"Your cousin? So that Baixiao is your cousin? Don't tell me you got your job as a guard at the Jade Chamber through connections!"
Paimon folded her arms and eyed Zhenhai suspiciously.
"What... cousin? Don't make things up! Don't talk nonsense! You must have misheard!"
With that said,
Zhenhai gave Paimon no chance to argue and hurriedly pushed the door open to find Baixiao.
"Oh, come on. Acting that flustered-isn't that just like saying, 'There aren't two... two or three Mora buried here'?"
Paimon complained speechlessly.

Baixiao passed on what she knew.

Lumine brushed aside the ends of the golden hair beside her face and gave a slight nod.
Mt. Tianheng wasn't far from the Jade Chamber. They could even create a wind current atop the Jade Chamber to rise higher and fly straight over to Mt. Tianheng.
