There were two reasons for this.
First, she was a guest and had no personal grudge against the Sect Leader.
Second, the utter despair on Tang Mo's face was impossible to ignore. If they didn't all know she had just arrived in Wuxi Village, they would have assumed she was related to the Sect Leader.
This time, Tang Mo's grief wasn't entirely an act. With the Sect Leader dead, she truly was the most distraught person there.
'It would be strange if I wasn't upset!'
Her display of emotion was so genuine that Xiao Hu felt too embarrassed to keep crying himself.
Having failed to find the insects and with the Sect Leader now dead, the group returned to the village, dejected.
The Sect Leader's body was left behind in the jungle. He was dead and useless now, so who would care about his corpse? It was a mercy no one had gone up and kicked it a few times.
Many of Wuxi Village's inhabitants were waiting at the entrance, hoping for their triumphant return.
