Viewing Flowers in Chang'an

"Understood!"

Cui'er did not ask what else Verdant Green Maiden needed to prepare. After receiving her answer, she nodded, took her leave, and departed.

Verdant Green Maiden paced back and forth through the Grand Hall, then summoned a martial monk.

"You! Go find the Commander of the Bad People for me!"

Though this martial monk belonged to Great Ci'en Temple, Verdant Green Maiden's status was extraordinary. Naturally, there was no issue with her ordering him about. Upon receiving her command, he immediately went to the Bad People and invited Gao De over.

"My lady, you summoned me?"

Cui'er nodded in acknowledgment.
