"Many thanks, revered elder, for your rescue."
Ling Chen decided not to pursue the Undying Old Demon any further. This demon was able to neutralize Mei Fangzhi's ultimate move, and there's no guarantee he doesn't have other trump cards. To fully eradicate this demon, now is likely not the most opportune time, he reasoned.
"I have heard everything from Miaoyin," Mei Fangzhi said, waving his hand before continuing, "You were all investigating on behalf of my Hanmei Villa when you encountered this Undying Old Demon. It was only right that I intervened. On the contrary, I should be thanking all of you. If you hadn't uncovered the truth, my entire Hanmei Villa would have remained in a state of panic, thoroughly unsettled by this affair."
"Yes, what my senior martial sister and I did before was wrong; we even tried to make you scapegoats. Young Hero Ling Chen, please forgive us," Xuan Yu said, looking at Ling Chen with a remorseful expression and clasping her hands.
