The City Lord of Dongfang had already collapsed in weakness. After removing the silver needles, Yun Jinnian said, "Take the City Lord to rest!"
She also asked everyone to leave, as she needed to study further those Iron Sand Snakes that had consumed the mysterious vine.
After everyone had left, Yun Jinnian sat in the chair, breathing faintly.
A breeze blew in, carrying a slight chill, and Yun Jinnian drew her cloak tighter around herself.
"Miss has worked hard!"
A warm voice came through, and Yun Jinnian looked up to see the gentleman who had draped the cloak over her shoulders. "Thank you for your cloak, sir!"
"I know of the mysterious vine, and I have a piece of it," Dongfang Zan spoke.
Yun Jinnian was taken aback, "How does the sir have something from Nanjiang in his possession?"
"It was obtained by my father due to a fortunate mistake when I was a child!" Dongfang Zan said, staring intently at Yun Jinnian.
