Daoist Wang took his leave, leaving Hou Niao, the internal spy, feeling uneasy. Why was it such a coincidence that he was to deliver something to Liuyang?
After much thought, he wondered if he was overthinking it. The only connection he had with Liuyang was through Daoist Chong Ling, and the plan had been set in Anhe, Divine City. Surely not even an immortal could uncover that, right?
He made up his mind. This journey was solely to deliver a gift, and he must not seek out Daoist Chong Ling; moreover, even if they did meet, there would be nothing to say. With his insignificant status as a spy, what important information could he possibly convey?
If he was to travel far, he still needed to make some preparations, putting some clean water, dried meat, and a change of clothes in his Treasure Gourd; with the gourd's limited space, he also had to pack a spare longsword, leaving not much room for anything else.
