Ninth Master Lee's face changed instantly as Yongzhu leaped down; he suddenly stood up, his startled exclamation caught in his throat. But seeing that Yongzhu had landed safely, he immediately regained his haughty demeanor, sat down with a cold expression, and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Yongzhu waved at Shopkeeper Wu and Ninth Master Lee before turning and squeezing into the crowd.
Only after Yongzhu had walked away did Shopkeeper Wu lower the curtain and turn around to find Ninth Master Lee holding out a hand with a grim expression: "Hand it over—"
Understanding, Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly took out the jade pendant from his bosom and carefully placed it in Ninth Master Lee's hand.
Ninth Master Lee snorted coldly and reattached the jade pendant.
