Hiring

Dog Butcher was terribly nervous. This was the first time they were carrying out a mission on behalf of the Dragon King, and yet he was the only one who'd arrived on time, and all the others had been late.

"Old Man Mu asked me to come and report to you first. He… he's still stalking them."

"Who's he stalking?" Gu Shenwei didn't get angry.

"Han Wuxian."

"Why's he stalking her?"

"Here's the thing…" Dog Butcher took a sip of water to try to ease his nerves, and then started narrating what he and Old Man Mu had discovered in the last few days.

Han Wuxian was clearly not alone, and there were clearly some other Waning Moon Hall members that had been assigned to Jade City, whom even Lotus didn't know about. During the last three days, Han Wuxian had visited seven places in total: five of them were in Southern Jade City and the other two in Northern Jade City — and each with different amounts of time.
