”You came out!” Junior Leopard smiled oddly, glancing at Wang She's back. ”I thought you wouldn't be coming out anymore!”
”If I don't come out, where will you get your benefits?!” Wang She smiled coldly, throwing him a bag. ”This is compensation for your hard work these few days.”
”This is...!” When Junior Leopard took the bag from him, he could feel its heaviness.
”They're spiritual stones of Fire Attribute, all 19 of them!” Wang She said wryly, raising his head to look at Pei Zheng. He said to Junior Leopard, ”Okay, boy, your mission is over. Are you going inside to have a look or leaving with me?”
”Of course I'll leave with you. I've been starving for three days!” Relieved, Junior Leopard stood up. There was nothing about the underground fire vein that kept him there. He had planned on not going in anyway, especially since there was someone who he very much disliked inside.
So he followed after Wang She without hesitation. He gestured for Pei Zheng, who looked pale, to go in as he left. ”I'm sorry, this senior. Help yourself!”
What he basically meant that he had done his job and Pei Zheng was free to go in if he wanted. Pei Zheng sighed as he watched Wang She and Junior Leopard's retreating figures. He turned to look down at the entrance to the underground fire vein. It was emitting strange red light like it was the large mouth of a monster. He stared at the entrance for a while, before shaking his head and leaving stoutly.
The conversation between Junior Leopard and Wang She earlier made him feel uneasy. If he did not misunderstand them, there should be another person in the fire vein underground.
He did not have the mood to care who the person was, if Wang She brought him in, or the relationship between them. He had met too many accidents today. Besides, he had already made it here so he knew what was actually going on. Even he went back now, he would be able to explain it. The information he had received from the two persons earlier was enough for him to call it a day.

The atmosphere was somewhat depressing and strange.
This building was the branch of the Wu Family in Zhonghe Prefecture and also one of the few architectures left unransacked by the Sect of Flame.
As one of the four smelting families in Great Jin, the Wu Family enjoyed privileges not only in Great Jin, but also before the Sect of Flame.
Thus, except Supervisor Wu's residence, all the Wu Family estates in Zhonghe Prefecture were safe. The storehouse filled with weapons was also untouched, safe and sound without losing even one kitchen knife.
There was a table in the hall. Some people were sitting around it, while others were standing.
They were Jin Nanqing, Zhou Zhengming, Little Lou, and the other three disciples who left with Junior Leopard.
”So, Zhou Bao has reached Level Three!”
The old man sitting at the table gave a light sigh, breaking the long and uncomfortable silence.
”Yes!” Jin Nanqing raised his head to look at the old man, a flash of helpless in his eyes. ”I saw him breaking into Level Three from Level Two during the fight!”
”And he cleared the Punching Spirit!” The old man said quietly to himself, glancing at the other old man beside him. The latter was sipping the tea, looking leisurely and at peace. But he knew that old thing probably got excited about this event to even remember his name. He asked, ”He saved you from the underground fire vein and then returned there. Are you sure he's still alive?”
”His cultivation is already beyond our imagination. I don't think the underground fire vein can defeat him!” Jin Nanqing said seriously, with the kind of conviction that surprised even himself.
