The woman connected to the medicine pavilion.
The one whose arrogant admirer had caused trouble.
Han Qing looked at them carefully.
"I saw you yesterday."
"We saw you too."
"Then you know I am not supposed to be here."
Mo Yuxin's gaze sharpened.
"Why are you here?"
Han Qing hesitated.
"Because my father disappeared."
She swallowed.
"He is the leader of the Black Reef Trading House."
Mo Yuxin understood immediately.
This was no longer a random city mystery.
The missing ship, the merchant house, the sealed harbor, the black bell, the old city beneath Bluewave City, all of it connected.
Han Qing looked at the bronze token.
Her face changed.
"Where did you get that?"
"Bought it from a stall."
"That is impossible."
"Why?"
"Because every fragment of the Key of Tides was sealed below the city more than eight hundred years ago."
Su Yubing looked at Mo Yuxin.
Mo Yuxin asked, "How did a piece end up in a market stall?"
Han Qing shook her head.
"Someone moved it."
