Atop the Qingyun Peak in the Jiangnan Province, Tang Sen, with Ning Fei, sighed in relief after crossing a mountain range. "Once we cross the Qingyun Peak, we will be in the Xiao family's territory. You can reveal your identity then, and the Xiao family will certainly fetch you before the Six Gates can."
All along the way, Tang Sen carefully led Ning Fei through smaller forest paths, taking roundabout routes rather than walking directly on the roads of the prefecture's official residence. On several occasions, they had managed to lose the constables of the Six Gates.
No one knew how he had memorized these obscure forest paths so clearly even after spending only a few years in the Jiangnan Province.
Fortunately, no mishaps occurred along the way, and he was about to safely escort Ning Fei to the Xiao family's region. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he felt an unexpected sense of reluctance in his heart.
