"Abbot, I've brought the person and the thing you asked for," Officer Cui said after performing a respectful salutation, handing a transparent bottle to Jiangli. It contained a small amount of pale golden liquid. "Please keep it safe, Abbot."
"Thank you, Old Cui. I'll treat you to a drink later," Jiangli took it directly and put it into her pocket, quite informally.
Officer Cui repeatedly declined, "That won't be necessary. You're busy with important matters, I'll just wait here and take Qiang Hongtao away later."
"Alright."
Jiangli felt that was fine, saving her the need to summon spirits later on.
She gave Qiang Hongtao a meaningful glance, "Follow me."
Qiang Hongtao was tense, clearly seething with anger as he followed Jiangli.
Jiangli walked up to Song Taishan and Xia Xin, saying, "Let's go, we'll deal with Shi Dahai first."
Song Taishan's eyes were filled with doubtful glints.
