BXBX NOVEL Chapter 59: Being selfish
Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this before saying, "No."
This time, it was the Ice Princess\' turn to look surprised and confused.
She narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan before saying, "This isn\'t a time to play around. There are people\'s lives at stake here and we need to do all that we can to save them."
But Lin Fan just calmly said, "I should be saying the same thing to you."
The Ice Princess\' eyes opened wide in shock when she heard this before she revealed a confused look as she couldn\'t understand what he was talking about.
At the same time, there was a bit of a lost look in her eyes.
She didn\'t even know why she felt this way…but seeing Lin Fan who had acted humbly in front of her before acting this firmly now, she felt that there was something that was different…she felt like there was something that had been lost between them and she didn\'t like it.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and said, "I know that your heart is in the right place, but is it really the right thing to do in this situation? You should know that it isn\'t just their lives that are in danger right now, but the lives of many other people. If we don\'t go back and report the Dungeon Break, there will be many lives that will be lost when they try to subdue it."
The Ice Princess knitted her brows when she heard this before saying, "The guild is closely monitoring the situation and will make adjustments based on what they find. They\'ll have already noticed the Dungeon Break and will send people to take care of it. There\'s no need for us to do anything."
Lin Fan shook his head, "But do they know about the traitors?"
The moment that the Ice Princess heard this, she deeply knitted her brows.
After all, he was right and she couldn\'t refute it.
Even if they detected the Dungeon Break, they wouldn\'t know about the traitors that had been in her group.
While she wasn\'t certain, she could guess that they were most likely related to the Dungeon Break. After all, their betrayal and the appearance of the Dungeon Break had been too coincidental for her to ignore.
So while she didn\'t know how they had induced the Dungeon Break, she was certain that they had a reason for it.
That would mean that they would act against anyone who came to subdue the Dungeon Break.
If they didn\'t know about these traitors, there was no doubt that they would fall into some kind of trap prepared by those traitors…
So she knew that he was right and she couldn\'t go against it…
But after a while, the Ice Princess still said, "We can split up. With your abilities, you should be able to reach the camp by yourself and warn them. I\'ll go and save the…"
Before she could finish, Lin Fan suddenly raised his voice and said, "Stop being selfish."
The Ice Princess couldn\'t help flinching a bit when she heard him say this. Seeing the serious look on his face, she shrunk back even more.
It was almost like a child being scolded when she faced this kind of Lin Fan.
She pouted her lips, but she didn\'t say anything.
Lin Fan continued by saying, "I think that it\'s admirable that you want to help people, but you need to think about yourself as well. You should know what will happen if we go back to try and save them."
The Ice Princess deeply knitted her brows when she heard this, but she had to acknowledge that he was right with a sigh.
In the state that they were in, there was no doubt that they would be hunted down by the traitors. At that point, everything would be meaningless since they would be dead.
But she had hoped that with the power that Lin Fan had demonstrated, he would be able to change this.
Lin Fan could see this hope in her eyes, but he crushed it by saying, "I can\'t use that power for long and I\'ve already gone over my limits."
When she heard this, the Ice Princess revealed a very disappointed look. But that look disappeared quickly since she knew that she couldn\'t blame him for this. After all, he had risked his life just to save her.
If it wasn\'t for him stepping in, she would have already been violated and killed…
So she couldn\'t keep being selfish like this…
The Ice Princess took a deep breath before saying, "You\'re right. I can\'t be selfish anymore and I need to do what I need to do."
Lin Fan gave a nod and revealed a smile when he heard this.
When the Ice Princess saw this smile on his face, she couldn\'t stop her heart from skipping a beat. She didn\'t know why she felt this way, but for some reason…she felt happy just seeing him being happy like this.
Lin Fan turned around and got down so that she could get on his back again before saying, "Shall we?"
The Ice Princess looked at this back and for some reason, she couldn\'t help feeling assured.
She didn\'t know what it was about this back that comforted her like this, but she felt that things weren\'t as bad anymore when she saw this back. She leaned forward and laid on his back, which gave her an even stronger sense of assurance.
As she laid there on his back, she gave a soft \'un\' sound.
With that, Lin Fan stood up and headed off, moving in the direction of the entrance to this break zone.
…
What she never would have known was that my heart had been racing this entire time.
Even if I was in control of this situation because I had already given instructions to the C Rankers, if I couldn\'t convince her of the dangerous situation…it would have all been for nothing.
So when she finally conceded and decided to follow me, I couldn\'t help letting a secret long sigh of relief.
Then when she was on my back, she didn\'t see the secret smile that appeared on my face.
With this, I was certain that I would be able to accomplish my goals once we returned to the base.
While there would be complications, I wasn\'t worried about them since I knew that I had already moved the heart of the Ice Princess. As long as the Ice Princess was by my side, there was nothing that they would be able to do to me.
At the same time, I could hear from the Ice Princess\' voice that she was starting to treat me differently.
Rather than thinking of me as a subordinate, she was thinking of me more as an equal.
That would go a long way in the future.
As I walked off, I secretly said in my heart to the C Rankers who had died chasing us, "Thank you for your hard work."
