The sense of crisis hovering in his heart made Ye Zhen's nerves immediately tense.
"Hurry up, quickly!" Ye Zhen urged Shii Bei internally and entrusted the matter of purchasing the sea map entirely to him.
Shii Bei was a veteran here, exceptionally skilled at understanding others and reading the situation.
Without a single unnecessary word, after a quick negotiation, he followed Ye Zhen out of the underground black market at a brisk pace.
"Master, you were too hasty. If you had given me another half a quarter-hour, I could have brought the price of the sea map down by another ten percent..."
After leaving, Shii Bei was still complaining, but Ye Zhen made a silencing gesture, looking nervously towards the sky.
At that moment, the crisis feeling hovering over Ye Zhen's heart had nearly doubled and continued to increase rapidly.
Shii Bei's sharp eyes fixed on Ye Zhen, as if he had perceived something with his keen insight.
