Jian Liu was quite calm. Despite his low cultivation rank, Baituantuan possessed quite a few life-saving items. The fox storage pendant she had given him was marked, allowing her to sense his exact location. With a slight ripple of her divine sense, Jian Liu perceived that Baituantuan was still inside Feitian City and had currently entered the Town Lord's Mansion. Because of the barrier's presence, she did not contact him immediately, wanting to see how he would handle the situation first.
"What is the meaning of this? I won't even mention Honglian since her cultivation is low, but Jiangyang, how did you manage to let Baituantuan disappear right under your nose?"
"It was my dereliction of duty. At the time, we had entered a shop selling demonic beast eggs and cubs. Baituantuan saw a newborn little white fox and began bargaining with the shopkeeper, wanting to buy it. Suddenly, a stocky, dark-skinned man rushed in, knocked the shopkeeper flying, and shouted that the shopkeeper had stolen his child. The two sides broke out into a fierce brawl, and many eggs in the shop were caught in the crossfire and smashed. I protected Honglian and Baituantuan and got them out of the shop immediately. Because Baituantuan still had his heart set on that little fox, we didn't leave, but stayed watching from the perimeter. There were many people gathered around to watch the commotion, and by the time the two sides were pulled apart, Baituantuan was already gone from my side."
