Zhou Qiang shuddered at that glance from Tianmiao and quickly turned his head away, avoiding eye contact with Tianmiao.
Que Qiu came forward from behind and said, "You have reached your destination now, so I won't disturb you. Unless there's danger, I will notify you in time. Don't worry about where I am; just use the walkie-talkie to contact me if there are any issues."
Seeing Que Qiu about to leave, Professor Wu hurriedly spoke up, "Guide, you know that even though we've arrived, we still rely on your experience for many things. Let's not be so distant—it's better for everyone if we stick together, right?"
Que Qiu seemed to think for a moment, then said lightly, "Okay, but it'll cost more."
Professor Wu quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, you'll be well compensated!"
Que Qiu, carrying his bag, said nothing further and followed behind the group.
