Feng Jiu shook her head. "I still have tasks to do. I can't extend my stay."
He did not attempt to detain her but instead said, "In that case, Ghost Doctor, please wait a moment. I'll return right away." He walked out quickly without waiting for Feng Jiu's answer.
He returned after a short time with only a space ring in his hand. "We have nothing else to thank you for, Ghost Doctor. This is only a small token. Please take it."
Feng Jiu raised her brows and took a glance at the ring. Before she could say anything, she heard Old Patriarch Hong's voice behind her.
"It's only a token, Ghost Doctor. Please do not decline."
Feng Jiu nodded. "I'll take it then." She placed the interspatial ring within her own space.
Patriarch Hong sent Feng Jiu off. He didn't come back inside until he'd seen her mount the white horse and ride away from the gate.
