Zhao Manying snorted, "The other night, you were so arrogant, saying I would never rid myself of my Heart Demon, and now you're changing your tune?"
"Uh..."
Ji Xinghuo was about to explain when a cellphone by the side of the Martial Arts Arena rang.
His expression shifted slightly.
This ringtone was designated and different from a normal incoming call; it was only triggered by internal calls from the Sword Bureau or messages from the "Heaven's Melody" software.
"I need to take this call."
Ji Xinghuo went over to pick up the phone, which displayed a string of encrypted numbers. Once he connected, the voice of Zhou Yishang came through.
"Xinghuo, come to the base immediately."
"Alright."
After a brief conversation, Ji Xinghuo hung up and said to Zhao Manying, "I need to head back to the bureau now; there seems to be a mission."
"You go, and be safe."
Zhao Manying knew he was a Swordsman of the Sword Bureau but did not know the specifics, and tactfully refrained from asking.
