Chapter 2292
"But..." Brother Gou wanted to tell Jiang Ning that he had a family and many others close to his heart. These people needed him
and didn't want anything to happen to Jiang Ning either.
But before he could say anything, Jiang Ning waved his hands and didn't let him go on.
Tve already decided."
It was impossible for Brother Gou to say anymore.
They had always listened to everything Jiang Ning said, but this time, he really wanted to defy his orders because he really didn't
want anything bad to befall Jiang Ning.
Moreover, they had understudied Peter Pan for three years and had improved greatly precisely to become of greater assistance
to Jiang Ning. Making them remain in Donghai was driving them insane. But then they also knew that Jiang Ning
was doing this for their own good. And that made the wolves feel even more ashamed of themselves.
They weren't children anymore, so how could they always make Jiang Ning be the one to stand in front of them and weather all
the storms on their behalf?
"Alright then." Brother Gou gave up. He knew that nothing he said now would make a difference.
He watched as Jiang Ning left to make preparations, then returned to Peter Pan's room and knocked on the door quietly.
"Come in." Peter Pan's voice was a little hoarse.
Brother Gou walked in. "Master."
Neither of them was used to this term of address, but Peter Pan didn't tell Brother Gou not to call him that either.
"What's wrong?" He glanced at Brother Gou. "He's not willing to let you boys go with him?"
Brother Gou nodded.
"Donghai needs us to guard it. If we go along, then there'll be nobody left to guard this city."
For the past three years, Peter Pan was here, so they didn't have to worry about anything. But now, Peter Pan's health was
deteriorating at an alarming speed and his prowess was on the wane. He even had trouble protecting himself from enemies,
never mind anybody else.
Jiang Ning had taken this into consideration, and that was why he wanted to make sure that highly skilled fighters were left
behind to protect Donghai.
"Tsk," Peter Pan snorted. "This fellow is a really strange one. He always likes to shoulder everything on his own."
He glanced at Brother Gou. "What's there to be afraid of? I'm not dead yet." "Give me a little time, I'll make some arrangements."
"Master?!" Brother Gou's heart trembled. "What are you going to do?"
"I can recover some energy to last me a while more. At least until all of you return from the Longevity Pond."
The look in Peter Pan's eyes was
gentler now. He knew well that Jiang
Ning was going to look for the pond because of him. He didn't like owing others, especially not Jiang Ning, but he also wanted to
keep living.
He wanted to watch Jiang Yao grow up and protect his precious disciple. If he couldn't live much longer, then he would really
have to bid Jiang Yao farewell.
If his health weren't so poor, he would have gone with Jiang Ning himself.
"Don't worry, I know myself best."
"I know that this fellow is going to look for the pond for my sake, and I'll remember this favor. But that's why I want to contribute
too."
"If you want someone to help you with something, then you've got to prove that you're worthy of help first!" said Peter Pan.
"Yes, Master! Don't worry, we'll
definitely find the Longevity Pond so that you can continue living." Brother Gou immediately straightened up. "Yaoyao needs your
protection too. She wouldn't bear to part with you."
The moment he mentioned Jiang Yao, Peter Pan immediately broke into a bright smile. His hopes and reason for living were all
for the little girl's sake. "Alright then. Let me take a rest. Go out."
"Ok." Brother Gou nodded and walked out.
Peter Pan took a deep breath, focused his energies and sat up.
Tve still got to use that method after all. Since I'm their Master, I've got to help my disciples out. I can't possibly just let my
disciples help me, right?"

He laughed to himself as the glint in his eyes slowly lit up. They looked like two stars shining exceptionally brightly in the dark
night.
Meanwhile.
Jiang Ning had begun to make preparations.
Everyone else knew about Peter Pan's situation, and they knew that if they didn't do anything, he was going to die very soon.
