Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Possible Dissolution Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Possible Dissolution “Don’t rush to eat just yet, we have an important matter to discuss right now.”

“What’s the matter, Brother Xiao Chan?”

“Is there something so urgent that we can’t even finish our breakfast before discussing it?”

The mood amongst the crowd was very uplifted, optimistically positive.

In stark contrast, the Seven-Person Team had very solemn expressions, even Xiao Chan lacked his usual smile.

He silently walked over to the remaining pushcart, and lifted the black cloths covering it.

As the black cloths hit the ground, the bright glint of bows, arrows, and spears was revealed; these weapons were all emitting a chilling gleam.

Aside from those involved in the transportation, the rest of the hundreds of people gasped in shock.

“How… How come there are so many weapons?”

“These were all seized by Formidable Hall,” Xiao Chan answered straightforwardly.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay, “How could the Bandit’s Den possess so many arms?”

“It could be they robbed some army…”

“Shh… Don’t speak recklessly, be careful not to bring disaster upon yourself.”

As confusion and fear grew in everyone’s hearts, and they became even more frightened, Xiao Chan spoke again.

“No matter who they robbed or who gave it to them, this matter is certainly not simple. Right now, we only have two paths before us. The first path is for us all to stick together and run; if we unfortunately encounter pursuers, then we fight together and we might have a chance to break out of the encirclement. The second path is for everyone to disperse right now. You have already received your rations, and once scattered, as long as you don’t mention it, the Refugees are so numerous that the pursuers won’t think it was Refugees who did it.”

Xiao Chan’s words caused a huge uproar among the people.

Just a second ago, everyone was immersed in the joy of having food, but then they were hit with devastating news.

“I told you the avengers were too impulsive, now what are we supposed to do.”

Someone murmured in the crowd.

This comment ignited the already panicked crowd.

Indeed, there were quite a few in the crowd who shared the same opinion; they felt that it was a mistake to act impulsively and seek revenge at Formidable Hall yesterday. Had they not done so, perhaps nothing would have happened.

The murmuring amongst the people left the hot-blooded Qiu Er and Qiu San without words.

Before Xiao Chan could speak again, the two brothers defended their actions.

“What do you mean by impulsive? Isn’t avenging our closest kin by slaying our enemies a matter of natural justice?”

“Why didn’t you stop us yesterday? What’s the point of complaining after the fact?”

“This so-called ‘shouldn’t have been impulsive,’ does it mean we should wait for them to recover and come back to take revenge for the Eldest Master before we stand up? I’m afraid by that time, you won’t even have the chance to complain!”

Qiu Er and Qiu San may have appeared simple and honest, but their words were sharp, causing those advocating for stability to turn pale.

While the crowd was at a loss for words, Old Uncle Qiu slowly stepped in to mediate, “Regarding yesterday’s incident, whether we poked our heads out or kept them tucked in, bloodshed and sacrifice were inevitable.

Even if we hadn’t sought revenge, the Bandits would have continued to hound us relentlessly. After all, their Eldest Master died at our hands, and it was a deathmatch situation from the beginning.

Now that the Bandits have been dealt with, at the very least we can catch our breath, so let’s not bother with complaints and just make a swift decision based on what Brother Xiao Chan has suggested.”

Xiao Chan gratefully glanced at Old Uncle Qiu.

“Doctor Qiu is right.”

They, the Seven-Person Team, had never advocated creating a society. These past days, they only slowed down due to the health of their leader, and some Refugees followed behind their group. As long as they weren’t bothered, they didn’t mind.

However, now it’s no longer a question of being disturbed or not.

Offending the Fifth Prince was already a done deal, and large-scale assembly would very easily place them on the list of suspects.

For them, it was most advantageous if everyone dispersed.
