You shake your head. “No, I guess not. Well, if these very important people are interested in anyone with anything to do with her, she must have been rather traitorous. What did she do?”
“She killed some agents of the court,” shrugs Youlong. “That’s a death sentence, usually, but this time they have other plans for her.”
I wonder what the shadowy interests behind this had in mind with Chanfeng. The fact that they haven't killed her yet means that she's probably too useful right now. As fucked up as our current predicament is, getting to her from some Imperial stronghold that she was no doubt heading to would have been even more difficult.
However, the main thing I notice about our precarious situation right now is that while there are lots of ways in which A could go horribly wrong, there are no ways that I can see in which B would end well. Our only choice here is to use the medallion and hope that our combination of brazenness and quick thinking is enough to save the day. This conversation is steadily going downhill, and the only way to gain some sort of leverage in this den of vipers is to pull rank on the Hei brothers. If this works out, we can hopefully learn more about the factions within the Imperial Court and who the Black Dragon Society really takes orders from.
