Paradise Island?
Chen Ming felt a bit surprised when Du Caiyue mentioned this place.
She's a Captain of the Six Gates, so it's not surprising she knows the headquarters of the Red Sea Monarch. But why come specifically to ask him?
Could it be a test?
He cautiously said, "I've heard a bit about it. But why does Lady Du bring it up?"
Only to hear Du Caiyue seriously say, "I have something I want to ask."
"Lady Du is too kind. The word 'ask' might be too strong."
"If someone who is neither relative nor friend gives you a world-rare body technique manual, can it be considered a favor?"
Chen Ming's expression became serious. He nodded and said, "Naturally, a favor as heavy as a mountain."
Du Caiyue asked again, "And if that person worries about your safety and secretly protects you during a long journey? Is that a favor?"
"Indeed."
"What if that person also gives you the secret technique manual you need most?"
