"What are you waiting for? Let's go," Wu Kun said excitedly. "I can't believe Mr. Gu has already reached the King's Body. It feels like only yesterday we were on that mission to the south together."
"Don't call him Mr. Gu anymore. Remember to address him as Gu King!"
Zhang Boshong said in a low voice.
"Knowing Gu King, I think he'd be happier if we called him Mr. Gu," Zhang Ning mused, rubbing his chin.
"Oh, really?" An Xiaoxue was skeptical.
"Once we get to Qingshi, we can try it out and see, can't we?" Zhang Ning grinned.
"Alright. Since we've all decided, we'll use an off-site mission as a pretext to head to Qingshi tomorrow morning!" Tao Liu said gravely.
"Understood!"
"Right."
...
「The next day.」
Tao Liu, An Xiaoxue, and their group accepted a mission, left the Demon Slayer Bureau headquarters, and rode out of the State City.
The moment they were outside the city walls, they urged their horses to a gallop.
