Ling Feng stayed behind, indeed, with another purpose in mind.
After Chu Nan left, Ling Feng knew Chu Nan would soon return, having only been tasked with returning the Peach Wood Sword—a plan the two had agreed upon previously.
The person who had attempted to steal the treasure had not been caught yet, and by now, she must have realized that she got a fake. If Ling Feng's judgment was correct, this person must be extremely infuriated at this moment.
Ling Feng speculated that this person was likely not to give up easily and would come back to find him in order to attempt another theft.
Thus, staying here was like offering her an opportunity.
This was akin to Jiang Ziya fishing, waiting for the willing to take the bait.
The adversary coveted the treasure, while Ling Feng wanted to capture her and uncover the secrets of the organization behind her.
The next encounter would show who was more cunning.
