Chapter 53: The Situation (Request for Follow-up Reading)

After the misunderstanding was cleared, Su Jie no longer acted hostilely but asked Cai Chun'e about the recent situation at Ghost Ridge Palace.

"Are you saying the Alien Ghosts are wreaking havoc more severely now?"

Su Jie set down his teacup, his fingers gently tapping the tea table as he looked across at Cai Chun'e.

"Why would I lie to you? Just go out and ask around a little, and you'll find it's very difficult for us merchants to bring in goods now. Many types of elixirs, talismans, and Magic Artifacts in the Black Market are out of stock."

When Cai Chun'e talked about this, she was full of complaints.

"Aren't there disciples stationed around the trade routes? Is that ineffective?"

Before he returned to Blue Star, Su Jie recalled, Ghost Ridge Palace had mobilized most of its disciples to station outside.
