It felt a little awkward for me to be facing both Minister Ma and Minister Ba after what had happened so I gave the excuse that I was recovering to avoid having to run into them again.
Thankfully, no one called me out for my bluff so I returned back to the camp inside the rift and went straight to my tent to 'rest'.
The ministers had already been escorted out of the right and from what I heard, they will have to meet again to discuss the agreement.
I was told that they could handle it on their own but I would be welcome to join them if I wanted to so I just gave the excuse that I needed to recover so they can go ahead on their own.
It's not like I would be butting in on whatever they decide anyway so it wouldn't really change anything even if I did attend.
Speaking of which, the miners were now instructed to increase the speed of their mining as they now want to close the rift as soon as possible.
