Chapter 400: Obscure a thousand methods, Devour ten thousand paths

    After a day of rest, neither Kutingyi nor Huang Shuangping looked any less depressed than they had a few days ago. Both appeared somewhat refreshed.

    Kutingyi saw Wen Zhixi carrying Ding Huan out and immediately greeted, saying:

    "Master Wen, we've gained some experience here, but I'm really confused about how to choose the direction for this place."

    I always have a feeling that the Wetlands area is safer, but naturally, the Drylands are easier to traverse. How about this? We should split up and send messages to each other if one side is safer.

    Wen Zhixi looked at Ding Huan.

    This further confirmed to Kutingyi that despite the impression that Wen Zhixi's cultivation was much higher than Ding Huan's, it was actually this guy named Ding Huan who made the decisions.

    "Zhixi, I think this method is quite good. If we all travel together, we might end up losing the whole force. But if we split up, there's always a chance that one team will be safe." Ding Huan said.

    Wen Zhixi didn't quite understand why Ding Huan suddenly wanted to split up again. She naturally had no objections, as she didn't want to follow these two people in the first place.

    Kutingyi's gaze made her very uncomfortable, and if it wasn't for her sufficient temperament, she would have given him a cold look by now.

    "All right, which side will you choose?" Kutingyi asked in a low voice.

    Wen Zhixi remained silent, and Ding Huan only opened his mouth after thinking for a long time and asked, "Master Kutingyi, which side do you think is more suitable for us?"

    Kutingyi laughed and said, "According to reason, you should walk on the dryland side, but I think it's safer to walk on the wetland side...".

    Thank you, Master Kutingyi, for the reminder. In that case, we'll go this way on the wetland side." Ding Huan agreed without hesitation to Kutingyi's suggestion.

    Kutingyi was taken aback. His intuition told him that Ding Huan would not agree to his suggestion.

    He instructed Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi to walk on the wetland side, while Ding Huan was 100% determined to take the dryland route.

    This is a bit confusing. How come Ding Huan agreed so readily when Kutingyi made a suggestion? Does this mean that Wen Zhixi and Ding Huan have a map showing which route—dryland or wetland—is safer?

    As Wen Zhixi was carrying Ding Huan and preparing to walk on the wetland side, Fu Shuangping suddenly spoke up from the side.

    "Since you feel the wetland side is safer, why should we walk on the dryland side? Wouldn't it be better for all of us to walk together on the wetland side?"

    Kutingyi awkwardly smiled and said, "Walking together on the wetland would certainly be better, but if we encounter danger, then wouldn't the entire group be at risk?"

    Since Ding Huan has chosen the wetland side, let's walk on the dryland side. At least we can explore both routes.

    "No way. Either we all walk on the wetland side together or you go on the dryland side alone," Huang Shuangping said firmly.

    Ding Huan saw the situation and hurriedly said, "In that case, let's go on the dryland side."

    Kutingyi wanted to say something else, but Wen Zhixi, carrying Ding Huan, walked quickly towards the dryland side and disappeared in the distance.

    "Yi brother, why don't they insist on walking the wetland side?" Fu Shuangping asked in confusion.

    Kutingyi also furrowed his brow. Which path, wetland or dryland, is safer is not indicated on the route map.
