From the way, those from the Fenglok tribe ignored him and said that he would be interrogated at the Burning Lotus Sanctum, he was worried that those tribe bastards didn't care about the kid.
It also seemed that the kid was not from the tribe. If that was the case then Lin Yichen going with them would be total a disaster.
If he was interrogated there, he could even die.
After all, the interrogation room of the tribe was akin to a killing chamber and the kid would die a brutal and harsh death there.
In that case, going with Metal Continent would have been a better option, at least, those guards promised a two-day complete rest and to give the kid a clean and swift death, the next day.
Ruler Cui Long was left hard-pressed over it all.
He was hoping secretly that the kid would be from the Great Fenglok Tribe and be saved by them, but seeing the overall situation, he was now rather bothered and confused.
