Yuan Mujin begged for mercy.
Gu An looked at the man groveling on the ground and didn't continue his attack.
A lesson taught was enough.
He did not yet possess the strength to make enemies of everyone.
Sometimes, doing just enough means no one will come looking for trouble.
But going too far can lead to more problems.
Of course, the necessary punishment must still be meted out.
Yuan Mujin knew his place and handed over five Spirit Stones to Gu An.
With that, he limped away, bowing his head in gratitude, "Thank you, senior brother, for showing mercy."
Gu An didn't care much, such things were common in the Outer Sect.
They usually didn't lead to any follow-up.
Those who "borrowed" Spirit Stones often had to pay them back.
Unless one had enough confidence in the support behind them.
Or they were insulted to the point of losing their rationality.
Many people would not continue to pursue the matter.
Unless one day they advanced in rank and possessed sufficient strength.
