Having ascended to the second-floor guest room, Ji Ruyan successfully found the Dark Slave.
The Dark Slave welcomed her into the room. "Dark Slave, you may return and report back to your master. I am very grateful for his assistance this time. If Ji Ruyan can be of any service in the future, just ask. Even if it means walking through fire or boiling water, I, Ji Ruyan, will help him accomplish his goal."
"Understood."
The Dark Slave merely glanced at her indifferently; in her eyes, she could not see how a six-year-old Ji Ruyan would bring any good fortune to her master.
She was just a Hidden Guard, a mere servant.
The tasks assigned by her master, she only needed to complete.
Therefore, she would relay Ji Ruyan's words to her master without omitting a single one.
Ji Ruyan took a piece of blood jade from around her neck. The entire piece was carved with the pattern of a phoenix, fiery red in color, and upon closer inspection, looked like a blazing flame.
