Knowing there was nothing he could do about it for now, Feng Fan pushed the problem to the back of his mind. 'I'll worry about it when I reach the Immortal Realm.'
"Thank you, Senior Lu. Farewell."
With a final bow, Feng Fan left the inner city and returned to the inn in the outer city. He still had the token Lu Bao had given him stored safely inside his space ring. Since the old man hadn't asked for it back... well, there was no reason to return it, right?
As soon as he stepped through the doorway, Xue Qiang rushed forward and threw herself into his arms, resting her head against his chest.
"Where were you?" she asked softly.
Feng Fan smiled faintly and wrapped his arms around her. "Sorry. I was gathering the information we needed. Senior Lu gave us everything. We're ready now, let's head back to Red Pole."
