Upon hearing Chen Ji agree, Hong Zuer seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Then it will be the five of us going to Baidadan City—I, Young Master Chen, Zhang Baishi, Ah Sheng, and Star. Star, your master must stay here with me. Go pack your things and return before evening. You know the consequences if I don't see you by then."
Star hurriedly agreed and turned to leave.
Hong Zuer instructed Ah Sheng: "Be courteous when you seek out the trade caravan. They have extensive connections, and we must rely on them when we reach the Jing Dynasty territory. If they want something, don't rush to refuse; I'll find a way."
Ah Sheng nodded: "Understood."
Hong Zuer waved his hand: "Go... If Young Master Chen wants to visit the Military Market, you can go together. You're more reliable than Ah Sheng in handling matters."
