Hanping Prefecture, Master Shui Mo's Casting Room.
The flames blazed intensely, and the temperature was noticeably higher than in other places. The thick curtains flapped with the wind, and a glance inside revealed swirling flames, painting the entire room red...

Because everyone else was busy, Ling, who had nothing to do, quietly followed Song Cheng.
