Li Che finished sorting out his gains and didn't continue to linger in the study.
Shangguan Qinghong had already taken his leave to return home; it was clear he sensed the aura of Divine Facade Experts competing against each other within Mansion City and knew something big had happened.
Old Chen, not knowing when, had gotten hold of a long staff and placed a wooden bench in the yard, sitting with the staff lying across his thighs, his face muscular and trembling, emanating an intimidating presence.
Clearly, after sensing the abnormality in Mansion City, he wanted to protect the courtyard with his own strength.
Although Old Chen guessed that Li Che's blood qi had probably long surpassed his own, he still chose to stand guard.
"Finished with the carving?"
Old Chen's eyebrows relaxed and he let out a breath upon seeing Li Che emerge from the study.
Li Che nodded, glanced at the night sky where lightning flashed incessantly, and his eyes slightly narrowed.
