It was almost dawn.
A strange, translucent silhouette crawled into a mansion, entering through a window before moving deeper without triggering a single detection formation.
Finally, it landed before a person and knelt.
"Patriarch, I have retrieved the item as you have demanded."
He extended both his hands and tapped his spatial ring, causing a jade container to sit on the palm.
Opposite to him, the person called the Patriarch sat on a grand chair that resembled more of a throne than a comfortable chair. He wore a brown robe, his purple hair swaying with the wind coming from the breeze outside. His expression was serene, but when he saw the item in the other party's hand, his gaze flickered.
He reached out his hand and pulled the jade container to him.
"So the information we received on it was true. Someone did really give away this fruit as a tribute…"
