Chen Lin took the Jade Slip and examined its contents.
The other party had engraved a lifelike, three-dimensional image inside it. It was the Tavern Proprietress!
His mind raced over how he might use this to save Luo Qinglan, while he continued to ask questions aloud.
"If you give the order, Commander, I naturally wouldn't dare disobey. It's just that I can't leave this place on my own. Do you have a way to send me out?"
The Silver-Armored Woman nodded. "I do. But to keep you from leaving and never returning, we'll need to sign a Contract."
