Bai Mo himself didn't think much of it.
Outside, however, the Demon Hunting Team erupted in cheers shortly after Lanshan left, but they were quickly stifled.
The commotion died down after a while, and things finally grew quiet.
When Bai Mo stepped out of his shop, he saw Lanshan and Ma Bizi herding the crowd away.
A few of the burly men kept looking back, wanting to say something to Bai Mo, but they never got the chance.
Bai Mo just smiled at them, watching as they disappeared into the distance.
Back home, Bai Mo was lost in thought.
'These burly men seem so carefree on the surface, but they're actually quite shrewd.'
'At the very least, they're cautious. They have to be, after all. Navigating the Celestial Barrier Mountain is like walking on thin ice.'
'The Alchemy Dao's influence on human affairs... it seems there's more to it than just profound and esoteric principles.'
'I should adjust my business strategy going forward!'
