Now that he had become an escort leader, he needed a few people under him to handle matters. Wei He's honest yet unyielding temperament suited his tastes perfectly.
Li Cunxiao had originally intended to hunt demons after returning from the Autumn Hunt. As it happened, Wei He came from a family of hunters, and after receiving such a life-saving favor today, obtaining some experience and tricks from him should not be difficult.
With that calculation made, Li Cunxiao's gaze upon the Wei siblings grew increasingly gentle. Then, he merely revealed a hint of his intentions, and the two siblings declared that they would follow their benefactor's orders in all things.
Since they were so quick to catch on, Li Cunxiao did not waste words. He immediately called everyone over and had them head to the escort agency at once to present the treasure to Zhang Lishi.

Because the Firewood Gang had been hunting them down, they had come in a rush. They had sweated through their journey and gone a full day and night without washing up. They looked rather disheveled now.
"Benefactor, how about we wash up first?"
"No. Going like this is best, and we need to leave immediately." Li Cunxiao's smile carried a deeper meaning.
"Otherwise, if we delay any longer, Wei He's wounds will fade."
