Chapter 178: Secret Dragon-Searching Techniques
"That's correct."
Hearing that Senior Brother Chu’s tone wasn’t harsh, Qin Sang felt slightly relieved and took out the ice coffin from his Mustard Seed Pouch.
Senior Brother Chu furrowed his brow as he examined it for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Junior Brother Qin, put the ice coffin away for now. Once we return to the sect, several senior brothers will examine it together."
Upon their return to Shaohua Mountain, Senior Brother Chu escorted Qin Sang to Sect Leader Peak, where he settled into a grand hall.
Senior Brother Chu took the ice coffin, and later, another senior brother returned it to him, inquiring about his encounters in the underground chamber. Afterward, Qin Sang was left undisturbed, so he focused on cultivating in the hall.
It wasn’t until over ten days later that Senior Brother Chu reappeared, informing him that all was well.
Qin Sang hadn’t expected the matter to conclude so easily and was curious about what had transpired in his absence, prompting him to ask.
Senior Brother Chu didn’t withhold any details. "Two senior brothers ventured into the demonic cavern to confirm that what you and the others reported was entirely accurate; it was indeed an accident. We've already filed a report, and thus the matter is resolved. We all had heard of Junior Sister Qingting and Junior Brother Jiang's unfortunate fate and sighed deeply upon seeing Junior Sister Qingting's remains. Junior Brother Qin, don’t forget her request to find a good location to lay them to rest, so they may finally be at peace."
Qin Sang assured, "Please rest easy, Senior Brother Chu. I will see to it that this matter is handled properly."
