August 15.
Wei Qingchen and Nie Fei had entered the city two days earlier; that night, Chen Qing sat at the bow of the ship, cultivating while waiting for news.
The full moon hung high, and silvery moonlight spilled over the sea.
Not long after nightfall, Chen Qing saw them returning one by one. Nie Fei was the sixth to return, "Don't worry, it's done. Wei Qingchen is just wrapping things up."
About a quarter of an hour later, Wei Qingchen returned, holding a box in his hands, which he handed to Chen Qing, "Lord Qingxu, I have retrieved the Void Flower."
Chen Qing took it, satisfied, and absorbed it into his body.
Wei Qingchen continued, "This time, we disguised ourselves as operating under Wanbao Pavilion, so it won't implicate us."
"I investigated the manager of the Yibao Building; he once trafficked one hundred fifty-two boys and girls for demons to use in enhancing Gu."
"He deserved to die!"
Hearing this, Chen Qing felt somewhat better.
