Chapter 398. Dark Heaven's Vanguard (1) (Teaser)
Zhou Xuchuan interrogated his captives a few more times, but he couldn't get anything useful out of them.
Liu Shao kept his mouth firmly shut till the end, while the tearful pirates of the Water Gangs spat out everything they knew even before Zhou Xuchuan started working on them. Unfortunately, the bandits' intel was pretty much useless to him.
Interrogating them any further will be pointless. Zhou Xuchuan sighed deeply and exited the cave.

Zhou Xuchuan rushed in and gently caught the falling Zhuge Xiuluan.
"Are you alright?"

Zhuge Xiuluan's eyes opened wide in surprise, but she quickly hid her blushing cheeks by lowering her head. After staying quiet for a little while, she replied in a voice reminiscent of a mosquito's droning. "Yes, I'm… fine."

Zhuge Xiuluan was someone who, along with the Heavenly Strategist, had been leading the Righteous Faction, after all. Zhou Xuchuan's heart nearly tumbled to the pit of his stomach upon hearing her scream just now.
"Be more careful next time. She's very important, after all."
