"You did not think you were the special one in the plan, did you?" Yin Qi seemed to be taking full advantage of Anid's situation.
"Gong Ho here wanted to be a cultivator all of his life, but the city lord never got him the technique he needed to achieve that." The woman sat down on the couch in the room and picked up a glass of wine from the table and twirled it in her hand. "It is surprising how easily you can buy someone's loyalty."
"I offered him a cultivation technique, and he was more than willing to join me."
Andis looked at Gong Ho suspiciously, knowing how loyal he had been to the city lord, but seeing him stand there with his head down, listening to whatever Yin Qi spoke without refuting, made her doubt reality itself.
"Now, enough chattering." Yin Qi finished the wine and changed her tone abruptly. "You remember the offer I gave you the last time you were here."
