He sensed several murderous intents appearing outside the carriage, at the same time, gentle footsteps approached from all directions, many were surrounding them.
Bai Jiu’Er suddenly reached out, pressed down on Gu Zhan’s hand, shook her head slightly, and softly said, "It’s fine, they are probably forces behind those people you killed at the inn, here to avenge. Just relax, Little Aunt is here!"
Gu Zhan frowned, feeling a strange discomfort,
he actually saw kindness in the eyes of this young and beautiful woman,
it’s absurd!
The carriage continued to move forward,
the sound of the wind and snow outside seemed even louder, but along with the sound of the wind and snow, a series of abrupt screams, and the sounds of weapons slicing into flesh emerged outside.
Gu Zhan was all too familiar with such sounds,
he knew, outside the carriage,
a massacre was taking place, a crushing massacre.
Soon, the sounds gradually faded,
only the sound of the wind and snow remained.
Gu Zhan pursed his lips, reluctantly releasing the grip on his weapon, though he longed to do so personally.
Bai Jiu’Er seemed to have noticed Gu Zhan’s thoughts, she softly said, "Too much craving for blood isn’t good, it’s harmful for future cultivation, you should control it."
Gu Zhan: "..."
The kindly, warm emotions,
truly...absurd!
...
After nightfall, the carriage finally entered Linjiang City,
uninterrupted, arriving at a city within the city, above there was a majestic archway with three words: City Lord’s Mansion!
Uninterrupted as always, entering the City Lord’s Mansion.
However, not long after,
Gu Zhan was escorted by one of the mansion’s servants to a reception hall to wait quietly, while Bai Jiu’Er left with the token and letter from Yang Yuzhi.
Bai Jiu’Er passed through a hall, arriving at a grand chamber, from inside came a somewhat old and feeble voice: "Jiu’Er, why have you come so late, is something amiss?"
Bai Jiu’Er said softly, "Uncle, a junior of Yang Yuzhi has come with his token to see you!"
