Chapter 324: Hot Air Balloon

Qi Yue busied herself instructing him to go down for a meal and rest, and after she finished reading, she would have someone call for him.

"Yes, Master."

With Hei San gone, Qi Yue opened the letter and largely grasped the situation Yecheng was facing.

Her view was the same as Zhao Xiyan's. The Fox King was cunning and would not make a move lightly, and he was also very clear about the proverb 'when the hare is dead, the hound is cooked.'
