"Oh, my lady... how many times have you come here already?"
"I told you, we really don't know!"

Luo Bingyao's face was full of fury. "My master disappeared after coming to your commerce association. There hasn't been a word from him since!"

Countless people scrambled out of the way, shouts ringing out everywhere.
The Peach Blossom Immortal Maiden, the commerce association's manager at the sixth layer of the Body Integration realm, had no choice but to come outside as well.
