"I want to join the Frozen Sea Mission."
Gu Xiao Man's voice was firm. "When do we set sail?"
Five years. She had cultivated in the Source Tower for five years and had yet to return to Southern Continent... For some reason, the moment she heard the words Frozen Sea, the deepest string in her heart was plucked.
Whether it was intuition from her Mental Affinity or Guidance of Fate, something in her heart told her—
She had to go on this mission.
"This news should currently be known only to Upper City."
Red Dragon stood before the window, gazing into the distance. He said softly, "It happens to coincide with the new God Envoy Trial. According to the Source Tower's rules, this voyage will likely be conducted together with the trials for God Envoy candidates... If you decide to set sail, you'll inevitably be tied to the God Envoy Trial."
"In other words... you'll have to try taking on the title of Red Dragon."
He withdrew his gaze, slowly turned around, and looked at the girl in the black cloak. "Are you willing?"
"Quite the scheme. I guessed right after all—you want me to inherit the mantle of Red Dragon."
Gu Xiao Man could not help sneering. "When Cloud Tiger made things difficult for me earlier, you pretended not to see it for this reason too, right? Were you hoping to stir up the anger in my heart?"
"Not quite."
Red Dragon shrugged. "If he went too far and you couldn't handle it, I would naturally have stepped in... But didn't you enjoy beating him up just now? Why refuse someone who came knocking just to get thrashed?"
"..." Gu Xiao Man had nothing to say.
"I'm not interested in any identity other than God of Wine."
