"Thank you so much Mr. Lin!" Qingzhu thanked profusely. Lin Jin smiled and waved in return. "Alright, go along now."
Qingzhu bowed deeply before leaving with her friends. Once outside the yard, they inadvertently quickened their pace. None of them felt sleepy anymore. Even if it meant continuing their journey overnight, they had to leave this place as soon as possible.
The North Ridge Duo and the remaining two evils thanked Lin Jin gratefully too. Lin Jin didn't have a very positive impression of them but they were still lives. After this experience, with their injuries and loss of pet beasts, these people might just come to a realization and change their ways.
Of course, if they didn't learn their lesson and continued on the path of crimes, they would eventually wound up in a deadly situation anyway.
