After Xander and Solana left, Gregory cast a meaningful glance at Caspian, who deliberately coughed a few times and gestured to him to go first.
A trace of disdain flashed in Gregory’s flying eyes, and he walked forward with his head held high.
Caspian was last in the line.
As he walked, he also observed the trace that Jaime left before.
It has to be said that Jaime was indeed a standard Heavenly Stars Sect disciple as his formation attainments far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators of the same level.
Nonetheless, if it were Caspian who did it just now, he naturally could do better.
For example, the traces would not keep disappearing.
Caspian purposely walked slow, and he soon created a distance between himself and George.
Jaime, Omar, and even Emmett already arrived at the other side of the hall safely at that time.
When the other Fauna Imperial Sect disciples realized that Caspian was more than ten meters away from Gregory and the traces on the ground became blurry, they appeared indifferent.
It was evident that the detachment toward their fellow sect-mates was deeply ingrained.
Caspian suddenly had a hunch, and he pretended to cough violently and bent down.
Then, he hurriedly glanced at the telepathic jade and read Jessica’s clear words.
“What’s the matter?”
Jessica was worried that Caspian could not safely walk over.
Then, Caspian swiftly replied to her.
“Beware of Emmett.”
As the number of words sent on the telepathic jade was limited and it was inconvenient to send messages, Caspian only chose the most critical part.
He believed that Jessica would understand the meaning behind it.
Sure enough, after Caspian replied to Jessica, he walked forward again.
At the same time, he glanced in the direction of Jessica, who appeared utterly unbothered.
The traces on the ground also got blurrier, and the remaining people who were yet to pass through the hall began to speed up their pace.
Caspian also stumbled and ran forward.
“Hurry! I’ll pull you!”
Caspian suddenly heard a familiar voice in front of him.
He looked up and saw Xander holding out his hands at him, whereas the so-called sect-mate Gregory left Caspian completely alone and ran to the opposite side of the hall by himself.
The traces on the ground were almost blurred, which implied that one wrong step might lead to the attack of the Thousands of Deadly Swords Array.
“It’s too late!” Xander did not wait for Caspian to respond.
Then, he reached out and grabbed Caspian, pulling him and running forward.
Caspian was completely stunned by Xander’s actions as he believed that Xander could not see through his disguise.
However, just when Caspian was dumbfounded, he heard Xander’s voice again, but Xander did not look back that time.
“You don’t have to misunderstand.
I just don’t like seeing your Fauna Imperial Sect abandoning fellow sect-mates.
In our Heavenly Stars Sect, companions trust and rely on each other, so in the case of a temporary alliance, even if your Fauna Imperial Sect doesn’t care about you, we Heavenly Stars Sect won’t leave you.”
Xander’s voice was firm.
That time, Caspian froze, and he even felt a trace of guilt in his heart for not telling Xander and the others his true identity.
Nonetheless, Caspian quickly steadied himself.
His deception was not detrimental to Xander and the others.
