After speaking, [Heavenly Army Night-Cutting Goddess] studied Li Huixi's expression, deliberated for a moment, then added:
"May the Deputy Sovereign judge with discernment."
Li Huixi remained expressionless as she demanded, "Save someone? Who?"
[Heavenly Army Night-Cutting Goddess] had no intention of concealing anything and answered truthfully, "His name is Zhang Yuan, and his Dao Epithet is [Return to True]. To repay a favor from a friend, I intervened once. I also came to deliver a Life-Bound Flying Sword to him."
Li Huixi nodded slightly, her expression still unchanged, betraying neither pleasure nor displeasure.
[Heavenly Army Night-Cutting Goddess] quietly tightened her grip on her long sword, wary that Li Huixi might suddenly strike and punch her.
Li Huixi's moods were mercurial. Often, no sooner had she finished asking a question than her fist came flying, without the slightest warning.
"Considering that your Eastern Ya Cui Clan has behaved well these past few years and caused no trouble, I will permit this once," Li Huixi said.
[Heavenly Army Night-Cutting Goddess] relaxed a little inwardly, a great stone settling off her heart. She was just about to cup her hands in respect when Li Huixi extended a hand before her.
What did she mean?
For a moment, [Heavenly Army Night-Cutting Goddess] could not understand what Li Huixi wanted.
Li Huixi said calmly, "Were you not going to deliver something? That person has already left this realm for another. If you force the items through with your strength, they will inevitably be damaged. I will help you this once."
[Heavenly Army Night-Cutting Goddess] grew even more confused, a trace of bewilderment appearing in her eyes. Still, since Li Huixi had offered, she could hardly refuse. She took out twelve pearls as blue as the deep sea, along with a suit of red-gold chain mail.
