Seeing this, Song Lianshuang did not try to persuade him further and followed after him.
Leng Tieya said, "Sister Song, go take care of your own business. I can manage by myself."
"Elder Brother Leng, do you think I'm a burden?" Song Lianshuang asked.
Leng Tieya smiled. "Your Song Family doesn't want to provoke the Meng Family either, does it?"
"Our Song Family isn't afraid of the Meng Family."
"But there's no need to start a conflict with the Meng Family over someone irrelevant."
"Elder Brother Leng!" Song Lianshuang said unhappily. "You saved my life. How does that make you someone irrelevant?"
"You saved my life too. We repaid each other in kind, and neither of us owes the other anything. Let us part ways here." Leng Tieya cupped his fists.
Not wanting to drag Song Lianshuang down was only one reason. More importantly, with her by his side, there were certain things he could not use.

The Devil Race was not merely foolish; on the contrary, they were even more clever. He had to be careful.

Song Lianshuang turned her head and examined him.
Leng Tieya smiled. "What is it?"
Song Lianshuang snorted. "Elder Brother Leng, are you afraid I'll compete with you for the demonic artifact?"
"Ha ha..." Leng Tieya laughed heartily.
Song Lianshuang huffed. "What are you laughing at? Do you think I can't take it from you?"
"Sister Song, though I'm injured, you're still far from capable of competing with me."
