Guan Lin invited Zhu Chuanli for a meal and talked up the Divine Pen as if it were something miraculous.
Nan Xian and Qing Dai were inside the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; he had no way of entering the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to find them.
But he could pique Zhu Chuanli's interest in the Divine Pen, letting Zhu Chuanli take the Divine Pen from their hands.
Without the Divine Pen, Nan Xian, once he left the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, would be at his mercy.
"The sect still has some matters; I'll be leaving first."
Zhu Chuanli stood up, ready to leave.
He had just walked out of the room when he bumped into someone.
"Sorry."
Song You almost fell to the ground, and Zhu Chuanli couldn't help but reach out to support her.
There was a clatter.
Something fell to the ground.
Both of their gazes were drawn to it, and they saw a treasure-blue sword tassel on the ground.
"It's nothing."
Song You pushed Zhu Chuanli away and hurriedly picked up the sword tassel.
