When the two returned to the Dark Bird Base, they discovered that Qi Shuheng and Wang Tian'er still hadn't come back.
They had teleported to that planet earlier than Lin Shen. Lin Shen had already entered later than them, and their teleporter's cooldown time was much shorter, so they should have teleported out earlier.
If they hadn't returned by now, it was either because they were already dead and couldn't use the teleporter, or because they chose not to come back and found other opportunities on that planet instead.
Lin Shen still hoped they would return. *After all, if he went back to Gourd Mountain next time, he would need their Dark Bird guides.*
The members of the Qi and Wang Families, upon learning of Lin Shen's return, fell unusually quiet. No one dared to inquire about what had happened.
