"Come, come, have a seat. Quickly, tell me about the mission." Li Jingxuan personally lifted the Zisha Clay Teapot to pour Su Yu a cup. As the emerald-green tea flowed, steam rose like a fine mist.
Su Yu accepted the teacup, took a sip to wet his throat, and began his report.
He altered and omitted certain details of the mission. As for how he'd discovered the black stone's properties, he didn't directly reveal the Water Snake Gang's oddities, instead attributing it to Lin Wanzhu.
'The Water Snake Gang affair is too entangled. I need to discuss it at length with Senior Sister.'
"Excellent, excellent! Not only did you slay two grotesques on this mission, but you also discovered the use of this black stone. A great merit, a truly great merit!"
Li Jingxuan pinched the black stone between two chubby fingers, scrutinizing it. Though he couldn't see anything unusual about it, he couldn't suppress the smile spreading across his face.
