Ah Er rushed down the mountain, carrying a red snake, and headed for the woods in the distance.
It found the creature's death suspicious and wanted to bury it far away.
In the distance, a Flying Ship sped over in a great hurry.
As it drew near, Yi Xiang of the Foreign Affairs Hall leaped from the Flying Ship.
The moment he saw Bai Mo, he paid no mind to anything else. He grabbed Bai Mo's arm and demanded,
"Did an old man come here!?"
Bai Mo nodded and gestured at his own clothes.
"Was he covered in bone ornaments?"
Yi Xiang instantly grew tense.
"How did you treat him? You didn't cause any trouble, did you?"
Bai Mo shook his head.
"He had a token from the Foreign Affairs Hall. I didn't dare stop him."
"I've already seen him off safely."
Yi Xiang visibly relaxed, letting out a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
The palpitations from earlier still seemed to linger. Bai Mo touched his chest, his lips feeling a little dry.
