Zou Tianjin: "Then he is my savior, just like you."
Gu Chun smiled enigmatically, "Actually, even if he didn't intervene, you wouldn't have been entirely helpless, would you?"
This was true, although the two assassins coordinated well and their attacks were sharp, the best opportunity came during the Boomerang Guest's surprise attack. However, Zou Tianjin remained vigilant even while healing.
Gu Chun had already warned him upon appearing, that Fabre might have accomplices nearby.
In the ensuing scenario, Zou Tianjin appeared passive, but the Jade Locking Pillar offered tight protection. He wasn't entirely without means to counter, but a sudden counterattack would aggravate his injuries, akin to a desperate gamble.
Such measures are taken only in dire situations, which wasn't quite the case yet. He trusted that Gu Chun would rush back, and indeed, Gu Chun arrived in time.
