Chapter 2696: Regret
“I, I…” Cheng Fang’s hands shook.
Feng Wu smiled and gave him a meaningful look.
She had had enough of Cheng Fang. All he ever did was make requests while he just stood on the side and watched. She only tolerated him because he was a member of the team.
If she had her way, she would have given up on him after she saved him once.
“I… But I…” Cheng Fang gave Shao Xiao a pleading look.
Shao Xiao was going to offer moral support, when Ling Hao tugged at his sleeve and gave him a warning look.
The realization struck him.
Feng Wu was displeased.
If Shao Xiao tried to speak up for Cheng Fang, she might suggest that he go with Cheng Fang.
That wasn’t the worst case scenario. The worst possibility was that Feng Wu might be disappointed in them.
…
At that thought, Shao Xiao shook his head at Cheng Fang. He had to be considerate.
No one took Cheng Fang’s side.

Cheng Fang was almost in tears.
Feng Wu patted him on the shoulder. “Off you go.”
Cheng Fang had used up all his excuses. Taking the paper crane, he slowly walked away, looking over his shoulder every few steps.
He hoped that Feng Wu would tell him to come back, but he waited and waited, and nothing happened. When he turned back again, his team had walked out of sight.
He was all alone.
He wanted to rush back to his team.
However, the paper crane took off at that moment. It flapped its wings and gave Cheng Fang a contemptuous look.
Even a paper crane was mocking him now. Cheng Fang felt like crying.
The crane started flying away.
Cheng Fang was in a difficult spot.
He couldn’t bring himself to go back to his team.
However, he didn’t think he was capable enough to find Ye Han and save her.
Moreover, the cave was ma.s.sive. Take a wrong turn, and one could be lost in it forever. It was terrifying to walk alone in this place.
Even a grown man couldn’t live with that fear.
After that mocking glance, the paper crane flew even faster.
“Hey! Wait for me!” Cheng Fang ran after it.
Without the paper crane, he would get lost in the 80,000 tunnels. He would lose his mind.
The paper crane was flying just fast enough that he could catch up with it if he walked as fast as he could.
He was filled with fear and he was exhausted.
He stumbled through the tunnels, his face streaked with tears.
Why couldn’t he just keep his mouth shut?
Save Ye Han…
He wasn’t much better than her. How was he going to do that?
Moreover, Ye Han was with Xuecheng Team. If they couldn’t do anything, what good could he do?
Cheng Fang thought of Feng Wu.
He wondered why Feng Wu wouldn’t help him. How could she be so relentless?
With all those things spinning in his head, Cheng Fang pressed on hurriedly. Several times, the poor light made him fall. Soon, he was covered in bruises.
But he didn’t dare stop because if he did, he could become lost and die.
He now saw how decisive Feng Wu was.
