At this moment, their party had returned to its original state.
Only now, there was one more person—Gu Qingzhi.
"They've left. Why can't I see the slightest trace of regret on your face? Instead, I sensed a flicker of secret delight."
Gu Qingzhi turned around and looked at Ye Lin with a puzzled expression.
Ever since Ye Lin's mask had shattered earlier, he had not worn another one. Gu Qingzhi could therefore see every change in his facial expression with perfect clarity.
"How could that be? You probably saw wrong."
Ye Lin waved a hand casually.
How could he possibly show an expression of secret delight?
At his level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to be unable to control even his own facial expressions, wasn't it?
Gu Qingzhi had to be talking nonsense.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm truly sorry. Because of me, you all ended up going your separate ways. I am to blame."
Having witnessed the entire process, Qin Unrivaled looked at Ye Lin with an apologetic expression.
Because of him, their party had lost so many people and had nearly disbanded on the spot.
"It's fine. But now that they've left, their shares of the quotas fall into my hands."
"A total of five people left. Adding my own share, that means I can take six treasures from the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty's treasury."
Ye Lin held up six fingers toward Qin Unrivaled as he spoke.
The moment those words came out, Qin Unrivaled's expression visibly stiffened.
Ye Lin's move had completely left Qin Unrivaled at a loss.
He really should not have said anything.
"Fine. I will naturally honor what I promised. Fellow Daoists, I believe it is time for us to set out."
"The longer we delay, the less favorable it is for us."
