The Fading Light

Because Lan Xin was busy with the handover, Mo Ling and Li Luo could only leave first after saying goodbye.

Li Luo was still trying to figure out how to leave the city when a blue light descended.

"Wait here. I'll find someone to lead you out."

The newcomer was Blue Jade. After saying that, it turned back into a cluster of blue light and vanished into the air.

"Is this the helper Blue Jade found?"

Looking at the massive creature, Mo Ling could not help but marvel at how many secrets there were in this city that he probably still did not know.

Mo Ling had thought it would take a long time, but under the giant turtle's guidance, they arrived before he knew it.

"Take care."

"Take care."
