Chapter 385: Studying
"I do have my eyes on a particular sorcerer to work under me," Dasha said. "But for now, they will have to wait.
Grace’s curiosity piqued. She leaned forward again, eyes wide. "Who is it? Come on, you have to tell me!"
"Wait and see."
Grace’s smile faltered slightly and playful pout fell. "Fine, keep your secrets," she teased. "But when you finally make your move, I’ll be the first to say ’I knew it!’"
She stood up from the chair and smoothed her dress, her hands brushing the fabric absentmindedly. "Unfortunately, I can’t stay long today. I only came here because Daughter ordered me to keep updating with you." Her expression darkened for a brief moment. A smile reemerged and brightened the room. "But I’ll be back soon with more books. I’ve still got to finish my own studies, you know."
Dasha gave her a brief nod, watching as she moved toward the door. She paused for a moment, glancing back at him with a smile that seemed more genuine than before.
"Take care of yourself, Dasha. And great job with all this. The Beggar Sect aren’t easy to tiptoe around."
The Beggar Sect was an information agency that directly competed with the Whispers of the Carious. Ever since the Sleeping Giant’s attack, the Whisper’s grasp of information in the Underground had loosened significantly. Oh, sure, there was the Hao Sect who had strong connections to the Imperial Sect but they were generally composed of brothels, gambling dens, and prostitutes. They were easy to avoid. It was why Gūniáng grew agitated from the bodies. The Hao Sect were able to tell him nothing.
The Beggar Sect, however, Dasha always had to keep an eye out for. He needed to deepen his Qi Sense. His eyes and ears had to be on constant watch.
