The sea breeze at the docks was a bit chilly.
"Wait."
Just as Ji Xiu made up his mind, his ambition as firm as a rock and hard as iron...
Jiang Li, who had followed him from the Ji Residence at some point, appeared by his side and waved a hand.
"Did you forget what we talked about? That you'd bring me along when you went to the Prefecture City?"
Ji Xiu was taken aback.
"Miss Jiang, this trip to the Prefecture City might get messy. Your recovery..."
Jiang Li smiled.
"Don't worry about me."
"I have my own reasons for going to the Prefecture City."
She glanced at the Water Emergence Flood Dragon beside Ji Xiu, then at Qin Zhuo, who was staring at the creature and swallowing nervously. Her eyes grew serious.
"Also..."
"I heard back at the residence... your Master Duan... was he killed by a Celestial Spirit Blade Catcher from the Black Market?"
Ji Xiu's eyes narrowed.
"Miss Jiang... you know of the Black Market?"
