“If I don’t stay by your side and do everything for you, you won’t be able to

MO Ruyue finally spoke. Although her words were simple, they were unusually sharp.

“No, I didn’t mean it that way, but Lady Qin, you’ll save people to the end and send Buddha to the west. At least show us a way to continue living!’

“We can’t get into the base now, and there’s no better place nearby. We don’t even have any food to eat. Isn’t the only thing waiting for us in the end still death?”

The middle-aged woman was a little guilty at first, so her voice was very soft.

However, as she spoke, it was as if she had gained confidence, and her voice and expression became aggressive.

“So, according to what you said, I should have left you to your own devices from the very beginning so that you could die and reincarnate as soon as possible, right?”

MO Ruyue still only said one sentence, but this sentence was ten times heavier than before.

“If I hadn’t meddled and given you food and medicine, you would have been reincarnated by now. I blocked your path of reincarnation, so shouldn’t I apologize to you?

“Y -you’re cursing me?

The middle-aged woman’s face turned purple as she choked on MO Ruyue’s words and rolled her eyes.

She tried to defend herself, but she couldn’t find a more powerful reason.

“Curse? Isn’t that what you’re thinking?”

“Because I saved you, so I have to be responsible to the end. I’ll find you a safe and suitable place to stay, take care of your daily needs, and let you live without any worries.”

“If I didn’t do that, I might as well not have saved you in the first place, right?” This time, it was MO Ruyue’s turn to be aggressive.

As she spoke, her eyes swept across the others, trying to see how many people had the same idea as the middle-aged woman.

No one could make eye contact with her for more than two seconds, and they lowered their heads almost immediately upon contact.

Some people felt guilty, while others felt ashamed.

No one had thought that just by not being able to enter the city gates for the time being, the hidden conflict would be triggered.

“Lady Qin, you said before that you would leave after sending us to the place. Now that we have arrived, you should go.” Deng Feng suddenly said to MO Ruyue.

He wasn’t trying to persuade her, but asking her to leave.

“You’ve already done a lot for us, but I’m really sorry for dragging down your schedule.

His words allowed the middle-aged woman to find a breakthrough point. She immediately shifted her focus and attacked him.

“What do you mean by that? Do you really think you’re the leader of our group? I think you’re just trying to curry favor with Lady Qin so that shell look up to you and take you away!’

“Enough, shut up!’

Her shrew-like behavior finally made more people unable to stand it anymore, and they all stood up and began to criticize her.

“Don’t go too far, it’s us who owe Lady Qin a great favor, not her who owes us!”

“That’s right, they didn’t expect you to be grateful, but you’re accusing them of not helping you to the end? Don’t you have any shame!”

“Just look at yourself, don’t bring us all along. We all don’t know how to be grateful to Lady Qin, not like you, who has no sense of shame.”

Among the people who stood up to criticize the middle-aged woman, there were also people who had the same thoughts as her, but they didn’t dare to reveal their true thoughts at this time.

“Don’t pretend to be so high and mighty. Do you really think that no one knows what you’re thinking?”

“Have you all never thought of letting Lady Qin lay out a way out for you, so that you can live without any worries? Now, all of you are pretending to be decent. Don’t you have any shame?

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman also went all out.

Anyway, she had already completely offended MO Ruyue and there was no turning back.

She might as well curse to her heart’s content.

This time, she had completely pushed everyone to the opposite side. Almost no one was willing to stand beside her anymore, and they all kept a distance from her.

“You can scold her however you want, but we won’t trouble Lady Qin anymore. We all have hands and feet, and we’ve been well fed for so many days, yet you still want to blame others for taking responsibility. You know who’s shameless.”

Deng Feng didn’t want to be entangled with this woman anymore. He didn’t want Lady Qin to be disappointed in all of them because of this one person.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll be leaving.”

MO Ruyue suddenly agreed with Deng Feng’s words and expressed that she was leaving.

She really did turn around to clean up the carriage. It seemed like she wasn’t just saying it.

A few seriously injured people who were resting in the carriage heard the conversation outside and took the initiative to open the carriage door, ready to return the carriage to MO Ruyue.

They didn’t have the face to continue occupying the carriage. Other than giving up the carriage, there seemed to be nothing else they could do.

“Hmph, I’m afraid you’ve wanted to get rid of us for a long time. Why are you only putting on an act now?

The middle-aged woman continued to curse, but this time, no one paid attention to her. Instead, they let her do whatever she wanted.

Everything that MO Ruyue could leave for the survivors had been left behind. Of course, the carriage and horses had to be taken away. What was left was nothing more than some bedding and utensils, but there was no dry food at all.

“Lady Qin, I hope that you and this young master will have a safe journey. We will never forget your great kindness. In the future, even if we have to work like cows and horses, we will definitely return it.”

Deng Feng cupped his fists and saluted MO Ruyue and the other man. He didn’t expect that their good intentions would be exchanged for such an ending. If it were him, he would also be bitterly disappointed.

“Goodbye.”

MO Ruyue only replied with three short words before returning to the carriage. Gu Ying drove the carriage away.

It was obvious that she was really hurt, which was why she left so quickly.

There was another exit in this Mountain Valley. Gu Ying did not return the way he came, but instead went straight for the other exit.

The two of them went to the other side where the survivors couldn’t see them before they stopped.

“Bing ‘Er, do you still plan to help them to the end?” Gu Ying heard the sound of the door behind him and turned to MO Ruyue, who was walking out of the carriage.

“A stinky fish makes a pot of soup. At least not everyone is like her. That’s enough.”

MO Ruyue didn’t have the idea of leaving from the beginning. Although there were some survivors who had the same idea as the middle-aged woman, they at least knew how to keep their mouths shut.

It was worth a second chance.

She had painstakingly saved that group of people not because she wanted to let them face the threat of death again, but because of those who were truly grateful, she would not leave them alone.

“Then I’ll go into the city and see what’s going on. It’s not a good idea to just guess from the outside.”

With Gu Ying’s skills, it was a piece of cake to sneak into the city without a sound.

“I’ll monitor the movements of the refugees.”

MO Ruyue and Gu Ying split up the work and quickly decided on what they needed to do.

After the carriage was put into her interspace, she immediately made a detour and headed toward the small town in the distance..
