The next day.
The autumn sky was crisp and clear, and the ground was littered with withered yellow leaves.
The morning sun cast a golden glow upon the city's leaves as shopkeepers swept the stoops before their stores.
A fast horse galloped through the sparsely populated streets, stopping before the Red King Mansion.
"I am Xi'er! Open the gates at once! I have an urgent matter to report to the Red King!"
The Red King had practically become a hands-off Shopkeeper at the Disaster Prevention Bureau, and the Eternal World Painting was unreachable. So, Xi'er had no choice but to rush straight to the Red King Mansion.
Having been a Gold Medal Undercover agent for many years, Xi'er was familiar with the layout of the Red King Mansion. After a servant opened the gate, she went straight to the reception hall, waiting anxiously for the Red King.
