Discussion With Palace Mistress Jiu Lan

"Duty calls, Xue'er," he declared, a hint of amusement in his voice. "I have some rather… concerning information regarding the movements of other devil sects. While the White Bone Sect and Iron Hammer Sect have been dealt with, there's still the threat of the Shadow Blade and Blood Chain sects. Nasty bunch, those two. I wouldn't want your beloved Jade Lotus Palace to be caught unaware, would I?"

 

Liu Xue nodded in understanding. The remnants of the other devil sects posed a significant threat and since Wang Li was privy to valuable information, it was only natural for him to share it with the Palace Mistress.

 

With a practiced ease, they emerged from the infirmary tent. Wang Li straightened his robes, attempting to mask the pain from his injuries. Liu Xue, ever the dutiful disciple, maintained a respectful distance, her usual facade of a cold beauty flickering back into place.
