When I came to discuss the ransom, Jimo Ying had gone alone to the Zeng Household because she was worried something might happen to her father there. By the time I returned, she would probably have already left the Immortal Realm. She had even used a Kunpeng Token this time, truly rushing there in a panic.
"Brother Tian, you don't need to worry too much. With the Kunpeng Token, the chances of being intercepted along the way are very low, and it won't take more than a few token transfers to get there." Beihu Yun hurriedly reassured me.
"I didn't give you many Kunpeng Tokens to begin with, and you gave them all to her?" I looked at Beihu Yun, unable to keep a trace of melancholy from rising in my heart. She had been unwilling to use one when she went to Heavenly City to report her duties, but now she had used one for Jimo Ying. She truly had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"She awakened the identity of a Houtian Child of Heaven too, so I was worried she might be just like me. Since she was determined to go no matter what, having a Kunpeng Token would at least make things safer." Beihu Yun answered, then asked about the ransom.
"The Gu Long Household still has roots tangled throughout our territory. I'm afraid even the Ye Household isn't entirely reliable." I smiled.
"That's inevitable. Before Heavenly City gave its full support to establish the Beihu Household's status, the Ye Household, Zeng Household, and Shaozheng Household all had countless ties with the Shengtu Household. Although the Shaozheng Household had declined, and the other two had begun choosing sides anew because of the territorial divisions, years of cultivation couldn't be changed in a mere few years.
