That meant something.
To them, it meant Gu Jin was strong, smart, and—deep down—kind.
But Gu Jin didn't know what was going on in their minds.
She just stared at them for a moment and nodded silently.
If she knew what they were thinking, she probably would've said something like,
"You think I saved you out of kindness? No. I've killed more people in my life than I've saved. I only saved you because… maybe I wanted to balance it. Just once. Just once, I chose to save people. Maybe that'll give me good karma."
But she didn't say any of that.
She just watched them leave, one by one.
The last few people had already left.
But just as Gu Jin turned to go back inside her tent, a pair of people stayed behind—a man and a woman, maybe husband and wife.
Gu Jin looked at them quietly.
She recognized the man.
He was the one who had used the measuring meter earlier to check the energy level of the rift. He had been the first to confirm that it was really a chaos rift.
