Su Wanwan walked to his side and said softly, "Brother Tianchen, Blackwater Town... I have heard of it."
Ye Tianchen glanced sideways at her. "Oh?"
Su Wanwan pursed her lips. "There was an older girl I knew as a child. She later married and moved near the Chenliu Kingdom's border. If we pass through there this time, I'd like to stop by and see her."

After finally soothing the women, Ye Tianchen stood on the Cloud Platform with his hands clasped behind his back
