Song Jia did not sleep immediately.
Not after seeing the surname.
She remained in the Spirit Artifact library with Crystal long after ending the conversation with Sun Xun.
On the table were several records.
Yan Rui.
Yan Meilin.
Cui Ren.
Qiu Han.
Qiu Ren.
And now—
a man whose corpse had appeared among the undead in Dragon Kingdom.
"Crystal."
"Yes, Mistress?"
"Open Sun's message again."
The information appeared above the table.
Qiu Jian.
Former resident of a northern military settlement in Hou Kingdom.
Reported deceased thirty-one years ago.
Cause of death:
winter fever following an old cultivation injury.
Song Jia frowned.
"How old was he?"
"Thirty-four."
"Occupation?"
"Military courier."
Of course.
Song Jia closed her eyes briefly.
Another messenger.
Another person connected to military records.
She was beginning to dislike patterns.
"Family?"
Crystal searched the information Sun had sent.
