He lowered his head in dejection and said, "I've thought it through. Leading everyone without the capability is just endangering lives. From now on, I'll just be an adventurer or a demon hunter, slaying those abominations and doing my part to protect the living."
Lin Rui nodded slightly. That's not a bad idea, at least he would have a safe place to stay. "Are you sure? Once you offer up your territory essence, there's no turning back."
"I'm sure. At worst, when I have the capability to lead everyone and build a home, I'll spend money to buy a territory essence again." He lowered his head in dejection, remained silent for a moment, then asked, "But... could I live in your territory?"
"Live in my territory? Still thinking about Audrey?" Lin Rui asked with a faint smile.
