Following the agreed method of contact, we found Skycity's liaison, who had already been sitting on tenterhooks here.
That burly man looked at me and Xue Qingcheng, and nearly burst into tears. "You two ancestors, you finally took pity on me and hurried back. If you'd been any later, I'm afraid I would've had to report that you two had died in action."
"What did you say?" Xue Qingcheng frowned and glared at him.
The man's eyes filled with fear, and he hurriedly said with a mournful expression, "I wasn't going to report you. I meant those two nominal fellows. If they didn't return after the mission, my life wouldn't be worth anything."
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? Didn't we make it back in time?" Xue Qingcheng said with a light snort.
"Yes, yes, yes... Then, Young City Lord Shenxue, can we hurry back now?" the burly man asked.
Xue Qingcheng gave me a meaningful look. I glanced over Skyroad City and coughed lightly. "Everyone's here already. There's no need to rush over one day or fall behind by one day. We still have time, don't we? We'll set out tonight. By the way, you should be very familiar with Skyroad City, right? Take us around the market."
"This... All right, all right, I'll lead the way." The burly man didn't dare refuse and could only steel himself to take us around the market.
Xue Qingcheng was wearing a veil at the moment. After all, being too beautiful and drawing attention would make it easier to expose her identity. As for saying we wanted to stroll around the market, that was actually because Zhiling still needed to establish contact with the market's Yuelin Society, so that it would be easier to build a trade route with Skycity here
