Ye Chen glanced back at Shao Hengjiang and said, "I think you can recognize Shao Hengjiang as your godfather."
"Why should I? Am I someone without a father?" Despite not voicing it out, her heart was filled with gratitude. After all, it was a matter of life and death.
"Hey, that's not what I meant," he chuckled. "I'm saying having an extra godfather isn't a bad thing at all."
Shao Hengjiang called out, "This is the spot. Rest up quickly, eat something, then we continue to the island."
People began to stop in their tracks.
Shao Hengjiang quickly dispatched a dozen people to scout ahead, to see if they could track down Qiandu Xiang's people. He also needed to be clear about the road ahead.
Ye Chen found a tree to rest under. He was truly exhausted, able to fall asleep standing up. He called out, "Don't disturb me. I need a good sleep to handle whatever monster might show up next. I suggest you catch some rest too. You'll need the energy to run faster next time."
