[You glanced at him but didn't reply, instead asking Yang Yu: "Did he participate in the research?"]
[Yang Yu nodded, fearfully saying: "He did participate, but he's a good person. Someone used a toothpick to pierce under my nail to force me, and he secretly used potion to help treat me."]
["How rare, unstained by the mud." You nodded, recalling the injuries Cao Yang had barely survived before, thinking to yourself that this person saved your life and you still killed him; indeed, monsters don't follow any logic.]
[You didn't dwell on it for much longer and headed north, preparing to find the Guardian Shi Haitao of the area once more.]
[Familiar with the town by now, not needing guidance anymore, you gave Cao Yang a slap before leaving, "This slap is to wake you up, hurry up and get out of here, kid. This place is full of people you can't mess with; you'd better forget everything that happened today."]
