As Wu Long was thinking over the decision, he then noticed that Xia Jung had a changing expression, as if he was also hesitating with something.

"What is it?", Wu Long chuckled, as it seemed that it was not unrelated to their current discussion.

"I... was thinking that we could use the flexibility of a group and pick the best of two options...", Xia Jung took a breath seemingly resolving himself and spoke up.

"Hmm, you're saying we could travel while a small part remains to deal with the things here", Wu Long nodded with understanding, as he reviewed this option before, but was not sure how feasible it was, not to mention if there were people willing to remain behind.

"Yes, and... I believe that I would be able to help you with tying all loose ends in the Boundless Mortal World", Xia Jung's words caused quite a few surprised expressions to appear on the faces around.

Even Wu Long raised his eyebrow, as that was something truly unexpected for him.
