Xu Yi did not hurry to retrieve the Profound Yellow Essence. Instead, he carefully asked when the commendation document had been issued. After Bei Hai told him, he calculated the dates: it had been exactly ten days since the commendation document was issued, the agreed-upon date. Wang Rongrong had gone to Hesheng Studio at this moment, no doubt to retrieve the Five Elements Spirit.
He immediately transformed himself into Suijie and sped toward Hesheng Studio again. Striding brazenly into the entrance hall, he saw Old Sui and the others seated at a table, drinking tea. Xu Yi spotted Old Sui, and Old Sui spotted him too. Smiling, Old Sui stepped forward and greeted him with a bow.
Old Sui was Gu Beiting's trusted aide. Back when the plan to refine the Five Elements Spirit using eight pure-blooded spirit bodies was devised, Gu Beiting had handled the details, with Old Sui assisting him. Later, Xu Yi had gotten involved, and the whole affair had gone completely off the rails. Gu Beiting had been detained in Wu Yuan for quite some time, and Old Sui had visited him often. He had also spoken with Suijie.
"What a coincidence. I never expected to run into you here, Lord Sui. Whatever you need, all you have to do is tell Lord Shaoqing, and it'll be taken care of at once. Why trouble yourself with the trip?" Old Sui said warmly. He knew very well how highly Wang Rongrong regarded Suijie, and naturally wouldn't dare slight him.
Suijie replied, "You're too kind, Brother Sui. Lord Shaoqing certainly values me, but I can't forget my place. If I can handle something myself, I should do it myself instead of bothering Lord Shaoqing over every little thing. Besides, it's only a small matter of buying some medicines.
