Within the Xiao Family Ancestral Mansion.
Inside the spacious main hall.
Jiang Shi came to bid farewell and express his gratitude.
Xiao Wandeng sat solemnly in the main seat, looking at Jiang Shi, and said with emotion, "Having not seen you come out for so many days, I thought you had failed the Blood Exchange. But now I see you are in even better spirits than before, it seems you have made a breakthrough."
"All thanks to Elder Xiao's great fortune."
Jiang Shi cupped his hands in respect.
"You're being modest; this is due to your own strength."
Xiao Wandeng spoke, "Since you wish to leave, I won't stop you. Here are some travel expenses for your journey."
A servant came over holding a tray.
It was filled with silver ingots, shining brightly.
Jiang Shi hesitated momentarily, then took only two, saying, "Thank you, Patriarch Xiao. In that case, I will take my leave."
"Go, I will personally see you off."
Xiao Wandeng spoke, rising from his seat and walking outside.
