Fortunately, Li Huaxing didn't ask any further questions.
"Brother Jing, I've packed the package. The two of us can carry it."
"No rush." Chen Jing thought for a moment and realized that it would be problematic to rush to move in before he had even rented a place. Besides, he planned to report this to his mentor first and ask him for details.
If the truth behind the blood sacrifice is to be investigated, then rather than blindly searching incognito, it would probably be better to pretend to join the Black Hand's gang. This would allow access to more secrets and be much safer. Even if one still needs to investigate incognito, at least one would know where to go incognito!
But there are still risks... Chen Jing thought, maybe that 'Priest' saw through his invisibility. No, not necessarily. If the 'Priest' found out that a stranger was secretly boarding the ship, would he not stop him?
That incident seems really strange now...
Chen Jing frowned and said to Li Huaxing first, "I will come to find you before tonight. You stay here by yourself for now."
Li Huaxing nodded sensibly and didn't ask any further questions.
After leaving some money for Li Huaxing, Chen Jing jumped out of the door, preparing to head to the fledgling area to see his master, the 'expert'.
"I'm a little hungry..." Chen Jing thought as he went out.
"As usual, I need to go to the market to buy some rice or flour, and some firewood..."
Chen Jing couldn't help but swallow.
"The important matter comes first..." he thought, heading towards the fledgling area. He needed to report to the experts about the invitation from Black Hand and ask for his master's opinion.
On the way, Chen Jing met a merchant who traveled from street to street and spent 1 Blue Star Coin to buy some Green Thorn Fruit.
Green thorn berries are small, algae-green berries, somewhat similar in size and shape to the mulberries Chen Jing had seen before his time travel. It's a very resilient plant, requiring only a little soil and water, plus a stick, to grow; it's a vine-borne fruit. Besides being eaten as a snack to replenish energy and water, it's only sweet for a short period, and for most of the time tastes sour and astringent.
It only needs to be planted in the soil and have water for one day out of every ten days to stay healthy and produce fruit. It can also be carried because its main body is a vine that can be coiled around walking sticks and wooden sticks.
It is extremely sensitive to toxins; it will turn yellow and wither immediately once it enters a poisonous area. Therefore, travelers often carry it in Ash City and other places.
"So sour..." Chen Jing muttered to himself as he bit into the fruit.
As he walked, something suddenly occurred to him.
If that 'priest' recognizes me, Roy will also know that I let the assassin go...
Could it be that Luo Jiu's question to me is actually a trap, but not a trap specifically targeting me, but rather a long-term scheme to catch a big fish?
He or the forces behind him want to know who instructed me to rescue people and who provided me with assistance.
As Chen Jing thought about it, he felt that this was very likely. He felt a chill down his spine, as if a pair of malicious eyes were staring at him from the mist behind him.
