Chapter 120: Han-Zhong Branch (2)
Three days later, as matters at the Han-Zhong Alliance began to settle, Zhi Huaran finished her preparations to depart.
She planned to tag along with the Zhi Long Sect members, including Zhi Shizhong, when they returned.
“If it weren’t for the Honghua Pavilion incident, I would have returned with you…”
Zhi Huaran muttered resentfully as she bid farewell.

“The favor is mine.”
With them covering the shortfall and providing real-time updates, failure was simply impossible.
Heh.
Jiksa Jung, smiling contentedly, turned his head.
