"I am Wan Quan, by the way," the Early Golden Core cultivator introduced himself, breaking the silence that had followed our intense battle. "I think I've never introduced myself, though I know you are Tian Li, and Ma Chen is your assistant."
Wan Quan's demeanor had indeed shifted. Before, he had treated me politely, likely due to his orders and my position as a highly skilled alchemist and doctor. But after our battle, he respected me for my fighting expertise and medical skills. It was a noticeable change that I welcomed and acknowledged.
"Don't worry about it," I replied. "We are comrades, no matter what. Now, let's focus on surviving the night."
The full moon continued to cast its bright glow across the starry sky. Although we had managed to defeat the beast men, there was no guarantee that more wouldn't come. With that in mind, we decided to find a suitable location for a campfire and wait for the night to pass.
