"Let's talk about 'Heart Amber.'"
"Heart Amber isn't from Bowang. For now, we've only traced its movement within Shaolong Prefecture," Cheng Lin said. "Heart Amber comes from the bottom of Spirit Platform Lake on Lang Mountain, about two hundred jin a year. One hundred jin goes to the Sword Cultivation Academy, twenty to the Divine Capital, and twenty to the Immortal Platform. The remaining sixty jin is sold and auctioned through the Merchant Association, ending up in all sorts of places."
"Lord Sui and Pu Heishou both concluded that the bead was formed six to ten years ago. We'll need the Platform to coordinate an investigation into where those two hundred and forty jin of Heart Amber went during those four years."
"The other five hundred and sixty jin aren't necessarily clean, either," Wu Dong said evenly.
Cheng Lin did not take that further. He took out another case file. "Lord Sui, while you're still here, I'd like to consult you about the old case of the assassination attempt on Yu Chaocai twenty years ago."
Sui Zaihua's tea-bearing hand paused. For the first time, Pei Ye saw the old man's brows and eyes lower.
Thank you to the two generous alliance leaders on New Year's Day. With no updates, I got busy and forgot entirely. I'm terribly sorry!!
Thank you to generous boss Stars Still Above Iron Armor for your support! Love you!
Thank you to generous boss Blue-Black Hurricane for another alliance leader pledge! You've spent far too much!
That makes 32 updates still owed!
So I'll try to remember to use them, but most of the time I'll probably just use names. Please bear with me!
Chapter 263: Leaving the meeting
The old man drained his tea in one gulp and raised his eyes. "Go ahead."
