Zhao Xuanqi and Yang Xun met and conversed on the surface of the sea for several hours. Their talk only ceased when the sky began to lighten and a faint, brilliant crimson appeared over the distant waters.
After a night of conversation, Zhao Xuanqi had learned a great deal. Yang Xun had not hidden many secrets from him, slowly revealing truths about the extinction of the Ancient Exotic Beasts, the disappearance of the Divine Generals, the true strength of the Six Nations, and the nature of the Secret Medicine.
"The sun will be up soon," Yang Xun said. "Even though this is a remote patch of sea, we still risk being spotted once it's fully light. We should head back. Let's keep each other updated with any news or intelligence."
"Let's talk again when we have the chance."
