Before setting out, Chu Qingyun went to see Ye Qi one more time. He told her there was a promising lead on the One Yang Pill and that she absolutely shouldn't worry.
However, from the look on her face, she clearly didn't quite believe him, thinking he was just trying to comfort her.
Chu Qingyun didn't bother explaining further. 'It'll be soon anyway, and there's plenty of time. I'll just let it be a surprise for her.'
Leading his horse out of the city, Chu Qingyun headed straight for Iron Blade Gorge.
And just after he was a good distance away, two more figures emerged from the city gate.
Chu Qingyun had seen both of them before. One was Jintai, and the other was his old servant, Elder Huai—the man who had nearly killed Chu Qingyun back in Qingshan City.
