“Greetings, Senior Brother.”
Arriving at an inn, Jiang Beiran had just stepped into the private room when he heard Gu Qinghuan's voice.
“Have a seat.”
Gesturing for Gu Qinghuan to sit, Jiang Beiran took a seat at the round table and asked, “How's the investigation going?”
“Reporting to Senior Brother, Qinghuan was incompetent and could only roughly determine the location where the upper echelon of the Qi Kingdom disappeared. I couldn't find any other clues.”
“There's no need to belittle yourself. This was a dead-end case from the start, so it's normal not to find anything. Take me to the location you found.”
“Yes.”
Gu Qinghuan said respectfully with a cupped-fist salute. Jiang Beiran was actually quite unfamiliar with the Qi Kingdom. The reason he was so concerned about it was, for one, his next step was to integrate all the fighting strength of the entire Mysterious Dragon Continent to face 'enemies from the heavens' like the Gu Clan.
Secondly, although the Qi Kingdom had little to do with him, he had a deep friendship with the two young ladies of the Lin family. The three of them had spent over a year together in that underground cave; to say there were no feelings between them would be a lie.
