The breakfast shop.
Shen Ye sat on the sofa, his gaze slightly somber.
The Tea-Rain Blade lay within reach.
This was in the city.
If the scale of the battle expanded, casualties would only increase.
He had to find a way.
A way...
His gaze fell on the blade.
The blade.
It lazily stood upright.
Fei Lun worked so seamlessly with him that a single glance was enough for them to understand each other.

"My two business partners, I'm back."
Shen Ye sneered and pressed his hand against the Tea-Rain
