“The next time we face a challenge, don’t worry about me. He will save me.”

Bai Youwei glanced casually at Shen MO beside her and said calmly,

“Either he’ll save me and I’ll be fine, or he won’t be able to and I’ll die. So, there’s not much use giving me the mud, even if I get injured, aren’t you guys going to use the mud to save me anyway?

Fair point.

Tan Xiao immediately said passionately, “Of course, we wouldn’t just stand by and watch you die! I’ll remember the favor you did for us today. From now on, we’re brothers, ready to take a knife for each other. If I ever betray this brotherhood, may the heavens strike me dead with five thunders!”

Bai Youwei let her gaze drift down.

She wasn’t interested in the idea of ‘taking a knife for each other’, she just wished Tan Xiao would be a bit quieter.

Shen MO stood next to her, glanced at her silently, then withdrew his gaze. He turned to Tan Xiao and Teacher Chang to speak: “You guys keep the mud, Mine will be used for her.”

Teacher Chang still felt uncomfortable. He muttered hesitantly: “How can that be… We lost our mud because we were careless, and now you guys have to bear this burden…”

Bai Youwei frowned, highly annoyed. “If you’re so reluctant to take it, just give it back to me when we get to Yangzhou.”

Tan Xiao pulled Teacher Chang aside and spoke like a seasoned veteran, “We are all brothers under the heaven! It’s fate that brought us all together. Since Sister Weiwei is so generous, we shouldn’t be ungrateful. If we continue to refuse, it’s going to hurt our relationship!”

Bai Youwei rolled her eyes silently, thinking to herself, Since when did I become your little sister?

But she didn’t want to bother correcting him.

After a lot of hesitation, Teacher Chang finally nodded: “Ah, fine then…”

Bai Youwei lazily watched the two men’s interactions and thought about it. To avoid the risk of her gifted mud being “accidentally” lost again, she gave Tan Xiao further instructions:

“I suggest keeping the mud safe with Teacher Chang. One, he’s more careful than you, so he won’t lose it; two, he’s physically weaker than you. If you both get injured, you could still hold on until help arrives, but Teacher Chang might not last that long.”

“Sounds reasonable!” Tan Xiao immediately nodded.

He believed Shen MO was stronger and Bai Youwei was smarter than him, so following their advice was surely the right thing to do. He instantly gave the mud to Chang Weicai without the slightest hesitation.

Chang Weicai held the chunk of mud in his hands, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He knew he was a burden, older and physically slower than the others. But none of them had ever showed any sign of disliking him. They even trusted him with such an important item!

Teacher Chang carefully put the small piece of black mud into his shirt pocket, then placed the flap over it and buttoned it up.

“I will take good care of it.” Without raising his voice, Teacher Chang said calmly, his face unusually solemn.

Bai Youwei wasn’t interested in hearing about everyone’s heartfelt journeys.

All she knew was that she was extremely tired. She was rudely awakened at 5 am and immediately thrown into a noisy dispute over a piece of rotten mud. Damn it, her mood was ruined for the entire day!

Bai Youwei went back to her room to pack her bags with a gloomy expression.

Shen MO followed her, pushing her wheelchair.

“What do you want?” Bai Youwei snapped at him, looking over her shoulder.

Shen MO gazed at her curiously, and asked, “Why did you give them the mud?”

No reason,” Bai Youwei replied coldly, putting away her clothes she had worn yesterday one by one and placed them in the storage bag.

After a couple seconds of silence, it suddenly clicked for her, she turned around to look at Shen Mo.
