Sain chuckled and put down his glass, "Haha, right you are."
He then reflected aloud, "It has been five years since we parted ways under Prince Bai Jiang's command."
"Five years, gone in the blink of an eye."
Fu Zongchen corrected, "Six years."
His expression became serious, and he spoke indifferently, "You're still the same, always speaking in riddles. What are Prince Bai Jiang's instructions? Spit it out."
Sain shook his head, "When we left, Prince Bai Jiang already said that we owed him nothing."
"If we owe nothing, then why would there be instructions?"
Fu Zongchen fell silent and then scoffed, "Speak up, or I'll have to show you out."
"There is indeed a small favor," Sain said with a smile, "Of course, it is nothing that would betray your own civilization, rather, it will greatly benefit Blue Star."
