Qingchan's Letter, Soaring Dragon Movement Technique (Asking for Monthly Passes)

"Where was it sent from?" Chen Ping'an examined the letter in his hand. It was sealed with confidential sealing wax, and the specifications were far from ordinary.

After thanking him, Chen Ping'an settled into his seat.
