"Still, I can't leave them here…" Mr. Bai Mei shook his head.
"You don't trust me?" Mu Bai was puzzled.
"I trust you. If the colossal white demon wanted to kill us, it would have done so a long time ago. Instead, it made us into chrysalises. But it's torture to wait for death as maggots feed on you. I think that most students cannot endure such anguish. I can't afford to watch them suffer, and I can't let them wait for death not knowing whether someone would come for their rescue. I wish I could do something for them now. You don't have to persuade me anymore. If Dean Xiao were here, I believe he would have done the same, too. He would never leave the students behind. He has something more important to handle, thus he left the students in my care. I can't let him down!" Mr. Bai Mei said firmly.
