Three Years
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
According to the arrangement made by Lu Ming and his father back then, when his official appointment was over in three years, he would go to Green Mountain if Jing Jiu met with some sort of misfortune; or he would go back to Zhaoge City if Jing Jiu came out unharmed.
Since he hadn't heard anything regarding Jing Jiu, Lu Ming was supposed to keep waiting outside the city, but he couldn't help but want to go back home to see his wife and father.
He went back to Zhaoge City without informing anybody. But he was stopped by somebody before he could get back to his home.
The person who stopped him was Gu Pan, his assistant when Lu Ming served in the Magic Army. Gu Pan was a typical external disciple of the Center Sect working in the imperial court.
