At a time like this, was Ghost Face Horse's call really so ill-timed?
But Fifth Princess still pressed the answer button. She turned on speakerphone and set the phone on the table.
"Eat up," Fifth Princess said with a smile as she looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded, then lowered his head and began eating.
As soon as the call connected, Ghost Face Horse's voice came through.
"Fifth Princess, it's Ghost Face Horse. Where are you right now?" he asked.
Fifth Princess frowned. "I'm having a meal with a friend. What do you need?"
"I came to find you because there's something I'd like to work with you on," Ghost Face Horse said bluntly.
Fifth Princess listened, weighing it in her mind.
Cooperate?!
It seemed this was about that human prodigy again.
Fifth Princess gave a cold laugh to herself.
She knew Ghost Face Horse wasn't simply after the human prodigy. He was after the ancient fierce plant in that human's possession.
"Oh? What kind of cooperation?" Fifth Princess asked, puzzled. Hadn't Fire Giant Ape already said in the chat group that they should all team up to capture Su Chen first?
What else could Ghost Face Horse want to cooperate with her on?
Hearing Fifth Princess's question, Ghost Face Horse's lips curved into a smile.
"I'll get straight to the point," he said slowly. "I'm sure you already know that the human prodigy has infiltrated the Abyss Race's castle. All the great Lineages are searching for that human now."
"If we form an alliance, we'll be able to search in secret much faster than the other factions."
"We can also complement each other. If necessary, we can exchange information, so the moment either of us finds something out, the other will know right away!"
"And?" Fifth Princess asked
