Chapter 224: The Mission
Qin Sang knew Wandering Man’s words were spoken out of courtesy.
Even without Wandering Man, Qin Sang could have escaped the encirclement of the Cloud Beasts, though at a higher cost. It certainly wouldn’t have been just the loss of a single black shield artifact. Likewise, Wandering Man would have managed similarly.
"You’ve been traveling westward for half a year, Senior. You must have gained much from the journey. Have you managed to resolve the hidden sickness within you?" Qin Sang asked casually while reinforcing the barriers of the refuge.
In truth, Qin Sang had his suspicions. Compared to six months ago, Wandering Man’s aura hadn’t noticeably changed, so the results likely weren’t ideal.
Wandering Man also got up to help, letting out a series of bitter laughs in response.
"Half a year wasted, but fortunately, I didn’t place too much hope on success... That said, it wasn’t entirely fruitless. I’ve come across some vague clues, so at least it wasn’t a trip for nothing."
As he spoke, Wandering Man glanced at Qin Sang, hesitating for a moment before continuing, his tone shifting. "Brother Qin, are you here training, or just passing through? Do you happen to know the exact location of a hidden realm nearby—the Tianjing Hidden Realm?"
"The Tianjing Hidden Realm?" Qin Sang asked, surprised. "Senior, you plan to visit it? What a coincidence—my cave dwelling is located within the Tianjing Hidden Realm."
Hearing this, Wandering Man’s face lit up with joy. "What remarkable luck!"
