Just as everyone was well-fed and satisfied, Jiang Tang prepared to take them to another location for observation.
They noticed an extra vine whip on his flying artifact; it was one that they were all familiar with, having just seen it in battle before.
"Vine Whip, you're looking to get yourself killed, aren't you?"

Could Eryao say no?
