After answering Shang's questions, the Sweeper and the Ancestral Mage continued talking.

The Sweeper was going through some important questions while warning the Ancestral Mage about things he would have to go through if he actually decided to join their organization.

The Ancestral Mage just kept nodding and dismissing the messages, saying that all of that was fine.

It seemed like he didn't have any particular aversions to doing things that required a colder mindset.

As long as he was getting paid, he didn't care.

"Alright, I need to contact my superior for anything further," the Sweeper said. "For safety's sake, I will do so outside your Spirit Sense's range."

"Sure," the Ancestral Mage said in boredom.

"Since you have the ability to hide from my senses," the Sweeper continued, "I need my colleague to verify that you stayed on your spot."

She lightly gestured to Shang.

"Yeah, yeah, just go," the Ancestral Mage said, waving the Sweeper's concerns away.

The Sweeper looked at Shang for a bit.

Then, she turned around and flew into the distance.

Now, Shang and the Ancestral Mage were alone.

"So, why are you here?" the Ancestral Mage asked.

"Secret," Shang answered.
