Hong Gui snorted coldly and shifted his gaze from Lin Xin directly to Guan Mingyue standing behind him. He then left with his people, taking large strides.
"Elder Guan, let's go as well," Lin Xin said, turning around, only to see Wang Peng and his party running towards him in a somewhat disheveled state from afar.
"Everyone, welcome back."
He opened his arms and greeted them with a smile.
Wang Peng and the others all looked as if they had shed a great burden, exhaling deeply in relief.
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness!"
Wang Peng was the first to bow deeply towards Lin Xin.
"I hardly did anything," Lin Xin said, shaking his head.
"Your Highness is too modest. If it hadn't been for the Protective Spirit Talisman hidden inside the token, my wife and I would have feared..." Wang Peng said with a heavy expression.
"So it was Your Highness's intention all along when you gave us the token."
Lin Xin sighed softly.
"Anyway, it's good that you've all returned safely."
