The names of the sender and recipient were completely missing on the paper, with only a faint trace of ink visible.
The ink marks only appeared after Dan Heng unfolded the letter.
It was as if an unseen hand was wielding the pen like a sword, writing with swift and decisive strokes.
After a short while, the contents of the paper were restored to their original state.
"Hearing that you have returned to your hometown, where you were hanging upside down in the ancient sea and managed to turn the tide, you must have rediscovered your old memories."
"As per our long-awaited promise, we shall revisit this place, reminisce about the past, and share a cup of wine."
After reading the letter, Danheng fell silent...
He then summoned Yunyin and saw the hidden content again.
"There are five names and three costs"
"It seems to be related to Danfeng's past..."
Unfortunately, Danheng doesn't possess many memories related to Danfeng.
So he decided to go to the Shence Mansion.
At this moment, Jiang Lin had just stepped into the Shence Mansion when he sensed someone coming from behind him.
"Um... Mr. Jiang Lin, are you also here to see Jing Yuan?"
Dan Heng spoke first.
"Well, Jingyuan asked me to help research a way to alleviate the demonic yin body, but he didn't give me any suitable materials. I let it go before, I'm not in a hurry."
But now I have a bit of inspiration, and in order to prevent some ideas from disappearing before they can be tested, I plan to get some... experimental materials.
The two then looked ahead.
Several Cloud Riders were staring intently at a woman.
With white hair and a black veil, and a graceful figure, she stood with her back to the two people; it was Jing Liu.
She was chatting with Yanqing as if no one else was around.
His words, however, sounded rather friendly.
Until the arrival of the two.
"Ah... I don't usually see so many guests at the Shence Mansion..."
Yanqing was somewhat helpless, then said to the two of them:
"Aren't these Mr. Danheng and Mr. Jiang Lin? May I ask what brings you two to Shence Prefecture?"
"Excuse me, we do have something to discuss with Jingyuan."
Danheng took the initiative to answer.
"You two have come at an inopportune time. The general has important business to attend to and I'm afraid we won't be able to meet today."
However, before he left, he left a message for Mr. Danheng… Mr. Danheng, do you recognize that person?
Aozu, standing to the side, chimed in.
"I don't know him. Since the general isn't here, I'll come another day."
Dan Heng decisively made a move.
After briefly introducing the Mirror Flow to Dan Heng, Qingzu turned to look at Jiang Lin.
"May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Jiang Lin?"
"Oh, I'm here to find some research material."
Jiang Lin spoke calmly.
But Yanqing and Qingzu looked at each other in bewilderment. If they remembered correctly, this person should have been invited to study the Demonic Yin Body.
What kind of material does he need to personally ask the general for? It can't be... a person, can it?
The two immediately stopped the terrible thought from their minds.
"Please wait while I inform the general..."
Dan Heng, standing to the side, was speechless.
When I told myself that the general had important duties, how come it's different when it's him...
Well, the Demonic Body is of great importance to the Alliance, so I can understand.
Jiang Lin spoke up at this moment.
"No need, I've found the material I like."
Then his gaze fell upon Jingliu…
Chapter 22 Ideal Material, Following the Crowd
This startled Yanqing.
"This...this...this won't do, it's against the laws of the Alliance..."
"Huh? What are you thinking?"
Jiang Lin sized up the short, blond-haired man for a while.
"Ah? It's not what I thought? That's good...that's good..."
Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and Qingzu, who was standing to the side, asked:
"Then... what kind of materials do you need..."
"Hmm... that Ms. Kagami... should be able to help find her..."
Jiang Lin turned his gaze back to the figure who was still pretending to be cool with her back to everyone...
That’s all.
Jingliu finally turned around.
Looking at the figure who had once so easily subdued her, she couldn't help but ponder his words from just now...
"You want me to... take you to... Blade?"
If the material he's referring to isn't her, then it's most likely Blade...
That makes sense, because the blade is special enough.
Moreover, if it were a blade, she wouldn't feel the slightest bit of reluctance...
Hmm... I believe Blade himself thinks so too...
Yanqing thought to herself, "Isn't this just a human being?"
Um... but this person shouldn't be protected by the Alliance's laws, right?
“Yes, it is indeed him,” Jiang Lin agreed.
Jing Liu nodded, then looked at Dan Heng...
"Yinyue, you've arrived. Since you're here, why not come forward and catch up? Or should I call you by your name in this life, Danheng?"
Jingliu's tone was icy, and even the surrounding air seemed to chill.
"When I left the Immortal Ship, I heard that they took away your scales and horns, forced you to molt, and then threw you into the Netherworld Prison."
I thought that Lord Yinyue had ceased to exist, but upon returning to Luofu, I witnessed once again your magnificent spectacle of parting the sea and drawing the tides; it truly felt like a lifetime ago.
“You’re right. Yin Yuejun’s life has ended, and now someone else is standing in front of you.”
Dan Heng was equally unyielding, crossing his arms and calmly speaking to Jing Liu.
Jiang Lin saw that the two were catching up and wouldn't stop anytime soon.
So he walked over to Yanqing, deciding to have a talk with her...
"Mr. Jiang Lin... what is this...?"
Yanqing was somewhat puzzled, not understanding what this distinguished guest of the alliance was up to.
"Oh, I've come to ask you some questions, but they're nothing important. You don't have to answer them."
"No, Yanqing will certainly speak frankly and without reservation."
Yanqing's expression was resolute, and her thoughts were simple.
This is a distinguished guest whom even a general would treat with utmost respect; we must not leave any bad impression.
We can't cause the general any more trouble, and we must do something for him...
"Hmm." Jiang Lin didn't say anything more upon seeing this.
Then she asked the question she wanted to ask...
"When I first arrived, I overheard some of your conversation."
You're still referring to that Ms. Kagami over there as "big sister"...
"Doesn't your general mind?"
Yanqing's lips twitched, and she thought to herself: You really are quite careless...
But he said:
"Ah, well... when I call her that, the general is usually not around..."
"And what about when your general was around?"
"Um... when they're around, I usually don't get a chance to speak..."
Yanqing said shyly.
"Oh, I see. What's that saying on your Immortal Ship? 'When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt,' right?"
Jiang Lin expressed his understanding and offered his own interpretation.
But I had a suspicion in my mind. I said that when I was in the live broadcast room, I saw Yanqing's comments...
Why are you calling her "Grandmaster" all the time? You're not calling her "Big Sister" anymore...
