The shadow slipped into the tent, as if searching for something, carefully flipping through items.
"How can it not be here? Could it be that I guessed wrong, and the Cauldron Piece isn't in her hands?"
The shadow mumbled to itself.
"Are you looking for this?"
From behind, an unexpected voice drifted over.
The shadow's body tensed, slowly turning around.
"It's you! Weren't you supposed to be on patrol?"
The newcomer blocked the entrance to the tent, donning a martial robe that looked washed-out. Though not strikingly beautiful, her face, no bigger than a palm, possessed eyes that shone like the morning stars.
In her hand was a necklace, and the pendant was that half-piece of Cauldron Foundation.
Upon seeing the Cauldron Foundation, the shadow's pupils contracted sharply, emitting a greedy light.
Half of the campfire's light shone upon the shadow's face, revealing that it was the alchemist named Gongsun from the Jin Family's representative team.
