Fen Ling, holding Zhou Gu with one hand, and sheathing his sword with the other, withdrew from the combat circle.
Zhou Gu finally spoke, "Thank you."
Fen Ling smiled at him and let go of his hand, "If you want to thank someone, thank my sister! She anticipated that you would be ambushed on the road and that you did not have many people with you, so she asked me to bring men to protect you."
Zhou Gu was silent for a moment before responding, "Alright, I will express my thanks to her."
Fen Ling giggled, "Just kidding. My sister probably doesn't need your gratitude."
He didn't finish his sentence, intending to say that it was enough that Zhou Gu was fine, whether he thanked her or not didn't matter.
