Two days passed quickly.
After agreeing on the time with Fang Canghai, another two days went by before Xu Ran returned to Xieyun City.
The five little ones who came with him were especially energetic.
In the past two days, they'd already absorbed all the benefits from the resource allocation, and now they couldn't wait to explore the ruins next.
The place Xu Ran and Fang Canghai agreed to meet was about ten kilometers outside Xieyun City, in a mountain valley.
This valley had nothing special about it—precisely why it was hard for people to notice. Despite its proximity to busy Xieyun City, it carried a certain air of hiding in plain sight.
Walking into the valley, Xu Ran quickly spotted Fang Canghai.
Behind Fang Canghai, three others stood. Xu Ran recognized one: You Shengjiang, the vice president who hosted the exchange when Xu Ran represented Qingzhou City in Xieyun City before.
