Chapter 1074: A Rogue Cultivator Named Song Chong
Zhao Zijie and Zhao Sisi were the first old hands to follow him. Shi Yue was their only support, so there was no way they would betray him. Immortal Herb Pavilion would surely expand and open more branches in the future. It was time to give Zhao Zijie a chance to learn and grow. Besides, with one more trusted subordinate by his side on this trip, things would be easier to handle.
"Shopkeeper, I'll call him over right away." The stone weighing on Zhao Sisi's heart finally dropped. Beaming with joy, she took out her Communication Disk and sent word to Zhao Zijie.

"Zijie, the shopkeeper's willing to take you along. Keep your wits about you and don't cause trouble for him. This is your chance, understand?" Zhao Sisi reminded him, still a little worried.
