Upon seeing the young man emerge, the elder's eyes flickered with hope, and a trace of apprehension.
The young man smiled faintly and said, "Friend, you didn't come here to kill someone from my guild, did you? If my people have offended you in any way, I apologize here on their behalf."
It was unquestionably a way out.
Whether Qu Tan'er took it or not was up to her.
Qu Tan'er wasn't here to kill today; getting someone she could talk to was achieving her goal. As long as she could exchange for the Soul Saliva Flower, she'd leave immediately.
So, she quietly withdrew her Spiritual Energy, letting the elder go.
The elder coughed violently, breathing in the air anew.
At this moment, Qu Tan'er put out the things she had just put away.
Without a word, the young man was briefly taken aback, then with a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes, he asked, "Friend, what just happened? I'm not quite sure."
