"This...this is the Matchmaker from Heaven! Could it be..." Qing Ning recognized Wang Yao and exclaimed in surprise.
"I saw this person in Eternal Night City. I was fooled by the city lord back then, who just said he was struck by lightning and died. I didn't pay much attention to it. But I found him again in Brocade City. This immortal is quite active in the Demon Realm." Hu Mei said calmly.
"This...could it be...the Heavenly Court's investigation team has...followed us to the Demon Realm again?" the fat fox demon stammered nervously.

"It's for the sake of secrecy. Everyone in Heaven knows that the Demon Lord is intentionally protecting you. If I say that Heaven is already taking action, the Demon Realm will definitely be on high alert, and our investigation will become much more difficult," Wang Yao explained.
