章 193: Uninvited Guests (Part One)

At the lakeside camp, the group of young cultivators let out an audible cheer when Fang Lin emerged from his hut. Perhaps no one was more relieved than Yu Jinqi who had spent much of the past few days in dread, waiting for Fang Lin's rage when he discovered the side effects of the elixir. Instead, Fang Lin gave the group a few surprisingly humble words.

"I know everyone worked hard to save this unworthy little lord," Fang Lin said, giving everyone a simple salute. "In the days to come, I promise to make it up to everyone," he promised sincerely. 

"Enough of that Brother Fang," Zhang Buyan chided him. "We each did our own parts. No more, no less. You'll feel better once you've had a chance to wash and have a real meal. Brother Xiong hunted a large boar for us so come, let's not keep everyone waiting," he said, helping the young lord make his way down to the lake shore far enough away from camp to have some privacy.
