And upon hearing these words, the woman's face immediately turned as white as snow.
Ta Yao shook their head and said: "Brother, the one who should stay is me. You should take the treasure and flee."
No sooner had the words been spoken, the man beside her scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about at a time like this, Shi Er?"
"You have only recently broken through to the Golden Core Stage, and your strength is not strong. If you stay behind to cover our retreat, I'm afraid you won't buy us any time."
"Whereas I have been in the Golden Core Stage for several decades, and on top of that, I am already gravely injured. Even if by some fluke I escape, it's unlikely that I'll be able to shake off their pursuit later on."
"In comparison, Shi Er, although you are injured, it does not greatly impact your strength, and the probability of you shaking them off and escaping is higher."
"So it seems, it's most fitting that I stay behind to cover the retreat."
"How...how can we do this?"
