Lu Yu and Zhao Qingya approached the portal, ready to embark on their journey to the capital.
But at this moment, they were interrupted by a sudden voice.
"Zhao Qingya!"
A woman in a green and white dress rushed towards them, her voice laced with surprise.
"Sister Qing Ya, why are you here? When did you come to Black Gold City?"
Zhao Qingya turned, a smile blooming on her face. "Cousin? What are you doing here?"
"The family sent me to learn about the business here. I'm just about to head back."
"Then let's travel together," Zhao Qingya suggested.
The girl, Zhao Hualing, shrugged. "Actually, I was planning to visit Jasper City before I leave."
"Jasper City? You still haven't outgrown your adventurous spirit, have you?" Zhao Qingya chuckled. "Let's go together then."
Hualing's eyes widened. "Are you going on a trip too?"
"I wish. I'm heading to the capital, so I'll be teleporting through Jasper City."
