Ming Shu fell silent for a moment, while Li Yuan walked straight away into the distance.
After a while, three more people arrived at Ming Shu's side, making a total of eight.
They galloped out of the city, heading straight north. In due course... bypassing Antelope Pass, turning west, and then entering the mountains, they would reach the regions of Cyan Pool County and Qiutang County, a journey of about three days.
Above the eight galloping horses, a White Sparrow hovered faintly, and when they passed through Antelope Pass, another White Sparrow followed them from above Antelope Pass.
The two sparrows soared together, flapping swiftly among the clouds, closely tailing Ming Shu's group, now as small as peas from the high sky.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan, still wearing his mask and adjusting his Conical Hat, followed at a leisurely pace from afar.
