Shi Lang opened his eyes and looked at the five people around him. They were all tired and had various injuries covering their bodies. He cupped his fist and said, "I apologize for the trouble I have caused you all. Also, I am grateful for your protection in this critical time. I will remember this favor."
The people smiled and exchanged their glances. Shi Lang turned to look at Yao Jiming and waved his hand to extract the sword intent from his body. The relief was sudden and evident by the expression on the latter's face. He sighed and said, "Thank you, Young Master."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You do not have to thank me, Brother Yao. It was my fault in the first place. I am glad you did not abandon me after my foolish behavior."
Yun Xue nodded and said, "Good that you are grateful."
Shi Lang smiled faintly and asked, "I think it is just the six of us left in the secret realm. Shall we head out?"
