Chapter 348: Buddha Beads

Just a second before he planned to turn and flee, Cheng Cha hesitated. Escaping now would ensure his own safety, but then Tong Han would have to start all over again, facing all the dangers he had just encountered. That would be too time-consuming—He had to leave her some clues.

With that thought in mind, Cheng Cha turned back around. He tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his garment and used the Soul-Attracting Incense to draw the attention of a few elders. Then, crouching down, he tied the cloth to the right leg of the blue-robed elder—who was also their target for the night, Village Chief Du—as quickly as possible.

After completing these tasks, Cheng Cha, pinching the last small bit of the Soul-Attracting Incense, ran for his life. Finally, just before the incense was about to burn out, he made it back to the ancestral home.
