Chapter 144: The obsessed Elder Xieling.

"Where could he be? Why is he taking longer than we anticipated?" Shi Hao muttered under his breath, his voice laced with a hint of frustration. He, Cheng, and Jian Wushuang had retreated back to their initial rendezvous point. They had been waiting there for the past hour, but Kai was nowhere to be seen. His absence was beginning to gnaw at Shi Hao's patience.

Cheng, on the other hand, seemed unperturbed by the delay. He was leisurely reclining against the rough bark of a nearby tree, his eyes half-closed in contentment. In his hand, he held a flask of wine, a new concoction of his own making. Every now and then, he would take a slow sip, savoring the unique blend of flavors that danced on his tongue.
