Because there were no Fire Rock Beasts blocking their path, Zou Mei and her two companions quickly departed from the Heavenly Pond Sea of Fire. Eager to seek compensation and rewards from Li Zongrui, Zou Mei led Zhou Quan and Wang Tao straight down the mountain, not lingering any longer on Redflame Mountain.
To Zou Mei's surprise, Li Zongrui was already waiting for them at the entrance to Redflame Mountain.
"Miss Zou, you've finished your training so soon?"
When Li Zongrui saw the trio return without any sign of Ye Qingchen, he was thrilled. It seems the task I entrusted to Zou Mei was executed perfectly.
"Young Sect Master!"
Upon seeing Li Zongrui, the three of them bowed respectfully. Zou Mei stepped forward to his side but remained silent.
Li Zongrui observed Zou Mei's hesitant expression and understood. He waved to Zhou Quan and Wang Tao and said, "You two go back and rest for a while. I have something to discuss with Junior Sister Zou."
