"What's the lead?" Tang Hao asked.
His expression turned grim. If Taoist Master Chang Qing was in Westridge, did that mean that the lead had brought him there?
Did that mean that Wang Changsheng was in or near Westridge too?
Neither possibility was good news.
Taoist Master Chang Qing propped himself up and leaned against the headboard. "I've heard from Senior Brother Xuan Ling that, after the battle in South Beach, the Wang villain was nowhere to be found. He guessed that the villain must have hidden himself and was recuperating somewhere.
"That made the search a lot more difficult, which is why I'm also called in to help.
"I thought that I'd give it a shot. If I could find him, then I would have contributed to a good cause, and maybe I might be once again recognized as a Mao Mountain disciple.
"I didn't find anything for the next month and a half. I was already planning to give up but I once found a lead by coincidence."
