Ji Liang held onto Si Shuo, unwilling to let go. He took out a cup and asked Xiao Cheng to fill it with warm water.
Xiao Cheng pouted. 'Just a moment ago, he was keeping everyone at arm's length, and now he's ordering people around like a pro.' But seeing as Ji Liang had lost his shared space, he had no choice but to take out a pot of prepared honey flower tea.
Ji Liang lowered his gaze, slowly helping Si Shuo drink the water as he recounted what he had learned.
"There were two females talking to me at the time... For now, it seems the female named Yu Jing, who's being protected by the Traveling Merchant Team's leader, Gu Jian, is very likely the Female Saint. Listening to her voice, she must have been the one who asked if I was the Rogue Beast from that place and had freed them while I was drunk. I just grunted in agreement. Other than that, I had no further involvement with them."
