior motives?'
'Is he trying to use this as a chance to find out where I live? To go back and set up an ambush, waiting for the next opportunity to rob me?'
Her gaze grew cold. She took an imperceptible half-step back, her fingers silently coming to rest on the hilt of the dagger at her waist.
But Hui Mu just stood there quietly, his eyes limpid and free of any guile.
He was still wondering.
'Why did Bad Sister suddenly get so tense?'
