The weather was clear, with not a cloud for ten thousand miles.
Flap flap—
The sound of beating wings came from overhead.
Jiang Ning looked up and immediately saw that familiar Skyborne Letterbird.

The Skyborne Letterbird flapped its wings and landed on him.
Then.
Jiang Ning deftly removed the letter from the tube tied to the Skyborne Letterbird's claw.
He unfolded the folded paper and swept his gaze over it, whereupon his brows instantly furrowed.
