With Ji Mingxiu voicing his final decision, Jiang Chen understood that the meeting was coming to an end. He subtly signaled to Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing before standing up. Using the pretext of visiting Fang Yuan, he respectfully asked for permission to leave.
After offering a fist-and-palm salute to Ji Mingxiu and the others, he turned and began walking towards the exit of the Purple Heaven Grand Hall.
At the same moment, Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing also stood up. They gave the assembly a graceful bow before swiftly following Jiang Chen.
Seeing this, Ji Mingxiu and the rest responded with warm, approving smiles.
Just as Jiang Chen and his companions crossed the threshold of the hall's entrance, a series of system prompts echoed in his mind.
[Ding! You have successfully altered the plot. The protagonist Fang Yuan's Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 200 points!]
[Ding! You have gained 400 points of Villain Value!]
