The disciples of the major sects quickly reached the city gate. The powerful spirit beasts closely pursuing them were about to arrive as well, so he didn't want to waste words with Xiao Fang here. He had no choice but to cut the Gordian knot and make this decision.
Although An Qi was also worried about Lin Yifan's safety, she could tell from his determined gaze that he must have a way to avoid various dangers. Thus, she agreed to Lin Yifan's request to take Xiao Fang away.
Xiao Fang wanted very much to stay and persuade Lin Yifan to leave, but she knew she could not stop Lin Yifan, who had made up his mind. So, she followed An Qi, not wanting to add any trouble for Lin Yifan.
Du Yuze and Tan Jingwen knew they couldn't handle this group of fierce spirit beasts. So, if asked to stay, they wouldn't. Thus, the moment An Qi set off, they immediately flew away behind her.
