「The next morning.」
Hong Yu, having changed into a fresh set of clothes, returned to the Underground Alliance.
If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way. To avoid arousing suspicion, he had gone home to cultivate all night after leaving the Underground Alliance yesterday. Only now did he return in his identity as Hong Yu to pay 110,000 Gold Coins and retrieve the Restoring Yin Grass.
Although he had spent an extra 10,000 Gold Coins going back and forth, it was worth it to reduce the chance of his identity being exposed. With the Restoring Yin Grass in his possession, Hong Yu went to find Sister Qin to submit his mission, but a Steward of the Underground Alliance told him that Sister Qin hadn't been seen there since yesterday.
Hong Yu felt a little worried for Sister Qin's safety. Was she really alright?
