The caravan Steward then turned to the Female Cultivator and Lin Changheng, managing a smile. "Thankfully, you were both alert. The consequences would have been unthinkable otherwise. When we get back to the clan, I'll be sure to record a merit for you."
Lin Changheng shook his head. "I just happened to notice, but I didn't react in time. Fortunately, the Fellow Daoist beside me was decisive and called out a warning, preventing greater losses."
The implication was that the Female Cultivator beside him deserved more credit. In truth, he didn't want to stand out.
Only by being inconspicuous, almost invisible, could he protect everyone from the front in an emergency without drawing any attention.
The Female Cultivator tilted her head to glance at Lin Changheng in surprise, her eyes flickering, but she didn't say anything more.
"A merit is a merit. It's based purely on the facts, nothing else."
The caravan Steward made the final decision.
"Yes."
