Three days later, early in the morning.
After the doctor finished his ward rounds and left, He Jiaqing opened his eyes. There were a few things he needed to confirm with Ling Miaoying.
"My friend is a Wanderlust Cultivator," He Jiaqing said. "He has an ability called Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Calamity. Have you made preparations for that?"
"Don't worry. I have a method to conceal my malicious intent. Until the moment I make my move, your friend won't sense anything."
He Jiaqing still felt uneasy. Li Banfeng had already surprised him more than once. "Wanderlust Cultivators are known for their speed. You should still be more careful."
"You don't need to worry about your friend," Ling Miaoying replied. "No matter how fast he is, it won't matter. Once he boards my train, even if he grows wings, he won't be able to escape."
"Ma Wu is the troublesome one. He's now quite the figure in Greenwater City and has dealings with the Border Controller. If we kill him at the station, it could anger the Border Controller.
"I have already made arrangements outside the station. The moment he leaves, we'll act. Neither he nor the support hooks under him will get away."
"I don't care about the others," He Jiaqing said. "But keep my friend alive. The item is what we are after."
"Don't worry," Ling Miaoying replied. "I will bring him back alive."
"We must keep this low-key and secret. Don't let anyone unrelated know about it."
"Since Ma Wu isn't coming, I will handle it alone this time. Aside from informing the people at the station, no one else knows."
With everything arranged, He Jiaqing ended the communication and waited for news from Ling Miaoying.
