Floating Cloud Island, Townsea Palace's headquarters.
Chen Yueying sat in a bamboo chair while Fang Ming reported the situation to her.
"Junior Nephew Zhao and Nephew Sun have both been recalled. They're among the Thirty-Six Elites of our Townsea Palace. I heard Senior Brother Li also recalled Nephew Ma and Nephew Feng. I estimate they'll be entering the Profound Spirit Grotto-heaven to search for treasures as well."
