"Please, speak freely." Deng Changsheng was all ears, immediately sitting down.
"That friend of yours, why haven't they been out selling Demon Beast Essence Blood these past two years?"
In truth, Lin Changheng was only asking so circuitously because he hadn't seen Deng Changsheng deliver any of this blood.
If Deng Changsheng had said the blood was sold elsewhere, Lin Changheng would have had to re-evaluate the man's value and usefulness.
Deng Changsheng gave a bitter laugh. "My friend... two years ago, he became completely infatuated with a Sound Master. A lack of Spirit Stones made him act too rashly, and he ended up exposing himself and was caught on the spot. He was supposed to be severely punished, but a Fake Core elder from his family bailed him out and took him back to be placed in confinement. I'm afraid he won't be out for a good while."
