Niu Benben and Cailin left Lingxiao Hall with their heads bowed, exchanged a glance, and nodded in understanding before setting off on their clouds.
Cailin transmitted her voice, "From the Emperor's arrangement, Cuìhuā might indeed have some issues."
"It's true what they say about beauty causing trouble."
Niu Benben clicked his tongue and advised,
"Time is of the essence. I'll arrange the manpower, you go find the Nine-tailed Fox. You're not good at acting, so try not to talk to her about anything, just act as usual."
Cailin nodded solemnly.
She sighed lightly, saying no more, clearly having made her own choice between loyalty to the Heavenly Emperor and a year's friendship.
The two parted at the Heavenly Gates, Niu Benben heading straight for the Western Continent, while Cailin made her way to Dong'an City.
The Nine-tailed Fox was residing in a small courtyard in Dong'an City, secretly 'protected' by the Heavenly Fury Guards.
