Daoist Kang had finally found his way here.
Shi Yu stepped forward, pondering how to dismiss him. As the Chief of Tai Xuan Gong, Daoist Kang was powerful, and of a senior generation; he would even address the Queen Mother by name.

Shi Yu thought that even if Daoist Kang knew Xie Xingchen was here and he had determined to protect him, Daoist Kang wouldn't create a confrontation, right?
Before he could finish, the Queen Mother had already spoken up, "Respected elder, what brings you here so late?"
The Daoist Kang outside hesitated, then replied, "You and the Queen Mother must be aware of the theft of the Nine Dragon Cauldron. The thief is likely to have come to the Flying Imperial Palace, so I wanted to take a look."
Shi Yu glanced at the Queen Mother.
