The next day.
Everything at Xuanbei Pass was as usual. The sun rose as it always did, and the city gates opened routinely.
The southern city entrance and exit completed their handover, taken over by the Hook and Clamp Master.
It's just that...
Nalan Qiutong waited all night for the "leaving the city" message, but it never came.
Chen Chong stayed all day in the inner city, using military affairs as an excuse to refuse all visits.
Last night, when something happened to Yun Ruohai, Han Li received Nalan Qiutong's communication order, chose to swallow his anger and avoid further trouble, so he visited in person.
As a result, even he was turned away by Chen Chong.
In just one night.
Though Xuanbei Pass seemed peaceful, an undercurrent had already surged violently, difficult to suppress. Nalan Qiutong sent a communication order to Qian State, but the only response was four words.
Watch and wait.
