"Don't thank me. Just protect yourself." Ye Lianzhen gave him some more Withered Soul Grass. "Go back soon. Don't let anyone discover you left the Mining Area. As for Xie Songnian, if he tries to make trouble for you, I'll shield you from it."
Jiang Che nodded.
After thanking her again, he hurried back to the Black Stone Mining Area.
He kept his Shadowless Escape Stream active the entire way, leaving no trace for anyone to see.
Just as the sky was brightening, Jiang Che finally returned to his residence in the Mining Area.
After shutting the door, he let out a long sigh of relief.
With Xu Qingshan and Ye Lianzhen both backing him, plus the Jade Talisman and the Illusion Mist Pearl as his trump cards, he could finally feel at ease.
The next morning, Jiang Che took Cheng Ming and a few miners to the ravine to collect the bodies.
