Xia Ruize noticed my gaze resting on him, smiled faintly, then stood and turned to leave. Chen Teng looked somewhat surprised as well. "I thought this court deliberation would end in a drawn-out dispute. Given our current situation, they might even have turned us against our own side. Instead, the Astronomical Bureau helped us. This is almost unbelievable. Could the rumors that you brothers are at odds actually be false?"
I shook my head without answering. Only after a long while did I say, "Let's get Han Shanshan out first. Everything else can wait."
Chen Teng nodded. "All right, go get her. I'll take care of the remaining paperwork. By the way, now that this is settled, shall we visit the market? I doubt you've been there before, especially the black market. Heh, bringing Immortal Han along should be a good choice."
"But I don't have any money." I shook my head. The Divine Court really was strict about managing merit credits and treasures. Saving up any spare hard currency for trading wasn't easy. So far, I hadn't managed to put anything aside. Although there were plenty of medicinal herbs in my fifth-grade realm, I wasn't going to sell them.
"I knew you'd say that. Let's just go have a look. I still have some hard currency on me. Heh, High God Kong said that since we rarely get to come here, how could we not visit the market? If anything catches your eye, as long as it isn't too expensive, put it on his tab," Chen Teng relayed.
"Really?" Delight surged through me. This was practically a windfall. Kong Fengjun knew how to treat people after all. It seemed he wasn't that stingy.
"Of course. We've prepared some merit cards and qi discs, so don't worry," Chen Teng said
