"Miss Three still hasn't discovered the trace of the Red Demon; he has gone into hiding, but our search perimeter is shrinking. He can't escape."
"Make it quick."
Gu Tao stood on the Astronomical Terrace in the Thirty-Third Sky, gazing into the misty clouds ahead. This place wasn't for ordinary people. Apart from Taiyi, only Yun Zhongzi, he, and the phoenix could come up here—the rest, even the guards, had to stay on the level below.
This site was said to be Taiyi's ceremonial ground, as well as the resting place for the Golden Crow perched upon his shoulder.
"Understood."
Gu Tao nodded, then turned to address the Golden Crow perched on a golden branch behind him: "Silly bird."
The Golden Crow didn't take offense to Gu Tao calling it names; it didn't understand him anyway. Instead, it hopped onto his shoulder and nuzzled his face. Gu Tao broke off some bread to feed it, and after eating, the bird grew even more affectionate towards him.
