Lin Ce hesitated, but in the end, he decided not to mention the situation with Qili. Saving Qili was a major undertaking, and until he found her, it was better to keep it to himself. He would consider the next steps only once he had located and seen her. If absolutely necessary, he could hide Qili in this seaside courtyard for the time being.
He nodded in response to Qu Hegua’s question.
Qu Hegua waved a dismissive hand. "Don't worry about it. Chen Hong is no match for me now. Even if he reports me to the Sect Master, it won't do him any good. If he or Xiao Tianchen ever gives you trouble again, just let me know, and I’ll handle them."
