Chapter 1682: Chapter 1682: We Walk on Our Own

"I don’t agree!"

Zhong Siquan immediately refused.

"Why?"

Lin Mengyao’s face turned cold, and she asked in a chilly voice.

"He’s a stranger, and we don’t even know his background. He’s just like that Fierce Beast before, suddenly emerging from the woods. What if he’s a bad person? What if he has ulterior motives against us? What if he has other plans? We’re outside now, and we have to be careful with everything. I won’t allow a stranger to join our team!"

Zhong Siquan said with an unwavering expression.

"You’re talking nonsense! How could Chen Feng possibly be a bad person? He saved Xiaoli and me at the most dangerous moment. If it weren’t for him, Xiaoli and I would have already fallen prey to the Fierce Beast. Do you think he seems like a bad person?"

Lin Mengyao glared at Zhong Siquan fiercely and said coldly.

"Do I think he looks like a bad person? Bad people don’t have those words written on their faces; how could I see it? But still, I always find him suspicious. Maybe when he saved you before, it was all part of a plan to win our trust!"

Zhong Siquan glanced at Chen Feng with a cold smile and said.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Mengyao’s face hardened.

"What do I mean? Isn’t it clear what I mean?"

Zhong Siquan chuckled coldly, then looked at Chen Feng, his face dark, and said:

"Why did the Fierce Beast appear shortly after this person appeared? Before, we walked around the island for a long time without encountering a Fierce Beast, but right when he appears, the Fierce Beast shows up. What does that say?"

"It suggests that it’s very likely that he attracted the Fierce Beast. He made the Fierce Beast pretend to attack us so that he could take the opportunity to rescue us and thus gain our trust and join us, having ulterior motives against us!"

"Zhong Siquan, you can’t casually make false allegations. Words should be backed by evidence. What you’re saying is pure slander!"

Tang Yuxin fiercely glared at Zhong Siquan and said coldly.

"I’m slandering him? Ask yourself, isn’t there such a possibility? I believe the people’s eyes are discerning. You can ask everyone here; who would they rather trust?"

Zhong Siquan said with a cold smile.

Hearing this.

Lin Mengyao and Tang Yuxin looked up at the crowd.

The crowd’s eyes, when turning to Chen Feng, were still filled with apprehension.

Clearly.

Rather than trusting a stranger who suddenly appeared.

They were more willing to believe Zhong Siquan’s words.

Looking at the expressions on their faces.

Lin Mengyao and Tang Yuxin’s faces changed.

"Zhong Siquan, I know you have prejudices against Chen Feng, but please don’t malign Chen Feng without reason. He indeed saved us, and if he joins us, we would be much safer; everyone sees his strength clearly!"

Lin Mengyao took a deep breath, looking at Zhong Siquan, and said.

"Really? You think I don’t believe him or let him join us because of my prejudice against him?"

Zhong Siquan asked with a cold smile.

"Exactly, you’re just jealous of Chen Feng!"

Tang Yuxin glared at Zhong Siquan, biting her silver teeth, and said.

"Alright, since that’s the case, let’s be fair and listen to everyone’s opinions. They should have no bias against Chen Feng, right? As long as they agree to let Chen Feng join us, I have nothing to say!"

Zhong Siquan coldly nodded and then turned to the crowd, asking, "Who agrees to let Chen Feng join us? Please raise your hand!"

As soon as Zhong Siquan said this.

The crowd looked at each other, you looked at me, and I looked at you, then everyone lowered their heads; no one was willing to raise a hand.

Because after what Zhong Siquan just said.

They also suspected that Chen Feng was a bad person, believing that the Fierce Beast was brought by Chen Feng.

Moreover, Chen Feng’s own strength is even more terrifying.

This made them very wary, and they didn’t want Chen Feng to join them in any case.

Seeing this scene.

Both Lin Mengyao and Tang Yuxin’s faces changed.

And Zhong Siquan’s face was full of smugness, coldly saying, "How about it? This is everyone’s opinion, I didn’t say anything, right? It’s not just me who doesn’t believe in Chen Feng, everyone doesn’t believe in Chen Feng. As the saying goes, the people’s eyes are discerning."

"Yaoyao, Yuxin, I advise you to be rational, don’t be deceived by this man’s appearance. Being with him can be very dangerous, better to return to the team; I’ll protect you!"

"I spit!"

Tang Yuxin spat lightly and fiercely glanced at Zhong Siquan with disdain, saying, "You protect us? Aren’t you the one who runs the fastest when danger comes?"

"Yuxin, that’s not right what you’re saying. I’ll say it again, the reason I run so fast is to save Yaoyao, not to escape!"

Zhong Siquan said shamelessly.

"Heh, you’re really shameless!"

Tang Yuxin laughed coldly, then swept her cold gaze over everyone present, asking, "You all want Zhong Siquan to protect you, right? You’ve made up your mind not to let Chen Feng join, right? Fine, then go your own way. Yaoyao, Xiaoli, and I will follow Chen Feng; we’ll see who’s safer!"

She finished speaking. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Tang Yuxin directly looked at Lin Mengyao and the girl who had been saved by Chen Feng named Sun Xiaoli, and asked, "Yaoyao, Xiaoli, I plan to go with Chen Feng, what about you two?"

Lin Mengyao turned back and looked at the cold crowd, biting her silver teeth, and said, "I want to go with Chen Feng!"

Sun Xiaoli thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "I want to go with Chen Feng too!"

"Great!"

Tang Yuxin nodded, then looked at Chen Feng and said, "Chen Feng, the three of us will go with you; you’ll protect us, right?"

"Of course!"

Chen Feng nodded with a faint smile.

Actually, as long as Lin Mengyao was where he was, that’s where he wanted to be.

As for the safety of others, he couldn’t care less.

As long as Lin Mengyao was safe, that was all that mattered.

The current outcome, in fact, suited him perfectly.

"Alright, then let’s go; you lead the way!"

Tang Yuxin said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Chen Feng nodded, then took Lin Mengyao, Tang Yuxin, and Sun Xiaoli and headed in one direction through the woods.

Seeing this scene.

Zhong Siquan gritted his teeth and didn’t follow, instead a triumphant cold smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment.

Wang Yang approached, fawningly asking, "Young Master Zhong, how about my idea?"

"Not bad, quite effective!"

Zhong Siquan nodded, then looked at Wang Yang and quietly asked, "Are you sure Lin Mengyao, Tang Yuxin, and that Sun Xiaoli have the water and food they were carrying with them here?"

"Of course, their three backpacks are with us. Now they have nothing on them, and as for that Chen Feng, even more so!"

Wang Yang said with a cold smile.
