China's Northwest…
A herd of sheep was moving slowly up a slope. Their white fur resembled the clouds floating in the sky, like reflections of the clouds.
A shepherd sat on a boulder, away from the sunlight. He was munching something, and seemed to be enjoying it. He was not in a rush to tend the sheep. He just let the sheep move on their own, as if he was not worried that they would stray away, or be eaten by the wolves in the wild.
He was about to take a nap when he suddenly sensed something behind him.
He turned around and saw a drawing appearing on the loose ground behind the boulder. The drawing formed a line of unknown characters.
The Shepherd smiled when he saw the magical characters. ”You finally remembered me.”
It took the words some time to complete a sentence. Extradite Blue Deacon Eagle Eye from Mount Wuyi. She has just taken out an Elder of the Enforcement Union for the Cold Prince. She has merits.
The Shepherd read the sentence, acting as if he was having a conversation with them. He even bowed sincerely at the words.
”I'm willing to serve, but is it really necessary for me to do so for only a Blue Deacon? Where are the stupider, younger Extraditors?” the Shepherd asked.
The Cold Prince is in need of manpower. I've already sent out many of the Extraditors to retrieve capable disciples. The situation Blue Deacon Eagle Eye is in isn't as simple as you imagine. The Enforcement Union might be keeping an eye on her still... appeared on the ground.
”I see. You want me to conveniently take out the pests tailing her, too. Hopefully, the Enforcement Union will send out someone capable. Otherwise, killing them is easier than killing sheep… which is why I would rather tend the sheep now,” the Shepherd replied.
There was no further response, since the Shepherd understood his mission.
The Shepherd blew a heavy whistle. The sheep scattered across the place immediately gathered to the Shepherd...
They seemed to be hurrying; not because they were well-trained, but because something terrible would happen to them if they were late...
”Let's go. I bet you all are tired of eating grass, too! Time to change it up...” the Shepherd told them.

Nanping City...
A bus arrived from Mount Wuyi in the city. Cheng Ying, wearing a light blue sweatshirt, came down from the bus.
Behind her was an old man with a walking stick. He was a little scared when he was taking the stairs down the bus. Cheng Ying had a gentle smile and reached her hand out to help the old man.
The old man expressed his gratitude. He even gave Cheng Ying a mandarin peach and said, ”Take it, it's very sweet, I planted it myself!”
Cheng Ying took the mandarin and headed to the other side of the bus stop. She seemed to be switching to another bus here. She threw the mandarin into a bin she walked past with a disgusted face.
