Neither of them answered the other's question, but they both understood perfectly well that the other was also looking for the Mysterious Maiden.
"What are you going there for?" Uchiha Shin asked.
"To learn something from the Mysterious Maiden." Shopkeeper Yang smiled faintly.
"And you? Are you going there to learn something too?"
Uchiha Shin shook his head. "I'm going there to look at something."
The two merely smiled and said no more, returning to the hillside.
Uchiha Shin and the others had saved countless civilians within a radius of thousands of miles. The people deeply admired them and were immensely grateful.
Everyone wanted to build temples and burn incense for them.
However, Uchiha Shin refused. He pushed Jade Ding Zhenren forward instead, saying that Jade Ding Zhenren had been the one behind everything.
The people all expressed their gratitude to Jade Ding Zhenren. Countless temples dedicated to him were erected throughout the surrounding thousands of miles, where incense was burned and offerings were made in his honor.
Jade Ding Zhenren was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor. Never before had so many people loved and respected him so deeply, and it filled his heart with joy and happiness.
"Senior Brother Jade Ding, from now on, the people within these thousands of miles will be inseparable from you. Whenever you have the time, you should help fulfill some of their wishes," Uchiha Shin said with a smile.
Jade Ding Zhenren chuckled. "You, Junior Brother Shin—you've shoved all the credit away cleanly. Whenever others see merit, they rush at it like dogs at shit, but you turn it down. You're the first person I've ever seen do that."
Uchiha Shin found Jade Ding Zhenren's comparison rather amusing.
"People fear fame, pigs fear getting fat. Too much credit is a burden as well.
