Zuan nodded, then tapped his toes and shot out of the Blackwater Pool like a cannonball.
Zhang Zitong stood listlessly by the pool, listening to Xiao Jianren's eager yet clumsy attempts at conversation, and felt that time was passing by exceptionally slowly.
Upon seeing Zu'an appear, the two men breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Jianren hurriedly went to greet him: "Sir, have you discovered anything?"
