Long Yifan didn't respond to Yu Jin's warning. Instead, he turned back to Gu Jin, carefully lifting her unconscious form into his arms.
His expression was calm, but his voice carried an edge of steel as he addressed the group one last time.
"I will find the person who sabotaged her breakthrough," he said, his gaze sweeping over the gathered students. "And once I do, I will teach them a good lesson."
The weight of his words sent a chill through the air.
Without waiting for a response, Long Yifan walked past the group, heading toward the forest with Gu Jin cradled protectively in his arms.
Yan Mei looked after him, her expression conflicted, while Gu Aihan smirked triumphantly.
Yu Jin called after him, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Good luck, Yifan. You're going to need it."
Long Yifan didn't look back.
