"What are you talking about? What's soft and hard?"
Just as Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong were pulling at each other, Chen Mo walked over, curiously asking.
"..."
Their expressions froze immediately.
Yu Hongyin, flustered, stammered, "N-nothing, we were just saying that this exploration of the Secret Realm took a toll on our stamina, causing my muscles to stiffen up a bit..."
Qiao Tong chimed in, "That's right, I was just about to give the Holy Daughter a massage to help her relax."
"That's essential, better to relax and prevent injuries," Chen Mo glanced around, puzzled, "Where's Sect Master Shi? Why don't I see them?"
Qiao Tong replied, "The Master took others back to the sect first. Out of gratitude for your help, he's arranged for me and the Holy Daughter to stay and head to the Capital City to continue participating in the new research project, doing our best to cooperate with Mr. Chen's work."
