After a few days of calm, the Lord of the Dunes’ delayed return began to unsettle Xu Shang. He knew that if the Lord of the Dunes did not return in time, the matter he was investigating was likely more complicated than it seemed.
Inside Xu Shang’s room, Ling Zhuer and the others were playing with Xu Ling, the atmosphere light and cheerful for the moment. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and everyone turned their gaze toward the entrance. The silhouette of the Lord of the Dunes appeared in the doorway, and his arrival caused the atmosphere in the room to tense instantly.
Xu Shang asked immediately, "Er Shazi, where have you been? Why did it take you so long to return?" His tone held a trace of urgency; clearly, he was full of anticipation regarding the Lord of the Dunes' findings.
