"With Ice overseeing things here, I can now visit Green Wood City without worrying about anything." Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he went back to his store.
Just right outside his store, Jiu Shen met Emperor Elyk who had just exited. The latter was somewhat surprised when he saw Jiu Shen, but he immediately let out a smile filled with complicated emotions. "Wine Master Jiu, I heard that you will be going to Green Wood City. What might your reason be for visiting that place?" He inquired with a curious look.
Jiu Shen glanced at Emperor Elyk and remained silent for a moment before he replied in a calm voice. "Nothing special. I'll just pluck a few spiritual plants and other ingredients for my wines."
