"Very good. I hadn't asked you anything, so you shouldn't have said a word. That's how the rules of Hundred Flowers Palace work. You've done well. Which major sect are you from?"
"I'm just a wandering cultivator."
"Oh? You don't look like one. But since you've come here, is there something you wish for?"
Hundred Flowers Fairy reclined against the Ten Thousand Flowers Throne atop the high dais as she asked.
Gu Qingshan cupped his hands in salute. "I beg the Saint to save two lives."
"Save someone? Are they sick, or has their time come?"
Hundred Flowers Fairy asked casually.
To her, such a thing was as easy as lifting a hand, so when she first heard the words "save someone," she felt a little impatient.
"No. There's a traitor causing trouble on the front lines. General Gongsun and Heavenly Peak Holy Maiden Ning Yuechan have been surrounded by demons and are on the verge of death."
"They discovered another world, so the demons have sent their full forces to make sure they're killed."
"General Gongsun sent me out. I had nowhere else to turn for help, so I could only come here to take the list."
Hundred Flowers Fairy's half-closed eyes opened. She sat upright, her expression turning serious.
"Another world... a traitor?"
"Is what you're saying true? You should know that if you deceive me into taking action, you'll suffer consequences you cannot bear." Her voice was grave.
Gu Qingshan replied, "It's absolutely true."
"Do you have your waist token?" Hundred Flowers Fairy asked.
"I do." Gu Qingshan froze. Why was she asking about his waist token at a time like this?
"Take it out," Hundred Flowers Fairy said.
"Yes."
Gu Qingshan unclasped the Bronze Waist Token from his belt and laid it in his palm.
