"Thank you," the senior said.

Alex nodded once and didn't speak after that.

The 5 of them remained silent for a while, with no one saying anything.

Alex and the senior simply didn't have anything to say after that, while the others didn't know what to say. 

The silence was broken by Hao Ya. "Master, you need to prepare for the Northern Continent," she said.

"Oh, right," the man said and quickly stood up. He looked at Scarlet and Alex. "Do you two want to stick around? Or do you want to leave?" 

"I'm going to stick around," Alex said. "I still haven't done everything I came here to do."

"What else do you have to— Oh, right," the man remembered. "Come, she's cultivating inside right now. You can meet her there."

Alex nodded and stood up as well. He walked away with the senior, going back to the mansion he had come out of. Hao Ya followed behind them as well, going into the mansion along with them.
