Section 373 Crisis of Trust

The gunfire in the forest had ceased, and figures could be seen vaguely outside the forest. The helicopter was hovering high in the sky, not far from the edge of the forest.

"What other choices do you have?" upon hearing Nuanyu's suggestion, Shen Yue and Jin Xin queried in unison.

"Do you trust me?" Nuanyu suddenly asked.

Jin Xin remained silent, looking towards Shen Yue. Shen Yue simply replied, "Trust! The key now is — do you trust us?"

To describe Nuanyu as a cunning rabbit with three burrows may not be entirely accurate, but this woman would surely not reveal her true goals to those she didn't trust.

Iblon did not yet qualify for Nuanyu's full trust.

Nuanyu trusted them, so she would take them to the safest place. But in doing so, she was entrusting her safety to them as well.

Nuanyu seemed a bit off, but she quickly regained her usual calmness. She made no reply, just said, "Follow me."

As she spoke, she veered off towards the north and away from the eastern coastline.
