Su Fan was silent for a moment.
"Is there danger?"
Su Fan asked.
"Yes."
Liu Yong did not hesitate and did not hide anything from Su Fan.
"If I don't join, will you be in danger?"
Su Fan continued to ask.
"Even if you join us, we will be in danger. The entire human race will be in danger."
Liu Yong said calmly.
Su Fan was speechless.
He understood what terrifying things he might have to face by joining the Guardians.
"Let me consider it."
Su Fan did not directly state his attitude. He needed time to think.
"This is my phone number. Call me when you've decided."
Liu Yong gave Su Fan a business card, a very cheap paper one, that read "XX Roast Duck Restaurant, Contact Person: Liu Yong, Phone: 138568*****".
"Okay."
Su Fan nodded.
Then Liu Yong and his companions left without any further words.
In fact, apart from Liu Yong, Xu Dali and Xing Daode did not speak during this time.
After Su Fan returned, he spent the entire journey thinking about what the Guardians did. Besides protecting China, what else did they do? Protect humanity? Why protect humanity? Was there something threatening humanity?
Su Fan thought for a whole day but couldn't come up with any clues.
"Should I join the Guardians or not?"
Su Fan was somewhat troubled.
He was not a righteous person, but if there was a genuine threat to the entire human race, he couldn't possibly stand by and do nothing.
"What's wrong? You look so worried."
Su Yutong walked over, leaned on Su Fan, and gently stroked his forehead as she asked.
Su Fan smiled at Su Yutong.
"It's nothing, just something I can't figure out."
"What is it? Is it something you can tell me?"
Su Yutong inquired. If it was inconvenient for Su Fan, he didn't have to say.
"If you were presented with two paths, one full of thorns but leading to a solved mystery, and another that was smooth and clear but led to nothing, which would you choose?"
Su Fan asked Su Yutong.
Su Yutong tilted her head and thought for a moment, looking at Su Fan seriously.
"I would choose the first path, but you must follow your heart. Whatever you choose, it will be correct in my heart."
Su Yutong smiled and gently stroked Su Fan's face as she spoke.
Looking at the gentle Su Yutong, Su Fan really wanted to choose the second path. What threat was there? What did it have to do with him!
Su Fan now just wanted to spend quality time with his family and loved ones.
Su Fan decisively took out his phone and dialed the number on the business card.
"Hello? Roast duck restaurant, minimum order of half a duck, delivery fee is 4 yuan per kilometer."
Liu Yong's voice came from the other end.
"This is Su Fan."
Su Fan first revealed his identity.
Liu Yong immediately became serious.
"Have you decided?"
Liu Yong sounded hopeful. They were short-handed, and with Su Fan's joining, their chances would be much greater.
"Yes, I've decided not to join you. I'm sorry."
Su Fan hung up after speaking. Since he had chosen the second path, he should not have too much contact with them.
Liu Yong listened to the busy tone from the phone and was a bit stunned.
"Sigh!"
Liu Yong sighed, but he didn't blame Su Fan. Everyone had their own choices, and it was Su Fan's freedom to choose.
In the evening, Su Fan entered the game again to start the day's matches.
The second day of the Martial Arts Hegemony competition.
Most of the five hundred participants from yesterday had already decided their victories, with only one hundred people continuing today.
It was only ten matches, and they ended quickly.
Then the second round of matches began.
Fifty people, five per match, ten matches in total.
With fewer people, it was even more convenient for Su Fan. He could control four people at once. Su Fan only consumed 6800 mana per second, and with mana regeneration from attacks, it was equivalent to consuming only about a thousand mana points per second. Su Fan could control them until they died!
"Players number 438, 1367, 1560, 2023, 2998, please enter the arena!"
It was soon Su Fan's turn to compete. Su Fan had no interest in watching the previous matches.
He carefully observed the fifty people present. Only twenty had reached level forty, and only three had reached level forty-five. There was no threat at all.
Experts like the Four Eccentrics were very rare, and he probably wouldn't encounter them until the very end.
All four opponents looked at Su Fan with vigilance.
They had all seen Su Fan's previous battles, and they were very strange!
Therefore, their primary goal was to defeat Su Fan. Only if Su Fan was defeated would they have a chance.
"Brothers, charge!"
The four of them might have already discussed it. After entering the arena, they immediately charged at Su Fan without a word.
The arena had returned to its rocky and rugged environment, which Su Fan hadn't had time to destroy.
However, this did not prevent him from controlling these four people.
Qiankun Quan!
As the four approached, Su Fan directly used his skill. Four blue rings were instantly cast over the four people, completely immobilizing them.
Su Fan looked around. There were four people. Two were hiding behind rocks, and two were exposed in front of him.
He would deal with the exposed two first!
Su Fan pointed his Thunderwood Sword, and fireballs flew towards the two.
Soon, one of them died.
With only three people left, Su Fan's mana was even recovering.
"I surrender!"
After Su Fan's fireball hit another person, that person spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately chose to surrender.
A wise man knows when to quit. He didn't want to die now.
Su Fan moved his mind and directly removed the Qiankun Quan from him.
That person looked at Su Fan as if he had seen a ghost and fled the arena in a panic.
There were still two people hiding behind rocks, and Su Fan couldn't see them.
However, even if Su Fan did nothing, his current mana could last for half a minute, which was enough time for Su Fan to find them.
Su Fan ran directly towards the direction of one of the opponents.
Soon, he found someone behind a large rock, facing away from Su Fan.
"Here's Johnny!"
Su Fan's head popped out from behind the person with a smile.
The person was being controlled and trembled violently from Su Fan's scare.
Damn it! This is too terrifying!
"I surrender!"
He couldn't hold on any longer and directly chose to surrender.
Surrendering could save his life, but not surrendering would definitely lead to death.
After Su Fan canceled the control, the person actually left the arena crying.
This showed what kind of psychological shadow Su Fan had left on him.
There was one person left. Su Fan could control for even longer, so he wasn't in a hurry and walked leisurely towards the opponent.
"Little darling, hide well, here I come!"
Su Fan walked and laughed like a pervert.
The opponent, hearing Su Fan's voice approaching, felt their heart pound in their chest.
What was this feeling, like being in a graveyard late at night? Was this guy a pervert!
"Johnny is here!"
Su Fan suddenly appeared in front of him, making him tremble.
Who was Johnny? Was his name Johnny?
"I surrender!"
