Huo Hai did not care what gift Blood Rose wanted. Anything would do. If he were not leaving, he would not even have needed Blood Rose to investigate such news; he could have found it himself.
Before long, Huo Hai had finished packing and set off in secret. According to the liaison officer, only a limited number of people knew his whereabouts this time. But if Huo Hai believed that, then he was an idiot.
Concealing his tracks all the way, Huo Hai did not even try to contact the upper ranks of Bright Yang Kingdom. Since he was rather fast, he reached the target location in just one day.
