But they also knew that, with Cao Xing's strength, there wouldn't be any issues.
So, they nodded together.
Jes, seeing this, took a blood-red envelope from his pocket and raised it high above his head.
The crow named Niao Er on the right flapped its wings and flew over, grabbing the envelope and then said.
"Invitation approved, permission to enter..."
"Creak—"
Accompanied by the iron gates opening.
Jes chuckled softly, "Brother Cao Xing, let's go inside."
Cao Xing nodded, then followed Jes inside.
Once inside the castle.
It was still pitch-dark.
As if deliberately creating a certain ambiance.
Additionally, the sub-zero temperature surrounding them added an eerie, frightening feeling.
Seemingly knowing his confusion, Jes explained, "There's a rule here, no light allowed."
"Including us guests, we can't bring anything that emits light."
"It's a long-standing rule of the black market, everyone must follow it."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, not overly concerned.
